                             PART I

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

        The registrant is a limited partnership comprised of  AEI
Fund  Management  86-A, Inc. (AFM) as Managing  General  Partner,
Robert  P.  Johnson  as  the  Individual  General  Partner,   and
purchasers  of  partnership  units  as  Limited  Partners.    The
Partnership was formed April 2, 1986, under the laws of Delaware.

        The  registrant's business is to acquire, initially on  a
debt-free   basis,  existing  and  newly  constructed  commercial
properties located in the United States, to lease such properties
to  tenants under triple net leases, to hold such properties  and
to  eventually sell such properties.  It is anticipated that  the
Partnership  will sell its properties within twelve  years  after
acquisition.   At  any time prior to selling the properties,  the
Partnership may mortgage one or more of its properties for up  to
50% of their original purchase price.

        Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the
Limited  Partners  contributed funds during the organization  and
property  acquisition phases to pay for organization, syndication
and   property   acquisition  costs.   Upon  formation   of   the
Partnership,  the General Partners contributed $1,000  for  their
interest in the Partnership.

       The primary objective of the Partnership is to provide the
Partners  with distributions of rental income from its properties
which, because of depreciation, may be partially tax deferred.

        During  the  operation of the Partnership, any  Net  Cash
Flow,  as  defined,  which  the  General  Partners  determine  to
distribute  will be distributed 90% to the Limited  Partners  and
10%  to  the  General  Partners;  provided,  however,  that  such
distributions to the General Partners will be subordinated to the
Limited   Partners  first  receiving  an  annual,   noncumulative
distribution  of  Net Cash Flow equal to 10%  of  their  Adjusted
Capital Contribution, as defined, and, provided further, that  in
no  event will the General Partners receive less than 1% of  such
Net  Cash Flow per annum. Distributions to Limited Partners  will
be made pro rata by Units.

        Any  Net Proceeds of Sale, as defined, from the  sale  or
financing  of  the  Partnership's properties  which  the  General
Partners determine to distribute will, after provisions for debts
and reserves, be paid in the following manner:  (i) first, 99% to
the  Limited  Partners and l% to the General Partners  until  the
Limited  Partners receive an amount equal to: (a) their  Adjusted
Capital  Contribution plus (b) an amount equal  to  6%  of  their
Adjusted  Capital  Contribution per  annum,  cumulative  but  not
compounded,  to  the extent not previously distributed  from  Net
Cash  Flow; (ii) next, 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to  the
General  Partners  until the Limited Partners receive  an  amount
equal  to  14% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution per  annum,
cumulative  but  not  compounded, to the  extent  not  previously
distributed; (iii) next, to the General Partners until cumulative
distributions to the General Partners under Items (ii) and  (iii)
equal 15% of cumulative distributions to all Partners under Items
(ii) and (iii).  Any remaining balance will be distributed 85% to
the   Limited   Partners  and  15%  to  the   General   Partners.
Distributions to the Limited Partners will be made  pro  rata  by
Units.

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. (Continued)

        For  tax  purposes, profits from operations,  other  than
profits   attributable   to   the  sale,   exchange,   financing,
refinancing  or other disposition of the Partnership's  property,
will  be allocated first in the same ratio in which, and  to  the
extent,  Net  Cash Flow is distributed to the Partners  for  such
year.   Any  additional  profits will be  allocated  90%  to  the
Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners. In the event no
Net Cash Flow is distributed to the Limited Partners, 90% of each
item  of  Partnership income, gain or credit for each  respective
year  shall be allocated to the Limited Partners, and 10% of each
such item shall be allocated to the General Partners.  Net losses
from operations will be allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and
2% to the General Partners.

         For   tax  purposes,  profits  arising  from  the  sale,
financing,  or  other  disposition of the Partnership's  property
will be allocated in accordance with the Partnership Agreement as
follows:  (i) first, to those partners with deficit  balances  in
their  capital  accounts in an amount equal to the  sum  of  such
deficit balances; (ii) second, 99% to the Limited Partners and 1%
to  the  General  Partners  until the aggregate  balance  in  the
Limited  Partners' capital accounts equals the sum of the Limited
Partners' Adjusted Capital Contributions plus an amount equal  to
14% of their Adjusted Capital Contributions per annum, cumulative
but not compounded, to the extent not previously allocated; (iii)
third,  to  the General Partners until cumulative allocations  to
the  General  Partners equal 15% of cumulative allocations.   Any
remaining  balance will be allocated 85% to the Limited  Partners
and 15% to the General Partners.  Losses will be allocated 98% to
the Limited Partners and 2% to the General Partners.

