                                    IMPORTANT

     AIMCO Properties,  L.P., a Delaware limited  partnership (the "Purchaser"),
is  offering  to  purchase  up to 305,500  of the  outstanding  depositary  unit
certificates  representing assignments of limited partnership interest ("Units")
in  U.S.  Realty  Partners  Limited   Partnership,   a  South  Carolina  limited
partnership  (the  "Partnership"),  at a  purchase  price of $5.50 per Unit (the
"Purchase Price"),  net to the seller in cash, without interest,  upon the terms
and subject to the  conditions  set forth in this Offer to  Purchase  and in the
related  Letter  of  Transmittal  (which,   together  with  any  supplements  or
amendments,  collectively constitute the "Offer"). The Purchase Price is subject
to adjustment under certain circumstances, as described herein. Holders of Units
(each, a "Limited Partner") who tender their Units in response to the Offer will
not be  obligated to pay any  commissions  or  partnership  transfer  fees.  The
Purchaser is an affiliate of U.S.  Realty I Corporation,  which is the corporate
general partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner").

     Limited Partners are urged to consider the following factors:

     o    The  Purchaser  and the  General  Partner are both  affiliates  of and
          controlled by Apartment  Investment and Management Company, a Maryland
          real estate investment trust ("AIMCO").

     o    Although not  necessarily  indicative of value,  the Purchase Price is
          (i) $.50 per Unit  greater  than the  purchase  price  being paid in a
          competing  offer  made on March 25,  1999 (the "Cal Kan  Offer") by MP
          Value Fund 4, L.P., MP Value Fund 6, LLC, MacKenzie  Patterson Special
          Fund,  LLC,  MacKenzie   Patterson  Special  Fund  3,  LLC,  MacKenzie
          Patterson  Special Fund 4, LLC and Cal Kan, Inc.  (collectively,  "Cal
          Kan"),  (ii) $1.50 per Unit greater than the purchase price being paid
          in a  competing  offer  made on or about  April 6, 1999 (the  "Everest
          Offer") by Everest  Investors 12, LLC  ("Everest") and (iii) $3.40 per
          Unit greater the purchase  price being paid in a competing  offer made
          on March 22, 1999 (the "Madison Offer") by Madison Liquidity Investors
          104, LLC  ("Madison").  In  addition,  with respect to the Madison and
          Everest  Offers,  the purchase price is reduced by the $75.00 transfer
          fee charged by the Partnership. Accordingly, the actual purchase price
          for the Madison and Everest Offers is significantly reduced.

     o    The net liquidation value per Unit (the "Estimated Liquidation Value")
          estimated  by the  Purchaser  (which is an  affiliate  of the  General
          Partner) in connection with the Offer is $5.50. The Purchaser does not
          believe,  however,  that  either the net asset  value  estimate by the
          General  Partner's  affiliate  or  the  Estimated   Liquidation  Value
          represents a fair  estimate of the market  value of a Unit,  primarily
          due to the fact that such  estimates do not take into  account  timing
          considerations, market uncertainties and legal and other expenses that
          would be incurred in connection with a liquidation of the Partnership.
          See Section 13. Accordingly,  the Purchaser does not believe that such
          estimates should be viewed as  representative  of the amount a Limited
          Partner can realistically  expect to obtain on a sale of a Unit or the
          assets of the Partnership in the near term.


                                        i
<PAGE>


     o    The Purchaser will have the right to vote all Units acquired  pursuant
          to the  Offer.  In this  regard,  please  be  advised  that  AIMCO has
          acquired in the last 60 days a total of 243,831  Units  (19.95% of the
          total  Units  outstanding)  for  purchase  prices of $5.50 and  $5.75.
          Accordingly,  even if the Purchaser  acquires a lesser number of Units
          pursuant to the Offer,  because AIMCO,  an affiliate of the Purchaser,
          already  owns  approximately  19.95%  of  the  outstanding  Units  the
          Purchaser and its affiliates will be able to  significantly  influence
          the outcome of all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership.

     o    The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) is making
          the  Offer  with a view to making a  profit.  Accordingly,  there is a
          conflict between the desire of the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of
          the General  Partner) to purchase  Units at a low price and the desire
          of the  Limited  Partners  to sell  their  Units at a high  price.  No
          independent person has been retained to evaluate or render any opinion
          with respect to the fairness of the Offer,  and no  representation  is
          made by the Purchaser or any of its affiliates as to such fairness.

To the Limited Partners of
U.S. Realty Partners Limited Partnership


                                  INTRODUCTION

     AIMCO  Properties,  L.P.  (the  "Purchaser"),  which is a Delaware  limited
partnership and an affiliate of the General  Partner (as defined below),  hereby
offers to purchase up to 305,500 of the outstanding depositary unit certificates
representing  assignments of limited  partnership  interest  ("Units"),  in U.S.
Realty Partners Limited  Partnership,  a South Carolina limited partnership (the
"Partnership"),  at a purchase price of $5.50 per Unit (the  "Purchase  Price"),
net to the seller in cash,  without interest,  upon the terms and subject to the
conditions  set forth in this Offer to  Purchase  and in the  related  Letter of
Transmittal  (which,  together with any supplements or amendments,  collectively
constitute the "Offer").  The Offer is not conditioned on any aggregate  minimum
number of Units being  tendered.  The 305,500 Units sought pursuant to the Offer
represent 25% of the total Units  outstanding,  A Limited Partner may tender any
or all of the Units owned by that Limited  Partner.  Tenders of fractional Units
will not be permitted  except by a Limited  Partner who is tendering  all of the
Units owned by that Limited Partner. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the
General  Partner)  will pay all charges and  expenses of River Oaks  Partnership
Services,  Inc.,  who  will  serve  as the  Purchaser's  information  agent  and
depositary for the Offer (the "Information Agent").

     The  Purchaser;  Affiliation  with  the  General  Partner.  U.S.  Realty  I
Corporation,  which is the corporate  general  partner of the  Partnership  (the
"General Partner"), is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Apartment Investment
and Management  Company, a publicly traded Maryland real estate investment trust
("AIMCO"). AIMCO is the sole shareholder of the Purchaser's general partner and,
at December 31, 1998,  held an 83%  partnership  interest in the  Purchaser.  By
reason of these relationships,  the General Partner has conflicts of interest in
considering the Offer.  The Partnership has indicated in a Statement on Schedule
14D-9 (the "Schedule  14D-9") filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission
(the  "Commission") that it is remaining neutral and making no recommendation as
to whether Limited  Partners should tender their Units in response to the Offer.
The  Partnership  states,  however,  that if a Limited Partner desires to obtain
cash for its Units  presently,  it believes that those Limited  Partners  should
tender their Units for the greatest  purchase price.  Limited Partners are urged
to read this Offer to Purchase and the related  materials and the Schedule 14D-9
carefully and in their entirety before  deciding  whether to tender their Units.
See Sections 10 and 13.

     Some Factors to Be  Considered  by Limited  Partners.  In  considering  the
Offer, Limited Partners may wish to consider the following factors:

     Potential Adverse Aspects of the Offer for Limited Partners

     o    The Purchaser and the General Partner are affiliates of and controlled
          by AIMCO. See Sections 11 and 13. The General Partner has conflicts of
          interest in  considering  the Offer,  including (i) as a result of the
          fact that a sale or  liquidation  of the  Partnership's  assets  would
          result in a decrease  or  elimination  of the fees paid to the General
          Partner  and/or its affiliates and (ii) the fact that as a consequence
          of the  Purchaser's  ownership of Units,  the  Purchaser  (which is an
          affiliate  of the  General  Partner)  may have  incentives  to seek to
          maximize the value of its ownership of Units, which in turn may result
          in a conflict for the General  Partner in  attempting to reconcile the
          interests  of the  Purchaser  (which is an  affiliate  of the  General
          Partner) with the interests of the other Limited Partners. See Section
          10.

     o    The net liquidation value per Unit (the "Estimated Liquidation Value")
          estimated  by the  Purchaser  (which is an  affiliate  of the  General
          Partner) in connection  with the Offer is $5.50.  See Section 13 for a
          discussion of why the Purchaser  (which is an affiliate of the General
          Partner)  believes that such estimates are not necessarily  indicative
          of the  fair  market  value  of a Unit.  The  Purchaser  (which  is an
          affiliate  of  the  General  Partner)  makes  no  representation   and
          expresses  no opinion as to the  fairness or adequacy of the  Purchase
          Price.



<PAGE>


     o    As with any rational investment  decision,  the Purchaser (which is an
          affiliate  of the General  Partner) is making the Offer with a view to
          making a profit.  Accordingly,  there is a conflict between the desire
          of the  Purchaser  (which is an affiliate  of the General  Partner) to
          purchase  Units at a low price and the desire of the Limited  Partners
          to sell their Units at a high price.  No  independent  person has been
          retained  to  evaluate  or render  any  opinion  with  respect  to the
          fairness of the Offer, and no  representation is made by the Purchaser
          or any of its affiliates as to such fairness.

     o    The Purchaser will have the right to vote all Units acquired  pursuant
          to the  Offer.  In this  regard,  please  be  advised  that  AIMCO (an
          affiliate of the  Purchaser)  has acquired in the last 60 days a total
          of 243,831 Units (19.95% of the total Units  outstanding) for purchase
          prices of $5.50 and $5.75. Accordingly, even if the Purchaser acquires
          a lesser number of Units pursuant to the Offer,  because AIMCO already
          owns approximately  19.95% of the outstanding Units it will be able to
          significantly  influence  the  outcome  of all voting  decisions  with
          respect to the Partnership.  This means that (i) non-tendering Limited
          Partners  could be prevented  from taking  action they desire but that
          AIMCO and the Purchaser  (which are affiliates of the General Partner)
          opposes and (ii) AIMCO and the Purchaser  (which are affiliates of the
          General  Partner) may be able to take action desired by it but opposed
          by the non-tendering Limited Partners.

