(1)  The  condensed  statements included herein have been  prepared
     by  the Partnership, without audit, pursuant to the rules  and
     regulations  of  the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  and
     reflect   all  adjustments  which  are,  in  the  opinion   of
     management,  necessary to a fair statement of the  results  of
     operations for the interim period, on a basis consistent  with
     the  annual audited statements.  The adjustments made to these
     condensed   statements  consist  only  of   normal   recurring

     statements  prepared  in  accordance with  generally  accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted  pursuant
     to  such  rules  and  regulations,  although  the  Partnership
     believes  that  the  disclosures  are  adequate  to  make  the
     information  presented not misleading.  It is  suggested  that
     these  condensed financial statements be read  in  conjunction
     with  the  financial statements and the summary of significant
     accounting  policies  and  notes  thereto  included   in   the

     of  AFM,  AEI  Fund  Management, Inc.  (AEI),  performs  the
     administrative and operating functions for the Partnership.

     The   terms   of  the  Partnership  offering  call   for   a
     subscription  price of $1,000 per Limited Partnership  Unit,
     payable   on  acceptance  of  the  offer.   The  Partnership
     commenced  operations  on  October  3,  1986  when   minimum
     subscriptions    of   1,300   Limited   Partnership    Units
     ($1,300,000)  were  accepted.  On  December  30,  1986,  the
     Partnership's   offering   terminated   when   the   maximum
     subscription  limit  of  7,500  Limited  Partnership   Units
     ($7,500,000) was reached.

     Under  the  terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement,  the
     Limited  Partners and General Partners contributed funds  of
     $7,500,000  and $1,000, respectively.  During the  operation
     of the Partnership, any Net Cash Flow, as defined, which the
     General Partners determine to distribute will be distributed
     90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners;
     provided,  however, that such distributions to  the  General
     Partners will be subordinated to the Limited Partners  first
     receiving an annual, noncumulative distribution of Net  Cash
     Flow equal to 10% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution, as
     defined,  and, provided further, that in no event  will  the
     General Partners receive less than 1% of such Net Cash  Flow
     per  annum.  Distributions to Limited Partners will be  made
     pro rata by Units.

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

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

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

     The  General Partners are not required to currently  fund  a
     deficit capital balance. Upon liquidation of the Partnership
     or  withdrawal  by  a General Partner, the General  Partners
     will  contribute to the Partnership an amount equal  to  the
     lesser of the deficit balances in their capital accounts  or
     1%  of total Limited Partners' and General Partners' capital
     contributions.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate -

     On  December  23, 1997, the Partnership purchased  a  26.05%
     interest in a parcel of land in Troy, Michigan for $393,620.
     The  land is leased to Champps Entertainment, Inc. (Champps)
     under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years  and
     annual rental payments of $27,553.  Effective June 20, 1998,
     the  annual  rent was increased to $41,330.   Simultaneously
     with  the purchase of the land, the Partnership entered into
     a   Development   Financing  Agreement   under   which   the
     Partnership  advanced funds to Champps for the  construction
     of  a  Champps Americana restaurant on the site.  Initially,
     the  Partnership charged interest on the advances at a  rate
     of  7.0%.   Effective June 20, 1998, the interest  rate  was
     increased  to  10.50%.   On September  3,  1998,  after  the
     development  was completed, the Lease Agreement was  amended
     to   require  annual  rental  payments  of  $133,356.    The
     Partnership's   share  of  the  total   acquisition   costs,
     including  the  cost  of  the  land,  was  $1,330,265.   The
     remaining  interests in the property are owned by  AEI  Real
     Estate  Fund XVII Limited Partnership, AEI Real Estate  Fund
     XVIII  Limited Partnership and AEI Net Lease Income & Growth
     Fund XIX Limited Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership.

     The Partnership owned a 44.9042% interest in a restaurant in
     Waco, Texas, which was previously closed.  In June 1995, the
     Partnership  re-leased the restaurant to Tex-Mex  Cocina  of
     Waco,  L.C.   The  Lease Agreement had  a  primary  term  of
     eighteen  months with an annual rental payment  of  $24,248.
     In  December,  1997, the lessee elected not to exercise  the
     renewal option in the lease.  The restaurant was closed  and
     listed  for  sale or lease.  While the property was  vacant,
     the  Partnership was responsible for the real  estate  taxes
     and other costs required to maintain the property.

     As  of  December  31, 1997, based on an analysis  of  market
     conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value  of
     the   Partnership's  interest  in  the  Waco  property   was
     approximately $314,400.  In the fourth quarter  of  1997,  a
     charge  to operations for real estate impairment of  $80,300
     was  recognized,  which is the difference between  the  book
     value  at  December 31, 1997 of $394,700 and  the  estimated
     fair value of $314,400.  The charge was recorded against the
     cost  of  the  land  and building.  In December,  1998,  the
     Partnership  re-analyzed the market conditions in  the  area
     and  determined the fair value of the Partnership's interest
     declined  to approximately $126,000.  In the fourth  quarter
     of  1998,  a charge to operations for real estate impairment
     of  $180,000 was recognized, which is the difference between
     the  book  value  at December 31, 1998 of $306,000  and  the
     estimated  fair value of $126,000.  The charge was  recorded
     against the cost of the land and building.

     In March, 1999, the Partnership entered into an agreement to
     sell the Waco property to an unrelated third party.  On  May
     10, 1999, the sale closed with the Partnership receiving net
     sale  proceeds of $128,879 which resulted in a net  gain  of
     $4,228.    At  the  time  of  sale,  the  cost  and  related
     accumulated   depreciation  was   $287,710   and   $163,059,
     respectively.

     In February, 1999, the Partnership entered into an agreement
     to  sell  the  Fuddruckers property to  an  unrelated  third
     party.   On  June  16,  1999,  the  sale  closed  with   the
     Partnership receiving net sale proceeds of $1,145,424  which
     resulted  in a net gain of $270,044.  At the time  of  sale,
     the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $1,138,297
     and $262,917, respectively.

     On  July  14,  1999, the Partnership purchased a  Children's
     World  daycare  center in West Chester, Ohio  for  $999,162.
     The  property  is  leased to ARAMARK Educational  Resources,
     Inc. under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 15 years
     and annual rental payments of $93,162.

     On  August  6,  1999, the Partnership sold  5.8515%  of  its
     interest  in  the  Timber Lodge Steakhouse to  an  unrelated
     third party.  The Partnership received net sale proceeds  of
     $109,271  which resulted in a net gain of $16,850.   At  the
     time  of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
     of the interest sold was $97,031 and $4,610, respectively.

     In   October,  1999,  the  Partnership  sold  an  additional
     17.2083%  of its interest in the Timber Lodge Steakhouse  in
     two  separate transactions to unrelated third parties.   The
     Partnership  received  net  sale proceeds  of  approximately
     $320,000,  which  resulted in a net  gain  of  approximately
     $50,000.   The  majority of the net sale  proceeds  will  be
     reinvested in additional property in the future.

(4)  Payable to AEI Fund Management -

     AEI  Fund  Management, Inc. performs the administrative  and
     operating functions for the Partnership.  The payable to AEI
     Fund   Management  represents  the  balance  due  for  those
     services.    This  balance  is  non-interest   bearing   and
     unsecured  and  is  to  be  paid in  the  normal  course  of
     business.

(5)  Deferred Income -

     In  June,  1994, Fuddruckers, Inc., the restaurant concept's
     franchisor,  acquired  the  operations  of  the  Fuddruckers
     restaurant  in  St. Louis, Missouri, and assumed  the  lease
     obligations  from  the  original lessee.   As  part  of  the
     agreement,  the Partnership amended the Lease to reduce  the
     annual   base   rent   from  $163,550   to   $138,246.    In
     consideration  for the lease assumption and  amendment,  the
     Partnership  received a lump sum payment from  the  original
     lessee of $210,277.  The lump sum payment was recognized  as
     income  over the Lease term, which was scheduled  to  expire
     January  31,  2008, using the straight line method.   As  of
     March  31,  1999 and December 31, 1998, the Partnership  had
     recognized  $73,530  and  $69,660,  respectively,  of   this
     payment  as income.  On June 16, 1999, the Partnership  sold
     the  Fuddruckers  restaurant and  the  Lease  Agreement  was
     terminated.   As  a result, the Partnership  recognized  the
     balance  of  the deferred income of $136,747 in  the  second
     quarter of 1999.  At September 30, 1999, deferred income  of
     $20,033   was   prepaid  rent  related  to   certain   other
     Partnership properties.



ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

       For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the
Partnership  recognized rental income of $619,438  and  $440,158,
respectively.   During the same periods, the  Partnership  earned
investment income of $11,746 and $42,495, respectively.  In 1999,
rental  income increased as a result of additional rent  received
from  three  property acquisitions in 1998 and 1999 and  deferred
income  recognized  as a result of the sale  of  the  Fuddruckers
restaurant  discussed below.  These increases  in  rental  income
were  partially  offset by a decrease in  rental  income  due  to
property sales and a decrease in investment income earned on  net
sale proceeds prior to the purchase of the additional properties.

        The Partnership owned a 44.9042% interest in a restaurant
in  Waco, Texas, which was previously closed.  In June 1995,  the
Partnership re-leased the restaurant to Tex-Mex Cocina  of  Waco,
L.C.   The Lease Agreement had a primary term of eighteen  months
with  an annual rental payment of $24,248.  The Partnership could
also  receive additional rent if gross receipts from the property
exceeded  certain  specified amounts.   In  December,  1997,  the
lessee  elected not to exercise the renewal option in the  lease.
The  restaurant was closed and listed for sale or  lease.   While
the  property was vacant, the Partnership was responsible for the
real  estate  taxes  and  other costs required  to  maintain  the
property.