        The  registrant is a minor factor in the commercial  real
estate  business.   There are numerous entities  engaged  in  the
commercial  real  estate  business which have  greater  financial
resources than the registrant.

        The  registrant  has  no  direct  employees.   Management
services are performed for the registrant by an affiliate of AFM.

ITEM 2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES.

         In   December,   1986,  the  Partnership   acquired   an
office/warehouse  building  located in  Kearney,  Nebraska.   The
property  was  acquired  for $434,623 and  was  leased  to  Myron
Andersen  Construction under a non-cancelable triple  net  master
Lease  Agreement with a primary term of 10 years.  Effective  May
1,  1992,  the  Partnership replaced the original tenant  in  the
office  building in Kearney, Nebraska, with a new tenant who,  in
March,  1993, filed for reorganization.  The Partnership obtained
possession  of the property and listed the property for  sale  or
lease.   The Partnership received rent of $975 per month  through
March,  1994  from  a  tenant who was  sub-leasing  part  of  the
building from the new tenant.  Since March, 1994, the Partnership
has received no rent from the property.  The office and warehouse
contain  20,282  square feet and are located on a  52,085  square
foot lot.


ITEM 2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES.  (Continued)

        On  June  3, 1987, the Partnership acquired an  Auto  Max
Muffler  Shop located in Bloomington, Minnesota.  Total  property
acquisition  costs were $838,749.  The Partnership purchased  the
land  and  building and leased it back to the seller,  Auto  Max,
Inc.,  under a 20-year non-cancelable triple-net Lease Agreement.
On  March 1, 1991, the Partnership replaced Auto Max, Inc. as the
lessee  with the franchisee who subleased the property from  Auto
Max, Inc.  The new Lease Agreement has a primary term of 15 years
with  annual rental payments of $110,400.  The automotive service
center  contains  7,440 square feet and is located  on  a  33,240
square foot lot.

        On  June  16,  1987, the Partnership acquired  a  Bonanza
restaurant  located in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.  The Partnership
purchased the land and building for $968,958 and leased  it  back
to  the seller, Get-Go Food, Inc., under a 20-year non-cancelable
triple-net Lease Agreement.  In March, 1992, the Partnership  re-
leased  the  property to DeLisi's Italian Restaurant and  Lounge,
Inc. under a 10-year Lease Agreement.  The annual rental payments
are $60,000 for the first two years and $72,000 for the remaining
eight years.  The property was remodeled by the new lessee and is
operated as an Italian restaurant.  The restaurant contains 7,248
square feet and is located on a 74,786 square foot lot.

        On  July 24, 1987, the Partnership purchased an Auto  Max
Muffler  Shop located in Coon Rapids, Minnesota.  Total  property
acquisition costs were $795,818.  The property was leased back to
the seller, Auto Max, Inc., under a 20-year non-cancelable triple-
net Lease Agreement.  In February, 1991, the Partnership replaced
Auto  Max,  Inc. as the lessee with an independent  operator  who
will  continue to operate the property as an Auto Max  automotive
center.   The new Lease Agreement has a primary term of  15-years
with  annual  rent of $48,000.  The Partnership  entered  into  a
second  Lease Agreement with a tenant who was subleasing part  of
the  property from Auto Max, Inc.  The second Lease expires April
30,  1997  with annual rental payments of approximately  $34,000.
The  automotive service center contains 7,186 square feet and  is
located on a 51,162 square foot lot.

       On August 21, 1987, the Partnership acquired an am/pm Mini
Market located in Carson City, Nevada.  The Partnership purchased
the  land and building and leased it back to the seller, B. Wells
O'Brien  &  Co., under a 20-year non-cancelable triple-net  Lease
Agreement.  Total property acquisition costs were $779,896.   The
annual  rental  payment is $99,947.  The property consists  of  a
48,711  square  foot  lot  which contains  a  2,498  square  foot
convenience store and eight gasoline dispensing stations.