     Potentially Beneficial Aspects of the Offer for Limited Partners

     o    Although not  necessarily  indicative of value,  the Purchase Price is
          (i) $.50 per Unit  greater  than the  purchase  price  being paid in a
          competing  offer  made on March 25,  1999 (the "Cal Kan  Offer") by MP
          Value Fund 4, L.P., MP Value Fund 6, LLC, MacKenzie  Patterson Special
          Fund,  LLC,  MacKenzie   Patterson  Special  Fund  3,  LLC,  MacKenzie
          Patterson  Special Fund 4, LLC and Cal Kan, Inc.  (collectively,  "Cal
          Kan"),  (ii) $1.50 per Unit greater than the purchase price being paid
          in a  competing  offer  made on or about  April 6, 1999 (the  "Everest
          Offer") by Everest  Investors 12, LLC  ("Everest") and (iii) $3.40 per
          Unit greater the purchase  price being paid in a competing  offer made
          on March 22, 1999 (the "Madison Offer") by Madison Liquidity Investors
          104, LLC  ("Madison").  In  addition,  with respect to the Madison and
          Everest  Offers,  the purchase price is reduced by the $75.00 transfer
          fee charged by the Partnership. Accordingly, the actual purchase price
          for the Madison and Everest Offers is significantly reduced.

     o    Although there are some limited resale mechanisms available to Limited
          Partners wishing to sell their Units, including the Cal Kan Offer, the
          Everest  Offer and the Madison  Offer  (collectively,  the  "Competing
          Offers"),  there is no formal  trading  market for Units.  At present,
          Limited Partners may seek to negotiate  private sales or sales through
          a  trading  system  such  as the  American  Partnership  Board,  which
          publishes  sell  offers  by  Limited  Partners  in  respect  of Units.
          Accordingly,  the Offer affords  Limited  Partners an  opportunity  to
          dispose of their Units for cash which otherwise might not be available
          to them.

     o    The Offer may be attractive to Limited  Partners who have an immediate
          need for cash.

     o    Limited  Partners  who sell  Units  pursuant  to the Offer will not be
          charged any sales commissions or partnership transfer fees.

     o    Real estate markets in the United States  generally have recovered and
          experienced an upward trend since the end of the last recession.  That
          recovery  and upward  trend might  continue.  On the other hand,  real
          estate markets also may be adversely affected by a variety of factors,
          including possible  fluctuations in interest rates, economic slowdowns
          and  overbuilding.  Accordingly,  ownership of Units continues to be a
          speculative  investment.  The Offer may provide Limited  Partners with
          the  opportunity to liquidate  their  interests in the Partnership and
          replace them with investments that are less speculative.


                                        2

     o    The Offer may be attractive  to Limited  Partners who wish to avoid in
          the future the expenses,  delays and  complications in filing personal
          income  tax  returns  which may be caused by  ownership  of Units.  In
          addition,  a Limited  Partner who sells 100% of its Units  pursuant to
          the Offer  will no longer be  subject  to the  passive  activity  loss
          limitation  with respect to "suspended"  losses  attributable to those
          Units and, therefore, will be able to utilize fully any such losses.

     o    The Offer may be attractive to those Limited  Partners who have become
          disenchanted with real estate investments generally, and in particular
          with the perceived  illiquidity  of investments  made through  limited
          partnerships, because it may afford an immediate opportunity for those
          Limited Partners to liquidate their investments in the Partnership. On
          the other hand, Limited Partners who tender their Units will be giving
          up the  opportunity to participate  in any potential  future  benefits
          represented by the ownership of those Units,  including,  for example,
          the  right  to  participate  in any  future  distributions  of cash or
          property,   whether  from  operations,  the  proceeds  of  a  sale  or
          refinancing  of one or  more  of the  Partnership's  properties  or in
          connection with any future  liquidation of the  Partnership.  Instead,
          any such  distributions  of cash or  property  with  respect  to Units
          tendered in the Offer and purchased by the  Purchaser  will be paid to
          the Purchaser.

     The  Purchaser  (which is an  affiliate  of the General  Partner)  makes no
recommendation  to any Limited  Partner as to whether to tender or refrain  from
tendering  Units and has been  advised by the General  Partner  that the General
Partner also expects to make no  recommendation.  Each Limited Partner must make
its own decision, based on the Limited Partner's particular circumstances, as to
whether to tender Units and, if so, how many Units to tender.  Limited  Partners
should consult with their  respective  advisors  regarding the  financial,  tax,
legal and other implications of accepting the Offer.  Limited Partners are urged
to read this Offer to Purchase and the related materials  carefully and in their
entirety before deciding whether to tender their Units.

     Reasons for and Effects of the Offer. The Purchaser's purpose in making the
Offer is to increase  its equity  interest  in the  Partnership,  primarily  for
investment  purposes and with a view to making a profit.  Although the number of
Units sought in the Offer will not give the Purchaser  (which is an affiliate of
the General Partner) absolute control over the Partnership,  if the Purchaser is
successful  in  acquiring  all  or a  substantial  portion  of the  Units  it is
tendering for, it will be in a position to exercise  significant  influence over
the outcome of any vote by Limited  Partners.  Even if the Purchaser  acquires a
lesser  number  of Units  pursuant  to the  Offer,  however,  because  AIMCO (an
affiliate of the Purchaser) already owns approximately 19.95% of the outstanding
Units it will be able to  significantly  influence  the  outcome  of all  voting
decisions with respect to the Partnership. See Sections 8, 10 and 13.

     Certain Tax  Considerations.  A sale by a Limited  Partner  pursuant to the
Offer will result in taxable gain (or loss) equal to the excess (deficit) of the
amount  realized by the Limited  Partner  for the Units sold over  (under)  such
Limited  Partner's  adjusted tax basis in those  Units,  which may be taxable as
ordinary  income  or  loss,  capital  gain  or loss or  gain  from  real  estate
depreciation recapture. If a Limited Partner has suspended "passive losses" from
the  Partnership or other passive  activity  investments,  such Limited  Partner
generally  may deduct these losses up to the amount of any gain from the sale. A
sale pursuant to the Offer of all of a Limited  Partner's  Units will  terminate
his or her investment in the Partnership and, commencing with the year following
the year of sale,  the Limited  Partner will no longer receive  Partnership  tax
information or have to report the complicated tax information currently required
of Limited Partners. See Section 6.

     General Policy Regarding Sales and Refinancings of Partnership  Properties;
Alternatives.  It is not known when the  Partnership's  properties  may be sold.
There may be no way to liquidate a Limited Partner's investment in a partnership
in the future until the properties  are sold and the  Partnership is liquidated.
In general, the General Partner regularly evaluates the Partnership's properties
by considering various factors, such as the Partnership's financial position and
real estate and capital markets  conditions.  The General Partner  monitors each
property's specific locale and sub-market  conditions evaluating current trends,
competition, new construction and economic changes. The General Partner oversees
each asset's  operating  performance  and  continuously  evaluates  the physical
improvement  requirements.   In  addition,  the  financing  structure  for  each
property, tax implications and the investment climate are all considered. Any of
these factors, and possibly others, could potentially contribute to any decision
by the General Partner to sell, refinance,  upgrade with capital improvements or
hold a particular Partnership property.  Under the Limited Partnership Agreement
the term of the Partnership will continue until December 31, 2005, unless sooner
terminated as provided in the Limited Partnership Agreement or by law.

     Withdrawal of Units Tendered  Pursuant to a Competing  Offer.  If a Limited
Partner who has tendered its Units pursuant to Competing  Offer wishes to tender
some or all of such Units to the Purchaser  pursuant to this Offer, such Limited
Partner must withdraw such Units by following  the  procedures  set forth below.
Those Limited Partners  desiring to withdraw their tender from the Cal Kan Offer
must do so in accordance  with the applicable  procedures set forth in Section 4
of the Cal Kan Offer and the related Letter of Transmittal. Limited Partners who
desire  assistance in  withdrawing  the Units  tendered  pursuant to a Competing
Offer may call the  Information  Agent at (201)  896-1900 or at (888)  349-2005.
With respect to withdrawal of Units, Section 4 of the Cal Kan Offer provides, in
relevant part:

          "For  withdrawal  to be  effective,  a written or  facsimile
          transmission notice of withdrawal must be timely received by
          the  Depositary at the address or the  facsimile  number set
          forth in the [Letter of Transmittal  attached to the Cal Kan
          Offer].  Any such notice of withdrawal must specify the name
          of the person who  tendered  the Units to be  withdrawn  and
          must be signed by the  person(s)  who  signed  the Letter of
          Transmittal  in the same manner as the Letter of Transmittal
          was signed."

     In connection with this Offer, for the convenience of Limited Partners, the
Purchaser  has  provided a form of "Notice of  Withdrawal"  which,  if  properly
completed and timely delivered to MacKenzie Patterson,  Inc., the depository for
the Cal Kan Offer,  will  enable a Limited  Partner to withdraw  Units  tendered
pursuant to the Cal Kan Offer.  The appropriate  form of "Notice of Withdrawal,"
or any other proper Notice of  Withdrawal  which  complies  with the  withdrawal
requirements  of  Section  4 of the Cal Kan Offer  should  be sent to  MacKenzie
Patterson,  Inc., the depository for the Cal Kan Offer,  in accordance  with the
terms of the Cal Kan Offer by no later than April 30, 1999, the expiration  date
of the Cal Kan Offer,  unless extended.  ANY LIMITED PARTNER  TENDERING UNITS TO
THE PURCHASER  FOLLOWING THE  WITHDRAWAL OF SUCH UNITS FROM THE CAL KAN OFFER OR
ANOTHER  COMPETING OFFER SHOULD FURNISH THE INFORMATION AGENT OF THIS OFFER WITH
COPIES OF THE  NOTICE(S) OF WITHDRAWAL  SENT BY SUCH LIMITED  PARTNER TO CAL KAN
(or its depository),  OR SUCH OTHER BIDDER IN A COMPETING OFFER, AS THE CASE MAY
BE.

     Conditions. The Offer is not conditioned on any aggregate minimum number of
Units being tendered.  Certain other conditions do apply,  however.  See Section
14.

     Distributions.  No  cash  distributions  were  made by the  Partnership  to
Limited  Partners during the years ended December 31, 1998 or 1997.  Pursuant to
the terms of the loan agreement  encumbering the Partnership's  properties,  the
Partnership  is prohibited  from making  distributions  to the Limited  Partners
until such debt is satisfied.  All net cash flow of the  Partnership is required
to be paid to the lender to reduce  accrued  interest and principal on the loan.
See Section 9.

     Outstanding Units. According to information supplied by the Partnership, as
of December 31, 1998 there were 1,222,000  Units issued and  outstanding,  which
were held of record by 2,033  Limited  Partners.  AIMCO  currently  owns 243,831
(representing  approximately 19.95%) of the outstanding Units. See Section 11 of
this Offer to Purchase for a list of  transactions  in the Units effected by the
Purchaser and its affiliates within the past 60 days.

