                         AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO SCHEDULE 13D


            This Amendment No. 2, which relates to units of limited
partnership interest ("Units") in Davidson Growth Plus, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the "Partnership"), and is being filed jointly by
Insignia Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("IPLP"), Insignia
Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust ("IPT"), DGP
Acquisition, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Acquisition"),
Insignia Financial Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Insignia"), IB
Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Holding"), and Mr. Andrew L. Farkas
("Mr. Farkas") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"), supplements and amends
the Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Commission on January
18, 1996 (the "Original Statement"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with
the Commission on April 25, 1997 (as amended, the "Statement"). The Original
Statement was filed jointly by the Reporting Persons, Riverdale Investors
Corp., Inc., whose successor in interest is Riverdale L.L.C. ("Riverdale"),
and Mr. Carl C. Icahn ("Mr. Icahn").

            The following Items of the Statement are hereby supplemented and/or
amended as indicated:

ITEM 2.     IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

            Effective June 16, 1997, Jeffrey P. Cohen is serving as a Vice
President of IPT. Mr. Cohen's principal occupation is to serve as Senior Vice
President--Investment Banking of Insignia, and his business address is 375
Park Avenue, Suite 3401, New York, NY 10152. Mr. Cohen is a United States
citizen.

            Neither Acquisition nor Holding any longer beneficially owns any
Units (see Item 5), and each is in the process of being dissolved under
applicable law. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 2 constitutes the final Schedule
13D filing by each of Acquisition and Holding.

            As a result of the purchases described in Item 5, the Reporting
Persons have been advised that Riverdale and Mr. Icahn have ceased to
beneficially own 5% or greater of the outstanding Units, and that Riverdale and
Mr. Icahn will separately file an amendment to the Original Statement to that
effect.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

            The aggregate amount of funds used by Insignia in making the
purchases described in Item 5(c) was $525,287, and Insignia used its working
capital to make such purchases.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

            The Reporting Persons acquired the Units for investment purposes.
None of the Reporting Persons has any current plans or proposals which relate to
or would result in (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of
the Partnership or the disposition of any such securities, (b) an extraordinary
corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation,
involving the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of
a material amount of assets of the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries, (d)
any change in the present management of the Partnership, (e) any material change
in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Partnership, (f) any
other material change in the Partnership's business or corporate structure, (g)
any other material change in the Partnership's charter, bylaws or instruments
corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of
control of the Partnership by any person, (h) causing a class of securities of
the Partnership to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease
to be authorized to be quoted

                                       8

<PAGE>



in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities
association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Partnership becoming
eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (j) any action similar to any of the
enumerated in (a) through (i) above. However, the Reporting Persons may acquire
additional Units, whether through private purchases, tender or exchange offers
or by any other means deemed advisable. The Reporting Persons also may consider
selling some or all of their Units, either directly or by a sale of one or more
interests in one or more of the Reporting Persons, depending among other things
on liquidity, strategic, tax and other considerations.

            Although the Reporting Persons do not intend to change current
management or the operation of the Partnership and have no current plans for any
extraordinary transaction involving the Partnership, these plans could change in
the future. In addition, the Reporting Persons expect that consistent with its
fiduciary obligations, Davidson Growth Plus GP Corporation, which is the general
partner of the Partnership and an affiliate of the Reporting Persons (the
"General Partner"), will seek and review opportunities to engage in transactions
which could benefit the Partnership, such as sales or refinancings of assets or
combinations of the Partnership with one or more other entities, with the
objective of seeking to maximize returns to holders of Units. In that regard,
the Reporting Persons expect the General Partner will carefully consider any
suggestions or proposals the Reporting Persons may make.

            The Reporting Persons have been advised that the possible future
transactions the General Partner expects to consider on behalf of the
Partnership include (i) payment of extraordinary distributions; (ii)
refinancing, reducing or increasing existing indebtedness of the Partnership;
(iii) sales of assets, individually or as part of a complete liquidation; and
(iv) mergers or other consolidation transactions involving the Partnership. Any
such merger or consolidation transaction could involve other limited
partnerships in which the General Partner or its affiliates serve as general
partners, or a combination of the Partnership with one or more existing,
publicly traded entities (including, possibly, affiliates of the Reporting
Persons), in any of which holders of Units might receive cash, common stock or
other securities or consideration. There is no assurance, however, as to when or
whether any of the transactions referred to above might occur. A merger or other
consolidation transaction and certain kinds of other extraordinary transactions
would require a vote of the limited partners in the Partnership. The Reporting
Persons' primary objective in acquiring the Units is not, however, to influence
the vote on any particular transaction, but rather to generate a profit on the
investment represented by those Units.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

            (a)-(b) IPLP owns 2,415.33 Units, representing approximately 8.5% of
the outstanding Units based on the 28,371.75 Units reported by the Partnership
to be outstanding at March 31, 1997. IPT, Insignia and Mr. Farkas may be deemed
to be beneficial owners of the Units owned by IPLP by reason of their respective
relationships with IPLP. IPT is the sole general partner of IPLP, and Insignia
is the majority shareholder of IPT. Mr. Farkas is the Chairman, Chief Executive
Officer and President of Insignia and is the beneficial owner of approximately
27.9% of its outstanding common stock. Accordingly, for purposes of this
Amendment No. 2, all of the Reporting Persons other than Acquisition and Holding
are reporting that they share the power to vote or direct the vote and the power
to dispose or direct the disposition of the 2,415.33 Units owned by IPLP.

