This Schedule 13D is filed by Kinder Gelt,  L.P., a Georgia limited  partnership
("Kinder Gelt") and its sole general partner,  Mr. Henry Hirsch ("Mr.  Hirsch").
Mr.  Hirsch is a citizen of the United  States and a Trustee of the Trust.  This

During  the last  five  years,  neither  Kinder  Gelt nor Mr.  Hirsch  have been

was or is  subject  to a  judgment,  decree  or  final  order  enjoining  future
violations  of, or  prohibiting  or mandating  activities  subject to federal or
state securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.



ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION:
----------------------------------------------------------

On April 29, 1999,  Kinder Gelt  purchased  588,235  Preferred  Units of Vinings
Investment Properties, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), which is a subsidiary
of the Trust for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000.  The Preferred Units
are  convertible  on a one-for-one  basis into Shares of the Trust,  at any time
after  April 29,  2000 at the option of the  holder,  or at the  election of the
Trust, for cash equal to the fair market value of such Shares at the time of the
conversion.

The source of the funds for the purchase of the 588,235  Preferred  Units of the
Trust was from personal funds of Mr. Hirsch.



ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
-------------------------------

As described in Item 3 above,  Kinder Gelt purchased  588,235 Preferred Units of
the Trust in a private  transaction  that was  completed  on April 29,  1999 for
investment purposes only.

Neither Kinder Gelt nor Mr. Hirsch, as sole general partner of Kinder Gelt, have
any present plan or proposal,  except as may be required to carry out his duties
and  responsibilities as a Trustee of the Trust, which relate to or would result
in:

(a) the acquisition of additional securities of the Trust, or the disposition of
securities  of the Trust;  however,  no  assurance  can be given that as general
partner  of Kinder  Gelt,  Mr.  Hirsch  may not,  from time to time,  acquire or
dispose  of  additional  securities  of the Trust  depending  on  future  market
conditions;
<PAGE>
(b) an extraordinary corporate transaction,  such as a merger, reorganization or
liquidation involving the Trust or any of its subsidiaries;

(c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Trust or any of its
subsidiaries;

(d) any change in the  present  board of trustees  or  management  of the Trust,
including  any plans or proposals to change the number or term of trustees or to
fill any existing vacancies on the board;

(e) any material change in the present  capitalization or dividend policy of the
Trust;

(f) any other material change in the Trust's business or corporate structure;

(g)  changes  in  the  Trust's  declaration  of  trust,  bylaws  or  instruments
corresponding  thereto or other  actions  which may impede  the  acquisition  of
control of the Trust by any person;

(h) a class of securities of the Trust to be delisted from a national securities
exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in the inter-dealer quotation
system of a registered national securities association;

(i) a class of equity  securities of the Trust becoming eligible for termination
of registration  pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or any action
similar to any of those enumerated above.


ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER:
-----------------------------------------

(a)  According  to the Trust's most recent Form 10-Q filed on May 17, 2000 with
the Securities  and Exchange  Commission  there were 1,100,491  shares of Common
stock issued and outstanding.

The aggregate number and percentage of class of securities  identified  pursuant
to Item 1 beneficially  owned by each of Kinder Gelt and Mr. Hirsch may be found
in rows 11 and 13 of each of  their  respective  cover  pages.  As sole  general
partner of Kinder  Gelt,  Mr.  Hirsh may be deemed the  beneficial  owner of the
securities for which Kinder Gelt has voting and dispositive power.

In addition,  Mr. Hirsch may be deemed to beneficially own 12,002 Shares held in
trust  for the  benefit  of  others  by  virtue  of the fact  that his wife is a
co-trustee of the trusts. Mr. Hirsch expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of
the 12,002 Shares held in trust and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be
deemed an admission that Mr. Hirsch is the beneficial owner of such Shares.

(b) Kinder Gelt and Mr. Hirsch each possesses the voting and  dispositive  power
as found in rows 7 through 10 of each of their  respective cover pages regarding
the shares discussed herein.

(c) There were no transactions in the class of securities  reported on that were
effected during the last sixty days aside from those discussed herein.

(d) Upon  conversion of the Preferred  Units of the Operating  Partnership  into
Shares,  the  partners of Kinder Gelt would be entitled to receive  dividends on
the Shares and any proceeds from a sale of the Shares.

(e) Not applicable.

SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER:

13D,  and  except  as  otherwise  disclosed  herein,  there  are  no  contracts,
arrangements,  understandings or relationships among the persons named in Item 2
or between  such persons and any person with  respect to the  securities  of the
Trust.