                                    THE OFFER

     Section 1. Terms of the Offer;  Expiration Date; Proration.  Upon the terms
and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate
of the General  Partner)  will accept for payment (and  thereby  purchase) up to
305,500 Units that are validly  tendered on or prior to the Expiration  Date and
not  withdrawn in  accordance  with the  procedures  set forth in Section 4. For
purposes of the Offer,  the term  "Expiration  Date" shall mean 11:59 P.M.,  New
York City time,  on May 6, 1999,  unless the  Purchaser  in its sole  discretion
shall have  extended  the  period of time for which the Offer is open,  in which
event the term  "Expiration  Date"  shall mean the latest time and date on which
the Offer,  as  extended by the  Purchaser,  shall  expire.  See Section 5 for a
description of the  Purchaser's  right to extend the period of time during which
the Offer is open and to amend or terminate the Offer.

     The Purchase Price will automatically be reduced by the aggregate amount of
distributions per Unit, if any, made by the Partnership to Limited Partners from
and after the date of this Offer until the date on which the Purchaser  pays for
Units purchased pursuant to the Offer.

     If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Purchaser increases the consideration
offered to Limited Partners  pursuant to the Offer, the increased  consideration
will  be paid  for  all  Units  accepted  for  payment  pursuant  to the  Offer,
regardless  of whether  the Units were  tendered  prior to the  increase  in the
consideration offered.

     If more than 305,500  Units are validly  tendered  prior to the  Expiration
Date and not properly  withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date in accordance with
the procedures  specified in Section 4, the Purchaser  will,  upon the terms and
subject to the  conditions  of the  Offer,  accept  for  payment  and pay for an
aggregate of 305,500 of the Units so tendered,  pro rata according to the number
of Units validly tendered by each Limited Partner and not properly  withdrawn on
or prior to the Expiration Date, with appropriate adjustments to avoid purchases
of fractional  Units.  If the number of Units validly  tendered and not properly
withdrawn  on or prior to the  Expiration  Date is less than or equal to 305,500
Units, the Purchaser will purchase all Units so tendered and not withdrawn, upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

     If  proration  of  tendered  Units  is  required,   then,  subject  to  the
Purchaser's  obligation under Rule 14e-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act") to pay Limited  Partners the Purchase Price in respect
of Units  tendered  or return  those Units  promptly  after the  termination  or
withdrawal  of the  Offer,  the  Purchaser  does not intend to pay for any Units
accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer until the final proration results are
known.  Notwithstanding  any such delay in payment,  no interest will be paid on
the Purchase Price.

     The Offer is conditioned on satisfaction of certain conditions. See Section
14, which sets forth in full the conditions of the Offer. The Purchaser reserves
the right (but in no event shall be obligated), in its sole discretion, to waive
any or all of those  conditions.  If, on or prior to the Expiration Date, any or
all of the conditions have not been satisfied or waived,  the Purchaser reserves
the right to (i) decline to purchase any of the Units tendered and terminate the
Offer,  (ii) waive all of the unsatisfied  conditions and,  subject to complying
with  applicable  rules and  regulations of the  Commission,  purchase all Units
validly  tendered,  (iii) extend the Offer and,  subject to the right of Limited
Partners to withdraw Units until the Expiration Date, retain the Units that have
been  tendered  during the period or  periods  for which the Offer is  extended,
and/or (iv) amend the Offer.

     This Offer to Purchase  and the  related  Letter of  Transmittal  are being
mailed by the  Purchaser  (which is an affiliate of the General  Partner) to the
persons shown by the Partnership's  records to have been Limited Partners or (in
the case of Units owned of record by Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs") and
qualified  plans)   beneficial  owners  of  Units  as  of  April  1,  1999.  For
administrative purposes, the transfer of Units will be effective April 1, 1999.

     Section 2. Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Units. Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of the Offer,  the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of
the General Partner) will accept for payment (and thereby purchase) and will pay
for all  Units  validly  tendered  and not  withdrawn  in  accordance  with  the
procedures  specified  in Section 4, as promptly as  practicable  following  the
Expiration Date. A tendering  beneficial owner of Units whose Units are owned of
record by an IRA or other  qualified plan will not receive direct payment of the
Purchase Price; rather, payment will be made to the custodian of such account or
plan. In all cases,  payment for Units  purchased  pursuant to the Offer will be
made only after timely receipt by the Information Agent of a properly


                                       5
<PAGE>


completed  and duly  executed  Letter of  Transmittal  and any  other  documents
required by the Letter of  Transmittal.  See  Section 3. Under no  circumstances
will  interest  be paid on the  Purchase  Price by reason of any delay in making
such payment.

     For purposes of the Offer,  the  Purchaser  will be deemed to have accepted
for payment pursuant to the Offer, and thereby purchased, validly tendered Units
if, as and when the Purchaser  gives verbal or written notice to the Information
Agent of the Purchaser's  acceptance of those Units for payment  pursuant to the
Offer.  Upon the terms and subject to the  conditions of the Offer,  payment for
Units accepted for payment  pursuant to the Offer will be made by deposit of the
Purchase Price with the Information Agent, which will act as agent for tendering
Limited  Partners for the purpose of receiving  payments  from the Purchaser and
transmitting  those payments to Limited  Partners whose Units have been accepted
for payment.

     If any  tendered  Units are not  purchased  for any  reason,  the Letter of
Transmittal  with respect to such Units will be destroyed by the  Purchaser.  If
for any reason  acceptance  for payment of, or payment for,  any Units  tendered
pursuant  to the Offer is  delayed  or the  Purchaser  is  unable to accept  for
payment, purchase or pay for Units tendered pursuant to the Offer, then, without
prejudice to the  Purchaser's  rights under Section 14, the Purchaser may retain
tendered Units,  and those Units may not be withdrawn  except to the extent that
the tendering Limited Partners are entitled to withdrawal rights as described in
Section 4; subject,  however, to the Purchaser's  obligation under Rule 14e-1(c)
under the Exchange Act to pay Limited  Partners the Purchase Price in respect of
Units tendered or return those Units promptly after termination or withdrawal of
the Offer.

     The  Purchaser  reserves the right to transfer or assign,  in whole or from
time to time in part, to one or more of the Purchaser's 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  Limited Partners to receive payment for Units
validly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer.

     Section 3. Procedure for Tendering Units.

     Valid Tender.  In order for a tendering  Limited  Partner to participate in
the Offer,  its Units must be validly  tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to
the  Expiration  Date. To validly  tender Units,  a properly  completed and duly
executed Letter of Transmittal and any other documents required by the Letter of
Transmittal must be received by the Information  Agent, at its address set forth
on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase, on or prior to the Expiration Date,
including  ,  without  limitation,  to the extent a Limited  Partners  Units are
represented by a certificate,  the certificate  evidencing such Units. A Limited
Partner  may  tender  any or all of the  Units  owned by that  Limited  Partner;
provided,  however, tenders of fractional Units will not be permitted, except by
a  Limited  Partner  who is  tendering  all of the Units  owned by that  Limited
Partner. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted.

     Signature  Requirements.  If the  Letter  of  Transmittal  is signed by the
registered  holder of the  Units  and  payment  is to be made  directly  to that
holder,  then no signature  guarantee is required on the Letter of  Transmittal.
Similarly,  if the Units are  tendered  for the  account  of a member  firm of a
registered national securities exchange, a member 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"), no signature guarantee is
required  on the  Letter  of  Transmittal.  However,  in all  other  cases,  all
signatures  on the  Letter of  Transmittal  must be  guaranteed  by an  Eligible
Institution.  Please contact the Information Agent for assistance in obtaining a
signature guarantee.

     Delivery of Letter of Transmittal.  The method of delivery of the Letter of
Transmittal  and all other  required  documents is at the option and risk of the
tendering  Limited Partner,  and delivery will be deemed made only when actually
received  by the  Information  Agent.  In all cases,  sufficient  time should be
allowed to assure timely delivery.

     Appointment  as  Proxy;  Power  of  Attorney.  By  executing  a  Letter  of
Transmittal,  a tendering  Limited  Partner  irrevocably  appoints the Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the General  Partner),  and its managers and designees
as the  Limited  Partner's  proxies,  in the  manner  set forth in the Letter of
Transmittal,  each with full power of  substitution,  to the full  extent of the
Limited  Partner's  rights  with  respect to the Units  tendered  by the Limited
Partner and accepted for payment by the Purchaser  (which is an affiliate of the
General Partner).  Each such proxy shall be considered  coupled with an interest
in the tendered Units.  Such appointment will be effective when, and only to the
extent that,  the Purchaser  accepts the tendered  Units for payment.  Upon such
acceptance  for payment,



                                       6
<PAGE>


all prior proxies  given by the Limited  Partner with respect to the Units will,
without further action, be revoked,  and no subsequent proxies may be given (and
if given will not be  effective).  The  Purchaser and its managers and designees
will, as to those Units, be empowered to exercise all voting and other rights of
the  Limited  Partner as they in their sole  discretion  may deem  proper at any
meeting of Limited  Partners,  by written  consent or  otherwise.  The Purchaser
reserves  the right to  require  that,  in order for Units to be deemed  validly
tendered,  immediately upon the Purchaser's acceptance for payment of the Units,
the  Purchaser  must be able to exercise  full voting rights with respect to the
Units,  including  voting at any meeting of Limited  Partners then  scheduled or
acting by written consent without a meeting.

     By  executing a Letter of  Transmittal,  a tendering  Limited  Partner also
irrevocably  constitutes  and appoints the Purchaser and its general partner and
designees as the Limited  Partner's  attorneys-in-fact,  each with full power of
substitution, to the full extent of the Limited Partner's rights with respect to
the Units  tendered  by the  Limited  Partner  and  accepted  for payment by the
Purchaser. Such appointment will be effective when, and only to the extent that,
the Purchaser  accepts the tendered  Units for payment.  The  tendering  Limited
Partner  agrees not to exercise  any rights  pertaining  to the  tendered  Units
without the prior consent of the  Purchaser.  Upon such  acceptance for payment,
all prior powers of attorney granted by the Limited Partner with respect to such
Units will,  without further  action,  be revoked,  and no subsequent  powers of
attorney may be granted (and if granted will not be effective). Pursuant to such
appointment  as  attorneys-in-fact,  the Purchaser  and its general  partner and
designees  each  will  have the  power,  among  other  things,  (i) to  transfer
ownership  of such Units on the  Partnership  books  maintained  by the  General
Partner  (and  execute and deliver any  accompanying  evidences  of transfer and
authenticity  any of them  may  deem  necessary  or  appropriate  in  connection
therewith), (ii) upon receipt by the Information Agent (as the tendering Limited
Partner's agent) of the Purchase Price, to become a substituted Limited Partner,
to receive any and all  distributions  made by the  Partnership  on or after the
date on which the Purchaser  purchases  such Units,  and to receive all benefits
and  otherwise  exercise  all rights of  beneficial  ownership  of such Units in
accordance  with the terms of the  Offer,  (iii) to execute  and  deliver to the
General Partner a change of address form instructing the General Partner to send
any and all future  distributions to which the Purchaser is entitled pursuant to
the terms of the Offer in respect of tendered Units to the address  specified in
such form,  and (iv) to endorse  any check  payable to or upon the order of such
Limited  Partner  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 Limited Partner.