        As  of  December 31, 1997, based on an analysis of market
conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value  of  the
Partnership's  interest  in the Waco property  was  approximately
$314,400.   In the fourth quarter of 1997, a charge to operations
for  real  estate impairment of $80,300 was recognized, which  is
the  difference between the book value at December  31,  1997  of
$394,700  and the estimated fair value of $314,400.   The  charge
was  recorded  against  the cost of the land  and  building.   In
December, 1998, the Partnership re-analyzed the market conditions
in  the  area  and determined the fair value of the Partnership's
interest  declined  to  approximately $126,000.   In  the  fourth
quarter  of  1998,  a  charge  to  operations  for  real   estate
impairment  of  $180,000 was recognized, which is the  difference
between  the book value at December 31, 1998 of $306,000 and  the
estimated  fair  value  of  $126,000.  The  charge  was  recorded
against the cost of the land and building.

        In March, 1999, the Partnership entered into an agreement
to  sell the Waco property to an unrelated third party.   On  May
10, 1999, the sale closed with the Partnership receiving net sale
proceeds of $128,879 which resulted in a net gain of $4,228.   At
the  time  of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
was $287,710 and $163,059, respectively.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
the  Partnership  paid  Partnership  administration  expenses  to
affiliated  parties of $86,835 and $78,787, respectively.   These
administration  expenses  include  costs  associated   with   the
management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting
requirements  and correspondence to the Limited Partners.  During
the   same   periods,   the  Partnership   incurred   Partnership
administration  and property management expenses  from  unrelated
parties  of  $16,623 and $26,328, respectively.   These  expenses
represent  direct payments to third parties for legal and  filing
fees,  direct administrative costs, outside audit and  accounting
costs, taxes, insurance and other property costs.

        As  of  September 30, 1999, the Partnership's  annualized
cash  distribution rate was 7.5%, based on the  Adjusted  Capital
Contribution.   Distributions of Net Cash  Flow  to  the  General
Partners were subordinated to the Limited Partners as required in
the Partnership Agreement.  As a result, 99% of distributions and
income  were allocated to Limited Partners and 1% to the  General
Partners.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

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

       The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer systems that
use  two  digits rather than four to define the applicable  year,
which  may prevent such systems from accurately processing  dates
ending  in  the  Year  2000 and beyond.   This  could  result  in
computer  system failures or disruption of operations, including,
but not limited to, an inability to process transactions, to send
or  receive  electronic data, or to engage  in  routine  business
activities.

        AEI  Fund  Management, Inc. (AEI) performs all management
services  for  the  Partnership.   In  1998,  AEI  completed   an
assessment of its computer hardware and software systems and  has
replaced or upgraded certain computer hardware and software using
the  assistance  of  outside vendors.  AEI has  received  written
assurance  from  the equipment and software manufacturers  as  to
Year  2000  compliance.   The  costs associated  with  Year  2000
compliance have not been, and are not expected to be, material.

        The  Partnership intends to monitor and communicate  with
tenants regarding Year 2000 compliance, although there can be  no
assurance  that the systems of the various tenants will  be  Year
2000 compliant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        During  the  nine months ended September  30,  1999,  the
Partnership's cash balances increased $421,459 mainly as a result
of  cash generated from the sale of property, which was partially
offset by cash used to purchase an additional property.  Net cash
provided by operating activities increased from $397,907 in  1998
to  $427,983 in 1999 mainly as a result of an increase in  income
in  1999, which was partially offset by net timing differences in
the  collection of payments from the lessees and the  payment  of
expenses.

        The  major components of the Partnership's cash flow from
investing activities are investments in real estate and  proceeds
from  the  sale  of  real estate.  During the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1999, the Partnership generated cash flow from  the
sale  of real estate of $1,383,574.  During the nine months ended
September  30,  1999 and 1998, the Partnership expended  $999,162
and   $822,125,  respectively,  to  invest  in  real   properties
(inclusive of acquisition expenses) as the Partnership reinvested
the cash generated from property sales.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

        On  December 23, 1997, the Partnership purchased a 26.05%
interest in a parcel of land in Troy, Michigan for $393,620.  The
land  is leased to Champps Entertainment, Inc. (Champps) under  a
Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual rental
payments  of  $27,553.  Effective June 20, 1998, the annual  rent
was  increased to $41,330.  Simultaneously with the  purchase  of
the  land,  the Partnership entered into a Development  Financing
Agreement  under which the Partnership advanced funds to  Champps
for  the  construction of a Champps Americana restaurant  on  the
site.   Initially,  the  Partnership  charged  interest  on   the
advances  at  a  rate  of 7.0%.  Effective  June  20,  1998,  the
interest  rate  was increased to 10.50%.  On September  3,  1998,
after  the  development was completed, the  Lease  Agreement  was
amended  to  require  annual rental payments  of  $133,356.   The
Partnership's share of the total acquisition costs, including the
cost of the land, was $1,330,265.  The remaining interests in the
property  are  owned  by  AEI  Real  Estate  Fund  XVII   Limited
Partnership,  AEI Real Estate Fund XVIII Limited Partnership  and
AEI  Net  Lease  Income  & Growth Fund XIX  Limited  Partnership,
affiliates of the Partnership.

        In  February,  1999,  the  Partnership  entered  into  an
agreement to sell the Fuddruckers property to an unrelated  third
party.   On  June 16, 1999, the sale closed with the  Partnership
receiving net sale proceeds of $1,145,424 which resulted in a net
gain  of  $270,044.  At the time of sale, the  cost  and  related
accumulated    depreciation   was   $1,138,297   and    $262,917,
respectively.

       In June, 1994, the Partnership received a lump sum payment
of $210,277 as compensation for certain modifications made to the
Fuddruckers'  Lease.   The  lump sum payment  was  recognized  as
income over the Lease term using the straight line method.  As  a
result  of the sale, the Lease Agreement was terminated  and  the
Partnership  recognized  the balance of the  deferred  income  of
$136,747 in the second quarter of 1999.

        On  July 14, 1999, the Partnership purchased a Children's
World  daycare  center in West Chester, Ohio for  $999,162.   The
property is leased to ARAMARK Educational Resources, Inc. under a
Lease Agreement with a primary term of 15 years and annual rental
payments of $93,162.

        On  August 6, 1999, the Partnership sold 5.8515%  of  its
interest in the Timber Lodge Steakhouse in to an unrelated  third
party.   The  Partnership received net sale proceeds of  $109,271
which  resulted in a net gain of $16,850.  At the time  of  sale,
the  cost  and  related accumulated depreciation of the  interest
sold was $97,031 and $4,610, respectively.

        In  October,  1999,  the Partnership sold  an  additional
17.2083%  of its interest in the Timber Lodge Steakhouse  in  two
separate   transactions   to  unrelated   third   parties.    The
Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $320,000,
which  resulted  in  a  net gain of approximately  $50,000.   The
majority  of  the  net  sale  proceeds  will  be  reinvested   in
additional property in the future.

       The Partnership's primary use of cash flow is distribution
and  redemption  payments to Partners.  The Partnership  declares
its  regular  quarterly  distributions before  the  end  of  each
quarter and pays the distribution in the first week after the end
of  each quarter.  The Partnership attempts to maintain a  stable
distribution rate from quarter to quarter.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

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

       On October 1, 1999, five Limited Partners redeemed a total
of  21  Partnership  Units  for $9,179  in  accordance  with  the
Partnership  Agreement.   The Partnership  acquired  these  Units
using Net Cash Flow from operations.  In prior years, a total  of
twenty-one Limited Partners redeemed 163.5 Partnership Units  for
$115,460.    The  redemptions  increase  the  remaining   Limited
Partners ownership interest in the Partnership.

       The continuing rent payments from the properties, together
with  cash generated from the property sales, should be  adequate
to  fund  continuing  distributions and  meet  other  Partnership
obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.

                       PURCHASE AGREEMENT
             Timber Lodge Steakhouse - St. Cloud, MN

This  AGREEMENT, entered into effective as of the 4th of  August,

AEI  Real  Estate  Fund  XV  Limited Partnership  which  owns  an
undivided 30.7940% interest in the fee title to that certain real
property  legally  described in the  attached  Exhibit  "A"  (the
"Entire  Property")  Buyer is VTA Building Company,  a  Minnesota

Partnership  selling an undivided 5.8515% interest) (hereinafter,
simply  the  "Property")  as  Tenant  in  Common  in  the  Entire
Property.


3.  PURCHASE  PRICE  .  The purchase price  for  this  percentage
interest  in  the  Entire  Property is $250,000,  all  cash  (AEI
Institutional  Net  Lease Fund '93 Limited Partnership  receiving

receiving $122,414).

4.  TERMS.  The purchase price for the Property will be  paid  by
Buyer as follows:

     (a)  When this agreement is executed, Buyer will pay  $5,000
     to Seller (which shall be deposited into escrow according to
     the  terms hereof) (the "First Payment"). The First  Payment
     will  be  credited against the purchase price  when  and  if
     escrow closes and the sale is completed.

     (b)  Buyer  will deposit the balance of the purchase  price,
     $245,000  (the  "Second Payment") into escrow in  sufficient
     time to allow escrow to close on the closing date.

5.  CLOSING  DATE.   Escrow shall close on or before  August  13,
1999.

6.  DUE  DILIGENCE. Buyer will have until the expiration  of  the
tenth  business day (The "Review Period") after delivery of  each
of  following items, to be supplied by Seller, to conduct all  of
its  inspections  and due diligence and satisfy itself  regarding
each  item, the Property, and this transaction.  Buyer agrees  to
indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any loss or damage to  the
Entire  Property or persons caused by Buyer or its agents arising
out of such physical inspections of the Entire Property.

     (a)   The  original  and  one  copy  of  a  title  insurance
     commitment  for  an  Owner's  Title  insurance  policy  (see
     paragraph 8 below).

     (b)  A  copy  of  a Certificate of Occupancy or  other  such
     document  certifying completion and granting  permission  to
     permanently  occupy the improvements on the Entire  Property
     as are in Seller's possession.

     (c)  A  copy of an "as built" survey of the Entire  Property
     done concurrent with Seller's acquisition of the Property.

     (d) Lease (as further set forth in paragraph 11(a) below) of
     the Entire Property showing occupancy date, lease expiration
     date, rent, and Guarantys, if any, accompanied by such


     Buyer Initial: /s/ JRK
     Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN


     tenant  financial statements as may have been provided  most
     recently to Seller by the Tenant and/or Guarantors.

