Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned hereby acknowledges that he or she has received and reviewed
(i) the Purchaser's Offer to Purchase relating to the offer by AIMCO Properties,
L.P. (the "Purchaser") to purchase Limited Partnership Interests (the "Units")
in the Partnership and (ii) this Letter of Transmittal and the Instructions
hereto, as each may be supplemented or amended from time to time (collectively,
the "Offer").
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to
Purchase, and this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned hereby tenders to the
Purchaser the Units set forth in the box above entitled "Description of Units
Tendered," including all interests in any limited partnership represented by
such units (collectively, the "Units"), at the price indicated on the Offer to
Purchase, less the amount of distributions, if any, made by the Partnership from
the Offer Date until the Expiration Date (the "Offer Price"), net to the
undersigned in cash, without interest.
Subject to and effective upon acceptance for payment of any of the Units
tendered hereby in accordance with the terms of the Offer, the undersigned
hereby irrevocably sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to, or upon
the order of, the Purchaser all right, title and interest in and to such Units
tendered hereby that are accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, including,
without limitation, (i) all of the undersigned's interest in the capital of the
Partnership, and the undersigned's interest in all profits, losses and
distributions of any kind to which the undersigned shall at any time be entitled
in respect of the Units; (ii) all other payments, if any, due or to become due
to the undersigned in respect of the Units, under or arising out of the
agreement of limited partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership
Agreement"), or any agreement pursuant to which the Units were sold (the
"Purchase Agreement"), whether as contractual obligations, damages, insurance
proceeds, condemnation awards or otherwise; (iii) all of the undersigned's
claims, rights, powers, privileges, authority, options, security interests,
liens and remedies, if any, under or arising out of the Partnership Agreement or
Purchase Agreement or the undersigned's ownership of the Units, including,
without limitation, all voting rights, rights of first offer, first refusal or
similar rights, and rights to be substituted as a limited partner of the
Partnership; and (iv) all present and future claims, if any, of the undersigned
against the Partnership, the other partners of the Partnership, or the general
partner and its affiliates, including the Purchaser, under or arising out of the
Partnership Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the undersigned's status as a
limited partner, or the terms or conditions of the Offer, for monies loaned or
advanced, for services rendered, for the management of the Partnership or
otherwise.
The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Purchaser
and any designees of the Purchaser as the true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact of the undersigned with respect to such Units, with full power
of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power
coupled with an interest), to vote or act in such manner as any such attorney
and proxy or substitute shall, in its sole discretion, deem proper with respect
to such Units, to do all such acts and things necessary or expedient to deliver
such Units and transfer ownership of such Units on the partnership books
maintained by the general partner of the Partnership, together with all
accompanying evidence of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of, the
Purchaser, to sign any and all documents necessary to authorize the transfer of
the Units to the Purchaser including, without limitation, the "Transferor's
(Seller's) Application for Transfer" created by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., if required, and upon receipt by the Information Agent
(as the undersigned's agent) of the Offer Price, to become a substitute limited
partner, to receive any and all distributions made by the Partnership from and
after the Expiration Date of the Offer (regardless of the record date for any
such distribution), and to receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all
rights of beneficial ownership of such Units, all in accordance with the terms
of the Offer. This appointment is effective upon the purchase of the Units by
the Purchaser as provided in the Offer and shall be irrevocable for a period of
ten years following the termination of the Offer. Upon the purchase of Units
pursuant to the Offer, all prior proxies and consents given by the undersigned
with respect to such Units will be revoked and no subsequent proxies or consents
may be given (and if given will not be deemed effective).
In addition to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
undersigned hereby irrevocably (i) requests and authorizes (subject to and
effective upon acceptance for payment of any Unit tendered hereby) the
Partnership and its general partners to take any and all actions as may be
required to effect the transfer of the undersigned's Units to the Purchaser (or
its designee) and to admit the Purchaser as a substitute limited partner in the
Partnership under the
3
<PAGE> 4
terms of the Partnership Agreement; (ii) empowers the Purchaser and its agent to
execute and deliver to each general partner a change of address form instructing
the general partner to send any and all future distributions to the address
specified in the form, and to endorse any check payable to or upon the order of
such unitholder representing a distribution to which the Purchaser is entitled
pursuant to the terms of the offer, in each case, in the name and on behalf of
the tendering unitholder; (iii) agrees not to exercise any rights pertaining to
the Units without the prior consent of the Purchaser; and (iv) requests and
consents to the transfer of the Units, to be effective on the books and records
of the Partnership as of the Offer Date.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION IN A PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT OR ANY PURCHASE
AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY DIRECTS EACH GENERAL PARTNER
OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO MAKE ALL DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER THE PURCHASER ACCEPTS THE
TENDERED UNITS FOR PAYMENT TO THE PURCHASER OR ITS DESIGNEE. Subject to and
effective upon acceptance for payment of any Unit tendered hereby, the
undersigned hereby requests that the Purchaser be admitted to the Partnership as
a substitute limited partner under the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Upon
request, the undersigned will execute and deliver additional documents deemed by
the Information Agent or the Purchaser to be necessary or desirable to complete
the assignment, transfer and purchase of Units tendered hereby and will hold any
distributions received from the Partnership after the Expiration Date in trust
for the benefit of the Purchaser and, if necessary, will promptly forward to the
Purchaser any such distributions immediately upon receipt. The Purchaser
reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, from time to
time, to one or more of its affiliates, the right to purchase Units tendered
pursuant to the Offer, but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve the
Purchaser of its obligations under the Offer or prejudice the rights of
tendering unitholders to receive payment for Units validly tendered and accepted
for payment pursuant to the Offer.
By executing this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned represents that
either (i) the undersigned is not a plan subject to Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or an entity deemed
to hold "plan assets" within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 of any
such plan, or (ii) the tender and acceptance of Units pursuant to the Offer will
not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code.
The undersigned understands that a tender of Units to the Purchaser will
constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Purchaser upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. The undersigned recognizes
that under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer, the Purchaser may not
be required to accept for payment any of the Units tendered hereby. In such
event, the undersigned understands that any Letter of Transmittal for Units not
accepted for payment may be destroyed by the Purchaser (or its agent). EXCEPT AS
STATED IN THE OFFER, THIS TENDER IS IRREVOCABLE, PROVIDED THAT UNITS TENDERED
PURSUANT TO THE OFFER MAY BE WITHDRAWN AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE,
OR UNLESS ALREADY ACCEPTED FOR PAYMENT, ANY TIME AFTER 60 DAYS FROM THE OFFER
DATE.
THE UNDERSIGNED HAS BEEN ADVISED THAT THE PURCHASER IS AN AFFILIATE OF THE
GENERAL PARTNER OF THE PARTNERSHIP AND NO SUCH GENERAL PARTNER MAKES ANY
RECOMMENDATION AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER OR REFRAIN FROM TENDERING UNITS IN THE
OFFER. THE UNDERSIGNED HAS MADE HIS OR HER OWN DECISION TO TENDER UNITS.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the
Partnership and the Purchaser that the undersigned owns the Units tendered
hereby and has full power and authority and has taken all necessary action to
validly tender, sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver the Units tendered
hereby and that when the same are accepted for payment by the Purchaser, the
Purchaser will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and
clear of all liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales
agreements or other obligations relating to the sale or transfer thereof, and
such Units will not be subject to any adverse claims and that the transfer and
assignment contemplated herein are in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations.
Our records indicate that the undersigned owns the number of Units set forth
in the box above entitled "Description of Units Tendered" under the column
entitled "Total Number of Units Owned." If you would like to tender only a
portion of your Units, please so indicate in the space provided in the box above
entitled "Description of Units Tendered."

