limited partnership interest (the "Units") in Capital Growth Mortgage Investors,
L.P., a Delaware limited  partnership (the  "Partnership"),  at a purchase price
equal to $2.00 per Unit, less the amount of any  distributions  declared or made
with  respect  to the Units  between  August  27,  1996 (the  "Offer  Date") and
September  26, 1996, or such other date to which this Offer may be extended (the

conditions  set forth in this Offer to Purchase (the "Offer to Purchase") and in
the related Letter of  Transmittal,  as each may be supplemented or amended from
time to time (which together constitute the "Offer"). The 2,818,800 Units sought

with the  Partnership  or its general  partner,  CG Realty  Funding,  Inc.  (the
"General Partner").

             Holders  of  Units   ("Unitholders")  are  urged  to  consider  the
following factors:

             -       The purchase  price offered by the  Purchasers is less than
                     the  General  Partner's   estimated  value  for  ERISA  tax
                     reporting  purposes of $2.10 per Unit at December  31, 1995
                     and is also less than the Partnership's book value per Unit
                     of $2.11 as of December 31, 1995,  and $2.20 as of June 30,
                     1996.

             -       Unitholders  who  tender  their  Units  will  give  up  the
                     opportunity to participate in any future  benefits from the
                     ownership   of   Units,    including    potential    future
                     distributions  by the  Partnership,  and the purchase price
                     per  Unit  payable  to  a  tendering   Unitholder   by  the
                     Purchasers  may be less than the total  amount  which might
                     otherwise be received by the Unitholder with respect to the
                     Unit over the remaining term of the Partnership.

             -       The Purchasers are making the Offer for investment purposes
                     and  with  the  intention  of  making  a  profit  from  the
                     ownership of the Units. In establishing  the purchase price
                     of  $2.00  per  Unit,   the  Purchasers  are  motivated  to
                     establish  the lowest  price which might be  acceptable  to
                     Unitholders consistent with the Purchasers' objectives.

             -       As a result of consummation of the Offer, the Purchasers 
                     may be in a position to significantly influence all 
                     Partnership decisions on which Unitholders may vote.  The
                     Purchasers will vote the Units acquired in the Offer in its
                     own interest, which may be different from or in conflict 
                     with the interests of the remaining Unitholders.  See
                     Section 7 below.

             -       The  Purchasers  may  accept  only a  portion  of the Units
                     tendered by a Unitholder  in the event a total of more than
                     2,818,800 Units are tendered.


THE OFFER TO PURCHASE IS NOT CONDITIONED  UPON ANY MINIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS BEING
TENDERED.  IF MORE THAN 2,818,800 UNITS ARE VALIDLY  TENDERED AND NOT WITHDRAWN,
THE  PURCHASERS  WILL ACCEPT FOR PURCHASE  2,818,800  UNITS VALIDLY  TENDERED BY
UNITHOLDERS ON A PRO RATA BASIS, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREIN.

A UNITHOLDER MAY TENDER ANY OR ALL UNITS OWNED BY SUCH UNITHOLDER.

             The Purchasers expressly reserve the right, in its sole discretion,
at any time and from time to time, (i) to extend the period of time during which
the Offer is open and thereby delay  acceptance  for payment of, and the payment
for, any Units, (ii) to terminate the Offer and not accept for payment any Units
not  theretofore  accepted for payment or paid for, (iii) upon the occurrence of
any of the  conditions  specified  in Section 13 of this Offer to  Purchase,  to
delay the acceptance  for payment of, or payment for, any Units not  theretofore
accepted  for payment or paid for,  and (iv) to amend the Offer in any  respect.
Notice  of any  such  extension,  termination  or  amendment  will  promptly  be

Offer, such extension will be followed by a press release or public announcement
which will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the next

To the  Holders  of Units of Limited  Partnership  Interest  of  Capital  Growth
Mortgage Investors, L.P.

                                  INTRODUCTION

             The  Purchasers  hereby offer to purchase up to 2,818,800  Units of
the  Partnership at a purchase  price of $2.00 per Unit,  less the amount of any
distributions  declared or paid with respect to the Units between the Offer Date
and the Expiration Date ("Offer Price"),  in cash,  without  interest,  upon the
terms and  subject to the  conditions  set forth in the Offer.  Unitholders  who
tender their Units will not be obligated to pay any  Partnership  transfer fees,
or any other fees,  expenses or  commissions  in  connection  with the tender of
Units.  The  Purchasers  will pay all such costs and all charges and expenses of
the Depositary, an affiliate of the Purchasers, as depositary in connection with
the Offer. For further information concerning the of the Purchasers, see Section
11 below.

             Neither any of the Purchasers nor the Depositary is affiliated with
the General Partner or with any of its affiliates.

             Unitholders are urged to consider the following factors:

             -       The purchase  price offered by the  Purchasers is less than
                     the  General  Partner's   estimated  value  for  ERISA  tax
                     reporting  purposes  of $2.10 per Unit as of  December  31,
                     1995,  and is also less than the  Partnership's  book value
                     per Unit of $2.11 as of  December  31, 1995 and $2.20 as of
                     June 30, 1996.

             -       Unitholders  who  tender  their  Units  will  give  up  the
                     opportunity to participate in any future  benefits from the
                     ownership   of   Units,    including    potential    future
                     distributions  by the  Partnership,  and the purchase price
                     per  Unit  payable  to  a  tendering   Unitholder   by  the
                     Purchasers  may be less than the total  amount  which might
                     otherwise be received by the Unitholder with respect to the
                     Unit over the remaining term of the Partnership.

             -       The Purchasers are making the Offer for investment purposes
                     and  with  the  intention  of  making  a  profit  from  the
                     ownership of the Units. In establishing  the purchase price
                     of  $2.00  per  Unit,   the  Purchasers  are  motivated  to
                     establish  the lowest  price which might be  acceptable  to
                     Unitholders consistent with the Purchasers' objectives.

             -       As a result of consummation of the Offer, the Purchasers 
                     may be in a position to significantly influence all 
                     Partnership decisions on which Unitholders may vote.  The
                     Purchasers will vote the Units acquired in the Offer in its
                     own interest, which may be different from or in conflict 
                     with the interests of the remaining Unitholders.  See
                     Section 7 below.

             -       The  Purchasers  may  accept  only a  portion  of the Units
                     tendered by a Unitholder  in the event a total of more than
                     2,818,800 Units are tendered.