         On  February  1,  1988,  the  Partnership  purchased  an
Applebee's  restaurant  located  in  Fort  Myers,  Florida,   for
$1,179,405.  The property is leased to Apple South, Inc. under  a
20-year triple-net Lease Agreement.  The annual rental payment is
$149,085.   The  restaurant contains 3,267  square  feet  and  is
located on a 58,472 square foot lot.

       In March, 1995, the lessee of the Applebee's restaurant in
Fort  Myers, Florida, exercised an option in the Lease  Agreement
to   purchase   the  property.   The  purchase  price   will   be
approximately  $1,660,000, which will result in  a  net  gain  of
approximately $690,000.


ITEM 2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES. (Continued)

        On  June 7, 1990, the Partnership acquired a 20% interest
in  a  Cheddar's restaurant in Columbus, Ohio.  The property  was
leased  back to the seller under a 20-year non-cancelable  triple
net  Lease  Agreement with an annual rental payment  of  $40,147.
Total  property acquisition costs were $306,711.  The  restaurant
contains 7,320 square feet and is located on a 68,000 square foot
lot.

        On  August 24, 1990, the Partnership acquired  a  6.7522%
interest  in  a  Sizzler  restaurant in  Springboro,  Ohio.   The
property  was  leased  back to the seller under  a  20-year  non-
cancelable  triple  net  Lease Agreement with  an  annual  rental
payment  of  $11,139.   Total  property  acquisition  costs  were
$89,097.   The  restaurant  contains 6,970  square  feet  and  is
located  on a 62,497 square foot lot.  The remaining interest  in
these  properties  was  acquired by AEI Real  Estate  Fund  XVIII
Limited Partnership, an affiliate of the Partnership.

        In  November, 1992, after reviewing the operating results
of  the  lessee,  the  Partnership  agreed  to  amend  the  Lease
Agreement  of the Sizzler restaurant.  As of November, 1993,  the
lessee  was in default under the amended Lease Agreement.   After
reviewing   the  lessee's  operating  results,  the   Partnership
determined  that  the  lessee would  be  unable  to  operate  the
restaurants  in  a manner capable of maximizing the  restaurant's
sales.   Consequently,  at the direction of  the  Partnership,  a
multi-unit   restaurant  operator  assumed  operation   of   this
restaurant while the Partnership reviewed the available  options.
In  June, 1994, the Partnership closed the restaurant and  listed
it for sale or lease.  While the property is being re-leased, the
Partnership  is responsible for the real estate taxes  and  other
costs required to maintain the property.

        On  March  10, 1987, the Partnership acquired  a  Perkins
restaurant   located  in  Kearney,  Nebraska.   The   Partnership
purchased the land and building for $936,064.  On April 22, 1991,
the Partnership sold the property and received net sales proceeds
of  $980,993 which resulted in a net gain of $188,579.  A portion
of  the  net  proceeds was used to acquire  an  interest  in  one
additional property.

        On  July  31, 1991, the Partnership acquired  a  61.7638%
interest  in  a  Taco Cabana restaurant in Houston,  Texas.   The
property  was  leased  back to the seller under  a  15-year  non-
cancelable  triple  net  Lease Agreement with  a  current  annual
rental  payment  of  $115,984.  Total property acquisition  costs
were  $859,159.   The  restaurant  contains  approximately  2,700
square  feet  and is located on a 47,474 square  foot  lot.   The
remaining interest in this property was acquired by AEI Net Lease
Income & Growth Fund XIX Limited Partnership, an affiliate of the
Partnership.

         For   the   properties  owned  jointly  with  affiliated
Partnerships,   each  Partnership  owns  a  separate,   undivided
interest  in the properties.  No specific agreement or commitment
exists  between  the Partnerships as to the management  of  their
respective  interests in the property, and the  Partnership  that
holds  more  than a 50% interest does not control decisions  over
the other Partnership's interest.