All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the
death or incapacity of the undersigned, and any obligations of the undersigned
shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, trustees in
bankruptcy, legal representatives, and successors and assigns of the
undersigned.
The undersigned further represents and warrants that, to the extent a
certificate evidencing the Units tendered hereby (the "original certificate") is
not delivered by the undersigned together with this Letter of Transmittal, (i)
the undersigned represents and warrants to the Purchaser that the undersigned
has not sold, transferred, conveyed, assigned, pledged, deposited or otherwise
disposed of any portion of the Units, (ii) the undersigned has caused a diligent
search of its records to be taken and has been unable to locate the original
certificate, (iii) if the undersigned shall find or recover the original
certificate evidencing the Units, the undersigned will immediately and without
consideration surrender it to the Purchaser; and (iv) the undersigned shall at
all times indemnify, defend, and save harmless the Purchaser and the
Partnership, its successors, and its assigns from and against any and all
claims, actions, and suits whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against
any and all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs, charges, counsel
fees, and other expenses of every nature and character by reason of honoring or
refusing to honor the original certificate when presented by or on behalf of a
holder in due course of a holder appearing to or believed by the partnership to
be such, or by issuance or delivery of a replacement certificate, or the making
of any payment, delivery, or credit in respect of the original certificate
without surrender thereof, or in respect of the replacement certificate.