The Offer will  provide  Unitholders  with an  opportunity  to  liquidate  their
investment  without the usual  transaction  costs  associated with market sales.
Unitholders  may no  longer  wish  to  continue  with  their  investment  in the
Partnership for a number of reasons, including the following:

- -    the absence of a formal trading market for the Units and the 
     difficulty in selling units in secondary market transactions;

<PAGE>


- -    general disenchantment with real estate investments, particularly long-term
     investments in limited partnerships;

- -    the continuing administrative costs and resultant negative financial impact
     on the value of the Units of a publicly registered limited partnership;

- -    a more immediate need to use the cash now tied up in an investment in the 
     Units;

- -    a desire to eliminate the need for compliance with  complicated and
     costly tax return  requirements  and associated  expenses which may
     result from an investment in the Units.

             The Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum number of Units being
tendered.  If more than 2,818,800 Units are validly  tendered and not withdrawn,
the  Purchasers  will  accept  for  purchase  a total of  2,818,800  Units  from
tendering  Unitholders on a pro rata basis,  subject to the terms and conditions
herein.  See "Tender  Offer - Section 13.  Conditions  of the Offer" for certain
conditions of the Offer. The Purchasers expressly reserve the right, in their 
sole discretion and for any reason, to waive any or all of the conditions of the
Offer.

Establishment of the Offer Price

             The Purchasers have set the Offer Price at $2.00 per Unit, less the
amount of any  distributions  declared or made with respect to the Units between
the  Offer  Date and  Expiration  Date.  In  determining  the Offer  Price,  the
Purchasers analyzed a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including:
(i) the prices of recent secondary market resales of the Units; (ii) the lack of
liquidity  of an  investment  in  the  Partnership;  (iii)  an  estimate  of the
liquidation value of the Partnership's  assets; (iv) the costs to the Purchasers
associated with acquiring the Units; (v) the administrative  costs of continuing
to  own  the  Partnership's   assets  through  a  publicly   registered  limited
partnership;  and (vi) the General Partner's  estimate in the 1995 Annual Report
of a value of $2.10 per Unit.

             The Offer Price  represents  the price at which the  Purchasers are
willing to purchase Units.  No independent  person has been retained to evaluate
or render any  opinion  with  respect to the  fairness of the Offer Price and no
representation  is made by the  Purchasers or any affiliate of the Purchasers as
to such  fairness.  Other  measures of the value of the Units may be relevant to
Unitholders.  Unitholders are urged to consider carefully all of the information
contained  herein  and  consult  with  their own  advisors,  tax,  financial  or
otherwise,  in  evaluating  the terms of the Offer  before  deciding  whether to
tender Units.

             The Partnership's  10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995
states that "(t)here is no established trading market for the Units nor is there
anticipated to be any in the future."  According to reports  published by Robert
A. Stanger & Co., Inc. and Partnership Profiles, Inc., independent,  third-party
sources, the low and high sales prices of Units during the six-month period from
November  1,  1995  through  April  30,  1996  were  $0.95  and  $1.59 per Unit,
respectively.  The gross sales prices reported also do not  necessarily  reflect
the net sales proceeds received by sellers of Units, which typically are reduced
by commissions and other secondary market transaction costs to amounts less than
the reported prices. In addition, the information published by these independent
sources is the product of their  market  research  and does not  constitute  the
comprehensive transaction reporting of a securities exchange.  Accordingly,  the
Purchasers do not know whether the foregoing sales price information is accurate
or  complete.  During the period  from March 26, 1996  through the date  hereof,
affiliates of the Purchasers


<PAGE>


acquired  or have  contracted  to  acquire  a total of 400  Units  in  privately
negotiated transactions with unrelated parties for a price of $1.55 per Unit.

             The book value of each Unit, as reflected on the Partnership's Form
10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, was $2.20 per Unit and, as of December
31, 1995, the date of the Partnership's last audited financial  statements,  the
book value was $2.11 per Unit.  The book  value  represents  the  portion of the
excess  of the  Partnership's  assets  over its  liabilities  as  determined  in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,  which is attributable
to the Units. Book value does not necessarily reflect the fair market value of a
Unit,  which may be higher or lower  than the book  value  depending  on several
factors  including  liquidity  of the Units and  external  economic  and  market
factors.  Book value also does not reflect the amount which a  Unitholder  would
ultimately receive if the Partnership were liquidated.  Such amount would likely
be  affected  by  several  factors,  including  the time  required  to  effect a
liquidation of the  Partnership's  assets and the ability of the  Partnership to
realize the full value of its assets as reflected in the book value.

General Background Information

             Certain  information  contained  in this  Offer to  Purchase  which
relates to, or  represents,  statements  made by the  Partnership or the General
Partner,  has been derived  from  information  provided in reports  filed by the
Partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

             According to publicly available  information,  there were 7,047,000
Units issued and outstanding at December 31, 1995, held by  approximately  8,331
Unitholders.   Affiliates  of  the  Purchasers  currently  beneficially  own  an
aggregate of 19,524 Units, or approximately 0.003% of the outstanding Units (see
"Certain Information Concerning the Purchasers" below).

             Tendering  Unitholders  will not be obligated to pay transfer fees,
brokerage  fees or  commissions  on the  sale  of the  Units  to the  Purchasers
pursuant to the Offer. The Purchasers will pay all charges and expenses incurred
in  connection  with the Offer.  The  Purchasers  desire to  purchase  all Units
tendered by each Unitholder.

             If,  prior to the  Expiration  Date,  the  Purchasers  increase the
consideration  offered to  Unitholders  pursuant  to the Offer,  such  increased
consideration will be paid with respect to all Units that are purchased pursuant
to the Offer,  whether or not such Units were tendered prior to such increase in
consideration.

             Unitholders  are  urged  to read  this  Offer to  Purchase  and the
accompanying  Letter of Transmittal  carefully before deciding whether to tender
their Units.

                                  TENDER OFFER

             Section 1. Terms of the  Offer.  Upon the terms and  subject to the
conditions  of the Offer,  the  Purchasers  will  accept for payment and pay for
Units validly  tendered on or prior to the Expiration  Date and not withdrawn in
accordance with Section 4 of this Offer to Purchase.  The term "Expiration Date"
shall mean 12:00 midnight,  Pacific Standard Time, on September 26, 1996, unless
and until the  Purchasers  shall have  extended the period of time for which the
Offer is open, in which event the term  "Expiration  Date" shall mean the latest
time and date on which  the  Offer,  as so  extended  by the  Purchasers,  shall
expire.