            (c) On June 17, 1997, Insignia purchased, in a privately negotiated
transaction, (i) the 50% equity interest in Acquisition owned by Riverdale (the
"Acquisition Interest") for an aggregate purchase price of $513,000 and (ii) 25
Units from Longacre Corp. ("Longacre") for an aggregate purchase price of
$12,287. Both Riverdale and Longacre are controlled by Mr. Icahn. Effective as
of June 17, 1997, (i) Insignia contributed the Acquisition Interest and the
Units acquired from Longacre to IPT in exchange


                                       9

<PAGE>



for common shares of IPT, and (ii) IPT in turn contributed the Acquisition
Interest and those Units to IPLP in exchange for additional units of general
partner interest in IPLP. Effective June 18, 1997, Acquisition (which is now a
wholly-owned subsidiary of IPLP) transferred and assigned the 1,126.79 Units
owned by it to IPLP. No other transactions in the Units have been effected by
any of the Reporting Persons within the last 60 days.

            (d)    Not applicable.

            (e)    See Item 2.

                          PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

         This Purchase and Sale Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of

                                    RECITALS

         WHEREAS, Seller is the record owner of 500 units of common membership
interest (the "Shares"), in DGP Acquisition, L.L.C., a Delaware limited
liability company (the "Company"), the affairs of which are governed by an
Operating Agreement dated as December 7, 1995, as amended (the "Operating
Agreement");

         WHEREAS, Longacre Corp. ("Longacre"), which is an affiliate of Seller,

         WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell, and Purchaser desires to purchase,
the Equity Interests on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Agreement;

                                   AGREEMENT

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
representations, warranties covenants and agreements contained herein, and
intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

         1. Purchase and Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser
agrees to purchase from Seller, in exchange for the consideration described in
Section 2, all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Equity

Riverdale's obligations with respect to the Subject Units shall be to cause
Longacre to sell the Subject Units and execute and deliver all instruments of
transfer relating thereto referred to herein on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein.

         2. Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the

manner provided in Section 3, of which $513,000 is allocated to the Shares and 
$12,287 is allocated to the Subject Units.

         3. Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Equity
Interests contemplated hereby (the "Closing") will take place on June 17, 1997
(the "Closing Date"). At the Closing, Purchaser will pay the Purchase Price by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of Seller
designated on Schedule I attached hereto. Simultaneously, Seller will assign
and transfer to Purchaser good and valid title in and to the Equity Interests,
free and clear of any and all liens, charges and encumbrances (other than those
contained in or resulting from the Operating Agreement), (i) with respect to
the Shares, by delivering to Purchaser the certificates evidencing the Shares,
in genuine and unaltered form, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly
executed stock powers endorsed in blank, and (ii) with respect to the Subject
Units, by causing Longacre to deliver to Purchaser the Assignment of
Partnership interest attached as Exhibit A hereto.

         4. Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller hereby represents
and warrants to Purchaser that each of the following statements is true and
correct as of the date hereof and will be true and correct as of the Closing
Date as if made on and as of such date:

            (a) Organization of Seller. Seller is a limited liability company
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of New York. Seller has full power and authority to execute and deliver
this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation to own, hold,
sell and transfer (pursuant to this Agreement) the Equity Interests.

            (b) Authority. The execution and delivery by Seller of this
Agreement, and the performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder, have
been duly and validly authorized by requisite action on the part of Seller.
This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller and
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable
against Seller in accordance with its terms.

            (c) Equity Interests. The Shares are legally and beneficially owned
by Seller, and the Subject Shares are legally and beneficially owned by
Longacre. Except as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Operating

kind, contingent or otherwise, obligating Seller or Longacre to sell any of the

any Units other than the Subject Units.

            (d) Partnership. Seller (on behalf of itself and Longacre) hereby

properties and operations. Seller has taken the foregoing into account in
making its decision to sell the Equity Interests to Purchaser and in
determining the Purchase Price therefor. In addition, Seller has been given the
opportunity to ask questions of each Purchaser and the Partnership and the
general partner thereof, and of their respective managements, in connection
with the sale of the Equity Interests, and has received satisfactory answers to
all such questions.

            (e) Brokers' and Finders' Fees. Neither Seller nor any agent or
representative of Seller has employed any broker or finder or incurred any

Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

            (b) Authority. The execution and delivery by Purchaser of this
Agreement, and the performance by Purchaser of its obligations hereunder, have

Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by
Purchaser and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser,
enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

            (c) Brokers' and Finders' Fees. Neither Purchaser nor any agent or
representative of Purchaser has employed any broker or finder or incurred any
liability for any brokerage fees or commission in connection with the