       All the properties were acquired on a debt-free basis with
cash  from  subscription  proceeds.   The  Partnership  holds  an
undivided  fee simple interest in the properties.  The properties
are  leased  to  the  tenants through non-cancelable  triple  net
leases, which are classified as operating leases.  Under a triple
net  lease, the lessee is responsible for all real estate  taxes,
insurance,  maintenance, repairs and operating  expenses  of  the
property.   Pursuant  to the Lease Agreements,  the  tenants  are
required to provide proof of adequate insurance coverage  on  the
properties  they  occupy.   The  General  Partners  believe   the
properties are adequately covered by insurance.

ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND
          RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.

        As of December 31, 1994, there were 957 holders of record
of the registrant's Limited Partnership Units.  There is no other
class  of  security outstanding or authorized.  The  registrant's
Units  are  not  a traded security in any market.   However,  the
Partnership  may  purchase Units from Limited Partners  who  have
tendered  their  Units to the Partnership.   Such  Units  may  be
acquired  at  a  discount.  The Partnership is not  obligated  to
purchase  in any year more than 5% of the total number  of  Units
outstanding  at  the  beginning of the  year  and  in  no  event,
obligated  to  purchase Units if such purchase would  impair  the
capital or operation of the Partnership.

        During 1994, three Limited Partners redeemed a total of 9
Partnership  Units for $6,282 in accordance with the  Partnership
Agreement.   In  prior  years,  a  total  of  twenty-six  Limited
Partners  redeemed  215  Partnership  Units  for  $170,765.   The
redemptions  increase the remaining Limited  Partners'  ownership
interest in the Partnership.

        Cash distributions of $5,745 and $5,296 were made to  the
General  Partners  and $562,502 and $505,622  were  made  to  the
Limited   Partners   in   1994  and  1993,   respectively.    The
distributions  were made on a quarterly basis and  represent  Net
Cash   Flow,  as  defined,  except  as  discussed  below.   These
distributions  should  not be compared  with  dividends  paid  on
capital stock by corporations.


ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.

Results of Operations

       The Partnership's rental income is derived from long-term,
triple net lease agreements on the Partnership's properties.  For
the  years  ended  December 31, 1994 and  1993,  the  Partnership
recognized  rental income of $688,888 and $682,544, respectively.
The  increase  in  rental  income resulted  from  scheduled  rent
increases   of   $15,823  for  the  Taco  Cabana   and   Delisi's
restaurants.  In addition, the Partnership's percentage rent from
the  Applebee's restaurant and am/pm convenience store  increased
$2,760.  These increases were partially offset by a reduction  in
rental income from the office building property.

        Effective  May  1,  1992,  the Partnership  replaced  the
original tenant in the office building in Kearney, Nebraska, with
a  new tenant who, in March, 1993, filed for reorganization.  The
Partnership  obtained possession of the property and  listed  the
property  for  sale or lease.  The Partnership received  rent  of
$975  per  month through March, 1994, from a tenant who was  sub-
leasing  part of the building from the new tenant.   Since  March
1994,  the  Partnership has received no rent from  the  property.
The  total  amount  of rent not collected in 1994  and  1993  was
$59,081  and  $49,160,  respectively.   These  amounts  were  not
accrued for financial reporting purposes.

        During  the years ended December 31, 1994 and  1993,  the
Partnership  incurred Partnership administration  and  management
expenses   from  unrelated  parties  of  $71,029   and   $65,251,
respectively. These expenses represent direct payments  to  third
parties  for legal and filing fees, direct administrative  costs,
outside  audit and accounting costs, taxes, insurance  and  other
property  costs.   During  the same periods,  administration  and
management expenses paid to affiliated parties were $125,257  and
$123,728, respectively.  The Partnership administration  expenses
incurred  from  affiliates  include  costs  associated  with  the
management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting
requirements and correspondence to the Limited Partners.

       As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership's annualized cash
distribution  rate  was  7.66%, based  on  the  Adjusted  Capital
Contribution.   Distributions of Net Cash  Flow  to  the  General
Partners were subordinated to the Limited Partners as required in
the Partnership Agreement.  As a result, 99% of distributions and
income  were allocated to Limited Partners and 1% to the  General
Partners.