It  is a contingency upon Seller's obligations hereunder that two
(2)  copies  of Co-Tenancy Agreement in the form attached  hereto
duly  executed  by  Buyer and AEI Real Estate Fund  XVII  Limited
Partnership and dated on escrow closing date be delivered to  the
Seller on the closing date.

      Buyer may cancel this agreement for ANY REASON in its  sole
discretion  by  delivering a cancellation notice, return  receipt
requested,  to Seller and escrow holder before the expiration  of
the  Review  Period. Such notice shall be deemed  effective  only
upon  receipt  by Seller.  If this Agreement is not cancelled  as
set forth above, the First Payment shall be non-refundable unless
Seller shall default hereunder.

      If  Buyer  cancels this Agreement as permitted  under  this
Section,  except  for  any  escrow  cancellation  fees  and   any
liabilities  under  the first paragraph  of  section  6  of  this
agreement  (which will survive), Buyer (after execution  of  such
documents   reasonably  requested  by  Seller  to  evidence   the
termination  hereof)  shall be returned its  First  Payment,  and
Buyer  will have absolutely no rights, claims or interest of  any
type  in  connection  with  the  Property  or  this  transaction,
regardless of any alleged conduct by Seller or anyone else.

      Unless this Agreement is canceled by Buyer pursuant to  the
terms  hereof, if Buyer fails to make the Second Payment,  Seller
shall   be  entitled  to  retain  the  First  Payment  and  Buyer
irrevocably will be deemed to be in default under this Agreement.
Seller  may, at its option, retain the First Payment and  declare
this Agreement null and void, in which event Buyer will be deemed
to  have canceled this Agreement and relinquish all rights in and
to  the  Property or Seller may exercise its rights under Section
14  hereof.   If  this Agreement is not canceled and  the  Second
Payment  is  made  when required, all of Buyer's  conditions  and
contingencies will be deemed satisfied.

7.  ESCROW. Escrow shall be opened by Seller and funds  deposited
in  escrow upon acceptance of this Agreement by both parties. The
escrow  holder  will  be a nationally-recognized  escrow  company
selected by Seller. A copy of this Agreement will be delivered to
the  escrow holder and will serve as escrow instructions together
with the escrow holder's standard instructions and any additional
instructions required by the escrow holder to clarify its  rights
and  duties  (and  the  parties agree to  sign  these  additional
instructions).  If  there  is any conflict  between  these  other
instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

8.   TITLE.  Closing will be conditioned on the  agreement  of  a
title  company selected by Seller to issue an Owner's  policy  of
title  insurance, dated as of the close of escrow, in  an  amount
equal  to  the  purchase  price, insuring  that  Buyer  will  own
insurable  title  to  the Property subject  only  to:  the  title
company's  standard exceptions;  current real property taxes  and
assessments;  survey  exceptions;  the  rights  of   parties   in
possession pursuant to the lease defined in paragraph  11  below;
and  other  items of record disclosed to Buyer during the  Review
Period.

      Buyer shall be allowed five (5) days after receipt of  said
commitment  for examination and the making of any  objections  to
marketability thereto, said objections to be made in  writing  or
deemed  waived.  If any objections are so made, the Seller  shall
be  allowed eighty (80) days to make such title marketable or  in
the  alternative  to  obtain  a commitment  for  insurable  title
insuring over Buyer's objections.  If Seller shall decide to make
no  efforts to make title marketable, or is unable to make  title
marketable or obtain insurable title, (after execution  by  Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination  hereof) Buyer's First Payment shall be returned  and
this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and
effect.  Seller has no obligation to spend any funds or make  any
effort to satisfy Buyer's objections, if any.


     Buyer Initial: /s/ JRK
     Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN



      Pending  satisfaction of Buyer's objections,  the  payments
hereunder  required shall be postponed, but upon satisfaction  of
Buyer's objections and within ten (10) days after written  notice
of  satisfaction of Buyer's objections to the Buyer, the  parties
shall perform this Agreement according to its terms.

9.   CLOSING COSTS.  Seller will pay one-half of escrow fees, the
cost  of  the  title  commitment and  any  brokerage  commissions
payable.   The  Buyer  will pay the cost of  issuing  a  Standard
Owners  Title Insurance Policy in the full amount of the purchase
price,  if  Buyer shall decide to purchase the same.  Buyer  will
pay all recording fees, one-half of the escrow fees, and the cost
of an update to the Survey in Sellers possession (if an update is
required by Buyer.)  Each party will pay its own attorney's  fees
and costs to document and close this transaction.

10.  REAL ESTATE TAXES, SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND PRORATIONS.

     (a)  Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a
     part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth
     in  paragraph 11(a)(i), the parties acknowledge  that  there
     shall  be no need for a real estate tax proration.  However,
     Seller  represents  that to the best of its  knowledge,  all
     real  estate  taxes and installments of special  assessments
     due  and  payable in all years prior to the year of  Closing
     have been paid in full.  Unpaid real estate taxes and unpaid
     levied and pending special assessments existing on the  date
     of  Closing shall be the responsibility of Buyer and  Seller
     in   proportion  to  their  respective  Tenant   in   Common
     interests,  pro-rated, however, to the date of  closing  for
     the   period   prior  to  closing,  which   shall   be   the
     responsibility of Seller if Tenant shall not pay  the  same.
     Seller  and  Buyer  shall likewise pay  all  taxes  due  and
     payable   in   the  year  after  Closing  and   any   unpaid
     installments  of special assessments payable  therewith  and
     thereafter,  if  such  unpaid  levied  and  pending  special
     assessments and real estate taxes are not paid by any tenant
     of the Entire Property.

     (b)   All income and all operating expenses from the  Entire
     Property  shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted
     by them as of the date of Closing.  Seller shall be entitled
     to  all  income  earned  and shall be  responsible  for  all
     expenses  incurred prior to the date of Closing,  and  Buyer
     shall  be entitled to its proportionate share of all  income
     earned and shall be responsible for its proportionate  share
     of all operating expenses of the Entire Property incurred on
     and after the date of closing.

11.  SELLER'S REPRESENTATION AND AGREEMENTS.

     (a)  Seller represents and warrants as of this date that:

     (i)  Except for the Lease Agreement in existence between AEI
     Real  Estate  Fund XV Limited Partnership, AEI  Real  Estate
     Fund  XVII Limited Partnership, and Institutional Net  Lease
     Fund  '93  Limited  Partnership (as "Landlord")  and  Timber
     Lodge  Steakhouse, Inc. ("Tenant"), dated November 18, 1997,
     Seller  is  not  aware of any leases of the  Property.   The
     above  referenced lease agreement has an option to  purchase
     in  favor of the Tenant as set forth in paragraph 33 of said
     lease agreement.

     (ii)   It  is  not  aware  of  any  pending  litigation   or
     condemnation  proceedings against the Property  or  Seller's
     interest in the Property.

     (iii)   Except  as  previously disclosed  to  Buyer  and  as
     permitted in paragraph (b) below, Seller is not aware of any
     contracts Seller has executed that would be binding on Buyer
     after the closing date.



     Buyer Initial: /s/ JRK
     Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN



     (b)   Provided  that  Buyer performs  its  obligations  when
     required, Seller agrees that it will not enter into any  new
     contracts that would materially affect the Property  and  be
     binding  on  Buyer  after the Closing Date  without  Buyer's
     prior  consent,  which  will not be  unreasonably  withheld.
     However,  Buyer acknowledges that Seller retains  the  right
     both  prior to and after the Closing Date to freely transfer
     all or a portion of Seller's remaining undivided interest in
     the  Entire Property, provided such sale shall not  encumber
     the  Property being purchased by Buyer in violation  of  the
     terms hereof or the contemplated Co-Tenancy Agreement.

12.  DISCLOSURES.

     (a)   Seller  has not received any notice of  any  material,
     physical,  or  mechanical defects of  the  Entire  Property,
     including  without  limitation, the plumbing,  heating,  air
     conditioning, ventilating, electrical system. To the best of
     Seller's  knowledge without inquiry, all such items  are  in
     good  operating condition and repair and in compliance  with
     all  applicable  governmental, zoning, and  land  use  laws,
     ordinances,  regulations and requirements.  If Seller  shall
     receive any notice to the contrary prior to Closing,  Seller
     will inform Buyer prior to Closing.

     (b)   Seller  has not received any notice that the  use  and
     operation  of the Entire Property is not in full  compliance
     with  applicable building codes, safety, fire,  zoning,  and
     land use laws, and other applicable local, state and federal
     laws,  ordinances, regulations and requirements.  If  Seller
     shall  receive any notice to the contrary prior to  Closing,
     Seller will inform Buyer prior to Closing.

     (c)   Seller  knows  of no facts nor has  Seller  failed  to
     disclose  to  Buyer  any fact known to  Seller  which  would
     prevent  the  Tenant  from using and  operating  the  Entire
     Property after the Closing in the manner in which the Entire
     Property  has been used and operated prior to  the  date  of
     this  Agreement.  If Seller shall receive any notice to  the
     contrary prior to Closing, Seller will inform Buyer prior to
     Closing.

     (d)   Seller  has  not received any notice that  the  Entire
     Property is in violation of any federal, state or local law,
     ordinance, or regulations relating to industrial hygiene  or
     the  environmental conditions on, under, or about the Entire
     Property,   including,  but  not  limited  to,   soil,   and
     groundwater conditions.  To the best of Seller's  knowledge,
     there  is  no  proceeding  or inquiry  by  any  governmental
     authority   with  respect  to  the  presence  of   Hazardous
     Materials  on  the  Entire  Property  or  the  migration  of
     Hazardous Materials from or to other property.  Buyer agrees
     that  Seller will have no liability of any type to Buyer  or
     Buyer's  successors,  assigns, or affiliates  in  connection
     with  any  Hazardous Materials on or in connection with  the
     Entire  Property  either before or after the  Closing  Date,
     except such Hazardous Materials on or in connection with the
     Entire Property arising out of Seller's gross negligence  or
     intentional misconduct.  If Seller shall receive any  notice
     to  the contrary prior to Closing, Seller will inform  Buyer
     prior to Closing.