     Assignment  of Interest in Future  Distributions.  By executing a Letter of
Transmittal,  a tendering Limited Partner  irrevocably  assigns to the Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the General Partner) and its assigns all of the right,
title and  interest of the Limited  Partner in and to any and all  distributions
made by the  Partnership  on or after the date on which the Purchaser  purchases
such  Units,  in respect  of the Units  tendered  by such  Limited  Partner  and
accepted for payment by the  Purchaser,  regardless  of the fact that the record
date for any such distribution may be a date prior to the date of such purchase.
The  Purchaser  will seek to be admitted  to the  Partnership  as a  substituted
Limited Partner upon consummation of the Offer.

     Determination  of  Validity;  Rejection  of Units;  Waiver of  Defects;  No
Obligation to Give Notice of Defects.  All  questions as to the validity,  form,
eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender
of Units pursuant to the Offer will be determined by the Purchaser  (which is an
affiliate of the General Partner),  in its sole discretion,  which determination
shall be final and binding.  The Purchaser reserves the absolute right to reject
any or all tenders of any particular  Units determined by it not to be in proper
form or if the  acceptance  of or payment for those Units may, in the opinion of
the Purchaser's  counsel, be unlawful.  The Purchaser also reserves the absolute
right to waive or amend any of the  conditions  of the Offer  that it is legally
permitted  to waive as to the  tender of any  particular  Units and to waive any
defect or irregularity in any tender with respect to any particular Units of any
particular  Limited  Partner.  The Purchaser's  interpretation  of the terms and
conditions  of  the  Offer   (including  the  Letter  of  Transmittal   and  the
Instructions  thereto)  will be final and  binding.  No tender of Units  will be
deemed to have been validly made until all defects and irregularities  have been
cured or  waived.  None of the  Purchaser,  the  Information  Agent or any other
person  will  be  under  any  duty  to  give  notification  of  any  defects  or
irregularities  in the  tender of any  Units or will  incur  any  liability  for
failure to give any such notification.

     Backup Federal Income Tax Withholding.  To prevent the possible application
of backup federal  income tax  withholding of 31% with respect to payment of the
Purchase Price, each tendering Limited Partner must provide the Purchaser (which
is an  affiliate  of the General  Partner)  with the Limited  Partner's  correct
taxpayer identification number by completing the Substitute Form W-9 included in
the Letter of Transmittal. See the Instructions to the Letter of Transmittal and
Section 6.


                                       7
<PAGE>


     FIRPTA Withholding.  To prevent the withholding of federal income tax in an
amount  equal  to 10% of the  amount  of the  Purchase  Price  plus  Partnership
liabilities  allocable to each Unit  purchased,  each tendering  Limited Partner
must  complete  the  FIRPTA  Affidavit  included  in the  Letter of  Transmittal
certifying the Limited Partner's taxpayer  identification number and address and
that such Limited Partner is not a foreign person.  See the  Instructions to the
Letter of Transmittal and Section 6.

     Binding  Obligation.  A tender of Units pursuant to and in accordance  with
the  procedures  described in this Section 3 and the  acceptance  for payment of
such Units will  constitute a binding  agreement  between the tendering  Limited
Partner and the Purchaser  (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) on the
terms set forth in this Offer to Purchase and in the Letter of Transmittal.

     Section 4.  Withdrawal  Rights.  Tenders of Units pursuant to the Offer are
irrevocable,  except that Units tendered  pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn
at any time  prior to the  Expiration  Date and,  unless  already  accepted  for
payment as provided in this Offer to Purchase, may also be withdrawn at any time
after June 8, 1999.  For  withdrawal  to be  effective,  a written or  facsimile
transmission  notice of withdrawal  must be timely  received by the  Information
Agent at its address set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase.  Any
such notice of  withdrawal  must specify the name of the person who tendered the
Units to be withdrawn  and must be signed by the person(s) who signed the Letter
of  Transmittal  in the same  manner as the  Letter of  Transmittal  was  signed
(including  signature  guarantees by an Eligible  Institution).  Units  properly
withdrawn  will be deemed not to be validly  tendered for purposes of the Offer.
Withdrawn  Units  may be  re-tendered,  however,  by  following  the  procedures
described in Section 3 at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

     If payment for Units is delayed for any reason or if the  Purchaser  (which
is an  affiliate  of the  General  Partner)  is  unable to pay for Units for any
reason,  then,  without  prejudice  to the  Purchaser's  rights under the Offer,
tendered Units may be retained by the Purchaser and may not be withdrawn  except
to the extent that tendering  Limited Partners are entitled to withdrawal rights
as set forth in this Section 4; subject, however, to the Purchaser's obligation,
pursuant to Rule 14e-1(c)  under the Exchange  Act, to pay Limited  Partners the
Purchase Price in respect of Units tendered or return those Units promptly after
termination or withdrawal of the Offer.

     All  questions as to the validity and form  (including  time of receipt) of
notices  of  withdrawal  will  be  determined  by the  Purchaser,  in  its  sole
discretion,  which  determination  shall  be  final  and  binding.  None  of the
Purchaser,  the Information  Agent or any other person will be under any duty to
give  notification of any defects or  irregularities in any notice of withdrawal
or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.

     Section  5.  Extension  of  Tender  Period;  Termination;   Amendment.  The
Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner)  expressly reserves the
right, in its sole discretion,  at any time and from time to time, (i) to extend
the period of time during which the Offer is open and thereby  delay  acceptance
for payment of, and the payment for, validly  tendered Units,  (ii) to terminate
the Offer if any condition  referred to in Section 14 has not been  satisfied or
upon the occurrence of any event  specified in Section 14 and (iii) to amend the
Offer  in  any  respect  (including,   without  limitation,  by  increasing  the
consideration  offered,  increasing  or  decreasing  the  number of Units  being
sought, or both). Notice of any such extension, termination or amendment will be
disseminated  promptly to Limited  Partners in a manner  reasonably  designed to
inform  Limited  Partners of such change in compliance  with Rule 14d-4(c) under
the Exchange Act. In the case of an extension of the Offer,  the extension  will
be followed by a press  release or public  announcement  which will be issued no
later than 9:00 a.m.,  New York City time,  on the next  business  day after the
then  scheduled  Expiration  Date,  in accordance  with Rule 14e-1(d)  under the
Exchange Act.

     If the Purchaser extends the Offer, or if the Purchaser  (whether before or
after its  acceptance  for payment of Units) is delayed in its payment for Units
or is unable  to pay for Units  pursuant  to the  Offer  for any  reason,  then,
without  prejudice to the Purchaser's  rights under the Offer, the Purchaser may
retain tendered Units and those Units may not be withdrawn  except to the extent
tendering  Limited  Partners are entitled to  withdrawal  rights as described in
Section 4; subject,  however,  to the Purchaser's  obligation,  pursuant to Rule
14e-1(c)  under the Exchange Act, to pay Limited  Partners the Purchase Price in
respect of Units tendered or return those Units  promptly  after  termination or
withdrawal of the Offer.

     If the Purchaser  makes a material  change in the terms of the Offer or the
information  concerning  the Offer or waives a material  condition of the Offer,
the  Purchaser  will extend the Offer and  disseminate  additional  tender offer
materials  to the extent  required  by Rules  14d-4(c)  and  14d-6(d)  under the
Exchange  Act.  The  minimum  period  during  which an offer  must  remain  open
following a material change in the terms of the offer or information


                                       8
<PAGE>


concerning the offer will depend upon the facts and circumstances, including the
relative  materiality  of the change in the terms or  information.  If  material
changes are made with respect to information that approaches the significance of
price or the percentage of securities sought, a minimum of ten business days may
be required to allow for adequate  dissemination to securityholders and investor
response. As used in this Offer to Purchase,  "business day" means any day other
than a Saturday,  Sunday or a federal  holiday,  and consists of the time period
from 12:00 a.m. through 11:59 P.M., New York City time.

     Section 6. Certain Federal Income Tax Matters.

     General.  The following  summary is a general  discussion of certain of the
federal income tax  consequences of a sale of Units pursuant to the Offer.  This
summary is based on the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
applicable Treasury regulations thereunder, administrative rulings, practice and
procedures and judicial  authority,  all as of the date of the Offer. All of the
foregoing are subject to change, and any such change could affect the continuing
accuracy of this  summary.  This summary does not discuss all aspects of federal
income taxation that may be relevant to a particular Limited Partner in light of
such Limited  Partner's  specific  circumstances  or to certain types of Limited
Partners  subject to special  treatment  under the federal  income tax laws (for
example, foreign persons, dealers in securities,  banks, insurance companies and
tax-exempt organizations), nor (except as otherwise expressly indicated) does it
describe any aspect of state,  local,  foreign or other tax laws. Sales of Units
pursuant  to the Offer  will be  taxable  transactions  for  federal  income tax
purposes,  and also may be taxable  transactions under applicable state,  local,
foreign and other tax laws.  Each  Limited  Partner  should  consult its own tax
advisor as to the particular tax consequences to such Limited Partner of selling
Units pursuant to the Offer.

     Gain or Loss Generally.  In general,  a Limited Partner will recognize gain
or loss on a sale of Units pursuant to the Offer equal to the difference between
(i) the Limited  Partner's  "amount  realized"  on the sale and (ii) the Limited
Partner's adjusted tax basis in the Units sold.  Generally,  a Limited Partner's
adjusted  tax basis with  respect to a Unit  equals its cost,  increased  by the
amount of income and the amount of Partnership  liabilities (as determined under
Code Section 752) allocated to the Unit, and decreased by (i) any  distributions
made  with  respect  to such  Unit,  (ii) the  amount  of  deductions  or losses
allocated  to the Unit and  (iii) any  decrease  in the  amount  of  Partnership
liabilities (as determined  under Code Section 752) allocated to the Unit. Thus,
the amount of a Limited Partner's adjusted tax basis in tendered Units will vary
depending  upon the  Limited  Partner's  particular  circumstances.  The "amount
realized"  with  respect  to a Unit  will be a sum  equal to the  amount of cash
received by the Limited  Partner  for the Unit  pursuant to the Offer,  plus the
amount of the  Partnership's  liabilities  allocable to the Unit (as  determined
under Code Section 752).

