                               September 30, 1999

Dear Limited Partner:

         We understand that you will receive from ERP Operating Limited
Partnership an offer to purchase up to 26,766 limited partnership units at $385
per unit of Davidson Income Real Estate, L.P. (the "Partnership"). Further, we
understand that you are to receive a Supplement, dated September 30, 1999, from
AIMCO Properties, L.P. which increases its offer price for any and all units of
the Partnership to $390 per unit.

         The Partnership, through its general partner, Davidson Diversified
Properties, Inc. (the "General Partner"), is required by the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission to make a recommendation whether you should
accept or reject such offers, or whether the Partnership is remaining neutral
with respect to such offers. The General Partner is not making any
recommendation with respect to any offer for the reason set forth under "The
Offer-Section 10. Position of Your General Partner of Your Partnership with
Respect to the Offer" in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 30, 1999, of AIMCO
Properties, L.P., which was previously sent to you. However, it should be noted
that the amended offer of AIMCO Properties, L.P. is at the highest price of the
two offers. If you wish to sell your units for cash, you should do so at the
highest price.

         Please note that the General Partner is an affiliate of AIMCO
Properties, L.P.

         If you have any questions or would like further information about
other possible opportunities to sell your units, please contract River Oaks
Partnership Services, Inc. at (888) 349-2005.