The unitholder hereby certifies the following to the Purchaser under
penalties of perjury:
(i) The Taxpayer Identification No. ("TIN") printed (or corrected) on
the front of this Letter of Transmittal is the correct TIN of the unitholder,
unless the Units are held in an Individual Retirement Account ("IRA"); or if

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,
31% of all reportable payments made to the unitholder will be withheld); 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 a result of a failure to report all interest or
dividends; or (c) has been notified by the IRS that such unitholder is no longer

(See Instruction 4 - Box B)
===============================================================================
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

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 Units 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 correct as furnished in
the blank provided for that purpose on the front of the Letter of Transmittal;
(iii) The unitholder's home address (for individuals), or office
address (for non-individuals), is correctly printed (or corrected) on the front
of this Letter of Transmittal.
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.
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
BOX C
SUBSTITUTE FORM W-8
(See Instruction 4 - Box C)
===============================================================================
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 has the following
characteristics:
(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

of Units Tendered," the appropriate boxes on the Letter of Transmittal
should be completed.
5. TAX CERTIFICATIONS. The unitholder(s) tendering Units to the Purchaser
pursuant to the Offer must furnish the Purchaser with the
unitholder(s)' taxpayer identification number ("TIN") and certify as
true, under penalties of perjury, the representations in Box A, Box B
and, if applicable, Box C. By signing the Signature Box, the
unitholder(s) certifies that the TIN as printed (or corrected) on this
Letter of Transmittal in the box entitled "Description of Units
Tendered" and the representations made in Box A, Box B and, if
applicable, Box C, are correct. See attached Guidelines for
Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9
for guidance in determining the proper TIN to give the Purchaser.
U.S. PERSONS. A unitholder that is a U.S. citizen or a resident alien
individual, a domestic corporation, a domestic partnership, a domestic trust
or a domestic estate (collectively, "U.S. Persons"), as those terms are
defined in the Code, should follow the instructions below with respect to
certifying Box A and Box B.
BOX A - SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9.
Part (i), Taxpayer Identification Number -- Tendering unitholders must certify
to the Purchaser that the TIN as printed (or corrected) on this Letter of
Transmittal in the box entitled "Description of Units Tendered" is correct. If
a correct TIN is not provided, penalties may be imposed by the Internal
Revenue Service (the "IRS"), in addition to the unitholder being subject to
backup withholding.
Part (ii), Backup Withholding -- In order to avoid 31% Federal income tax
backup withholding, the tendering unitholder must certify, under penalty of
perjury, that such unitholder is not subject to backup withholding. Certain
unitholders (including, among others, all corporations and certain exempt
non-profit organizations) 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. DO NOT CHECK THE BOX IN BOX
A, PART (ii), UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY THE IRS THAT YOU ARE SUBJECT TO
BACKUP WITHHOLDING.
When determining the TIN to be furnished, please refer to the following as a
guide:
Individual accounts - should reflect owner's TIN.
Joint accounts - should reflect the TIN of the owner whose name appears first.
Trust accounts - should reflect the TIN assigned to the trust.
IRA custodial accounts - should reflect the TIN of the custodian (not
necessary to provide).
Custodial accounts for the benefit of minors - should reflect the TIN of the
minor.
Corporations, partnership or other business entities - should reflect the TIN
assigned to that entity.
9
<PAGE> 10
By signing the Signature Box, the unitholder(s) certifies that the TIN as
printed (or corrected) on the front of the Letter of Transmittal is correct.
BOX B - FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT -- Section 1445 of the Code requires that each
unitholder transferring interests in a partnership with real estate assets
meeting certain criteria certify under penalty of perjury the representations
made in Box B, or be subject to withholding of tax equal to 10% of the
purchase price for interests purchased. Tax withheld under Section 1445 of the
Code is not an additional tax. If withholding results in an overpayment of
tax, a refund may be obtained from the IRS. Part (i) should be checked only if
the tendering unitholder is not a U.S. Person, as described therein.
BOX C - FOREIGN PERSONS -- In order for a tendering unitholder who is a
Foreign Person (i.e., not a U.S. Person, as defined above) to qualify as
exempt from 31% backup withholding, such foreign Unitholder must certify,
under penalties of perjury, the statement in Box C of this Letter of
Transmittal, attesting to that Foreign Person's status by checking the box
preceding such statement. Unless the box is checked, such unitholder will be
subject to 31% withholding of tax.
6. VALIDITY OF LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. All questions as to the validity,
form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of a
Letter of Transmittal and other required documents will be determined
by the Purchaser and such determination will be final and binding. The
Purchaser's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer
(including these Instructions for this Letter of Transmittal) will be
final and binding. The Purchaser will have the right to waive any
irregularities or conditions as to the manner of tendering. Any
irregularities in connection with tenders, unless waived, must be cured
within such time as the Purchaser shall determine. This Letter of
Transmittal will not be valid until any irregularities have been cured
or waived. Neither the Purchaser nor the Information Agent are under
any duty to give notification of defects in a Letter of Transmittal and
will incur no liability for failure to give such notification.
7. ASSIGNEE STATUS. Assignees must provide documentation to the
Information Agent which demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the
Purchaser, such person's status as an assignee.
8. TRANSFER TAXES. The amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on
the registered holder or such person) payable on account of the
transfer to such person will be deducted from the purchase price unless
satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or exemption
therefrom is submitted.

