The undersigned hereby amend the statement on Schedule 13D filed on their
behalf on August 29, 1995 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
amended on January 30, 1996 and February 28, 1996. This amendment is being filed
as a result of the mergers, on December 19, 1996, of Insignia NPI, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company ("Insignia LLC"), with and into Insignia
Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("IPLP"), and of Insignia
Properties Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("IPC"), with and into Insignia
Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust ("IPT"). Insignia LLC
and IPC were reporting persons on the Schedule 13D, as previously amended, and
as a result of the mergers are replaced as reporting persons by IPLP and IPT,
respectively, the surviving entities in the mergers.
Pursuant to Rule 13d-2(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, this
first electronic amendment to a paper format Schedule 13D restates the entire
text of the Schedule 13D, but previously filed paper exhibits are not being
restated.
Item 1. Security and Issuer
The name of the issuer is National Property Investors 8, a California
limited partnership (the "Partnership"), and the address of its principal
executive offices is c/o Insignia Financial Group, Inc., One Insignia Financial
Plaza, P.O. Box 1089, Greenville, South Carolina 29602. The Partnership's
general partner is NPI Equity Investments, Inc., a Florida corporation (the
"General Partner"). The title and class of equity securities to which this
statement relates is the Partnership's Units of Limited Partnership Interest
("Units").
Item 2. Identity and Background
The names and business addresses of the persons filing this statement are:
(i) Insignia Financial Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Insignia"), with
offices at One Insignia Financial Plaza, P.O. Box 1089, Greenville, SC 29602;
(ii) Insignia Commercial Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ICGI"), with
offices at One Insignia Financial Plaza, P.O. Box 1089, Greenville, SC 29602;
(iii) Insignia Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust
("IPT"), with offices at One Insignia Financial Plaza, P.O. Box 1089,

partnership ("IPLP"), with offices at One Insignia Financial Plaza, P.O. Box
1089, Greenville, SC 29602; and (v) Mr. Andrew L. Farkas, a United States
citizen who is the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Insignia
and who has an office c/o Insignia (Mr. Farkas, together with Insignia, ICGI,

<PAGE>
are collectively referred to as the "Reporting Persons"). The name, business
address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each
director and executive officer of Insignia, ICGI, IPT and IPLP, other than Mr.
Farkas, (collectively the "Other Officers and Directors") have been set forth in
Schedule I. During the past five years no Reporting Person nor, to the best
knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any Other Officer and Director has been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) nor has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction which resulted in him or it being
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 violation with respect to such laws. Insignia is a fully
integrated real estate services organization which performs property management,
asset management, investor services, partnership administration, mortgage
banking, and real estate investment banking services for various ownership
entities, including approximately 900 limited partnerships having approximately
400,000 limited partners. It is the largest manager of multifamily residential
properties in the United States, managing approximately 283,000 residential
units similar to those owned by the Partnership, and is a significant manager of
commercial property, managing more than 107,000,000 square feet of retail and
commercial space. These properties are located in approximately 500 cities and
48 states. Insignia is a public company whose stock is traded on the New York
Stock Exchange under the symbol IFS. It specializes in asset value maximization
in securitized real estate entities such as the Partnership.
Insignia LLC was merged with and into IPLP on December 19, 1996. The
Managing Member of Insignia LLC was IPC. ICGI was also a Member of Insignia LLC.
Pursuant to the merger, IPC's 99% membership interest in Insignia LLC was
cancelled in exchange for a 99% general partner interest in IPLP, and ICGI's 1%
membership interest in Insignia LLC was cancelled in exchange for a 1% limited
partner interest in IPLP. As a result of the merger all of the Units
beneficially owned by Insignia LLC are now beneficially owned by IPLP, and IPLP
has become a Reporting Person.
Following the merger of Insignia LLC into IPLP, IPC merged with and into
IPT on December 19, 1996. As a result of this merger, IPT now holds the 99%
general partner interest in IPLP formerly held by IPC, and IPT has become a
Reporting Person.
Item 3. Sources and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
9
<PAGE>
All of the funds used in making the purchase of the Units and Unit loans
(as described in Item 5(c) below), $4,378,537, were drawn under a revolving
credit facility established by a syndicate of lenders for the benefit of
Insignia Financial Group, Inc., with First Union National Bank of South Carolina
as Administrative Agent and Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc., as Syndication Agent.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
On August 17, 1995, Insignia and certain affiliates (collectively, the
"Buyer") entered into the Partnership Units Purchase Agreement, the NPI Inc.
Stock Purchase Agreement and certain related agreements (the Partnership Units
Purchase Agreement and the NPI Inc. Stock Purchase Agreement are collectively
referred to as the "Purchase Agreements") with National Property Investors Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("NPI Inc."), DeForest Ventures I L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership ("Ventures I"), DeForest Ventures II L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership ("Ventures II"), and certain affiliates (collectively,
"NPI"). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreements, upon
the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements, Buyer
acquired (a) all of the units of limited partnership interest in 14 public real
estate limited partnerships held by NPI (the "public partnerships"), including
the Partnership, (b) all of the issued and outstanding common stock of NPI Inc.,
which in turn controls, directly or indirectly, the General Partner and the
general partners of the other public partnerships, and (c) all of the general
and limited partnership interests of two affiliates of NPI which provide real
estate management services. The aggregate purchase price paid at the closing was
approximately $116,000,000, subject to certain purchase price adjustments as
provided for in the Purchase Agreements, including a reduction for payment by
the Buyer of any amounts borrowed by Ventures I and Ventures II from PaineWebber
Real Estate Securities Inc. ("PaineWebber") which remained unpaid on the date of
the closing. In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreements, an
affiliate of Insignia entered into a participation agreement with PaineWebber
pursuant to which it purchased from PaineWebber a subordinated participation in
the senior financing provided by PaineWebber to Ventures I and Ventures II for
an aggregate purchase price equal to $16,239,296.
On January 19 and 22, 1996, the closing of the transactions contemplated by
the Purchase Agreements and other related agreements occurred.