     A portion of the gain or loss  recognized by a Limited Partner on a sale of
a Unit  pursuant  to the Offer  generally  will be treated as a capital  gain or
loss,  if (as is  generally  expected  to be the  case) the Unit was held by the
Limited Partner as a capital asset.  Under the IRS  Restructuring and Reform Act
of  1998,  the  capital  gains  rate for  individuals  and  other  non-corporate
taxpayers  is 20% for  sales of  capital  assets  held for more  than one  year.
However,  any gain from the sale of such assets attributable to the recapture of
depreciation  with respect to real  property  (other than  certain  depreciation
recapture  taxable  as  ordinary  income)  is  taxed at a  maximum  rate of 25%.
Corporate taxpayers are taxed at a maximum marginal rate of 35% for both capital
gains and ordinary  income.  The maximum  marginal  federal  income tax rate for
ordinary  income of  individuals  and  other  noncorporate  taxpayers  is 39.6%.
Capital losses are deductible only to the extent of capital gains,  except that,
subject to the passive activity loss limitations discussed below,  non-corporate
taxpayers  may deduct up to $3,000 of capital  losses in excess of the amount of
their capital gains against ordinary income. Excess capital losses generally can
be carried forward to succeeding years (a corporation's  carryforward  period is
five  years  and  a  non-corporate   taxpayer  can  carry  forward  such  losses
indefinitely);  and a  corporation  is  permitted  to carry back excess  capital
losses to the three  preceding  taxable  years,  provided the carryback does not
increase or produce a net operating loss for any of those years.

     A  tendering  Limited  Partner  will be  allocated  a pro rata share of the
Partnership's  taxable  income or loss for the year of sale with  respect to the
Units  sold  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of the  Limited  Partnership
Agreement   concerning   transfers  of  Units.  Such  allocation  and  any  cash
distributed by the  Partnership to the Limited Partner for that year will affect
the Limited Partner's adjusted tax basis in Units and, therefore,  the amount of
such Limited Partner's taxable gain or loss upon a sale of Units pursuant to the
Offer.


                                       9
<PAGE>


     Unrealized Receivables and Certain Inventory. A portion of the gain or loss
upon the sale of Units may be  attributable  to unrealized  receivables.  If any
portion  of the  amount  of  gain or  loss  realized  by a  Limited  Partner  is
attributable to "unrealized  receivables"  (which includes certain  depreciation
recapture) or "substantially  appreciated  inventory" as defined in Code Section
751, then a portion of the Limited Partner's gain or loss may be ordinary rather
than capital.  In addition,  a portion of such gain may be taxed at the 25% rate
discussed  above.  A Limited  Partner  who  tenders  Units  which are  purchased
pursuant  to the Offer  must file an  information  statement  with such  Limited
Partner's  federal income tax return for the year of the sale which provides the
information  specified  in  Treasury  Regulation  ss.  1.751-1(a)(3).  A selling
Limited Partner also must notify the Partnership of the date of the transfer and
the names,  addresses and tax  identification  numbers of the  transferor(s) and
transferee  within  30 days of the date of the  transfer  (or,  if  earlier,  by
January 15 of the following calendar year).

     Passive Activity Loss  Limitation.  Under Code Section 469, a non-corporate
taxpayer or personal service  corporation  generally can deduct "passive losses"
in any year only to the  extent of the  person's  passive  income for that year.
Closely held corporations (other than personal service  corporations) may offset
such losses  against active income as well as passive  activity  income for that
year. A portion of any post-1986 losses of Limited Partners from the Partnership
may have been  passive  losses.  Thus,  Limited  Partners  may have  "suspended"
passive  losses from the  Partnership  (i.e.,  post-1986  net taxable  losses in
excess of statutorily  permitted  "phase-in" amounts which have not been used to
offset  income  from  other  passive   activities  or  from  the   Partnership).
Substantially  all gain or loss from a sale of Units  pursuant to the Offer will
be passive income or loss.

     If a Limited  Partner  sells  less than all of its  Units  pursuant  to the
Offer,  suspended  passive  losses,  if any  (including  a  portion  of any loss
recognized on the sale of Units),  can be currently  deducted  (subject to other
applicable  limitations) to the extent of the Limited  Partner's  passive income
from the Partnership for that year (including any gain recognized on the sale of
Units) plus any other  passive  income for that year.  If, on the other hand,  a
Limited  Partner sells 100% of its Units pursuant to the Offer,  any "suspended"
losses and any losses recognized upon the sale of the Units will be offset first
against any other net passive  gain to the Limited  Partner from the sale of the
Units and any other net  passive  activity  income from other  passive  activity
investments,  and the balance of any  "suspended" net losses from the Units will
no longer be subject to the passive  activity loss  limitation  and,  therefore,
will be deductible by such Limited Partner from its other income (subject to any
other applicable limitations), including ordinary income. If a tendering Limited
Partner has suspended passive losses from the Partnership,  such Limited Partner
must sell all of its Units to receive these tax  benefits.  If more than 305,500
of the outstanding  Units are tendered,  some tendering Limited Partners may not
be able to sell 100% of their Units  pursuant to the Offer  because of proration
of the number of Units to be purchased by the Purchaser. See Section 1.

         Partnership  Termination.  Section  708(b) of the Code  provides that a
partnership terminates for income tax purposes if there is a sale or exchange of
50% or more of the total  interest in  partnership  capital and profits within a
twelve-month period (although successive transfers of the same interest within a
twelve-month  period will be treated as a single transfer for this purpose).  In
the event of a  termination,  the  Partnership's  tax year  would  close and the
Partnership  would be treated for income tax  purposes as if it had  contributed
all of its assets and  liabilities  to a "new"  partnership  in exchange  for an
interest  in the "new"  partnership.  The  Partnership  would then be treated as
making a  distribution  of the  interests  in the "new"  partnership  to the new
partners  and  the  remaining  partners,  followed  by  the  liquidation  of the
Partnership.  Because the "new"  partnership would be treated as having acquired
its assets on the date of the deemed contribution,  a new depreciation  recovery
period  would  begin  on  such  date,  the  Partnership's   annual  depreciation
deductions  over the next few  years  would be  substantially  reduced,  and the
Partnership  would have greater taxable income (or less tax loss) than if no tax
termination occurred. In addition,  depreciation may be required to be allocated
to those Limited Partners that have a higher tax basis. A tax termination of the
Partnership  would also terminate any partnership in which the Partnership holds
a majority interest (50% or more).

     The  Limited  Partnership  Agreement  prohibits  transfers  of  Units  if a
transfer,  when considered  with all other transfers  during the same applicable
twelve-month  period,  would  cause a  termination  of the  Partnership  for tax
purposes.  The Purchaser  believes  that even if the maximum  number of Units is
purchased  pursuant  to  the  Offer,  those  transfers  will  not  cause  a  tax
termination of the Partnership.

     Backup  Withholding and FIRPTA  Withholding.  Limited  Partners (other than
tax-exempt  persons,  corporations and certain foreign persons) who tender Units
may be subject to 31% backup withholding unless those Limited Partners provide a
taxpayer  identification  number  ("TIN") and certify that the TIN is correct or
properly


                                       10
<PAGE>


certify  that they are  awaiting  a TIN.  A  Limited  Partner  may avoid  backup
withholding by properly  completing and signing the Substitute Form W-9 included
as part of the Letter of  Transmittal.  If a Limited  Partner  who is subject to
backup  withholding does not properly complete and sign the Substitute Form W-9,
the Purchaser will withhold 31% from payments to such Limited Partner.

     Gain realized by a foreign  Limited  Partner on the sale of a Unit pursuant
to the Offer will be subject to federal income tax. Under Code Section 1445, the
transferee of an interest held by a foreign  person in a partnership  which owns
United States real  property  generally is required to deduct and withhold a tax
equal to 10% of the amount realized on the disposition.  In order to comply with
this  requirement,  the Purchaser will withhold 10% of the amount  realized by a
tendering  Limited  Partner unless the Limited  Partner  properly  completes and
signs  the  FIRPTA  Affidavit  included  as part of the  Letter  of  Transmittal
certifying the Limited Partner's TIN and address,  and that such Limited Partner
is not a foreign person.  Amounts withheld would be creditable against a foreign
Limited  Partner's  federal  income tax liability and, if in excess  thereof,  a
refund  could be obtained  from the  Internal  Revenue  Service by filing a U.S.
income tax return.

     Section 7. Effects of the Offer.

     Limitations  on  Resales.  The  Limited  Partnership   Agreement  prohibits
transfers  of Units if a  transfer,  when  considered  with all other  transfers
during the same applicable twelve-month period, would cause a termination of the
Partnership  for federal income tax purposes.  This provision may limit sales of
Units in the secondary  market and in private  transactions for the twelve-month
period  following  completion of the Offer.  The General Partner has advised the
Purchaser that the Partnership  will not process any requests for recognition of
substitution  of  Limited   Partners  upon  a  transfer  of  Units  during  such
twelve-month  period  which  the  General  Partner  believes  may  cause  a  tax
termination  in  contravention  of  the  Limited   Partnership   Agreement.   In
determining  the  number of Units  for  which  the  Offer is made  (representing
approximately  25%  of  the  outstanding  Units),  the  Purchaser  (which  is an
affiliate of the General  Partner) took this  restriction  into account so as to
permit normal historical levels of transfers to occur following the transfers of
Units pursuant to the Offer without violating this restriction.

     Effect on Trading Market; Reporting Requirements Under the Exchange Act. If
a substantial  number of Units are purchased  pursuant to the Offer,  the result
will be a reduction  in the number of Limited  Partners.  In the case of certain
kinds of equity securities,  a reduction in the number of security-holders might
be expected to result in a reduction in the  liquidity and volume of activity in
the  trading  market  for the  security.  In this  case,  however,  there  is no
established  public trading market for the Units and,  therefore,  the Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the General  Partner)  does not believe a reduction in
the number of Limited  Partners  will  materially  further  restrict the Limited
Partners'  ability to find purchasers for their Units through  secondary  market
transactions.  See Section 13 for certain limited  information  regarding recent
secondary market sales of the Units.

     The  Partnership  is required to file periodic  reports with the Commission
and to comply with certain other  Commission  rules.  The Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the General Partner) does not expect or intend that consummation of
the Offer will cause the Partnership to be relieved of its  requirements to file
periodic  reports with the  Commission and to comply with the other rules of the
Commission.  If the  Units  were to be held  by  fewer  than  300  persons,  the
Partnership could apply to de-register the Units under the Exchange Act. Because
the Units are widely held,  however,  the Purchaser  believes  that,  even if it
purchases  the maximum  number of Units in the Offer,  after that  purchase  the
Units will be held of record by more than 300 persons.