        Inflation  has  had  a  minimal  effect  on  income  from
operations.   It is expected that increases in sales  volumes  of
the  tenants, due to inflation and real sales growth, will result
in  an  increase  in rental income over the term of  the  leases.
Inflation  also  may  cause  the  Partnership's  real  estate  to
appreciate in value.  However, inflation and changing prices  may
also  have  an  adverse impact on the operating  margins  of  the
properties' tenants which could impair their ability to pay  rent
and subsequently reduce the Partnership's Net Cash Flow available
for distributions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        The  Partnership's cash balances decreased  $10,357  from
December  31,  1993  to  December 31, 1994,  as  the  Partnership
distributed  slightly more cash to investors  than  it  generated
from  operating and financing activities.  Net cash  provided  by
operating activities increased from $479,866 in 1993 to  $501,743
in  1994.   Net cash income before depreciation was approximately
the  same  in  both years.  The increase in net cash provided  by
operating  activities was due to net timing  differences  in  the
collection  of  payments from the lessees  of  the  Partnership's
properties.


ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.  (Continued)

       The Partnership's primary use of cash flow is distribution
and  redemption  payments to Partners.  The Partnership  declares
its  regular  quarterly  distributions before  the  end  of  each
quarter and pays the distribution in the first week after the end
of  each quarter.  The Partnership attempts to maintain a  stable
distribution  rate from quarter to quarter.  Redemption  payments
are  paid  to  redeeming Partners in the fourth quarter  of  each
year.   The  redemption payments generally are funded  with  cash
that  would  normally  be paid as part of the  regular  quarterly
distributions.   As a result, distributions have fluctuated  from
year  to year due to cash used to fund redemption payments.  This
is  the reason why distributions to Partners were higher in  1994
when compared to 1993.

        In  January, 1994, the Partnership established a $100,000
unsecured  line  of credit at Fidelity Bank of Edina,  Minnesota.
On  January 5, 1995 the line of credit was increased to $150,000.
Since  cash receipts and expenses fluctuate, the line  of  credit
was  established  to  assist in maintaining  a  stable  quarterly
distribution  rate.   The line of credit bears  interest  at  the
prime  rate (8.5% on December 31, 1994) plus one percent  on  the
outstanding balance, which is due on demand, but in any event  no
later than January 5, 1996. As of December 31, 1994, $35,000  was
due  on the line of credit.  Total interest expense for 1994  was
$2,553.

       In March, 1995, the lessee of the Applebee's restaurant in
Fort  Myers, Florida, exercised an option in the Lease  Agreement
to   purchase   the  property.   The  purchase  price   will   be
approximately  $1,660,000, which will result in  a  net  gain  of
approximately $690,000.  The majority of the Partnership's  other
Lease  Agreements  contain  options that  allow  the  lessees  to
purchase  the  property.  Depending on the Lease  Agreement,  the
purchase  price  is  either determined by a formula,  or  is  the
greater  of  the fair market value of the property or the  amount
determined by a formula.  In all cases, if the option were to  be
exercised by the lessee, the purchase price would be greater than
the original cost of the property.

       The continuing rent payments from the properties, together
with  cash generated from this sale, should be more than adequate
to fund continuing distributions, repay advances under the credit
line  and meet other Partnership obligations on both a short-term
and long-term basis.

        The  Partnership may purchase Units from Limited Partners
who have tendered their Units to the Partnership.  Such Units may
be  acquired at a discount.  The Partnership is not obligated  to
purchase  in any year more than 5% of the total number  of  Units
outstanding  at  the  beginning of the  year  and  in  no  event,
obligated  to  purchase Units if such purchase would  impair  the
capital or operation of the Partnership.

        During 1994, three Limited Partners redeemed a total of 9
Partnership  Units for $6,282 in accordance with the  Partnership
Agreement.  The Partnership acquired these Units using  Net  Cash
Flow  from  operations.  In prior years, a  total  of  twenty-six
Limited  Partners  redeemed 215 Partnership Units  for  $170,765.
The   redemptions   increase  the  remaining  Limited   Partners'
ownership interest in the Partnership.

                  INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT





To the Partners:
AEI Real Estate Fund 86-A Limited Partnership
St. Paul, Minnesota



      We  have audited the accompanying balance sheet of AEI REAL
ESTATE   FUND  86-A  LIMITED  PARTNERSHIP  (a  Delaware   limited
partnership)  as  of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and  the  related
statements of income, cash flows and changes in partners' capital
for  the  years then ended.  These financial statements  are  the
responsibility    of   the   Partnership's    management.     Our
responsibility  is  to  express an  opinion  on  these  financial
statements based on our audits.