     (e)   Buyer agrees that it shall be purchasing the  Property
     in  its  then present condition, as is, where is, and Seller
     has  no  obligations to construct or repair any improvements
     thereon  or to perform any other act regarding the Property,
     except as expressly provided herein.

     (f)    Buyer  acknowledges  that,  having  been  given   the
     opportunity  to  inspect  the  Entire  Property   and   such
     financial  information on the Lessee and Guarantors  of  the
     Lease as Buyer or its advisors shall request, if in Seller's
     possession, Buyer is relying solely on its own investigation
     of  the  Property  and  not on any information  provided  by
     Seller or to be provided except as set forth herein.   Buyer
     further acknowledges that the information provided and to be
     provided by Seller with respect to the Property, the  Entire

     and  to the Lessee and Guarantors of Lease was obtained from
     a  variety  of  sources  and Seller  neither  (a)  has  made
     independent   investigation   or   verification   of    such
     information,  or  (b) makes any representations  as  to  the
     accuracy  or  completeness  of such  information  except  as
     herein set forth.  The sale of the Property as provided  for
     herein  is  made  on an "AS IS" basis, and  Buyer  expressly

     suitability  for  commercial purposes,  merchantability,  or
     fitness  for  a  particular  purpose,  in  respect  of   the
     Property.

     The provisions (d) - (f) above shall survive Closing.

13.  CLOSING.

     (a)   Before  the  closing date, Seller  will  deposit  into

     against  lawful  claims by, through, or under  a  conveyance
     from   Seller,  but  not  further  or  otherwise,  conveying
     insurable  title of the Property to Buyer,  subject  to  the
     exceptions contained in paragraph 8 above.

     (b)   On or before the closing date, Buyer will deposit into
     escrow:  the  balance  of the purchase price  when  required
     under  Section  4; any additional funds required  of  Buyer,
     (pursuant to this agreement or any other agreement  executed
     by  Buyer)  to  close escrow.  Both parties  will  sign  and
     deliver  to the escrow holder any other documents reasonably
     required by the escrow holder to close escrow.

     (c)   On  the  closing date, if escrow is in a  position  to
     close,  the  escrow  holder will: record  the  deed  in  the
     official  records  of  the  county  where  the  Property  is
     located;  cause  the title company to commit  to  issue  the
     title  policy; immediately deliver to Seller the portion  of
     the  purchase price deposited into escrow by cashier's check
     or  wire  transfer  (less debits and  prorations,  if  any);

     escrow  holder's certified closing statement  and  take  all
     other actions necessary to close escrow.

and  claims  and  Seller will be relieved of all obligations  and
will  be  entitled to retain all monies heretofore  paid  by  the
Buyer.   In  addition, Seller shall retain all remedies available
to Seller at law or in equity.

     If Seller shall default, Buyer irrevocably waives any rights
to file a lis pendens, a specific performance action or any other
claim,  action or proceeding of any type in connection  with  the
Property or this or any other transaction involving the Property,
and  will  not  do  anything to affect title to the  Property  or
hinder,  delay  or  prevent  any  other  sale,  lease  or   other
transaction involving the Property (any and all of which will  be
null  and void), unless: it has paid the First Payment, deposited
the  balance  of the Second Payment for the purchase  price  into
escrow, performed all of its other obligations and satisfied  all
conditions  under  this  Agreement, and unconditionally  notified
Seller  that it stands ready to tender full performance, purchase
the  Property and close escrow as per this Agreement,  regardless
of  any  alleged  default  or misconduct  by  Seller.   Provided,
however, that in no event shall Seller be liable for any  actual,
punitive, consequential or speculative damages arising out of any
default by Seller hereunder.

15.  BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

     a.  Buyer represents and warrants to Seller as follows:


     Buyer Initial: /s/ JRK
     Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN






     (i)   In  addition to the acts and deeds recited herein  and
     contemplated  to  be performed, executed, and  delivered  by
     Buyer, Buyer shall perform, execute and deliver or cause  to
     be  performed,  executed, and delivered at  the  Closing  or
     after  the  Closing,  any and all further  acts,  deeds  and
     assurances as Seller or the Title Company may require and be
     reasonable   in   order  to  consummate   the   transactions
     contemplated herein.

     (ii)   Buyer  has  all  requisite  power  and  authority  to
     consummate  the  transaction contemplated by this  Agreement
     and  has by proper proceedings duly authorized the execution
     and  delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of  the
     transaction contemplated hereby.

     (iii)   To  Buyer's  knowledge, neither  the  execution  and
     delivery  of  this  Agreement nor the  consummation  of  the
     transaction  contemplated  hereby  will  violate  or  be  in
     conflict with (a) any applicable provisions of law, (b)  any
     order  of  any  court or other agency of  government  having
     jurisdiction  hereof, or (c) any agreement or instrument  to
     which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer is bound.

16.  DAMAGES, DESTRUCTION AND EMINENT DOMAIN.

     (a)   If, prior to closing, the Property or any part thereof
     be  destroyed  or further damaged by fire, the elements,  or
     any cause, due to events occurring subsequent to the date of
     this Agreement to the extent that the cost of repair exceeds
     $10,000.00,  this Agreement shall become null and  void,  at
     Buyer's  option exercised, if at all, by written  notice  to
     Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer has received written
     notice  from Seller of said destruction or damage.   Seller,
     however,  shall  have  the right to  adjust  or  settle  any
     insured  loss  until  (i)  all contingencies  set  forth  in
     Paragraph 6 hereof have been satisfied, or waived; and  (ii)
     any  ten-day  period provided for above in this Subparagraph
     16a  for  Buyer  to  elect to terminate this  Agreement  has
     expired  or  Buyer has, by written notice to Seller,  waived
     Buyer's right to terminate this Agreement.  If Buyer  elects
     to  proceed  and  to  consummate the purchase  despite  said
     damage  or  destruction, there shall be no reduction  in  or
     abatement of the purchase price, and Seller shall assign  to
     Buyer the Seller's right, title, and interest in and to  all
     insurance  proceeds  (pro-rata in  relation  to  the  Entire
     Property) resulting from said damage or destruction  to  the
     extent  that the same are payable with respect to damage  to
     the  Property, subject to rights of any Tenant of the Entire
     Property.

     If  the cost of repair is less than $10,000.00, Buyer  shall
     be  obligated  to  otherwise  perform  hereinunder  with  no
     adjustment  to  the Purchase Price, reduction or  abatement,
     and  Seller shall assign Seller's right, title and  interest
     in and to all insurance proceeds pro-rata in relation to the
     Entire  Property,  subject to rights of any  Tenant  of  the
     Entire Property.

     (b)   If,  prior  to  closing, the  Property,  or  any  part
     thereof,  is  taken by eminent domain, this Agreement  shall
     become null and void, at Buyer's option.  If Buyer elects to
     proceed  and to consummate the purchase despite said taking,
     there  shall  be  no  reduction in,  or  abatement  of,  the
     purchase  price,  and  Seller  shall  assign  to  Buyer  the
     Seller's  right,  title, and interest in and  to  any  award
     made, or to be made, in the condemnation proceeding pro-rata
     in relation to the Entire Property, subject to rights of any
     Tenant of the Entire Property.

      In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer  as
provided  above  in  Subparagraph 16a or 16b, the  First  Payment
shall  be immediately returned to Buyer (after execution by Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination hereof).

17.  BUYER'S 1031 TAX FREE EXCHANGE.

      While  Seller  acknowledges that Buyer  is  purchasing  the
Property  as  "replacement property" to  accomplish  a  tax  free
exchange,   Buyer   acknowledges  that   Seller   has   made   no
representations,  warranties, or agreements to Buyer  or  Buyer's
agents  that  the transaction contemplated by the Agreement  will
qualify  for such tax treatment, nor has there been any  reliance
thereon by Buyer respecting the legal or tax implications of  the
transactions contemplated hereby.  Buyer further represents  that
it has sought and obtained such third party advice and counsel as
it  deems  necessary in regards to the tax implications  of  this
transaction.

      Buyer  wishes  to  novate/assign the ownership  rights  and
interest of this Purchase Agreement to Dakota County Abstract and
Title which will act as Accommodator to perfect the 1031 exchange
by  preparing  an agreement of exchange of Real Property  whereby
Dakota  County  Abstract and Title  will be an independent  third
party purchasing the ownership interest in subject property  from
Seller and selling the ownership interest in subject property  to
Buyer  under the same terms and conditions as documented in  this
Purchase Agreement.  Buyer asks the Seller, and Seller agrees  to
cooperate  in  the  perfection of  such  an  exchange  if  at  no
additional  cost or expense to Seller or delay  in  time.   Buyer
hereby  indemnifies  and holds Seller harmless  from  any  claims
and/or  actions  resulting from said exchange.  Pursuant  to  the
direction  of Dakota County Abstract and Title, Seller will  deed
the Property to Buyer.

18.  CANCELLATION

     If  any party elects to cancel this Contract because of  any
     breach by another party or because escrow fails to close  by
     the  agreed date, the party electing to cancel shall deliver
     to escrow agent a notice containing the address of the party
     in  breach and stating that this Contract shall be cancelled
     unless  the  breach  is cured within 10 days  following  the
     delivery  of  the notice to the escrow agent.  Within  three
     days  after  receipt of such notice, the escrow agent  shall
     send it by United States Mail to the party in breach at  the
     address contained in the Notice and no further notice  shall
     be  required. If the breach is not cured within the 10  days
     following  the  delivery of the notice to the escrow  agent,
     this Contract shall be cancelled.

19.  MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a)  This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement
     signed by both Seller and Buyer, and all waivers must be  in
     writing  and signed by the waiving party.  Time  is  of  the
     essence.   This  Agreement  will not  be  construed  for  or
     against  a party whether or not that party has drafted  this
     Agreement.  If there is any action or proceeding between the
     parties relating to this Agreement the prevailing party will
     be  entitled to recover attorney's fees and costs.  This  is
     an  integrated  agreement containing all agreements  of  the
     parties  about the Property and the other matters described,
     and  it  supersedes any other agreements or  understandings.
     Exhibits  attached  to this Agreement are incorporated  into
     this Agreement.