<PAGE>

     The Offer is conditioned on satisfaction of certain conditions. See Section
13, which sets forth in full the conditions of the Offer. The Purchasers reserve
the right  (but  shall not be  obligated),  in its sole  discretion  and for any
reason, to waive any or all of such conditions.  If, by the Expiration Date, any
or all of such  conditions  have not been  satisfied  or waived,  the  Purchaser
reserves the right (but shall not be  obligated)  to (i) decline to purchase any
of the Units  tendered,  terminate  the Offer and return all  tendered  Units to
tendering Unitholders, (ii) waive all the unsatisfied conditions and, subject to
complying with applicable rules and regulations of the Commission,  purchase all
Units  validly  tendered,  (iii)  extend the Offer and,  subject to the right of
Unitholders to withdraw Units until the Expiration  Date,  retain the Units that
have been tendered  during the period or periods for which the Offer is extended
or (iv) to amend the Offer.

             The  Purchasers do not anticipate and has no reason to believe that
any  condition  or event  will  occur that would  prevent  the  Purchasers  from
purchasing tendered Units as offered herein.

             Section 2. Proration; Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Units.
If the number of Units validly  tendered  prior to the  Expiration  Date and not
withdrawn is 2,818,800 or less,  the  Purchasers,  upon the terms and subject to
the conditions of the Offer, will accept for payment all Units so tendered.

             If the number of Units  validly  tendered  prior to the  Expiration
Date and not withdrawn  exceeds  2,818,800,  the Purchasers,  upon the terms and
subject  to the  conditions  of the Offer,  will  accept  for  payment  Units so
tendered on a pro rata basis.

             In the event that proration is required,  because of the difficulty
of  immediately  determining  the precise  number of Units to be  accepted,  the
Purchasers  will announce the final results of proration as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than five business days following the Expiration Date. The
Purchasers  will not pay for any Units tendered until after the final  proration
factor has been determined.

             Upon  the  terms  and  subject  to  the  conditions  of  the  Offer
(including, if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any
extension or amendment),  the Purchasers  will accept for payment,  and will pay
for, Units validly  tendered and not withdrawn in accordance  with Section 4, as
promptly as practicable following the Expiration Date. In all cases, payment for
Units purchased  pursuant to the Offer will be made only after timely receipt by
the Depositary of a properly  completed and duly executed  Letter of Transmittal
(or  facsimile  thereof)  and any  other  documents  required  by the  Letter of
Transmittal.

             For purposes of the Offer,  the Purchasers  shall be deemed to have
accepted for payment (and thereby purchased)  tendered Units when, as and if the
Purchasers  give oral or written  notice to the  Depositary  of the  Purchasers'
acceptance for payment of such Units  pursuant to the Offer.  Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of the Offer,  payment for Units purchased pursuant to
the Offer  will in all cases be made by  deposit  of the  Offer  Price  with the
Depositary,  which  will  act as agent  for the  tendering  Unitholders  for the
purpose of receiving  payment from the  Purchasers and  transmitting  payment to
tendering Unitholders. Under no circumstances will interest be paid on the Offer
Price by reason of any delay in making such payment.

             If any tendered Units are not purchased for any reason,  the Letter
of  Transmittal  with respect to such Units not purchased will be of no force or
effect.  If, for any reason  whatsoever,  acceptance  for payment of, or payment
for, any Units  tendered  pursuant to the Offer is delayed or the Purchasers are
unable to accept for payment, purchase or pay for Units tendered pursuant to the
Offer,  then,  without prejudice to the Purchasers' rights under Section 13 (but
subject to compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act), the Depositary
may, nevertheless, on behalf of the Purchasers, retain tendered Units,


<PAGE>

subject  to any  limitations  of  applicable  law,  and  such  Units  may not be
withdrawn  except to the extent that the tendering  Unitholders  are entitled to
withdrawal rights as described in Section 4.

             If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Purchasers shall increase the
consideration  offered to  Unitholders  pursuant  to the Offer,  such  increased
consideration  shall be paid for all Units accepted for payment  pursuant to the
Offer, whether or not such Units were tendered prior to such increase.

             Section 3. Procedures for Tendering Units.

             Valid  Tender.  For Units to be validly  tendered  pursuant  to the
Offer, a properly  completed and duly executed  Letter of Transmittal (a copy of
which is enclosed and printed on orange paper) with any other documents required
by the Letter of  Transmittal  must be received by the Depositary at its address
set  forth  on the  back  cover of this  Offer  to  Purchase  on or prior to the
Expiration  Date.  A  Unitholder  may  tender  any or all  Units  owned  by such
Unitholder.

             In order for a tendering  Unitholder to  participate  in the Offer,
Units must be validly  tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration  Date,
which is 12:00 midnight,  Pacific  Standard Time, on September 26, 1996, or such
date to which the Offer may be extended.

             The method of delivery of the Letter of  Transmittal  and all other
required  documents is at the option and risk of the  tendering  Unitholder  and
delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the Depositary.

             Backup  Federal  Income Tax  Withholding.  To prevent the  possible
application of 31% backup federal income tax withholding with respect to payment
of the Offer  Price for Units  purchased  pursuant  to the  Offer,  a  tendering
Unitholder must provide the Depositary with such  Unitholder's  correct taxpayer
identification  number and make certain  certifications  that such Unitholder is
not subject to backup federal income tax withholding.  Each tendering Unitholder
must   insert  in  the  Letter  of   Transmittal   the   Unitholder's   taxpayer
identification  number or social  security  number in the space  provided on the
front of the Letter of  Transmittal.  The Letter of Transmittal  also includes a
substitute Form W-9, which contains the  certifications  referred to above. (See
the Instructions to the Letter of Transmittal.)

     FIRPTA Withholding.  To prevent the withholding of federal income tax in an
amount equal to 10% of the sum of the Offer Price plus the amount of Partnership
liabilities  allocable to each Unit tendered,  each Unitholder must complete the
FIRPTA  Affidavit  included  in  the  Letter  of  Transmittal   certifying  such
Unitholder's taxpayer  identification number and address and that the Unitholder
is not a foreign person.  (See the Instructions to the Letter of Transmittal and
"Section 6. Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences.")

             Other  Requirements.  By executing a Letter of  Transmittal  as set
forth above, a tendering  Unitholder  irrevocably  appoints the designees of the
Purchasers as such Unitholder's  proxies,  in the manner set forth in the Letter
of Transmittal, each with full power of substitution, to the full extent of such
Unitholder's  rights with respect to the Units  tendered by such  Unitholder and
accepted for payment by the Purchasers. Such appointment will be effective when,
and only to the extent that, the Purchasers accept such Units for payment.  Upon
such  acceptance for payment,  all prior proxies given by such  Unitholder  with
respect  to  such  Units  will,  without  further  action,  be  revoked,  and no
subsequent  proxies  may be given  (and if given  will  not be  effective).  The
designees of the Purchasers  will,  with respect to such Units,  be empowered to
exercise  all voting and other rights of such  Unitholder  as they in their sole
discretion may deem proper at any meeting of Unitholders,  by written consent or
otherwise. In addition,


<PAGE>


by  executing  a  Letter  of  Transmittal,  a  Unitholder  also  assigns  to the
Purchasers  all of the  Unitholder's  rights to receive  distributions  from the
Partnership  with respect to Units which are accepted for payment and  purchased
pursuant to the Offer,  other than those  distributions  declared or paid during
the period commencing on the Offer Date and terminating on the Expiration Date.