      We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally
accepted  auditing standards.  Those standards  require  that  we
plan  and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance  about
whether   the   financial  statements  are   free   of   material
misstatement.   An  audit includes examining, on  a  test  basis,
evidence  supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.   An  audit  also includes assessing  the  accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management,  as
well  as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We  believe  that our audits provide a reasonable basis  for  our
opinion.

      In  our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present  fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of  AEI  Real Estate Fund 86-A Limited Partnership as of December
31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows  for  the  years then ended, in conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

(1)  Organization -
     
     AEI  Real Estate Fund 86-A Limited Partnership (Partnership)
     was  formed  to  acquire and lease commercial properties  to
     operating tenants.  The Partnership's operations are managed
     by  AEI  Fund  Management  86-A, Inc.  (AFM),  the  Managing
     General Partner of the Partnership.  Robert P. Johnson,  the
     President  and  sole  shareholder  of  AFM,  serves  as  the
     Individual General Partner of the Partnership.  An affiliate
     of  AFM,  AEI  Fund  Management, Inc.  (AEI),  performs  the
     administrative and operating functions for the Partnership.
     
     The   terms   of  the  Partnership  offering  call   for   a
     subscription  price of $1,000 per Limited Partnership  Unit,
     payable   on  acceptance  of  the  offer.   The  Partnership
     commenced   operations  on  April  2,  1986   when   minimum
     subscriptions    of   1,300   Limited   Partnership    Units
     ($1,300,000)  were  accepted.   The  Partnership's  offering
     terminated  on  July  9, 1986 when the maximum  subscription
     limit  of  7,500 Limited Partnership Units ($7,500,000)  was
     reached.
     
     Under  the  terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement,  the
     Limited  Partners and General Partners contributed funds  of
     $7,500,000  and $1,000, respectively.  During the  operation
     of the Partnership, any Net Cash Flow, as defined, which the
     General Partners determine to distribute will be distributed
     90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners;
     provided,  however, that such distributions to  the  General
     Partners will be subordinated to the Limited Partners  first
     receiving an annual, noncumulative distribution of Net  Cash
     Flow equal to 10% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution, as
     defined,  and, provided further, that in no event  will  the
     General Partners receive less than 1% of such Net Cash  Flow
     per  annum. Distributions to Limited Partners will  be  made
     pro rata by Units.
     
     Any  Net  Proceeds  of Sale, as defined, from  the  sale  or
     financing of the Partnership's properties which the  General
     Partners determine to distribute will, after provisions  for
     debts  and  reserves, be paid in the following manner:   (i)
     first,  99%  to the Limited Partners and l% to  the  General
     Partners until the Limited Partners receive an amount  equal
     to:  (a)  their Adjusted Capital Contribution  plus  (b)  an
     amount  equal  to 6% of their Adjusted Capital  Contribution
     per  annum, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not
     previously distributed from Net Cash Flow; (ii) next, 99% to
     the  Limited  Partners and 1% to the General Partners  until
     the Limited Partners receive an amount equal to 14% of their
     Adjusted Capital Contribution per annum, cumulative but  not
     compounded, to the extent not previously distributed;  (iii)
     next, to the General Partners until cumulative distributions
     to the General Partners under Items (ii) and (iii) equal 15%
     of cumulative distributions to all Partners under Items (ii)
     and (iii).  Any remaining balance will be distributed 85% to
     the  Limited  Partners  and  15% to  the  General  Partners.
     Distributions to the Limited Partners will be made pro  rata
     by Units.

     For  tax  purposes,  profits  from  operations,  other  than
     profits  attributable  to  the  sale,  exchange,  financing,
     refinancing   or  other  disposition  of  the  Partnership's
     property,  will  be  allocated first in the  same  ratio  in
     which,  and  to the extent, Net Cash Flow is distributed  to
     the Partners for such year.  Any additional profits will  be
     allocated 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General
     Partners.  In  the event no Net Cash Flow is distributed  to
     the  Limited  Partners,  90% of  each  item  of  Partnership
     income,  gain  or credit for each respective year  shall  be
     allocated to the Limited Partners, and 10% of each such item
     shall be allocated to the General Partners.  Net losses from
     operations will be allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and
     2% to the General Partners.
     