     (b)   If  this  escrow has not closed by  August  13,  1999,
     through  no  fault  of Seller, Seller  may  either,  at  its
     election,  extend  the closing date or exercise  any  remedy
     available   to   it  by  law,  including  terminating   this
     Agreement.

     (c)  Funds to be deposited or paid by Buyer must be good and
     clear  funds in the form of cash, cashier's checks  or  wire
     transfers.

     (d)   All notices from either of the parties hereto  to  the
     other  shall be in writing and shall be considered  to  have
     been  duly  given or served if sent by first class certified
     mail,  return receipt requested, postage prepaid,  or  by  a
     nationally recognized courier service guaranteeing overnight
     delivery to the party at his or its address set forth below,

     Buyer Initial: /s/ KC
     Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN

It  is a contingency upon Seller's obligations hereunder that two
(2)  copies  of Co-Tenancy Agreement in the form attached  hereto
duly  executed  by  Buyer and AEI Real Estate Fund  XVII  Limited
Partnership and dated on escrow closing date be delivered to  the
Seller on the closing date.

      Buyer may cancel this agreement for ANY REASON in its  sole
discretion  by  delivering a cancellation notice, return  receipt
requested,  to Seller and escrow holder before the expiration  of
the  Review  Period. Such notice shall be deemed  effective  only
upon  receipt  by Seller.  If this Agreement is not cancelled  as
set forth above, the First Payment shall be non-refundable unless
Seller shall default hereunder.

      If  Buyer  cancels this Agreement as permitted  under  this
Section,  except  for  any  escrow  cancellation  fees  and   any
liabilities  under  the first paragraph  of  section  6  of  this
agreement  (which will survive), Buyer (after execution  of  such
documents   reasonably  requested  by  Seller  to  evidence   the
termination  hereof)  shall be returned its  First  Payment,  and
Buyer  will have absolutely no rights, claims or interest of  any
type  in  connection  with  the  Property  or  this  transaction,
regardless of any alleged conduct by Seller or anyone else.

      Unless this Agreement is canceled by Buyer pursuant to  the
terms  hereof, if Buyer fails to make the Second Payment,  Seller
shall   be  entitled  to  retain  the  First  Payment  and  Buyer
irrevocably will be deemed to be in default under this Agreement.
Seller  may, at its option, retain the First Payment and  declare
this Agreement null and void, in which event Buyer will be deemed
to  have canceled this Agreement and relinquish all rights in and
to  the  Property or Seller may exercise its rights under Section
14  hereof.   If  this Agreement is not canceled and  the  Second
Payment  is  made  when required, all of Buyer's  conditions  and
contingencies will be deemed satisfied.

7.  ESCROW. Escrow shall be opened by Seller and funds  deposited
in  escrow upon acceptance of this Agreement by both parties. The
escrow  holder  will  be a nationally-recognized  escrow  company
selected by Seller. A copy of this Agreement will be delivered to
the  escrow holder and will serve as escrow instructions together
with the escrow holder's standard instructions and any additional
instructions required by the escrow holder to clarify its  rights
and  duties  (and  the  parties agree to  sign  these  additional
instructions).  If  there  is any conflict  between  these  other
instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

8.   TITLE.  Closing will be conditioned on the  agreement  of  a
title  company selected by Seller to issue an Owner's  policy  of
title  insurance, dated as of the close of escrow, in  an  amount
equal  to  the  purchase  price, insuring  that  Buyer  will  own
insurable  title  to  the Property subject  only  to:  the  title
company's  standard exceptions;  current real property taxes  and
assessments;  survey  exceptions;  the  rights  of   parties   in
possession pursuant to the lease defined in paragraph  11  below;
and  other  items of record disclosed to Buyer during the  Review
Period.

      Buyer shall be allowed five (5) days after receipt of  said
commitment  for examination and the making of any  objections  to
marketability thereto, said objections to be made in  writing  or
deemed  waived.  If any objections are so made, the Seller  shall
be  allowed eighty (80) days to make such title marketable or  in
the  alternative  to  obtain  a commitment  for  insurable  title
insuring over Buyer's objections.  If Seller shall decide to make
no  efforts to make title marketable, or is unable to make  title
marketable or obtain insurable title, (after execution  by  Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination  hereof) Buyer's First Payment shall be returned  and
this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and
effect.  Seller has no obligation to spend any funds or make  any
effort to satisfy Buyer's objections, if any.

      Pending  satisfaction of Buyer's objections,  the  payments
hereunder  required shall be postponed, but upon satisfaction  of
Buyer's objections and within ten (10) days after written



     Buyer Initial: /s/ KC
     Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN




notice  of  satisfaction of Buyer's objections to the Buyer,  the
parties shall perform this Agreement according to its terms.

9.   CLOSING COSTS.  Seller will pay one-half of escrow fees, the
cost  of  the  title  commitment and  any  brokerage  commissions
payable.   The  Buyer  will pay the cost of  issuing  a  Standard
Owners  Title Insurance Policy in the full amount of the purchase
price,  if  Buyer shall decide to purchase the same.  Buyer  will
pay all recording fees, one-half of the escrow fees, and the cost
of an update to the Survey in Sellers possession (if an update is
required by Buyer.)  Each party will pay its own attorney's  fees
and costs to document and close this transaction.

10.  REAL ESTATE TAXES, SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND PRORATIONS.

     (a)  Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a
     part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth
     in  paragraph 11(a)(i), the parties acknowledge  that  there
     shall  be no need for a real estate tax proration.  However,
     Seller  represents  that to the best of its  knowledge,  all
     real  estate  taxes and installments of special  assessments
     due  and  payable in all years prior to the year of  Closing
     have been paid in full.  Unpaid real estate taxes and unpaid
     levied and pending special assessments existing on the  date
     of  Closing shall be the responsibility of Buyer and  Seller
     in   proportion  to  their  respective  Tenant   in   Common
     interests,  pro-rated, however, to the date of  closing  for
     the   period   prior  to  closing,  which   shall   be   the
     responsibility of Seller if Tenant shall not pay  the  same.
     Seller  and  Buyer  shall likewise pay  all  taxes  due  and
     payable   in   the  year  after  Closing  and   any   unpaid
     installments  of special assessments payable  therewith  and
     thereafter,  if  such  unpaid  levied  and  pending  special
     assessments and real estate taxes are not paid by any tenant
     of the Entire Property.

     (b)   All income and all operating expenses from the  Entire
     Property  shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted
     by them as of the date of Closing.  Seller shall be entitled

     Fund  '93  Limited  Partnership (as "Landlord")  and  Timber
     Lodge  Steakhouse, Inc. ("Tenant"), dated November 18, 1997,

     condemnation  proceedings against the Property  or  Seller's
     interest in the Property.

     (iii)   Except  as  previously disclosed  to  Buyer  and  as
     permitted in paragraph (b) below, Seller is not aware of any
     contracts Seller has executed that would be binding on Buyer
     after the closing date.

     (b)   Provided  that  Buyer performs  its  obligations  when
     required, Seller agrees that it will not enter into any  new
     contracts that would materially affect the Property  and  be
     binding  on  Buyer  after the Closing Date  without  Buyer's
     prior  consent,  which  will not be  unreasonably  withheld.
     However,  Buyer acknowledges that Seller retains  the  right
     both



     Buyer Initial: /s/ KC
     Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN




     prior  to and after the Closing Date to freely transfer  all
     or a portion of Seller's remaining undivided interest in the
     Entire  Property, provided such sale shall not encumber  the
     Property being purchased by Buyer in violation of the  terms
     hereof or the contemplated Co-Tenancy Agreement.

12.  DISCLOSURES.

     (a)   Seller  has not received any notice of  any  material,
     physical,  or  mechanical defects of  the  Entire  Property,
     including  without  limitation, the plumbing,  heating,  air
     conditioning, ventilating, electrical system. To the best of
     Seller's  knowledge without inquiry, all such items  are  in
     good  operating condition and repair and in compliance  with
     all  applicable  governmental, zoning, and  land  use  laws,
     ordinances,  regulations and requirements.  If Seller  shall
     receive any notice to the contrary prior to Closing,  Seller
     will inform Buyer prior to Closing.

     (b)   Seller  has not received any notice that the  use  and
     operation  of the Entire Property is not in full  compliance
     with  applicable building codes, safety, fire,  zoning,  and
     land use laws, and other applicable local, state and federal
     laws,  ordinances, regulations and requirements.  If  Seller
     shall  receive any notice to the contrary prior to  Closing,
     Seller will inform Buyer prior to Closing.

     (c)   Seller  knows  of no facts nor has  Seller  failed  to
     disclose  to  Buyer  any fact known to  Seller  which  would
     prevent  the  Tenant  from using and  operating  the  Entire
     Property after the Closing in the manner in which the Entire
     Property  has been used and operated prior to  the  date  of
     this  Agreement.  If Seller shall receive any notice to  the
     contrary prior to Closing, Seller will inform Buyer prior to
     Closing.

     (d)   Seller  has  not received any notice that  the  Entire
     Property is in violation of any federal, state or local law,
     ordinance, or regulations relating to industrial hygiene  or
     the  environmental conditions on, under, or about the Entire
     Property,   including,  but  not  limited  to,   soil,   and
     groundwater conditions.  To the best of Seller's  knowledge,
     there  is  no  proceeding  or inquiry  by  any  governmental
     authority   with  respect  to  the  presence  of   Hazardous
     Materials  on  the  Entire  Property  or  the  migration  of
     Hazardous Materials from or to other property.  Buyer agrees
     that  Seller will have no liability of any type to Buyer  or
     Buyer's  successors,  assigns, or affiliates  in  connection
     with  any  Hazardous Materials on or in connection with  the
     Entire  Property  either before or after the  Closing  Date,
     except such Hazardous Materials on or in connection with the
     Entire Property arising out of Seller's gross negligence  or
     intentional misconduct.  If Seller shall receive any  notice
     to  the contrary prior to Closing, Seller will inform  Buyer
     prior to Closing.