             Determination of Validity;  Rejection of Units;  Waiver of Defects;
No Obligation to Give Notice of Defects. All questions as to the validity, form,
eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender
of Units  pursuant to the procedures  described  above will be determined by the
Purchasers,  in their sole discretion,  which  determination  shall be final and
binding.  The Purchasers reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders
if not in proper form or if the  acceptance  of, or payment  for,  the  absolute
right to reject any or all  tenders if not in proper  form or if the  acceptance
of, or payment for, the Units  tendered  may, in the opinion of the  Purchasers'
counsel, be unlawful.  The Purchasers also reserve the right to waive any defect
or  irregularity  in any  tender  with  respect to any  particular  Units of any
particular  Unitholder,  and the  Purchasers'  interpretation  of the  terms and
conditions  of  the  Offer   (including  the  Letter  of  Transmittal   and  the
Instructions  thereto) will be final and binding.  Neither the  Purchasers,  the
Depositary,  nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of
any  defects  or  irregularities  in the  tender of any Units or will  incur any
liability for failure to give any such notification.

             A tender of Units pursuant to any of the procedures described above
will  constitute a binding  agreement  between the tendering  Unitholder and the
Purchasers upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer,  including
the tendering Unitholder's  representation and warranty that (i) such Unitholder
owns the Units  being  tendered  within  the  meaning  of Rule  14e-4  under the
Exchange  Act and (ii) the tender of such Unit  complies  with Rule 14e-4.  Rule
14e-4 requires, in general, that a tendering security holder actually be able to
deliver the security subject to the tender offer, and is of concern particularly
to any Unitholders who have granted options to sell or purchase the Units,  hold
option  rights to acquire such  securities,  maintain  "short"  positions in the
Units  (i.e.,  have  borrowed  the  Units) or have  loaned  the Units to a short
seller. Because of the nature of limited partnership  interests,  the Purchasers
believe it is unlikely that any option trading or short selling  activity exists
with respect to the Units.  In any event, a Unit holder will be deemed to tender
Units in  compliance  with Rule  14e-4 and the Offer if the holder is the record
owner of the Units and the holder (i) delivers  the Units  pursuant to the terms
of the Offer,  (ii)  causes  such  delivery to be made,  (iii)  guarantees  such
delivery,  (iv) causes a guaranty of such delivery, or (v) uses any other method
permitted in the Offer (such as facsimile delivery of the Transmittal Letter).

             Section 4. Withdrawal Rights.  Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 4, all tenders of Units pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable,  provided
that Units tendered  pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to
the Expiration Date and, unless theretofore  accepted for payment as provided in
this Offer to Purchase, may also be withdrawn at any time after October 27, 1996
(or such later date as may apply in the event the Offer is extended).

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

             If purchase of, or payment for,  Units is delayed for any reason or
if the Purchasers are unable to purchase or pay for Units for any reason,  then,
without prejudice to the Purchasers' rights under the Offer,  tendered Units may
be retained by the Depositary on behalf of the Purchasers and may not be



<PAGE>



withdrawn  except to the extent  that  tendering  Unitholders  are  entitled  to
withdrawal rights as set forth in this Section 4, subject to Rule 14e-1(c) under
the Exchange Act,  which  provides that no person who makes a tender offer shall
fail to pay the consideration  offered or return the securities  deposited by or
on behalf of security  holders  promptly after the  termination or withdrawal of
the tender offer.

             All  questions  as to the  form  and  validity  (including  time of
receipt) of notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Purchasers, in their
sole discretion,  which  determination  shall be final and binding.  Neither the
Purchasers,  the Depositary, nor any other person will be under any duty to give
notification  of any defects or  irregularities  in any notice of  withdrawal or
will incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.

             Any  Units  properly  withdrawn  will be deemed  not to be  validly
tendered for purposes of the Offer. Withdrawn Units may be re-tendered, however,
by  following  the  procedures  described  in Section 3 at any time prior to the
Expiration Date.

             Section 5. Extension of Tender Period; Termination;  Amendment. The
Purchasers  expressly  reserve the right, in their sole discretion,  at any time
and from time to time,  (i) to extend the period of time during  which the Offer
is open and thereby  delay  acceptance  for payment of, and the payment for, any
Units by giving oral or written notice of such extension to the Depositary, (ii)
to  terminate  the Offer and not accept for  payment  any Units not  theretofore
accepted  for  payment or paid for,  by giving  oral or  written  notice of such
termination to the Depositary,  (iii) upon the occurrence or failure to occur of
any of the  conditions  specified  in Section  13, to delay the  acceptance  for
payment of, or payment  for,  any Units not  heretofore  accepted for payment or
paid for, by giving oral or written  notice of such  termination or delay to the
Depositary,  and (iv) to amend  the  Offer in any  respect  (including,  without
limitation,  by increasing or decreasing the consideration offered or the number
of  Units  being   sought  in  the  Offer  or  both  or  changing  the  type  of
consideration)  by  giving  oral or  written  notice  of such  amendment  to the
Depositary. Any extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly
as  practicable  by  public  announcement,  the  announcement  in the case of an
extension to be issued no later than 9:00 a.m.,  Eastern  Standard  Time, on the
next business day after the previously  scheduled Expiration Date, in accordance
with the public  announcement  requirement  of Rule 14d-4(c)  under the Exchange
Act.  Without limiting the manner in which the Purchasers may choose to make any
public  announcement,  except as  provided by  applicable  law  (including  Rule
14d-4(c)  under the Exchange  Act),  the  Purchasers  will have no obligation to
publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement,  other
than by issuing a release to the Dow Jones News Service. The Purchasers may also
be required by applicable law to disseminate to Unitholders  certain information
concerning the extensions of the Offer and any material  changes in the terms of
the Offer.

             If the Purchasers  extend the Offer, or if the Purchasers  (whether
before or after its  acceptance  for  payment  of Units)  are  delayed  in their
payment  for Units or are unable to pay for Units  pursuant to the Offer for any
reason,  then,  without prejudice to the Purchasers' rights under the Offer, the
Depositary may retain tendered Units on behalf of the Purchasers, and such Units
may not be withdrawn except to the extent tendering  Unitholders are entitled to
withdrawal  rights as  described  in  Section  4.  However,  the  ability of the
Purchasers  to delay  payment for Units that the  Purchasers  have  accepted for
payment is limited by Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, which requires that the
Purchasers pay the consideration  offered or return the securities  deposited by
or on behalf  of  holders  of  securities  promptly  after  the  termination  or
withdrawal of the Offer.