     Control  of  Limited  Partner  Voting  Decisions  by  Purchaser;  Effect of
Relationship  with General Partner.  The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the
General  Partner) will seek to be admitted to the  Partnership  as a substituted
Limited Partner upon  consummation of the Offer and, if admitted,  will have the
right to vote each Unit purchased  pursuant to the Offer.  Even if the Purchaser
is not admitted to the Partnership as a substituted  Limited  Partner,  however,
the Purchaser nonetheless will have the right to vote each Unit purchased in the
Offer pursuant to the irrevocable  appointment by tendering  Limited Partners of
the  Purchaser  and its  managers  and  designees as proxies with respect to the
Units  tendered  by such  Limited  Partners  and  accepted  for  payment  by the
Purchaser. See Section 3.

     AIMCO, an affiliate of the Purchaser,  currently owns approximately  19.95%
of the  outstanding  Units.  As a result of the  ownership  of such  Units,  the
Purchaser and its  affiliates are in a position to  significantly  influence all
Partnership  decisions on which Limited Partners may vote,  including  decisions
regarding  removal of the General Partner,  sales of assets,  liquidation of the
Partnership,  and most types of amendments to the Limited Partnership


                                       11
<PAGE>


Agreement and voting.  Depending upon the number of Units  tendered  pursuant to
the Offer, such influence may be enhanced (or the Purchaser may be in a position
to control such decisions).  This means that (i) non-tendering  Limited Partners
could be prevented from taking action they desire but that the Purchaser and its
affiliates  oppose and (ii) the Purchaser and its affiliates may be able to take
action  desired by them but opposed by a majority of the  non-tendering  Limited
Partners. Due to its affiliation with the General Partner, the Purchaser and its
affiliates  will most likely  vote the Units  owned by it in whatever  manner it
deems to be in the best interests of the General Partner,  but may not be in the
interest of other Limited Partners.

     The Offer will not result in any change in the compensation  payable to the
General  Partner  or its  affiliates.  However,  as a result of the  Offer,  the
Purchaser  (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) will  participate,  in
its capacity as a Limited  Partner,  in any subsequent  distributions to Limited
Partners to the extent of the Units purchased pursuant to the Offer.

     Section  8.  Future  Plans of AIMCO and the  Purchaser.  The  Purchaser  is
seeking to acquire  Units  pursuant to the Offer in order to increase its equity
interest in the Partnership,  primarily for investment  purposes and with a view
to making a profit.  Following the completion of the Offer, the Purchaser and/or
persons related to or affiliated with it may acquire  additional Units. Any such
acquisition  may be made through private  purchases,  through one or more future
tender or  exchange  offers or by any other  means  deemed  advisable.  Any such
acquisition  may be at a price higher or lower than the price to be paid for the
Units  purchased   pursuant  to  the  Offer,  and  may  be  for  cash  or  other
consideration.  AIMCO and the Purchaser  also may consider  disposing of some or
all of the Units  currently  owned or acquired  pursuant to the Offer to persons
not yet determined, which may include our affiliates. There can be no assurance,
however,  that AIMCO or the Purchaser  will initiate or complete any  subsequent
transaction  during any specific time period following the Expiration Date or at
all.

     The Purchaser does not have any present plans or intentions with respect to
an extraordinary transaction,  such as a merger,  reorganization or liquidation,
involving the  Partnership or a sale or refinancing of any of the  Partnership's
properties.  However,  AIMCO and the Purchaser  expect that  consistent with the
General  Partner's  fiduciary  obligations,  the General  Partner  will seek and
review  opportunities  (including  opportunities  identified  by  AIMCO  and the
Purchaser) to engage in transactions  which could benefit the Partnership,  such
as sales or refinancings of assets or a combination of the Partnership  with one
or more other  entities,  with the  objective of seeking to maximize  returns to
Limited Partners.

     Section  9.  Certain  Information  Concerning  the  Partnership.  Except as
otherwise  indicated,  information  contained  in this  Section 9 is based  upon
documents and reports publicly filed by the Partnership with the Commission.

     The  Partnership  was  organized  on January 23, 1986 under the laws of the
State of South  Carolina.  Its  principal  executive  offices  are located at 55
Beattie  Place,  P.O.  Box  1089,  Greenville,  South  Carolina  29602,  and its
telephone number at that address is (864) 239-1000.

     The  Partnership's  primary  business is real estate  ownership and related
operations.  The Partnership was formed for the purpose of making investments in
various types of real  properties  which offered capital  appreciation  and cash
distributions to Limited  Partners.  The general partners of the Partnership are
the General  Partner and N. Barton  Tuck,  Jr., who is not  affiliated  with the
Purchaser.  N. Barton Tuck,  Jr. is not involved in the day to day operations of
the  Partnership nor was he involved in the decision by the Purchase to make the
Offer.

     General Policy Regarding Sales and Refinancings of Partnership  Properties;
Alternatives.  It is not known when the  Partnership's  properties  may be sold.
There may be no way to liquidate a Limited Partner's investment in a partnership
in the future until the properties  are sold and the  Partnership is liquidated.
In general, the General Partner regularly evaluates the Partnership's properties
by considering various factors, such as the Partnership's financial position and
real estate and capital markets  conditions.  The General Partner  monitors each
property's specific locale and sub-market  conditions evaluating current trends,
competition, new construction and economic changes. The General Partner oversees
each asset's  operating  performance  and  continuously  evaluates  the physical
improvement  requirements.   In  addition,  the  financing  structure  for  each
property, tax implications and the investment climate are all considered. Any of
these factors, and possibly others, could potentially contribute to any decision
by the General Partner to sell, refinance,  upgrade with capital improvements or
hold a particular Partnership property.  Under the Limited Partnership Agreement
the term of the Partnership will continue until December 31, 2005, unless sooner
terminated as provided in the Limited Partnership Agreement or by law.

     Other Information.  The Partnership is subject to the information reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act and accordingly is required to file reports and
other  information  with the  Commission  relating  to its  business,  financial
results and other  matters.  Limited  Partners are referred to the financial and
other information included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. Such reports and other documents may be
inspected at the  Commission's  Public Reference  Section,  Room 1024, 450 Fifth
Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, where copies may be obtained at prescribed
rates,  and at the regional  offices of the  Commission  located in the Citicorp
Center,  500 West Madison Street,  Suite 1400,  Chicago,  Illinois 60661,  and 7
World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048. Copies should be available by mail
upon  payment  of  the  Commission's   customary   charges  by  writing  to  the
Commission's  principal  offices at 450 Fifth  Street,  N.W.,  Washington,  D.C.
20549. The Commission also maintains a web site that contains reports, proxy and
other information filed electronically with the Commission, the address of which
is http://www.sec.gov.

     Section 10.  Conflicts of Interest and Transactions  with  Affiliates.  The
General  Partner and its  affiliates  have conflicts of interest with respect to
the Offer as set forth below.

     Conflicts of Interest  with Respect to the Offer.  The General  Partner has
conflicts of interest with respect to the Offer,  including  conflicts resulting
from its affiliation  with the Purchaser.  The General Partner also would have a
conflict of interest (i) as a result of the fact that a sale or  liquidation  of
the  Partnership's  assets would result in a decrease or elimination of the fees
paid to the General  Partner  and/or its affiliates and (ii) as a consequence of
the Purchaser's ownership of Units, because the Purchaser (which is an affiliate
of the General Partner) may have incentives to seek to maximize the value of its
ownership  of Units,  which in turn may  result in a  conflict  for the  General
Partner in  attempting  to reconcile  the  interests of the  Purchaser  with the
interests of the other Limited  Partners.  In addition,  the Purchaser is making
the  Offer  with a view to  making a profit.  Accordingly,  there is a  conflict
between the desire of the  Purchaser  to  purchase  Units at a low price and the
desire  of the  Limited  Partners  to sell  their  Units  at a high  price.  The
Partnership has indicated in the Schedule 14D-9 that it is remaining neutral and
making no  recommendation  as to whether  Limited  Partners  should tender their
Units pursuant to the Offer. The Partnership states,  however, that if a Limited
Partner desires to obtain cash for its Units  presently,  it believes that those
Limited  Partners  should  tender their Units for the greatest  purchase  price.
Limited Partners are urged to read this Offer to Purchase and the Schedule 14D-9
and the  related  materials  carefully  and in their  entirety  before  deciding
whether to tender their Units.

     Voting  by the  Purchaser.  The  Purchaser  (which is an  affiliate  of the
General  Partner) will seek to be admitted to the  Partnership  as a substituted
Limited Partner upon  consummation of the Offer and, if admitted,  will have the
right to vote each Unit purchased  pursuant to the Offer.  Even if the Purchaser
(which  is an  affiliate  of  the  General  Partner)  is  not  admitted  to  the
Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner, however, the Purchaser nonetheless
will have the right to vote each Unit  purchased  in the Offer  pursuant  to the
irrevocable  appointment by tendering  Limited Partners of the Purchaser and its
managers and  designees  as proxies  with respect to the Units  tendered by such
Limited Partners and accepted for payment by the Purchaser. See Section 3.

     AIMCO, an affiliate of the Purchaser,  currently owns approximately  19.95%
of the  outstanding  Units.  As a result of the  ownership  of such  Units,  the
Purchaser and its  affiliates are in a position to  significantly  influence all
Partnership  decisions on which Limited Partners may vote,  including  decisions
regarding  removal of the General Partner,  sales of assets,  liquidation of the
Partnership,  and most types of amendments to the Limited Partnership  Agreement
and voting.  Depending upon the number of Units tendered  pursuant to the Offer,
such  influence may be enhanced (or the Purchaser and its affiliates may be in a
position to control such decisions).  This means that (i) non-tendering  Limited
Partners  could  be  prevented  from  taking  action  they  desire  but that the
Purchaser and its  affiliates  oppose and (ii) the Purchaser and its  affiliates
may be able to take  action  desired by them but  opposed  by a majority  of the
non-tendering Limited Partners. Due to its affiliation with the General Partner,
the Purchaser and its affiliates  will most likely vote the Units owned by it in
whatever manner it deems to be in the best interests of the General Partner, but
may not be in the interest of other Limited Partners.

     The Offer will not result in any change in the compensation  payable to the
General  Partner  or its  affiliates.  However,  as a result of the  Offer,  the
Purchaser  (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) will  participate,  in
its capacity as a Limited  Partner,  in any subsequent  distributions to Limited
Partners to the extent of the Units purchased pursuant to the Offer.