     (e)   Buyer agrees that it shall be purchasing the  Property
     in  its  then present condition, as is, where is, and Seller
     has  no  obligations to construct or repair any improvements
     thereon  or to perform any other act regarding the Property,
     except as expressly provided herein.

     (f)    Buyer  acknowledges  that,  having  been  given   the
     opportunity  to  inspect  the  Entire  Property   and   such
     financial  information on the Lessee and Guarantors  of  the
     Lease as Buyer or its advisors shall request, if in Seller's
     possession, Buyer is relying solely on its own investigation
     of  the  Property  and  not on any information  provided  by
     Seller or to be provided except as set forth herein.   Buyer
     further acknowledges that the information provided and to be
     provided by Seller with respect to the Property, the  Entire
     Property  and  to  the Lessee and Guarantors  of  Lease  was
     obtained  from a variety of sources and Seller  neither  (a)
     has  made independent investigation or verification of  such
     information,  or  (b) makes any representations  as  to  the
     accuracy  or  completeness  of such  information  except  as
     herein set forth.  The sale of the Property as provided  for
     herein is made on an



     Buyer Initial: /s/ KC
     Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN




     "AS  IS"  basis, and Buyer expressly acknowledges  that,  in
     consideration of the agreements of Seller herein, except  as
     otherwise specified herein in paragraph 11(a) and (b)  above
     and   this  paragraph  12,  Seller  makes  no  Warranty   or
     representation, Express or Implied, or arising by  operation
     of  law,  including,  but not limited to,  any  warranty  of
     condition,  habitability,  tenantability,  suitability   for
     commercial  purposes,  merchantability,  or  fitness  for  a
     particular purpose, in respect of the Property.

     The provisions (d) - (f) above shall survive Closing.

13.  CLOSING.

     (a)   Before  the  closing date, Seller  will  deposit  into
     escrow  an  executed special warranty deed warranting  title
     against  lawful  claims by, through, or under  a  conveyance
     from   Seller,  but  not  further  or  otherwise,  conveying
     insurable  title of the Property to Buyer,  subject  to  the
     exceptions contained in paragraph 8 above.

     (b)   On or before the closing date, Buyer will deposit into

     deliver  to the escrow holder any other documents reasonably
     required by the escrow holder to close escrow.

     (c)   On  the  closing date, if escrow is in a  position  to
     close,  the  escrow  holder will: record  the  deed  in  the
     official  records  of  the  county  where  the  Property  is
     located;  cause  the title company to commit  to  issue  the

and  claims  and  Seller will be relieved of all obligations  and
will  be  entitled to retain all monies heretofore  paid  by  the
Buyer.   In  addition, Seller shall retain all remedies available
to Seller at law or in equity.

     If Seller shall default, Buyer irrevocably waives any rights
to file a lis pendens, a specific performance action or any other
claim,  action or proceeding of any type in connection  with  the
Property or this or any other transaction involving the Property,
and  will  not  do  anything to affect title to the  Property  or
hinder,  delay  or  prevent  any  other  sale,  lease  or   other
transaction involving the Property (any and all of which will  be
null  and void), unless: it has paid the First Payment, deposited
the  balance  of the Second Payment for the purchase  price  into
escrow, performed all of its other obligations and satisfied  all
conditions  under  this  Agreement, and unconditionally  notified
Seller  that it stands ready to tender full performance, purchase
the  Property and close escrow as per this Agreement,  regardless
of  any  alleged  default  or misconduct  by  Seller.   Provided,
however, that in no event shall Seller be liable for any  actual,
punitive, consequential or speculative damages arising out of any
default by Seller hereunder.

15.  BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

     (i)   In  addition to the acts and deeds recited herein  and
     contemplated  to  be performed, executed, and  delivered  by
     Buyer, Buyer shall perform, execute and deliver or cause  to
     be  performed,  executed, and delivered at  the  Closing  or
     after  the  Closing,  any and all further  acts,  deeds  and

     Buyer Initial: /s/ KC
     Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN




     (ii)   Buyer  has  all  requisite  power  and  authority  to
     consummate  the  transaction contemplated by this  Agreement
     and  has by proper proceedings duly authorized the execution
     and  delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of  the
     transaction contemplated hereby.

     (iii)   To  Buyer's  knowledge, neither  the  execution  and
     delivery  of  this  Agreement nor the  consummation  of  the
     transaction  contemplated  hereby  will  violate  or  be  in
     conflict with (a) any applicable provisions of law, (b)  any
     order  of  any  court or other agency of  government  having
     jurisdiction  hereof, or (c) any agreement or instrument  to
     which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer is bound.

16.  DAMAGES, DESTRUCTION AND EMINENT DOMAIN.

     (a)   If, prior to closing, the Property or any part thereof
     be  destroyed  or further damaged by fire, the elements,  or
     any cause, due to events occurring subsequent to the date of
     this Agreement to the extent that the cost of repair exceeds
     $10,000.00,  this Agreement shall become null and  void,  at
     Buyer's  option exercised, if at all, by written  notice  to
     Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer has received written
     notice  from Seller of said destruction or damage.   Seller,
     however,  shall  have  the right to  adjust  or  settle  any
     insured  loss  until  (i)  all contingencies  set  forth  in
     Paragraph 6 hereof have been satisfied, or waived; and  (ii)
     any  ten-day  period provided for above in this Subparagraph
     16a  for  Buyer  to  elect to terminate this  Agreement  has
     expired  or  Buyer has, by written notice to Seller,  waived
     Buyer's right to terminate this Agreement.  If Buyer  elects
     to  proceed  and  to  consummate the purchase  despite  said
     damage  or  destruction, there shall be no reduction  in  or
     abatement of the purchase price, and Seller shall assign  to
     Buyer the Seller's right, title, and interest in and to  all
     insurance  proceeds  (pro-rata in  relation  to  the  Entire
     Property) resulting from said damage or destruction  to  the
     extent  that the same are payable with respect to damage  to
     the  Property, subject to rights of any Tenant of the Entire
     Property.

     If  the cost of repair is less than $10,000.00, Buyer  shall
     be  obligated  to  otherwise  perform  hereinunder  with  no
     adjustment  to  the Purchase Price, reduction or  abatement,
     and  Seller shall assign Seller's right, title and  interest
     in and to all insurance proceeds pro-rata in relation to the
     Entire  Property,  subject to rights of any  Tenant  of  the
     Entire Property.

     (b)   If,  prior  to  closing, the  Property,  or  any  part
     thereof,  is  taken by eminent domain, this Agreement  shall
     become null and void, at Buyer's option.  If Buyer elects to
     proceed  and to consummate the purchase despite said taking,
     there  shall  be  no  reduction in,  or  abatement  of,  the
     purchase  price,  and  Seller  shall  assign  to  Buyer  the
     Seller's  right,  title, and interest in and  to  any  award
     made, or to be made, in the condemnation proceeding pro-rata
     in relation to the Entire Property, subject to rights of any
     Tenant of the Entire Property.

      In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer  as
provided  above  in  Subparagraph 16a or 16b, the  First  Payment
shall  be immediately returned to Buyer (after execution by Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination hereof).

17.  BUYER'S 1031 TAX FREE EXCHANGE.

      While  Seller  acknowledges that Buyer  is  purchasing  the
Property  as  "replacement property" to  accomplish  a  tax  free
exchange,   Buyer   acknowledges  that   Seller   has   made   no
representations,  warranties, or agreements to Buyer  or  Buyer's
agents  that  the transaction contemplated by the Agreement  will
qualify  for such tax treatment, nor has there been any  reliance
thereon by Buyer respecting the legal or tax implications of  the
transactions


     Buyer Initial: /s/ KC
     Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN




contemplated hereby.  Buyer further represents that it has sought
and  obtained  such third party advice and counsel  as  it  deems
necessary in regards to the tax implications of this transaction.

interest  of  this Purchase Agreement to First American  Exchange

purchasing the ownership interest in subject property from Seller
and  selling the ownership interest in subject property to  Buyer
under  the  same  terms  and conditions  as  documented  in  this
Purchase Agreement.  Buyer asks the Seller, and Seller agrees  to
cooperate  in  the  perfection of  such  an  exchange  if  at  no
additional  cost or expense to Seller or delay  in  time.   Buyer
hereby  indemnifies  and holds Seller harmless  from  any  claims
and/or  actions  resulting from said exchange.  Pursuant  to  the
direction of First American Exchange Corp., Seller will deed  the
Property to Buyer.

18.  CANCELLATION

     If  any party elects to cancel this Contract because of  any
     breach by another party or because escrow fails to close  by
     the  agreed date, the party electing to cancel shall deliver
     to escrow agent a notice containing the address of the party
     in  breach and stating that this Contract shall be cancelled
     unless  the  breach  is cured within 10 days  following  the
     delivery  of  the notice to the escrow agent.  Within  three
     days  after  receipt of such notice, the escrow agent  shall
     send it by United States Mail to the party in breach at  the
     address contained in the Notice and no further notice  shall
     be  required. If the breach is not cured within the 10  days
     following  the  delivery of the notice to the escrow  agent,
     this Contract shall be cancelled.

19.  MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a)  This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement
     signed by both Seller and Buyer, and all waivers must be  in
     writing  and signed by the waiving party.  Time  is  of  the
     essence.   This  Agreement  will not  be  construed  for  or

duly  executed  by  Buyer and AEI Real Estate Fund  XVII  Limited
Partnership and dated on escrow closing date be delivered to  the
Seller on the closing date.

      Buyer may cancel this agreement for ANY REASON in its  sole
discretion  by  delivering a cancellation notice, return  receipt
requested,  to Seller and escrow holder before the expiration  of
the  Review  Period. Such notice shall be deemed  effective  only
upon  receipt  by Seller.  If this Agreement is not cancelled  as

Seller shall default hereunder.

