    The person signing this Letter of Transmittal hereby certifies the
 following to the Purchaser under penalties of perjury:

     (i) The TIN set forth in the Signature Box is the correct TIN of the
  Unitholder, or if this box [ ] is checked, the Unitholder has applied for
  a TIN. If the Unitholder has applied for a TIN, a TIN has not been issued
  to the Unitholder, and either: (a) the Unitholder has mailed or delivered
  an application to receive a TIN to the appropriate IRS Center or Social
  Security Administration Office; or (b) the Unitholder intends to mail or
  deliver an application in the near future (it being understood that if the
  Unitholder does not provide a TIN to the Purchaser within sixty (60) days,
  31% of all reportable payments made to the Unitholder thereafter will be
  withheld until a TIN is provided to the Purchaser); and

       (ii) Unless this box [ ] is checked, the Unitholder is not subject to
  backup withholding either because the Unitholder: (a) is exempt from
  backup withholding; (b) has not been notified by the IRS that the
  Unitholder is subject to backup withholding as result of a failure to
  report all interest or dividends; or (c) has been notified by the IRS that
  such Unitholder is no longer subject to backup withholding.

    Note: Place an "X" in the box in (ii) if you are unable to certify that
 the Unitholder is not subject to backup withholding.



                                     BOX C
                                FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT
                           (See Instruction 3--Box C)

    Under Section 1445(e)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treas. Reg.
 1.1445-11T(d), a transferee must withhold tax equal to 10% of the amount
 realized with respect to certain transfers of an interest in a partnership
 if 50% or more of the value of its gross assets consists of U.S. real
 property interests and 90% or more of the value of its gross assets consists
 of U.S. real property interests plus cash equivalents, and the holder of the
 partnership interest is a foreign person. To inform the Purchaser that no
 withholding is required with respect to the Unitholder's interest in the
 Partnership, the person signing this Letter of Transmittal hereby certifies
 the following under penalties of perjury:

     (i) Unless this box [ ] is checked, the Unitholder, if an individual,
  is a U.S. citizen or a resident alien for purposes of U.S. income
  taxation, and if other than an individual, is not a foreign corporation,
  foreign partnership, foreign estate or foreign trust (as those terms are
  defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations); (ii) the
  Unitholder's U.S. social security number (for individuals) or employer
  identification number (for non-individuals) is correctly printed in the
  Signature Box; and (iii) the Unitholder's home address (for individuals),
  or office address (for non-individuals), is correctly printed in the
  Signature Box. If a corporation, the jurisdiction of incorporation is
                            . The person signing this Letter of Transmittal
  understands that this certification may be disclosed to the IRS by the
  Purchaser and that any false statements contained herein could be punished
  by fine, imprisonment, or both.

                           (See Instruction 4--Box D)

    By checking this box [ ], the person signing this Letter of Transmittal
 hereby certifies under penalties of perjury that the Unitholder is an
 "exempt foreign person" for purposes of the backup withholding rules under
 the U.S. federal income tax laws, because the Unitholder:

     (i) Is a nonresident alien individual or a foreign corporation,
  partnership, estate or trust;

     (ii) If an individual, has not been and plans not to be present in the
  U.S. for a total of 183 days or more during the calendar year; and

     (iii) Neither engages, nor plans to engage, in a U.S. trade or business
  that has effectively connected gains from transactions with a broker or
  barter exchange.

                                 INSTRUCTIONS

             Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Offer

   1. Tender, Signature Requirements; Delivery. After carefully reading and
completing this Letter of Transmittal, in order to tender Units, a Unitholder
must sign at the "X" in the Signature Box of this Letter of Transmittal and
insert the Unitholder's correct Taxpayer Identification Number or Social
Security Number ("TIN"), address, telephone number and number of Units being
tendered in the spaces provided below the signature. If this Letter of
Transmittal is signed by the registered Unitholder of the Units, a Medallion
signature guarantee on this Letter of Transmittal is required. Similarly, if
Units are tendered for the account of a member firm of a registered national
security exchange, a member firm of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank, savings bank, credit union, savings and
loan association or trust company having an office, branch or agency in the
United States (each an "Eligible Institution"), a Medallion signature
guarantee is required. In all other cases, signatures on this Letter of
Transmittal must be Medallion guaranteed by an Eligible Institution, by
completing the Signature Guarantee set forth in Box A of this Letter of
Transmittal. A Medallion Signature Guarantee is provided by your bank or
brokerage house. If you obtain a Medallion Signature Guarantee from a bank,
brokerage house or trust company, a Corporate Resolution (with a raised
corporate seal) from the bank, brokerage house or trust company must be
included (stating that the Guarantor is an authorized signatory). If any
tendered Units are registered in the names of two or more joint holders, all
such holders must sign this Letter of Transmittal. If this Letter of
Transmittal is signed by trustees, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-
fact, officers of corporations, or others acting in a fiduciary or
representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing and must
submit proper evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser of their authority to so
act. For Units to be validly tendered, a properly completed and duly executed
Letter of Transmittal, together with any required signature guarantees in Box
A, and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be
received by the depositary prior to or on the Expiration Date at its address
or facsimile number set forth on the front of this Letter of Transmittal. No
alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering
Unitholders by execution of this Letter of Transmittal waive any right to
receive any notice of the acceptance of their tender.

