Item 7.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
	    Results of Operations


Summary of Operations

Improved market conditions in cities where many of Balcor/Colonial Storage 
Income Fund-86's (the "Partnership") properties are located and increased 
rental income resulting from ongoing capital improvement programs were 
primarily responsible for the increases in net income generated by the 
Partnership in 1995, 1994 and 1993.  No material events occurred during these 
periods which significantly impacted the net income of the Partnership.  
Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below.

Operations

1995 Compared to 1994

Rental income increased during 1995 when compared to 1994 primarily due to 
increased rental rates of approximately 11.3% in Georgia and approximately 6% in
Florida.  Property management fees, which are 6% of gross mini-warehouse rents 
and 5% of gross office warehouse rents, increased correspondingly.

Interest income on short term investments increased from 1994 to 1995 due to an 
increase in cash available for investment and higher interest rates.


1994 Compared to 1993

Rental income increased during 1994 as compared to 1993 due to an increase in 
average rental rates of approximately 6.4%.  Growth was particularly strong in 
Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida.  As a result of this increase, 
property management fees also increased during this period.

Due to higher interest rates and amounts available for investment, interest 
income on short term investments increased during 1994 as compared to 1993.

Increased payroll and maintenance expenses resulted in an increase in property 
operating expenses for 1994 as compared to 1993.  Payroll expenses increased 
approximately 18% due to an increase in incentive payments to property managers 
and an increase in salary rates for new employees.  Maintenance expenses 
increased approximately 17% due primarily to snow removal in February and March 
at sites in Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky and Virginia.

The full amortization of non-compete agreements in 1993 resulted in a decrease 
in depreciation and amortization expenses in 1994 as compared to 1993.

General and administrative expenses increased during 1994 as compared to 1993 
primarily due to an increase in accounting and asset management costs.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

The cash position of the Partnership increased from December 31, 1994 to 
December 31, 1995. The Partnership's cash flow provided by operating activities 
in 1995 was generated primarily by the operations of the mini-warehouse and 
office-warehouse properties and interest income earned on the Partnership's 
short-term investments, which was partially offset by administrative expenses.  
This cash flow was used in investing activities to make capital improvements to 
the properties and in financing activities to provide distributions to the 
Limited Partners.

Accounts receivable net of the related allowance for doubtful accounts 
increased from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995 due to the level and 
timing of collection efforts.  The timing of collection efforts are determined 
by individual state law.  There have been no changes in the credit terms 
extended to the Partnership's customers nor in the method used to allow for 
doubtful accounts.

In January 1996, the Partnership paid $1,446,370 ($5.63 per Interest) to the 
Limited Partners, representing the distribution for the fourth quarter of 1995. 
Quarterly distributions increased from $5.31 per Interest for the third quarter 
of 1995 to $5.63 per Interest for the fourth quarter of 1995 due to improved 
operating results at several of the Partnership's mini-warehouse facilities.  
Including the January 1996 distribution, the Partnership has  distributed 
$147.18 per $250 Interest, of which $145.80 represents Net Cash  Receipts and 
$1.38 represents Net Cash Proceeds.  It is anticipated that, in the event the 
sale of the Partnership's mini-warehouse facilities as discussed in Item 1 is 
consummated, Net Cash Proceeds and remaining Net Cash Receipts from operations 
prior to closing will be distributed to the Limited and General Partners in 
accordance with the Partnership Agreement.  Should the sale not be consummated, 
the General Partners believe the cash generated from property operations should 
enable the Partnership to continue making quarterly distributions to Limited 
Partners.  However, the level of future cash distributions to Limited Partners 
will be dependent upon the amount of cash flow generated by the Partnership's 
properties as to which there can be no assurance.  Pursuant to the Partnership 
Agreement, the General Partners are entitled to 10% of Net Cash Receipts 
available for distribution, subject to certain subordinations in the periods 
following the termination of the offering.  From the inception of the offering 
through December 31, 1995, the General Partners' share of Net Cash Receipts 
totaled approximately $4,040,000, of which $3,410,000 is subordinated.

The General Partners intend to retain on behalf of the Partnership cash 
reserves deemed adequate to meet working capital requirements as they may 
arise.

In 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement SFAS No. 121 
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets 
to be Disposed Of".  SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain 
intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be 
recoverable.  The Partnership periodically reevaluates the carrying amounts of 
its long-lived assets and the related depreciation and amortization periods as 
discussed in the notes to the Partnership's Financial Statements, and the 
Partnership believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 121 will not have a material 
effect on its financial statements.

Inflation has several types of potentially conflicting impacts on real estate 
investments.  Short-term inflation can increase real estate operating costs,  
which may or may not be recovered through increased rents and/or sales prices, 
depending on general or local economic conditions.  In the long-term, inflation 
can be expected to increase operating costs and replacement costs and may lead 
to increased rental revenue and real estate values.