             If the Purchasers  make a material change in the terms of the Offer
or the  information  concerning the Offer or waives a material  condition of the
Offer,  the  Purchasers  will  extend the Offer to the extent  required by Rules
14d-4(c), 14d-6(d) and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act. The minimum



<PAGE>



period during which an offer must remain open following a material change in the
terms of the offer or information  concerning the offer,  other than a change in
price or a change in percentage of securities sought, will depend upon the facts
and circumstances, including the relative materiality of the change in the terms
or  information.  With respect to a change in price or a change in percentage of
securities  sought (other than an increase of not more than 2% of the securities
sought),  however,  a minimum ten business  day period is generally  required to
allow for adequate  dissemination to security holders and for investor response.
As used in this  Offer to  Purchase,  "business  day" means any day other than a
Saturday,  Sunday or a federal  holiday,  and  consists  of the time period from
12:01 a.m. through 12:00 midnight, Pacific Daylight Time.

             Section 6. Certain  Federal  Income Tax  Consequences.  THE FEDERAL
INCOME TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH BELOW IS INCLUDED HEREIN FOR GENERAL INFORMATION
ONLY AND DOES NOT  PURPORT  TO  ADDRESS  ALL  ASPECTS  OF  TAXATION  THAT MAY BE
RELEVANT TO A PARTICULAR  UNITHOLDER.  For  example,  this  discussion  does not
address the effect of any  applicable  foreign,  state,  local or other tax laws
other than  federal  income tax laws.  Certain  Unitholders  (including  trusts,
foreign persons,  tax-exempt  organizations  or corporations  subject to special
rules,  such as life insurance  companies or S  corporations)  may be subject to
special  rules not  discussed  below.  This  discussion is based on the Internal
Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended (the  "Code"),  existing  regulations,  court
decisions and Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rulings and other pronouncements.
EACH UNITHOLDER TENDERING UNITS SHOULD CONSULT SUCH UNITHOLDER'S OWN TAX ADVISOR
AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH UNITHOLDER OF ACCEPTING THE OFFER,
INCLUDING THE APPLICATION OF THE ALTERNATIVE  MINIMUM TAX AND FEDERAL,  FOREIGN,
STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

             The  following  discussion  is  based  on the  assumption  that the
Partnership  is treated as a partnership  for federal income tax purposes and is
not a "publicly traded partnership" as that term is defined in the Code.

             Gain or Loss. A taxable Unitholder will recognize a gain or loss on
the sale of such Unitholder's Units in an amount equal to the difference between
(i)  the  amount  realized  by  such  Unitholder  on  the  sale  and  (ii)  such
Unitholder's  adjusted  tax basis in the Units  sold.  The amount  realized by a
Unitholder will include the Unitholder's share of the Partnership's liabilities,
if any (as determined under Code section 752 and the regulations thereunder). If
the  Unitholder  reports a loss on the sale,  such loss  generally  could not be
currently  deducted by such Unitholder except against such Unitholder's  capital
gains  from  other  investments.  In  addition,  such loss would be treated as a
passive activity loss. (See "Suspended Passive Activity Losses" below.)

             The  adjusted  tax basis in the Units of a  Unitholder  will depend
upon individual  circumstances.  (See also  "Partnership  Allocations in Year of
Sale" below.) Each Unitholder who plans to tender  hereunder should consult with
the Unitholder's  own tax advisor as to the  Unitholder's  adjusted tax basis in
the Unitholder's Units and the resulting tax consequences of a sale.

             If  any  portion  of  the  amount   realized  by  a  Unitholder  is
attributable  to  such  Unitholder's   share  of  "unrealized   receivables"  or
"substantially  appreciated  inventory  items" as defined in Code section 751, a
corresponding  portion  of such  Unitholder's  gain or loss will be  treated  as
ordinary gain or loss. It is possible  that the basis  allocation  rules of Code
Section  751 may  result in a  Unitholder's  recognizing  ordinary  income  with
respect to the portion of the Unitholder's amount realized on the sale of a Unit
that is attributable to such items while recognizing a capital loss with respect
to the remainder of the Unit.




<PAGE>



             A tax-exempt  Unitholder  (other than an organization  described in
Code Section  501(c)(7)  (social club),  501(c)(9)  (voluntary  employee benefit
association),   501(c)(17)   (supplementary   unemployment  benefit  trust),  or
501(c)(20)  (qualified  group legal  services  plan))  should not be required to
recognize unrelated trade or business income upon the sale of its Units pursuant
to the  Offer,  assuming  that  such  Unitholder  does not  hold its  Units as a
"dealer" and has not acquired such Units with debt financed proceeds.

             Partnership  Allocations  in Year of Sale.  A tendering  Unitholder
will be allocated the  Unitholder's  pro rata share of the annual taxable income
and losses from the  Partnership  with  respect to the Units sold for the period
through  the date of sale,  even  though  such  Unitholder  will  assign  to the
Purchasers its rights to receive certain cash distributions with respect to such
Units. Such allocations and any Partnership  distributions for such period would
affect a Unitholder's  adjusted tax basis in the tendered Units and,  therefore,
the  amount  of gain or loss  recognized  by the  Unitholder  on the sale of the
Units.

             Possible Tax Termination.  The Code provides that if 50% or more of
the capital and profits  interests in a partnership are sold or exchanged within
a single 12-month period, such partnership  generally will terminate for federal
income tax purposes.  It is possible,  although  deemed by the  Purchasers to be
unlikely (given the limited number of Units subject to the Offer and the limited
secondary  market for the  Units),  that the  Partnership  could  terminate  for
federal income tax purposes as a result of consummation of the Offer. If so, the
Partnership  will be treated as having  made a  liquidating  distribution  of an
undivided interest in all of its assets to the Unitholders,  the partners of the
Partnership after consummation of the Offer (i.e., the nontendering  Unitholders
and the Purchasers) would be treated as having  recontributed their interests in
Partnership assets to the Partnership,  and the capital accounts of all partners
would  be  restated.  A  Unitholder  would  recognize  gain  on the  liquidating
distribution  only to the extent that the amount of cash deemed  distributed  to
the Unitholder  exceeded the Unitholder's  basis in the Units.  Depending on the
Unitholders'  bases  in  their  Units  and the  Partnership's  tax  basis in its
property,  a tax  termination  could affect,  perhaps  adversely,  the amount of
depreciation deductions reported by the Partnership for the period following the
date of such  termination.  A tax termination of the Partnership also could have
the adverse  effect on  Unitholders  whose tax year is not the calendar year, of
the inclusion of more than one year of  Partnership  tax items in one tax return
of such  Unitholders,  resulting in a "bunching" of income.  In addition,  a tax
termination  could have the adverse  effect on non-  tendering  Unitholders  who
subsequently  dispose  of  their  Units at a gain of  requiring  them to treat a
greater  portion of such gain as ordinary income (due to the application of Code
Section 735) than would  otherwise be required  absent a tax  termination of the
Partnership.