      If  Buyer  cancels this Agreement as permitted  under  this
Section,  except  for  any  escrow  cancellation  fees  and   any
liabilities  under  the first paragraph  of  section  6  of  this
agreement  (which will survive), Buyer (after execution  of  such

termination  hereof)  shall be returned its  First  Payment,  and
Buyer  will have absolutely no rights, claims or interest of  any
type  in  connection  with  the  Property  or  this  transaction,

Payment  is  made  when required, all of Buyer's  conditions  and
contingencies will be deemed satisfied.

7.  ESCROW. Escrow shall be opened by Seller and funds  deposited
in  escrow upon acceptance of this Agreement by both parties. The
escrow  holder  will  be a nationally-recognized  escrow  company
selected by Seller. A copy of this Agreement will be delivered to
the  escrow holder and will serve as escrow instructions together
with the escrow holder's standard instructions and any additional
instructions required by the escrow holder to clarify its  rights
and  duties  (and  the  parties agree to  sign  these  additional
instructions).  If  there  is any conflict  between  these  other
instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

8.   TITLE.  Closing will be conditioned on the  agreement  of  a
title  company selected by Seller to issue an Owner's  policy  of
title  insurance, dated as of the close of escrow, in  an  amount
equal  to  the  purchase  price, insuring  that  Buyer  will  own
insurable  title  to  the Property subject  only  to:  the  title
company's  standard exceptions;  current real property taxes  and
assessments;  survey  exceptions;  the  rights  of   parties   in
possession pursuant to the lease defined in paragraph  11  below;
and  other  items of record disclosed to Buyer during the  Review
Period.

      Buyer shall be allowed five (5) days after receipt of  said
commitment  for examination and the making of any  objections  to
marketability thereto, said objections to be made in  writing  or
deemed  waived.  If any objections are so made, the Seller  shall
be  allowed eighty (80) days to make such title marketable or  in
the  alternative  to  obtain  a commitment  for  insurable  title
insuring over Buyer's objections.  If Seller shall decide to make
no  efforts to make title marketable, or is unable to make  title
marketable or obtain insurable title, (after execution  by  Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination  hereof) Buyer's First Payment shall be returned  and
this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and
effect.  Seller has no obligation to spend any funds or make  any
effort to satisfy Buyer's objections, if any.

      Pending  satisfaction of Buyer's objections,  the  payments
hereunder  required shall be postponed, but upon satisfaction  of
Buyer's objections and within ten (10) days after written


Buyer Initial: /s/ KDH
Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN




notice  of  satisfaction of Buyer's objections to the Buyer,  the
parties shall perform this Agreement according to its terms.

9.   CLOSING COSTS.  Seller will pay one-half of escrow fees, the
cost  of  the  title  commitment and  any  brokerage  commissions
payable.   The  Buyer  will pay the cost of  issuing  a  Standard
Owners  Title Insurance Policy in the full amount of the purchase
price,  if  Buyer shall decide to purchase the same.  Buyer  will
pay all recording fees, one-half of the escrow fees, and the cost
of an update to the Survey in Sellers possession (if an update is
required by Buyer.)  Each party will pay its own attorney's  fees
and costs to document and close this transaction.

10.  REAL ESTATE TAXES, SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND PRORATIONS.

     (a)  Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a
     part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth
     in  paragraph 11(a)(i), the parties acknowledge  that  there
     shall  be no need for a real estate tax proration.  However,
     Seller  represents  that to the best of its  knowledge,  all
     real  estate  taxes and installments of special  assessments
     due  and  payable in all years prior to the year of  Closing
     have been paid in full.  Unpaid real estate taxes and unpaid
     levied and pending special assessments existing on the  date
     of  Closing shall be the responsibility of Buyer and  Seller
     in   proportion  to  their  respective  Tenant   in   Common
     interests,  pro-rated, however, to the date of  closing  for
     the   period   prior  to  closing,  which   shall   be   the
     responsibility of Seller if Tenant shall not pay  the  same.
     Seller  and  Buyer  shall likewise pay  all  taxes  due  and
     payable   in   the  year  after  Closing  and   any   unpaid
     installments  of special assessments payable  therewith  and
     thereafter,  if  such  unpaid  levied  and  pending  special
     assessments and real estate taxes are not paid by any tenant
     of the Entire Property.

     (b)   All income and all operating expenses from the  Entire
     Property  shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted
     by them as of the date of Closing.  Seller shall be entitled
     to  all  income  earned  and shall be  responsible  for  all
     expenses  incurred prior to the date of Closing,  and  Buyer
     shall  be entitled to its proportionate share of all  income
     earned and shall be responsible for its proportionate  share
     of all operating expenses of the Entire Property incurred on
     and after the date of closing.

11.  SELLER'S REPRESENTATION AND AGREEMENTS.

     (a)  Seller represents and warrants as of this date that:

     (i)  Except for the Lease Agreement in existence between AEI
     Real  Estate  Fund XV Limited Partnership, AEI  Real  Estate
     Fund  XVII Limited Partnership, and Institutional Net  Lease
     Fund  '93  Limited  Partnership (as "Landlord")  and  Timber
     Lodge  Steakhouse, Inc. ("Tenant"), dated November 18, 1997,
     Seller  is  not  aware of any leases of the  Property.   The
     above  referenced lease agreement has an option to  purchase
     in  favor of the Tenant as set forth in paragraph 33 of said
     lease agreement.

     (ii)   It  is  not  aware  of  any  pending  litigation   or
     condemnation  proceedings against the Property  or  Seller's
     interest in the Property.

     (iii)   Except  as  previously disclosed  to  Buyer  and  as
     permitted in paragraph (b) below, Seller is not aware of any
     contracts Seller has executed that would be binding on Buyer
     after the closing date.

     (b)   Provided  that  Buyer performs  its  obligations  when
     required, Seller agrees that it will not enter into any  new
     contracts that would materially affect the Property  and  be
     binding  on  Buyer  after the Closing Date  without  Buyer's
     prior  consent,  which  will not be  unreasonably  withheld.
     However,  Buyer acknowledges that Seller retains  the  right
     both



Buyer Initial: /s/ KDH
Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN




     prior  to and after the Closing Date to freely transfer  all
     or a portion of Seller's remaining undivided interest in the
     Entire  Property, provided such sale shall not encumber  the
     Property being purchased by Buyer in violation of the  terms
     hereof or the contemplated Co-Tenancy Agreement.

12.  DISCLOSURES.

     (a)   Seller  has not received any notice of  any  material,
     physical,  or  mechanical defects of  the  Entire  Property,
     including  without  limitation, the plumbing,  heating,  air
     conditioning, ventilating, electrical system. To the best of
     Seller's  knowledge without inquiry, all such items  are  in
     good  operating condition and repair and in compliance  with
     all  applicable  governmental, zoning, and  land  use  laws,
     ordinances,  regulations and requirements.  If Seller  shall
     receive any notice to the contrary prior to Closing,  Seller
     will inform Buyer prior to Closing.

     (b)   Seller  has not received any notice that the  use  and
     operation  of the Entire Property is not in full  compliance
     with  applicable building codes, safety, fire,  zoning,  and
     land use laws, and other applicable local, state and federal
     laws,  ordinances, regulations and requirements.  If  Seller
     shall  receive any notice to the contrary prior to  Closing,
     Seller will inform Buyer prior to Closing.

     (c)   Seller  knows  of no facts nor has  Seller  failed  to
     disclose  to  Buyer  any fact known to  Seller  which  would
     prevent  the  Tenant  from using and  operating  the  Entire
     Property after the Closing in the manner in which the Entire
     Property  has been used and operated prior to  the  date  of
     this  Agreement.  If Seller shall receive any notice to  the
     contrary prior to Closing, Seller will inform Buyer prior to
     Closing.

     (d)   Seller  has  not received any notice that  the  Entire
     Property is in violation of any federal, state or local law,
     ordinance, or regulations relating to industrial hygiene  or
     the  environmental conditions on, under, or about the Entire
     Property,   including,  but  not  limited  to,   soil,   and
     groundwater conditions.  To the best of Seller's  knowledge,
     there  is  no  proceeding  or inquiry  by  any  governmental
     authority   with  respect  to  the  presence  of   Hazardous
     Materials  on  the  Entire  Property  or  the  migration  of
     Hazardous Materials from or to other property.  Buyer agrees
     that  Seller will have no liability of any type to Buyer  or
     Buyer's  successors,  assigns, or affiliates  in  connection
     with  any  Hazardous Materials on or in connection with  the
     Entire  Property  either before or after the  Closing  Date,
     except such Hazardous Materials on or in connection with the
     Entire Property arising out of Seller's gross negligence  or
     intentional misconduct.  If Seller shall receive any  notice
     to  the contrary prior to Closing, Seller will inform  Buyer
     prior to Closing.

     (e)   Buyer agrees that it shall be purchasing the  Property
     in  its  then present condition, as is, where is, and Seller
     has  no  obligations to construct or repair any improvements
     thereon  or to perform any other act regarding the Property,
     except as expressly provided herein.

     (f)    Buyer  acknowledges  that,  having  been  given   the
     opportunity  to  inspect  the  Entire  Property   and   such
     financial  information on the Lessee and Guarantors  of  the
     Lease as Buyer or its advisors shall request, if in Seller's
     possession, Buyer is relying solely on its own investigation
     of  the  Property  and  not on any information  provided  by
     Seller or to be provided except as set forth herein.   Buyer
     further acknowledges that the information provided and to be
     provided by Seller with respect to the Property, the  Entire
     Property  and  to  the Lessee and Guarantors  of  Lease  was
     obtained  from a variety of sources and Seller  neither  (a)
     has  made independent investigation or verification of  such
     information,  or  (b) makes any representations  as  to  the
     accuracy  or  completeness  of such  information  except  as
     herein set forth.  The sale of the Property as provided  for
     herein is made on an


Buyer Initial: /s/ KDH
Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN




     "AS  IS"  basis, and Buyer expressly acknowledges  that,  in
     consideration of the agreements of Seller herein, except  as
     otherwise specified herein in paragraph 11(a) and (b)  above
     and   this  paragraph  12,  Seller  makes  no  Warranty   or
     representation, Express or Implied, or arising by  operation
     of  law,  including,  but not limited to,  any  warranty  of
     condition,  habitability,  tenantability,  suitability   for
     commercial  purposes,  merchantability,  or  fitness  for  a
     particular purpose, in respect of the Property.