     Transactions with Affiliates.  The Limited  Partnership  Agreement provides
for certain  payments to affiliates for services and as reimbursement of certain
expenses  incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.  During the years
ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, affiliates of the General Partner (which
are also  affiliates  of the  Purchaser)  were  entitled  to receive 5% of gross
receipts  from all of the  Partnership's  residential  properties  for providing
property management services.  The Partnership paid to such affiliates $255,000,
$292,000  and $289,000  for the years ended  December  31, 1998,  1997 and 1996,
respectively. In addition, an affiliate of the General Partner (which is also an
affiliate of the Purchaser) received reimbursement of accountable administrative
expenses  amounting  to  approximately  $117,000,  $159,000 and $138,000 for the
years ended  December 31, 1998,  1997 and 1996,  respectively.  In addition,  an
affiliate of the General  Partner (who, at the time, was not an affiliate of the
Purchaser)  also received  leasing  commissions of $57,000 during the year ended
December 31, 1997. No leasing commissions were paid to affiliates of the General
Partner during the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1996.

     Section  11.  Certain  Information  Concerning  the  Purchaser,  AIMCO  and
AIMCO-GP, Inc. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) is a
Delaware limited partnership.  The general partner of the Purchaser is AIMCO-GP,
Inc., a Delaware corporation  ("AIMCO-GP"),  which is wholly-owned by AIMCO. The
Purchaser,  together with its  subsidiaries,  conduct  substantially  all of the
operations  of AIMCO.  AIMCO is a real  estate  investment  trust  that owns and
manages multifamily  apartment properties throughout the United States. Based on
apartment  unit  data  compiled  by  the  National  Multi-Housing  Council,  the
Purchaser  believes that, as of December 31, 1998,  AIMCO was one of the largest
owners and managers of  multifamily  apartment  properties in the United States,
with a total portfolio of 379,363 apartment units in 2,147 properties located in
49 states,  the  District of Columbia and Puerto  Rico.  AIMCO's  Class A Common
Stock is listed  and  traded on the New York  Stock  Exchange  under the  symbol
"AIV." As of December 31, 1998, AIMCO:


     o    owned or controlled 63,268 units in 243 apartment properties;

     o    held an equity interest in 170,061 units in 901 apartment  properties;
          and

     o    managed  146,034 units in 1,003  apartment  properties for third party
          owners and affiliates.

     The principal  executive  offices of the Purchaser,  AIMCO and AIMCO-GP are
located at 1873 South Bellaire Street, Denver, Colorado 80222, and our telephone
number is (303) 757-8101.

     The names,  positions and business addresses of the directors and executive
officers of AIMCO, the Purchaser and AIMCO-GP, as well as a biographical summary
of the experience of such persons for the past five years or more, are set forth
on Annex I attached hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

     The Purchaser and AIMCO are both subject to the  information  and reporting
requirements  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934  and,  in  accordance
therewith,  file reports and other  information with the Securities and Exchange
Commission  relating to their business,  financial  condition and other matters.
Such reports and other  information  may be  inspected  at the public  reference
facilities  maintained by the SEC at Judiciary  Plaza,  450 Fifth Street,  N.W.,

financial  statements  and related notes  contained  therein.  These reports and
other documents may be examined and copies thereof may be obtained in the manner
set forth above.

     Except for the  purchase  by AIMCO of (i) 92,314  Units on February 9, 1999
for a purchase price of $5.75 per Unit, (ii) 134,293 Units on March 3, 1999 at a
purchase  price of $5.50 per Unit and (iii) 17,224 Units on March 16, 1999, at a
purchase price of $5.75 per Unit,  none of the Purchaser,  AIMCO or AIMCO-GP or,
to the best of the Purchaser's  knowledge,  any of the persons listed on Annex I
hereto, or any affiliate of the foregoing,  (i) beneficially owns or has a right
to acquire any Units, (ii) has effected any transaction in the Units in the last
60 days, or (iii) has any contract,  arrangement,  understanding or relationship
with any  other  person  with  respect  to any  securities  of the  Partnership,
including,  but not  limited  to,  contracts,  arrangements,  understandings  or
relationships concerning the transfer or voting thereof, joint ventures, loan or
option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of loans, guarantees against loss
or the giving or withholding of proxies.

     Section 12. Source of Funds.  The  Purchaser  (which is an affiliate of the
General  Partner)  expects  that  approximately  $1,680,250  will be required to
purchase 305,500 Units, if tendered,  and to pay related fees and expenses.  The
Purchaser  (which is an affiliate of the General  Partner) expects to obtain all
of those funds from the Purchaser's reserves.

     Section 13. Background of the Offer.

     Affiliation With the General Partner.  Pursuant to a series of transactions
which  closed on October 1, 1998,  and February  26,  1999,  Insignia  Financial
Group,  Inc. and Insignia  Properties Trust merged into AIMCO,  with AIMCO being
the surviving  corporation (the "Insignia Merger").  As a result of the Insignia
Merger,  AIMCO  acquired  100%  ownership  interest in the  General  Partner and
thereby control of the Partnership.

     Determination  of Purchase Price. In establishing  the Purchase Price,  the
Purchaser  (which is an  affiliate  of the  General  Partner)  reviewed  certain
publicly available  information and certain  information made available to it by
the General Partner and its other affiliates,  including among other things: (i)
the Limited  Partnership  Agreement,  as amended to date; (ii) the Partnership's
Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB  for the year  ended  December  31,  1998;  (iii)
unaudited results of operations of the  Partnership's  properties for the period
since the  beginning  of the  Partnership's  current  fiscal year and to date in
1999; (iv) the operating budgets prepared by the property manager,  an affiliate
of the Purchaser,  to the Partnership's  properties for the year ending December
31, 1999; and (v) other information obtained by the Purchaser and its affiliates
in their  capacities as providers of property  management,  asset management and
partnership   administration  services  to  the  Partnership.   The  Purchaser's
determination  of the Purchase Price was based on its review and analysis of the
foregoing  information,  the other financial information and analyses concerning
the  Partnership  summarized  below.  In  determining  the Purchase  Price,  the
Purchaser did not rely upon any material,  non-public information concerning the
Partnership not summarized below or elsewhere in this Offer to Purchase.

     Trading  History of Units.  Secondary  market sales activity for the Units,
including privately  negotiated sales, has been limited and sporadic.  Set forth
in the table below are the high and low sales prices of Units for the  quarterly
periods from April 1, 1997 to March 31, 1999, as reported by the General Partner
and by The Partnership Spectrum, which is an independent,  third-party source. A
number of  transfers  may not be reflected in the table as a number of Units are
held in  "street  name"  and  their  transfers  may not be known to the  General
Partner  or  Partnership  Spectrum.  The  gross  sales  prices  reported  by The
Partnership  Spectrum do not necessarily reflect the net sales proceeds received
by sellers of Units,  which  typically  are  reduced  by  commissions  and other
secondary  market  transaction  costs to amounts less than the reported  prices;
thus the  Purchaser  does not  know  whether  the  information  compiled  by The
Partnership  Spectrum is accurate or complete.  The transfer paperwork submitted
to the General Partner often does not include the requested price information or
contains  conflicting  information  as to the actual sales  price;  accordingly,
Limited  Partners  should  not rely upon this  information  as being  completely
accurate.

- ----------
(1)  Includes   transfers  reported  by  the  General  Partner  and  Partnership
     Spectrum, an independent third party. The prices in the table are qualified
     in their entirety by the paragraph preceding the table.

     The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) believes that,
although  secondary market sales information  probably is not a reliable measure
of value because of the limited and inefficient  nature of the market for Units,
this information may be relevant to a Limited  Partner's  decision as to whether
to tender its Units  pursuant  to the Offer.  At present,  privately  negotiated
sales and  sales  through  intermediaries  (e.g.,  through  the  trading  system
operated by American  Partnership  Board,  Inc.,  which publishes sell offers by
holders of Units) are the only means available to a Limited Partner to liquidate
an investment  in Units (other than the Offer)  because the Units are not listed
or traded on any exchange or quoted on NASDAQ.

     Valuation  of  Units.  The  Purchaser  determined  the  Purchase  Price  by
estimating  the  value  of  the   Partnership's   properties  using  the  direct
capitalization  method  with  respect  to  the  residential   properties  and  a
discounted  cash  flow  method  with  respect  to the  Partnership's  commercial
property.

     The direct capitalization method involves applying a capitalization rate to
the  Partnership's  annual  property  income  attributable  to  the  residential
properties.  A capitalization  rate is a percentage  (rate of return),  commonly
applied by purchasers of residential real estate to property income to determine
the present value of income property. The lower the capitalization rate utilized
the higher the value produced,  and the higher the capitalization  rate utilized
the lower the value  produced.  The Purchaser  used the  Partnership's  property
income  attributable  to the  residential  properties  for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1998. However, in determining the appropriate  capitalization rate,
the Purchaser considered each residential  property's net operating income since
December 31, 1998. The Purchaser's  method for selecting a  capitalization  rate
begins with each property being assigned a location and condition  rating (e.g.,
"A" for excellent,  "B" for good, "C" for fair, and "D" for poor). The Purchaser
has  rated  both  the  residential  properties'  locations  B (good)  and  their
condition B (good).  Generally,  the Purchaser assigns an initial capitalization
rate of 10.25% to properties  in this  category.  The Purchaser  then adjust the
capitalization  rate based on whether  the  mortgage  debt that the  property is
subject to bears  interest  at a rate above or below 7.5% per annum.  Generally,
for every 0.5% in excess of 7.5%, the capitalization  rate would be increased by
0.25%.  The  evaluation  of  a  property's  location  and  condition,   and  the
determination  of  an  appropriate   capitalization  rate  for  a  property,  is
subjective  in  nature,  and others  evaluating  the same  property  might use a
different  capitalization  rate and derive a different property value.  Although
the  direct  capitalization  method is a  widely-accepted  way of  valuing  real
estate, there are a number of other methods available to value real estate, each
of which may result in different valuations of a property.  Further, in applying
the direct  capitalization  method,  others may make different  assumptions  and
obtain different results.

     The commercial property was valued by using a ten year discounted cash flow
method. This method takes into consideration  lease  terminations,  renewals and
future  leasing  prospects.  Using a ten year  discounted  cash flow  method for
pricing commercial property is widely- accepted method for determining values of
commercial property similar to that of the Partnership, however other methods of
pricing may be used which would result in different  valuations of the property.
The  proceeds  that a  Limited  Partner  would  receive  if he sold his Units to
someone else


                                       17

or if the Partnership were actually liquidated might be higher or lower than the
Purchase Price. The Purchaser determined the Purchaser Price as follows:.