     For  tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing,
     or  other disposition of the Partnership's property will  be
     allocated  in  accordance with the Partnership Agreement  as
     follows:  (i) first, to those partners with deficit balances
     in  their capital accounts in an amount equal to the sum  of
     such  deficit  balances; (ii) second,  99%  to  the  Limited
     Partners  and 1% to the General Partners until the aggregate
     balance in the Limited Partners' capital accounts equals the
     sum  of the Limited Partners' Adjusted Capital Contributions
     plus  an  amount  equal  to 14% of  their  Adjusted  Capital
     Contributions  per annum, cumulative but not compounded,  to
     the  extent  not previously allocated; (iii) third,  to  the
     General Partners until cumulative allocations to the General
     Partners equal 15% of cumulative allocations.  Any remaining
     balance  will  be allocated 85% to the Limited Partners  and
     15%  to the General Partners.  Losses will be allocated  98%
     to the Limited Partners and 2% to the General Partners.
     
     The  General Partners are not required to currently  fund  a
     deficit   capital   balance.   Upon   liquidation   of   the
     Partnership or withdrawal by a General Partner, the  General
     Partners will contribute to the Partnership an amount  equal
     to  the  lesser  of  the deficit balances in  their  capital
     accounts  or  1%  of  total Limited  Partners'  and  General
     Partners' capital contributions.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)

     Income Taxes

       The  income or loss of the Partnership for federal  income
       tax  reporting  purposes is includable in the  income  tax
       returns of the partners.  Accordingly, no recognition  has
       been  given to income taxes in the accompanying  financial
       statements.
       
       The  tax  return, the qualification of the Partnership  as
       such  for  tax  purposes, and the amount of  distributable
       Partnership  income or loss are subject to examination  by
       federal   and  state  taxing  authorities.   If  such   an
       examination  results  in  changes  with  respect  to   the
       Partnership  qualification or in changes to  distributable
       Partnership  income  or loss, the taxable  income  of  the
       partners would be adjusted accordingly.
              
     Real Estate

       The  Partnership's real estate is leased  under  long-term
       triple  net  leases classified as operating  leases.   The
       Partnership  recognizes  rental  revenue  on  the  accrual
       basis  according  to  the terms of the individual  leases.
       For  leases  which contain cost of living  increases,  the
       increases  are  recognized in the year in which  they  are
       effective.
       
       Real  estate  is  recorded at the lower  of  cost  or  net
       realizable  value.   The  Financial  Accounting  Standards
       Board  has issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting  for  the
       Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived  Assets
       to   be   Disposed   Of"  which  is  effective   for   the
       Partnership's  fiscal year ended December 31,  1996.   The
       Partnership  regularly reviews the carrying value  of  its
       properties  and  will  reduce  properties  to  their   net
       realizable value as needed.  Adoption of Statement 121  is
       not   expected   to  have  a  material   effect   on   the
       Partnership's operations.
       
       The  Partnership  has capitalized as Investments  in  Real
       Estate   certain   costs  incurred  in  the   review   and
       acquisition  of the properties.  The costs were  allocated
       to the land, buildings and equipment.
       
       The   buildings  and  equipment  of  the  Partnership  are
       depreciated  using the straight-line method for  financial
       reporting purposes based on estimated useful lives  of  30
       years and 10 years respectively.

(4)  Investments in Real Estate -

     The  Partnership  leases its properties to  various  tenants
     through   non-cancelable  triple  net  leases,   which   are
     classified  as operating leases.  Under a triple net  lease,
     the  lessee  is  responsible  for  all  real  estate  taxes,
     insurance,  maintenance, repairs and operating  expenses  of
     the  property.   The initial Lease terms are  for  20  years
     except for the Taco Cabana and Auto Max properties which are
     15  years.  The Leases have renewal options which may extend
     the  lease term an additional 10 years.  The Leases  contain
     rent  clauses  which  entitle  the  Partnership  to  receive
     additional  rent  in  future  years  based  on  stated  rent
     increases  or  if  gross receipts for  the  property  exceed
     certain specified amounts, among other conditions.
     