     The provisions (d) - (f) above shall survive Closing.

13.  CLOSING.

     (a)   Before  the  closing date, Seller  will  deposit  into
     escrow  an  executed special warranty deed warranting  title
     against  lawful  claims by, through, or under  a  conveyance
     from   Seller,  but  not  further  or  otherwise,  conveying
     insurable  title of the Property to Buyer,  subject  to  the
     exceptions contained in paragraph 8 above.

     (b)   On or before the closing date, Buyer will deposit into
     escrow:  the  balance  of the purchase price  when  required
     under  Section  4; any additional funds required  of  Buyer,
     (pursuant to this agreement or any other agreement  executed
     by  Buyer)  to  close escrow.  Both parties  will  sign  and
     deliver  to the escrow holder any other documents reasonably
     required by the escrow holder to close escrow.

     (c)   On  the  closing date, if escrow is in a  position  to
     close,  the  escrow  holder will: record  the  deed  in  the
     official  records  of  the  county  where  the  Property  is
     located;  cause  the title company to commit  to  issue  the
     title  policy; immediately deliver to Seller the portion  of
     the  purchase price deposited into escrow by cashier's check
     or  wire  transfer  (less debits and  prorations,  if  any);
     deliver  to  Seller  and Buyer a signed counterpart  of  the
     escrow  holder's certified closing statement  and  take  all
     other actions necessary to close escrow.

14.   DEFAULTS.  If Buyer defaults, Buyer will forfeit all rights
and  claims  and  Seller will be relieved of all obligations  and
will  be  entitled to retain all monies heretofore  paid  by  the
Buyer.   In  addition, Seller shall retain all remedies available
to Seller at law or in equity.

     If Seller shall default, Buyer irrevocably waives any rights
to file a lis pendens, a specific performance action or any other
claim,  action or proceeding of any type in connection  with  the
Property or this or any other transaction involving the Property,
and  will  not  do  anything to affect title to the  Property  or
hinder,  delay  or  prevent  any  other  sale,  lease  or   other
transaction involving the Property (any and all of which will  be
null  and void), unless: it has paid the First Payment, deposited
the  balance  of the Second Payment for the purchase  price  into
escrow, performed all of its other obligations and satisfied  all
conditions  under  this  Agreement, and unconditionally  notified
Seller  that it stands ready to tender full performance, purchase
the  Property and close escrow as per this Agreement,  regardless
of  any  alleged  default  or misconduct  by  Seller.   Provided,
however, that in no event shall Seller be liable for any  actual,
punitive, consequential or speculative damages arising out of any
default by Seller hereunder.

15.  BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

     a.  Buyer represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

     (i)   In  addition to the acts and deeds recited herein  and
     contemplated  to  be performed, executed, and  delivered  by
     Buyer, Buyer shall perform, execute and deliver or cause  to
     be  performed,  executed, and delivered at  the  Closing  or
     after  the  Closing,  any and all further  acts,  deeds  and
     assurances as Seller or the Title Company may require and be
     reasonable   in   order  to  consummate   the   transactions
     contemplated herein.

Buyer Initial: /s/ KDH
Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN




     (ii)   Buyer  has  all  requisite  power  and  authority  to
     consummate  the  transaction contemplated by this  Agreement
     and  has by proper proceedings duly authorized the execution
     and  delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of  the
     transaction contemplated hereby.

     (iii)   To  Buyer's  knowledge, neither  the  execution  and
     delivery  of  this  Agreement nor the  consummation  of  the
     transaction  contemplated  hereby  will  violate  or  be  in
     conflict with (a) any applicable provisions of law, (b)  any
     order  of  any  court or other agency of  government  having
     jurisdiction  hereof, or (c) any agreement or instrument  to
     which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer is bound.

16.  DAMAGES, DESTRUCTION AND EMINENT DOMAIN.

     (a)   If, prior to closing, the Property or any part thereof
     be  destroyed  or further damaged by fire, the elements,  or
     any cause, due to events occurring subsequent to the date of
     this Agreement to the extent that the cost of repair exceeds
     $10,000.00,  this Agreement shall become null and  void,  at
     Buyer's  option exercised, if at all, by written  notice  to
     Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer has received written
     notice  from Seller of said destruction or damage.   Seller,
     however,  shall  have  the right to  adjust  or  settle  any
     insured  loss  until  (i)  all contingencies  set  forth  in
     Paragraph 6 hereof have been satisfied, or waived; and  (ii)
     any  ten-day  period provided for above in this Subparagraph
     16a  for  Buyer  to  elect to terminate this  Agreement  has
     expired  or  Buyer has, by written notice to Seller,  waived
     Buyer's right to terminate this Agreement.  If Buyer  elects
     to  proceed  and  to  consummate the purchase  despite  said
     damage  or  destruction, there shall be no reduction  in  or
     abatement of the purchase price, and Seller shall assign  to
     Buyer the Seller's right, title, and interest in and to  all
     insurance  proceeds  (pro-rata in  relation  to  the  Entire
     Property) resulting from said damage or destruction  to  the
     extent  that the same are payable with respect to damage  to
     the  Property, subject to rights of any Tenant of the Entire
     Property.

     If  the cost of repair is less than $10,000.00, Buyer  shall
     be  obligated  to  otherwise  perform  hereinunder  with  no
     adjustment  to  the Purchase Price, reduction or  abatement,
     and  Seller shall assign Seller's right, title and  interest
     in and to all insurance proceeds pro-rata in relation to the
     Entire  Property,  subject to rights of any  Tenant  of  the
     Entire Property.

     (b)   If,  prior  to  closing, the  Property,  or  any  part
     thereof,  is  taken by eminent domain, this Agreement  shall
     become null and void, at Buyer's option.  If Buyer elects to
     proceed  and to consummate the purchase despite said taking,
     there  shall  be  no  reduction in,  or  abatement  of,  the
     purchase  price,  and  Seller  shall  assign  to  Buyer  the
     Seller's  right,  title, and interest in and  to  any  award
     made, or to be made, in the condemnation proceeding pro-rata
     in relation to the Entire Property, subject to rights of any
     Tenant of the Entire Property.

      In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer  as
provided  above  in  Subparagraph 16a or 16b, the  First  Payment
shall  be immediately returned to Buyer (after execution by Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination hereof).

17.  BUYER'S 1031 TAX FREE EXCHANGE.

      While  Seller  acknowledges that Buyer  is  purchasing  the
Property  as  "replacement property" to  accomplish  a  tax  free
exchange,   Buyer   acknowledges  that   Seller   has   made   no
representations,  warranties, or agreements to Buyer  or  Buyer's
agents  that  the transaction contemplated by the Agreement  will
qualify  for such tax treatment, nor has there been any  reliance
thereon by Buyer respecting the legal or tax implications of  the
transactions


Buyer Initial: /s/ KDH
Purchase Agreement for Timber Lodge-St. Cloud, MN




contemplated hereby.  Buyer further represents that it has sought
and  obtained  such third party advice and counsel  as  it  deems
necessary in regards to the tax implications of this transaction.

      Buyer  wishes  to  novate/assign the ownership  rights  and
interest  of  this  Purchase Agreement to Old  Republic  Exchange
which  will  act as Accommodator to perfect the 1031 exchange  by
preparing  an agreement of exchange of Real Property whereby  Old
Republic  Exchange  will be an independent third party purchasing
the  ownership  interest  in subject  property  from  Seller  and
selling the ownership interest in subject property to Buyer under
the  same  terms  and conditions as documented in  this  Purchase
Agreement.  Buyer asks the Seller, and Seller agrees to cooperate
in the perfection of such an exchange if at no additional cost or
expense to Seller or delay in time.  Buyer hereby indemnifies and
holds  Seller  harmless from any claims and/or actions  resulting
from  said  exchange.  Pursuant to the direction of Old  Republic
Exchange, Seller will deed the Property to Buyer.

18.  CANCELLATION

     If  any party elects to cancel this Contract because of  any
     breach by another party or because escrow fails to close  by
     the  agreed date, the party electing to cancel shall deliver
     to escrow agent a notice containing the address of the party
     in  breach and stating that this Contract shall be cancelled
     unless  the  breach  is cured within 10 days  following  the
     delivery  of  the notice to the escrow agent.  Within  three
     days  after  receipt of such notice, the escrow agent  shall
     send it by United States Mail to the party in breach at  the
     address contained in the Notice and no further notice  shall
     be  required. If the breach is not cured within the 10  days
     following  the  delivery of the notice to the escrow  agent,
     this Contract shall be cancelled.

19.  MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a)  This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement
     signed by both Seller and Buyer, and all waivers must be  in
     writing  and signed by the waiving party.  Time  is  of  the
     essence.   This  Agreement  will not  be  construed  for  or
     against  a party whether or not that party has drafted  this
     Agreement.  If there is any action or proceeding between the
     parties relating to this Agreement the prevailing party will
     be  entitled to recover attorney's fees and costs.  This  is
     an  integrated  agreement containing all agreements  of  the
     parties  about the Property and the other matters described,
     and  it  supersedes any other agreements or  understandings.
     Exhibits  attached  to this Agreement are incorporated  into
     this Agreement.

     (b)   If  this  escrow has not closed by  October  8,  1999,
     through  no  fault  of Seller, Seller  may  either,  at  its
     election,  extend  the closing date or exercise  any  remedy
     available   to   it  by  law,  including  terminating   this
     Agreement.

     (c)  Funds to be deposited or paid by Buyer must be good and
     clear  funds in the form of cash, cashier's checks  or  wire
     transfers.

     (d)   All notices from either of the parties hereto  to  the
     other  shall be in writing and shall be considered  to  have
     been  duly  given or served if sent by first class certified
     mail,  return receipt requested, postage prepaid,  or  by  a
     nationally recognized courier service guaranteeing overnight
     delivery to the party at his or its address set forth below,
     or  to  such  other  address  as such  party  may  hereafter
     designate by written notice to the other party.