SUPPLEMENT TO
OFFER TO PURCHASE
AIMCO PROPERTIES, L.P.
HAS INCREASED ITS OFFER PRICE TO PURCHASE UNITS OF
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST OF
DAVIDSON DIVERSIFIED REAL ESTATE III
FOR $1,285 PER UNIT IN CASH
We will only accept a maximum of 437.42 units in response to our offer. If more
units are tendered to us, we will generally accept units on a pro rata basis
according to the number of units tendered by each person.
We will pay for accepted units promptly after expiration of the offer.
Our offer price will be reduced for any distributions made by your partnership
since the date of the Offer to Purchase and prior to the expiration of our
offer.
Our offer and your withdrawal rights will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on September 10, 1999, unless we extend the deadline.
YOU WILL NOT PAY ANY PARTNERSHIP TRANSFER FEES IF YOU TENDER YOUR UNITS.
Our offer is subject to a minimum of 35% of the units being tendered.
SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 1 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE AND ON
PAGE 1 HEREIN FOR A DESCRIPTION OF RISK FACTORS THAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IN
CONNECTION WITH OUR OFFER, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
o We determined the offer price of $1,285 per unit without any
arms-length negotiations. Accordingly, our offer price may not reflect
the fair market value of your units.
o Your general partner and the property manager of the residential
property are affiliates of ours and, therefore, the general partner has
substantial conflicts of interest with respect to our offer.
o Although your partnership's agreement of limited partnership provides
for termination in the year 2010, the prospectus pursuant to which the
units were sold in 1985 indicated that the properties owned by your
partnership might be sold within 3 to 7 years of their acquisition if
conditions permitted.
o We are making this offer with a view to making a profit and, therefore,
there is a conflict between our desire to purchase your units at a low
price and your desire to sell your units at a high price.
o Continuation of your partnership will result in our affiliates
continuing to receive management fees from your partnership. Such fees
would not be payable if your partnership was liquidated.
o It is possible that we may conduct a subsequent offer at a higher
price.
o For any units that we acquire from you, you will not receive any future
distributions from operating cash flow of your partnership or upon a
sale or refinancing of property owned by your partnership.
o If we acquire a substantial number of units, we will increase our
ability to influence voting decisions with respect to your partnership
and may control such voting decisions, including but not limited to the
removal of the general partner, most amendments to the partnership
agreement and the sale of all or substantially all of your
partnership's assets.
If you desire to accept our offer, you should complete and sign the Letter
of Transmittal in accordance with the instructions thereto and mail or deliver
the signed Letter of Transmittal and any other required documents to River Oaks
Partnership Services, Inc., which is acting as Information Agent in connection
with our offer, at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this
Supplement. QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE OR FOR ADDITIONAL COPIES OF
THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, THIS SUPPLEMENT OR THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL MAY ALSO BE
DIRECTED TO THE INFORMATION AGENT AT (888) 349-2005.
August 19, 1999

approximately 43.25% of the outstanding units of limited partnership interest in
your partnership, for the purchase price of $1,285 per unit, net to the seller

your partnership in respect of any unit from July 30, 1999 until the expiration
date. Our offer is made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 30, 1999, this Supplement and in the

therein and forward or hand deliver it, together with any other required
documents, to the Information Agent. You may withdraw your tender of units
pursuant to the offer at any time prior to the expiration date of our offer and,