     The  Partnership's  properties are all  commercial,  single-
     tenant  properties with the exception of the Kearney  Office
     Building.   The  Kearney office building and warehouse  were
     constructed  in 1978 and 1981, respectively.   The  building
     was  remodeled  in  1986.  The Applebee's was  completed  in
     1988.    The   Cheddar's   and  Sizzler   restaurants   were
     constructed   and  acquired  in  1990.   The   Taco   Cabana
     restaurant  was constructed and acquired in 1991.   All  the
     remaining  buildings were constructed in 1987.  The  Kearney
     office building was acquired in 1986 and the Applebee's  was
     acquired  in  1988.   All  the  remaining  properties   were
     acquired  during 1987.  There have been no costs capitalized
     as improvements subsequent to the acquisitions.
     
     The   cost   of   the  properties  and  related  accumulated
     depreciation at December 31, 1994 are as follows:

(4)  Investments in Real Estate - (Continued)
     
     Effective May 1, 1992, the Partnership replaced the original
     tenant  in the office building in Kearney, Nebraska, with  a
     new  tenant  who,  in March, 1993, filed for reorganization.
     The  Partnership  obtained possession of  the  property  and
     listed  the  property  for sale or lease.   The  Partnership
     received rent of $975 per month through March, 1994, from  a
     tenant,  who was sub-leasing part of the building  from  the
     new  tenant.  The total amount of rent not collected in 1994
     and  1993  was  $59,081  and $49,160,  respectively.   These
     amounts were not accrued for financial reporting purposes.
     
     In  March, 1995, the lessee of the Applebee's restaurant  in
     Fort  Myers,  Florida,  exercised an  option  in  the  Lease
     Agreement to purchase the property.  The purchase price will
     be approximately $1,660,000, which will result in a net gain
     of approximately $690,000.
     
     The  minimum future rentals on the non-cancelable Leases for
     years subsequent to December 31, 1994 are as follows:
     
                       1995            $ 670,440

     In  1994  and  1993,  the Partnership recognized  contingent
     rents of $18,581 and $18,142, respectively.

(5)  Security Deposit -

     In  April, 1992, the Partnership received a deposit from the
     tenant  of  the DeLisi's Italian Restaurant as security  for
     future  rent payments.  The funds are invested  in  a  short
     term money market account and will be refunded at the end of
     the Lease, without interest, to the tenant provided there is
     no default in the Lease Agreement.

(6)  Line of Credit -

     In  January,  1994, the Partnership established  a  $100,000
     unsecured  line  of  credit  at  Fidelity  Bank  of   Edina,
     Minnesota.   On  January  5, 1995 the  line  of  credit  was
     increased to $150,000.  The line of credit bears interest at
     the  prime rate (8.5% on December 31, 1994) plus one percent
     on  the outstanding balance, which is due on demand, but  in

(8)  Partners' Capital - (Continued)
     
     Distributions  of  Net  Cash Flow to  the  General  Partners
     during  1994  and  1993  were subordinated  to  the  Limited
     Partners  as  required in the Partnership Agreement.   As  a
     result,  99%  of distributions and income were allocated  to
     the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners.
     
     The  Partnership may acquire Units from Limited Partners who
     have  tendered their Units to the Partnership.   Such  Units
     may  be  acquired  at  a discount.  The Partnership  is  not
     obligated to purchase in any year more than 5% of the  total
     number of Units outstanding at the beginning of the year and
     in  no  event, obligated to purchase Units if such  purchase
     would impair the capital or operation of the Partnership.
     
     During 1994, three  Limited Partners redeemed a total  of  9
     Partnership  Units  for  $6,282  in  accordance   with   the
     Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership acquired these Units
     using  Net Cash Flow from operations.  In 1993, six  Limited
     Partners  redeemed  a  total of  26  Partnership  Units  for
     $18,693.   The  redemptions increase the  remaining  Limited
     Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership.
     
     After  the  effect of redemptions and the return of  capital
     from   the   sale   of   property,  the   Adjusted   Capital
     Contribution,  as defined in the Partnership  Agreement,  is
     $1,009.55 per original $1,000 invested.