   2. Transfer Taxes. The Purchaser will pay or cause to be paid all transfer
taxes, if any, payable in respect of Units accepted for payment pursuant to
the Offer.

   3. U.S. Persons. A Unitholder who or which is a United States citizen or
resident alien individual, a domestic corporation, a domestic partnership, a
domestic trust or a domestic estate (collectively "United States Persons"), as
those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax
Regulations, should complete the following:

     Box B--Substitute Form W-9. In order to avoid 31% federal income tax
  backup withholding, the Unitholder must provide to the Purchaser the
  Unitholder's correct Taxpayer Identification Number or Social Security
  Number ("TIN") in the space provided below the signature line and certify,
  under penalties of perjury, that such Unitholder is not subject to such
  backup withholding. The TIN that must be provided is that of the registered
  Unitholder. If a correct TIN is not provided, penalties may be imposed by
  the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), in addition to the Unitholder being
  subject to backup withholding. Certain Unitholders (including, among
  others, all corporations) are not subject to backup withholding. Backup
  withholding is not an additional tax. If withholding results in an
  overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the IRS.

     Box C--FIRPTA Affidavit. To avoid potential withholding of tax pursuant
  to Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code, each Unitholder who or which
  is a United States Person (as defined Instruction 3 above) must certify,
  under penalties of perjury, the Unitholder's TIN and address, and that the
  Unitholder is not a foreign person. Tax withheld under Section 1445 of the
  Internal Revenue Code is not an additional tax. If withholding results in
  an overpayment of tax, a refund may be obtained from the IRS.

   We will accept all Units (as defined below) in response to the Offer in our
Offer to Purchase, dated September 28, 1999, as amended and supplemented from
time to time. The Offer is not subject to a minimum number of Units being
tendered. If Units are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to
November 1, 1999 (the "Expiration Date"), unless extended, and the purchase of
all such Units would result in there being less than 350 Unitholders, we will
purchase only 99% of the total number of Units so tendered by each limited
partner.

   We will pay for accepted Units promptly after the Expiration Date.

   The Offer Price will be reduced for any distributions declared or made by
the Partnership between July 30, 1999 and the Expiration Date, unless further
extended. THE PURCHASER WILL PAY ANY TRANSFER FEES, BROKERAGE FEES OR
COMMISSION THAT MAY ARISE UPON THE TENDER OF UNITS TO THE PURCHASER IN
CONNECTION WITH ITS OFFER (generally, up to 10% of the sales price, subject to
a $150-200 minimum commission per trade). We are unaware of any other fees or
commissions that you may incur.

                               October 14, 1999

                     ERP OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP HAS
                     INCREASED ITS OFFER PRICE TO $425 PER
                    UNIT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST OF
                       DAVIDSON INCOME REAL ESTATE, L.P.

                       New Offer Price of $425 per Unit.

   We are increasing our offer price for your limited partnership interests
(the "Units") in Davidson Income Real Estate, L.P. (the "Partnership") from
$405 per Unit to $425 per Unit.

   We are offering to acquire up to 26,776 Units (the "Offer"). The Offer is
not subject to any minimum number of Units being tendered. The expiration date
of the Offer is November 1, 1999, 12:00 midnight, central standard time.

   As we are increasing the offer price from $405 to $425 before the
expiration date of the Offer, November 1, 1999, unless extended, this
increased offer price will be paid with respect to all Units that are
purchased by us pursuant to the Offer, whether or not such Units are tendered
prior to or after this increase in consideration.

   Our offer price of $425 per unit will be decreased by the amount of any
distribution declared or made with respect to the Units between July 30, 1999
and November 1, 1999, or such other date to which the Offer may further be
extended. YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY ANY COMMISSIONS OR FEES IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPOSITION OF YOUR UNITS PURSUANT TO THE OFFER
(generally, up to 10% of the sale price, subject to a $150-200 minimum
commission per trade).

   Please refer to our Offer to Purchase dated September 28, 1999, Amendment
No. 1 and the Supplement to the Offer to Purchase both dated October 1, 1999,
and Amendment No. 2 and the Supplement to the Offer to Purchase dated October

   If you would like to tender your Units to be purchased by us for $425 per
Unit, and have not yet completed the blue ERP Letter of Transmittal and
delivered it to MMS Escrow and Transfer Agency (the "Depositary"), please
complete the enclosed blue Letter of Transmittal and deliver it to the
Depositary at the address listed thereon in the gold envelope provided. If you
completed and delivered the blue ERP Letter of Transmittal to the Depositary
and have not withdrawn such tender, you do not need to complete any other
documents for your Units to be tendered to ERP. A completed blue ERP Letter of
Transmittal shall be sufficient to tender your Units for purchase by ERP at
$425 per Unit.

   If you have any questions or need assistance, please call the Depositary at
(888) 292-4264.

       The Offer expires on (unless further extended) November 1, 1999.