13 (d) (3) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934),  or it shall  have  been
publicly  disclosed or the Purchaser  shall have otherwise  learned that (i) any
person or group shall have  acquired or  proposed  or be  attempting  to acquire
beneficial  ownership of more than four percent of the Units, or shall have been
granted any  option,  warrant or right,  conditional  or  otherwise,  to acquire
beneficial  ownership of more than four percent of the Units, or (ii) any person
or group shall have  entered  into a  definitive  agreement  or an  agreement in
principle or made a proposal with respect to a merger,  consolidation,  purchase
or lease of assets,  debt  refinancing  or other  business  combination  with or
involving the Partnership; or

     (g) with respect to the cash portion of the offer  consideration  only, the
Purchaser shall not have adequate cash or financing commitments available to pay
the cash portion of the offer consideration; or

     (h) the Offer to purchase may have an adverse effect on AIMCO's status as a
real estate investment trust.

     The foregoing  conditions are for the sole benefit of the Purchaser  (which
is an  affiliate of the General  Partner)  and may be asserted by the  Purchaser
regardless of the circumstances  giving rise to such conditions or may be waived
by the  Purchaser  in whole or in part at any time and from  time to time in its
reasonable discretion.  The failure by the Purchaser at any time to exercise any
of the  foregoing  rights  shall not be deemed a waiver of any such  right,  the
waiver of any such right with respect to any particular  facts or  circumstances
shall not be deemed a waiver with  respect to any other  facts or  circumstances
and each right shall be deemed a  continuing  right which may be asserted at any
time and from time to time.

     Section 15. Certain Legal Matters.

     General.  The Purchaser  (which is an affiliate of the General  Partner) is
not aware of any filings,  approvals or other actions by any domestic or foreign
governmental  or  administrative  agency  that  would be  required  prior to the
acquisition  of Units by the  Purchaser  pursuant  to the Offer,  other than the
filing of a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 with the Commission  (which
has already been filed) and any  required  amendments  thereto.  Should any such
approval or other action be required,  it is the Purchaser's  present  intention
that such  additional  approval or action would be sought.  Although there is no
present  intent to delay the  purchase of Units  tendered  pursuant to the Offer
pending  receipt  of any such  additional  approval  or the  taking  of any such
action,  there can be no assurance that any such additional  approval or action,
if needed,  would be obtained  without  substantial  conditions  or that adverse
consequences  might not result to the  Partnership's  business,  or that certain
parts of the  Partnership's  business  might not have to be disposed of or other
substantial conditions complied with in order to obtain such approval or action,
any of which could cause the  Purchaser to elect to terminate  the Offer without
purchasing Units thereunder.

     Antitrust.  The  Purchaser  (which is an affiliate of the General  Partner)
does not believe that the Hart-Scott-Rodino  Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976,
as amended, is applicable to the acquisition of Units contemplated by the Offer.

     Margin  Requirements.  The  Units  are not  "margin  securities"  under the
regulations  of the  Board of  Governors  of the  Federal  Reserve  System  and,
accordingly, those regulations generally are not applicable to the Offer.

     Section 16. Fees and Expenses.  Except as set forth in this Section 16, the
Purchaser  (which is an affiliate of the General  Partner) will not pay any fees
or commissions to any broker,  dealer or other person for soliciting  tenders of
Units pursuant to the Offer.  The Purchaser has retained River Oaks  Partnership
Services, Inc. to act as


                                       20
<PAGE>


Information  Agent and  Depositary in connection  with the Offer.  The Purchaser
will pay the Information  Agent reasonable and customary  compensation for their
respective  services  in  connection  with the  Offer,  plus  reimbursement  for
out-of-pocket  expenses,  and has  agreed to  indemnify  the  Information  Agent
against  certain  liabilities  and expenses in connection  therewith,  including
liabilities  under the federal  securities laws. The Purchaser will also pay all
costs and  expenses  of  printing  and  mailing the Offer and its legal fees and
expenses.

     Section 17.  Miscellaneous.  The  Purchaser  (which is an  affiliate of the
General  Partner)  is not aware of any  jurisdiction  in which the making of the
Offer is not in compliance with  applicable law. If the Purchaser  becomes aware
of any  jurisdiction in which the making of the Offer would not be in compliance
with  applicable law, the Purchaser will make a good faith effort to comply with
any such law. If, after such good faith effort, the Purchaser cannot comply with
any such law, the Offer will not be made to (nor will  tenders be accepted  from
or on behalf  of)  Limited  Partners  residing  in such  jurisdiction.  In those
jurisdictions  whose securities or blue sky laws require the Offer to be made by
a licensed  broker or  dealer,  the Offer will be deemed to be made on behalf of
the Purchaser by one or more  registered  brokers or dealers  licensed under the
laws of that jurisdiction.

     No  person  has  been  authorized  to give any  information  or to make any
representation  on  behalf  of the  Purchaser  not  contained  in this  Offer to
Purchase or in the Letter of Transmittal and, if given or made, such information
or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized.

     The  Purchaser,  AIMCO and AIMCO-GP have filed with the Commission a Tender
Offer  Statement  on Schedule  14D-1,  pursuant to Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange
Act,  furnishing certain  additional  information with respect to the Offer, and
may file  amendments  thereto.  The Schedule 14D-1 and any  amendments  thereto,
including  exhibits,  may be  inspected  and copies may be  obtained at the same
places and in the same  manner as set forth in Section 9 (except  that they will
not be available at the regional offices of the Commission).

     The  undersigned  hereby  acknowledges  that  he or she  has  received  and
reviewed (i) the Purchaser's Offer to Purchase,  dated April 9, 1999 (the "Offer
Date") 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  all  Depositary   Unit   Certificates   (the  "Units")   representing
assignments of limited  partnership  interest in U.S. Realty Limited Partnership
(the  "Partnership")  set forth in the box above entitled  "Description of Units
Tendered,"  at the price set forth in 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"),  in each case, 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 (each,  a
"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 a
Partnership;  and (iv) all present and future claims, if any, of the undersigned
against a  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,
the  Purchaser's  general partner 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.  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 terms of its  Partnership  Agreement;  (ii)  empowers the
Purchaser and its agent to execute and deliver to each general


                                       3

partner a change of address form  instructing  the general  partners 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
April 1, 1999.

     Notwithstanding  any provision in a Partnership  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
a  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.

     The  undersigned has been advised that the Purchaser is an affiliate of the
general  partner  of each  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 each
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.

     The  undersigned  further  represents  and  warrant  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,  the
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, it 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 or 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

     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.

                               TAX CERTIFICATIONS (See Instruction 4)

     By signing the Letter of  Transmittal  in the Signature Box, the unitholder
certifies as true under penalty of perjury,  the  representations  in Boxes A, B
and C below.  Please  refer to the attached  Instructions  for  completing  this
Letter of Transmittal and Boxes A, B and C below.

                           (See Instruction 4 - Box A)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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,
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
subject to backup withholding.

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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     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  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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     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

has  effectively  connected  gains  from  transactions  with a broker  or barter
exchange.

4.   SPECIAL PAYMENT AND DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS. If consideration is to be issued
     in the name of a person other than the person  signing the Signature Box of
     the  Letter of  Transmittal  or if  consideration  is to be sent to someone
     other than such  signer or to an  address  other than that set forth on the
     Letter of Transmittal in the box entitled  "Description 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 penalties
     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).




                                       9


<PAGE>

     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.

     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.

9.   MINIMUM  TENDERS.  A  unitholder  may tender any or all of his,  her or its
     Units.

10.  CONDITIONAL TENDERS. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will
     be accepted.

                                  April 9, 1999


Dear Depositary Unit Certificateholder:

     HIGHEST  OFFER TO DATE!  We are  offering to acquire your  depositary  unit
certificates  (the  "Units")  representing  assignments  of limited  partnership
interest in U.S. Realty Partners  Limited  Partnership (the  "Partnership")  for
$5.50 per Unit in cash. Enclosed for your review and consideration are documents
relating  to our Offer to purchase  your  Units.  Our offer will expire at 11:59
p.m., New York City time on May 6, 1999 (unless extended by us).

     The general  partner of the  Partnership is our  affiliate.  As a result of
this affiliation, the Partnership has indicated in a Statement on Schedule 14D-9
(the "Schedule 14D-9") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it
is  remaining  neutral  and making no  recommendation  as to whether its limited
partners  should  tender their Units in response to our Offer.  The  Partnership
further  states,  however,  that if a limited partner desires to obtain cash for
its Units presently, it believes that those limited partners should tender their
Units for the greatest  purchase price.  Limited  Partners are urged to read our
Offer to Purchase and the related materials and the Schedule 14D-9 carefully and
in their entirety before deciding whether to tender their Units.

     HIGHEST OFFER TO DATE!  Although not necessarily  indicative of value,  our
Purchaser  Price is (i) $.50 per Unit greater than the purchase price being paid
in a  competing  offer made on March 25,  1999 (the "Cal Kan Offer") by MP Value
Fund 4, L.P.,  MP Value Fund 6, LLC,  MacKenzie  Patterson  Special  Fund,  LLC,
MacKenzie Patterson Special Fund 3, LLC, MacKenzie Patterson Special Fund 4, LLC
and Cal Kan, Inc.  (collectively,  "Cal Kan"),  (ii) $1.50 per Unit greater than
the  purchase  price being paid in a  competing  offer made on or about April 6,
1999 (the "Everest  Offer") by Everest  Investors 12, LLC  ("Everest") and (iii)
$3.40 per Unit greater the purchase  price being paid in a competing  offer made
on March 22, 1999 (the "Madison Offer") by Madison Liquidity  Investors 104, LLC
("Madison").  In addition,  with respect to the Madison and Everest Offers,  the
purchase price is reduced by the $75.00 transfer fee charged by the Partnership.
Accordingly,  the actual  purchase  price for the Madison and Everest  Offers is
significantly reduced.

     You  should  be  aware,  however,  that,  as with any  rational  investment
decision, we are making our Offer with a view to making a profit. No independent
person has been  retained to evaluate or render any opinion  with respect to the
fairness  of  our  Offer,  and no  representation  is  made  by us or any of our
affiliates as to such fairness.

     IF YOU TENDERED YOUR UNITS IN THE CAL KAN OFFER,  YOU MAY STILL TENDER YOUR
UNITS TO US BY COMPLETING  THE ENCLOSED THE NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL  AND THE LETTER
OF  TRANSMITTAL.  THE NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL  MUST BE DELIVERED TO CAL KAN (with a
copy to our  Information  Agent) BY NO LATER THAN APRIL 30, 1999, THE EXPIRATION
DATE OF THE CAL KAN OFFER, UNLESS EXTENDED.