             Suspended  "Passive Activity Losses". A Unitholder who sells all of
the  Unitholder's  Units would be able to deduct  "suspended"  passive  activity
losses  from the  Partnership,  if any,  in the year of sale free of the passive
activity loss  limitation.  As a limited partner of the  Partnership,  which was
engaged in real estate activities,  the ability of a Unitholder, who or which is
subject  to the  passive  activity  loss  rules,  to claim tax  losses  from the
Partnership  was  limited.  Upon  sale of all of the  Unitholder's  Units,  such
Unitholder  would be able to use any "suspended"  passive  activity losses first
against gain, if any, on sale of the Unitholder's  Units and then against income
from any other source.

             Foreign  Unitholders.  Gain  realized by a foreign  Unitholder on a
sale of a Unit  pursuant  to the Offer will be subject  to federal  income  tax.
Under Section 1445 of the Code, the transferee of a partnership interest held by
a foreign person is generally required to deduct and withhold a tax equal to 10%
of the amount realized on the  disposition.  The Purchasers will withhold 10% of
the amount realized by a tendering Unitholder from the purchase price payment to
be made to such Unitholder  unless the Unitholder  properly  completes and signs
the FIRPTA Affidavit included as part of the Letter of



<PAGE>



Transmittal  certifying  the  Unitholder's  TIN,  that such  Unitholder is not a
foreign  person  and  the  Unitholder's  address.   Amounts  withheld  would  be
creditable against a foreign  Unitholder's  federal income tax liability and, if
in excess thereof,  a refund could be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service
by filing a U.S. income tax return.

             Section 7. Effects of the Offer.

             Limitations on Resales. The Partnership Agreement does not restrict
transfers of Units,  provided a transfer results in an assignee holding at least
five hundred Units and complies with any applicable state securities laws.  
Accordingly, the Purchasers neither anticipate any limitation on its right to 
acquire the Units, nor that such  acquisitions will have the effect of limiting 
any further resales of Units.

             Effect on Trading  Market.  There is no established  public trading
market for the Units and,  therefore,  a reduction in the number of  Unitholders
should  not  materially  further  restrict  the  Unitholders'  ability  to  find
purchasers for their Units on any secondary market.

             Voting  Power  of  Purchasers.  Depending  on the  number  of Units
acquired by the  Purchasers  pursuant to the Offer,  the Purchasers may have the
ability  to  exert  certain   influence  on  matters  subject  to  the  vote  of
Unitholders,  though the maximum number of Units sought hereunder would not give
the Purchasers a controlling voting interest.

             The Units are registered  under the Exchange Act,  which  requires,
among other  things that the  Partnership  furnish  certain  information  to its
Unitholders and to the Commission and comply with the  Commission's  proxy rules
in connection with meetings of, and solicitation of consents from,  Unitholders.
The  Purchasers do not believe that the purchase of Units  pursuant to the Offer
will result in the Units becoming eligible for deregistration under the Exchange
Act.

         Section 8. Future  Plans.  Following the  completion of the Offer,  the
Purchasers,  or  their  affiliates,  may  acquire  additional  Units.  Any  such
acquisition  may be made through private  purchases,  through one or more future
tender offers or by any other means deemed  advisable.  Any such acquisition may
be at a consideration  higher or lower than the consideration to be paid for the
Units purchased pursuant to the Offer.

         The Purchasers are acquiring the Units pursuant to the Offer solely for
investment  purposes.  Although the Purchasers have no present intention to seek
control of the  Partnership  or to change the  management  or  operations of the
Partnership, each of the Purchasers reserves the right, at an appropriate time,
to exercise its rights as a limited partner to vote on matters subject to a 
limited partner vote, including a vote to cause the sale of the Partnership's 
remaining assets and the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership.

         Section 9. The Business of the Partnership. Information included herein
concerning  the  Partnership  is derived from the  Partnership's  publicly-filed
reports.   Additional  information  concerning  the  Partnership,   its  assets,
operations  and  management is contained in its annual  reports on Form 10-K and
Quarterly  Reports  on Form  10-Q and  other  filings  with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  Such reports and filings are available for  inspection at
the  Commission's  principal  office in  Washington,  D.C.  and at its  regional
offices in New York, New York and Chicago,  Illinois.  The Purchasers  expressly
disclaim any  responsibility  for the  information  included in such reports and
extracted in this discussion.

         The Partnership was organized in 1986 as a Delaware limited partnership


<PAGE>



for the purpose of  investing  in and  originating  zero  coupon  first and
second  mortgage  loans  to  partnerships  sponsored  by the  General  Partner's
affiliates. The Partnership currently owns two mortgage loan investments.

         Selected  Financial  Data.  Set  forth  below is a summary  of  certain
financial  data  for  the   Partnership   which  has  been  excerpted  from  the
Partnership's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1995
and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

         Except as otherwise set forth herein,  (i) neither the Purchasers  nor,
to the best  knowledge of the  Purchasers,  the persons listed on Schedule I nor
any affiliate of the Purchasers  beneficially owns or has a right to acquire any

     In March, 1990,  Patterson  Financial  Services,  Inc. and C. E. Patterson,
affiliates  of the  Purchasers,  were  found  by  the  National  Association  of
Securities Dealers, Inc. to have violated certain of the compensation guidelines
applicable to its member  broker-dealer  firms.  The  determination  was made in
connection with transactions executed by registered representatives of Patterson
Financial  Services,  Inc.  for the  purchase  and sale of  certain  partnership
interests which occurred in 1987.

         Section 12.  Source of Funds.  The  Purchasers  expect that  $5,637,600
would be required to purchase  2,818,800  Units, if tendered,  and an additional
$50,000  would be required to pay related  fees and  expenses.  The  Purchasers
anticipate  funding all of the purchase price and related expenses through their
existing working capital.

         Section 13. Conditions of the Offer.  Notwithstanding any other term of
the Offer,  the Purchasers shall not be required to accept for payment or to pay
for any Units tendered if all authorizations,  consents, orders or approvals of,
or  declarations  or filings with, or expirations of waiting periods imposed by,
any court,  administrative agency or commission or other governmental  authority
or instrumentality,  domestic or foreign,  necessary for the consummation of the
transactions  contemplated  by the Offer shall not have been filed,  occurred or
been obtained.

         The  Purchasers  shall not be required to accept for payment or pay for
any Units not theretofore  accepted for payment or paid for and may terminate or
amend  the  Offer as to such  Units  if, at any time on or after the date of the
Offer and  before  the  acceptance  of such  Units for  payment  or the  payment
therefor, any of the following conditions exists:

         (a) a preliminary or permanent injunction or other order of any federal
         or state court,  government or  governmental  authority or agency shall
         have been issued and shall  remain in effect  which (i) makes  illegal,
         delays or otherwise  directly or indirectly  restrains or prohibits the
         making of the Offer or the acceptance for payment of or payment for any
         Units by the



<PAGE>



         Purchasers,  (ii) imposes or confirms limitations on the ability of the
         Purchasers  effectively  to exercise  full rights of  ownership  of any
         Units,  including,  without  limitation,  the  right to vote any  Units
         acquired by the  Purchasers  pursuant to the Offer or  otherwise on all
         matters  properly  presented to the  Partnership's  Unitholders,  (iii)
         requires  divestiture by the  Purchasers of any Units,  (iv) causes any
         material  diminution of the benefits to be derived by the Purchasers as
         a result  of the  transactions  contemplated  by the Offer or (v) might
         materially   adversely   affect  the  business,   properties,   assets,
         liabilities,  financial condition, operations, results of operations or
         prospectus of the Purchasers or the Partnership;

         (b) there shall be any action taken, or any statute,  rule,  regulation
         or order proposed,  enacted,  enforced,  promulgated,  issued or deemed
         applicable  to the Offer by any federal or state court,  government  or
         governmental  authority or agency,  other than the  application  of the
         waiting   period   provisions   of  the   Hart-Scott-Rodino   Antitrust
         Improvements  Act  of  1976,  as  amended,  which  might,  directly  or
         indirectly,  result in any of the  consequences  referred to in clauses
         (i) through (v) of paragraph (a) above;

         (c) any change or  development  shall have occurred or been  threatened
         since  the  date  hereof,   in  the   business,   properties,   assets,
         liabilities,  financial condition, operations, results of operations or
         prospects of the Partnership,  which, in the reasonable judgment of the
         Purchasers, is or may be materially adverse to the Partnership,  or the
         Purchasers  shall have become aware of any fact that, in the reasonable
         judgment of the Purchasers,  does or may have a material adverse effect
         on the value of the Units;

         (d) there shall have occurred (i) any general suspension of trading in,
         or  limitation  on prices for,  securities  on any national  securities
         exchange or in the over-the-counter market in the United States, (ii) a
         declaration  of a banking  moratorium or any  suspension of payments in
         respect  of banks in the United  States,  (iii) any  limitation  by any
         governmental  authority  on, or other  event which  might  affect,  the
         extension of credit by lending institutions or result in any imposition
         of currency controls in the United States, (iv) a commencement of a war
         or  armed  hostilities  or other  national  or  international  calamity
         directly or  indirectly  involving  the United  States,  (v) a material
         change  in  United  States  or  other  currency  exchange  rates  or  a
         suspension of a limitation on the markets thereof,  or (vi) in the case
         of any of the foregoing existing at the time of the commencement of the
         Offer, a material acceleration or worsening thereof; or

         (e) it shall have been publicly  disclosed or the Purchasers shall have
         otherwise  learned that (i) more than fifty percent of the  outstanding
         Units  have been or are  proposed  to be  acquired  by  another  person
         (including  a "group"  within the  meaning of Section  13(d)(3)  of the
         Exchange  Act), or (ii) any person or group that prior to such date had
         filed a Statement with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(d) or (g)
         of the Exchange Act has increased or proposes to increase the number of
         Units  beneficially  owned by such person or group as disclosed in such
         Statement by two percent or more of the outstanding Units.

         The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of the Purchasers and
may be asserted by the Purchasers regardless of the circumstances giving rise to
such  conditions  or may be waived by the  Purchasers in whole or in part at any
time and from time to time in their  sole  discretion.  Any  termination  by the
Purchasers  concerning the events described above will be final and binding upon
all parties.

         Section 14. Certain Legal Matters.

         General. Except as set forth in this Section 14, the Purchasers are not
aware of any  filings,  approvals  or other  actions by any  domestic or foreign
governmental  or  administrative  agency  that  would be  required  prior to the
acquisition  of Units by the Purchasers  pursuant to the Offer.  Should any such
approval or other action be required,  it is the Purchasers's  present intention
that such  additional  approval  or action  would be sought.  While  there is no
present  intent to delay the  purchase of Units  tendered  pursuant to the Offer
pending  receipt  of any such  additional  approval  or the  taking  of any such
action,  there can be no assurance that any such additional  approval or action,
if needed,  would be obtained  without  substantial  conditions  or that adverse
consequences  might not result to the  Partnership's  business,  or that certain
parts of the  Partnership's  business  might not have to be  disposed of or held
separate or other substantial  conditions  complied with in order to obtain such
approval  or  action,  any of  which  could  cause  the  Purchasers  to elect to
terminate  the  Offer  without  purchasing  Units  thereunder.  The  Purchasers'
obligation  to  purchase  and pay for Units is subject  to  certain  conditions,
including conditions related to the legal matters discussed in this Section 14.

         Antitrust.  The Purchasers do not believe that the Hart-Scott-Rodino 
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, is applicable to the acquisition
of Units pursuant to the Offer.

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

         State Takeover Laws. A number of states have adopted anti-takeover laws
which  purport,  to varying  degrees,  to be  applicable  to attempts to acquire
securities of corporations  which are  incorporated in such states or which have
substantial assets,  security holders,  principal executive offices or principal
places of  business  therein.  These laws are  directed  at the  acquisition  of
corporations and not  partnerships.  The Purchasers,  therefore,  do not believe
that any anti-takeover laws apply to the transactions contemplated by the Offer.

         Although  the  Purchasers  have not  attempted to comply with any state
anti-takeover  statutes in connection with the Offer, the Purchasers reserve the
right to challenge  the  validity or  applicability  of any state law  allegedly
applicable  to the Offer and  nothing  in this  Offer  nor any  action  taken in
connection  herewith  is  intended  as a  waiver  of such  right.  If any  state
anti-takeover statute is applicable to the Offer, the Purchasers might be unable
to accept for payment or  purchase  Units  tendered  pursuant to the Offer or be
delayed in continuing or  consummating  the Offer.  In such case, the Purchasers
may not be obligated to accept for purchase or pay for any Units tendered.

         Section 15. Fees and  Expenses.  The  Purchasers  have not retained any
agents to solicit Unit holders in connection with the Offer.  The Purchasers and
their  employees  and  management  may contact Unit holders by mail,  telephone,
telex,  telegraph  and personal  interview,  and may request  brokers,  dealers,
commercial banks,  trust companies and other nominees for holders to forward the
Offer material to the beneficial owners of Units.

         The Purchasers have retained MacKenzie Patterson, Inc., an affiliate of
the  Purchasers,  to act  as  Depositary  in  connection  with  the  Offer.  The
Purchasers will pay the Depositary reasonable and customary compensation for its
services in connection  with the Offer,  plus  reimbursement  for  out-of-pocket
expenses,  and will indemnify the Depositary  against  certain  liabilities  and
expenses  in  connection  therewith,  including  liabilities  under the  federal
securities  laws.  The  Purchasers  will  also pay all  costs  and  expenses  of
printing, publication and mailing of the Offer.



<PAGE>



         Section  16.  Miscellaneous.  THE OFFER IS NOT BEING  MADE TO (NOR WILL
TENDERS BE ACCEPTED FROM OR ON BEHALF OF)  UNITHOLDERS  IN ANY  JURISDICTION  IN
WHICH  THE  MAKING  OF THE  OFFER  OR THE  ACCEPTANCE  THEREOF  WOULD  NOT BE IN
COMPLIANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF SUCH  JURISDICTION.  THE PURCHASERS IS NOT AWARE OF
ANY  JURISDICTION  WITHIN THE UNITED  STATES IN WHICH THE MAKING OF THE OFFER OR
THE ACCEPTANCE THEREOF WOULD BE ILLEGAL.

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

certification  may be disclosed to the IRS by the  Purchasers and that any false
statements contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

          this Letter of Transmittal. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by
          trustees, administrators,  guardians,  attorneys-in-fact,  officers of
          corporations,  or  others  acting  in a  fiduciary  or  representative
          capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing and must submit
          proper  evidence  satisfactory to the Purchasers of their authority to
          so act. For Units to be validly  tendered,  a properly  completed  and

          notarizations  or  signature  guarantees  in  BOX  A,  and  any  other

          resident  alien   individual,   a  domestic   corporation,a   domestic
          partnership,  a  domestic  trust or a  domestic  estate  (collectively
          "United  States  persons")  as those terms are defined in the Internal
          Revenue  Code  and  Income  Tax   Regulations,   should  complete  the
          following:

         Box B - Substitute  Form W-9. In order to avoid 31% federal  income tax
         backup  withholding,  the Unitholder must provide to the Purchasers the
         Unitholder's correct Taxpayer  Identification Number or Social Security
         Number  ("TIN")  in the space  provided  below the  signature  line and
         certify,  under  penalties  of  perjury,  that such  Unitholder  is not
         subject to such  backup  withholding.  The TIN that must be provided is
         that of the registered Unitholder indicated on the front of this Letter
         of  Transmittal.  If a correct TIN is not  provided,  penalties  may be
         imposed by the Internal  Revenue  Service  ("IRS"),  in addition to the
         Unitholder  being subject to backup  withholding.  Certain  Unitholders
         (including,  among others,  all corporations) are not subject to backup
         withholding.   Backup   withholding  is  not  an  additional   tax.  If
         withholding  results  in an  overpayment  of  taxes,  a  refund  may be
         obtained from the IRS.

         Box C -  FIRPTA  Affidavit.  To  avoid  potential  withholding  of  tax
         pursuant to Section 1445 of the Internal  Revenue Code, each Unitholder
         who or which is a United States Person (as defined Instruction 3 above)
         must certify,  under  penalties of perjury,  the  Unitholder's  TIN and
         address,  and that the Unitholder is not a foreign person. Tax withheld
         under  Section 1445 of the Internal  Revenue Code is not an  additional
         tax. If  withholding  results in an overpayment of tax, a refund may be
         obtained from the IRS.

4.       Box D - Foreign  Persons.  In order for a  Unitholder  who is a foreign
         person  (i.e.,  not a United  States  Person as  defined in 3 above) to

         OFFER TO PURCHASE CAPITAL GROWTH MORTGAGE INVESTORS, L.P. UNITS
                               FOR $2.00 PER UNIT


Dear Limited Partner:

         As described in the  enclosed  Offer to Purchase and related  Letter of
Transmittal  (the  "Offer"),  the  Purchasers  identified  above are offering to
purchase your Limited  Partnership  Units in Capital Growth Mortgage  Investors,
L.P. ("Capital Growth") for $2.00 cash per Unit. The Offer will provide you with
an  opportunity  to liquidate  all, or a portion of, your  investment in Capital
Growth  without the usual  transaction  costs  associated  with market  sales or
partnership  transfer fees. The Purchasers and their affiliates currently own or
control approximately 0.003% of the Units.

         The General  Partner of Capital  Growth  estimated at December 31, 1995
that,  for ERISA tax  reporting  purposes,  the value of the Units was $2.10 per
Unit.  The book value of each Unit as of June 30, 1996,  was $2.20 per Unit and,
as of December 31, 1995,  the book value was $2.11 per Unit.  The offer price of
$2.00  per  Unit  represents  between  90%  and  95%  of  these  values  and  is
substantially in excess of recent secondary market trading prices for the Units.

         Holders of Units  ("Unitholders")  are urged to consider the  following
factors:

                           - The purchase  price  offered by the  Purchasers  is
                  less than the General Partner's  estimated value for ERISA tax
                  reporting  purposes of $2.10 per Unit at December 31, 1995 and
                  is also less  than the  Partnership's  book  value per Unit of
                  $2.11 as of December 31, 1995, and $2.20 as of June 30, 1996.

                           - Unitholders who tender their Units will give up the
                  opportunity  to  participate  in any future  benefits from the
                  ownership of Units,  including potential future  distributions
                  by the Partnership, and the purchase price per Unit payable to
                  a tendering  Unitholder by the Purchasers may be less than the
                  total  amount  which  might   otherwise  be  received  by  the
                  Unitholder with respect to the Unit over the remaining term of
                  the Partnership.

                           - The  Purchasers are making the Offer for investment
                  purposes  and with the  intention  of making a profit from the
                  ownership of the Units. In establishing  the purchase price of
                  $2.00 per Unit,  the Purchasers are motivated to establish the
                  lowest  price  which  might  be  acceptable   to   Unitholders
                  consistent with the Purchasers' objectives.

                           - As a  result  of  consummation  of the  Offer,  the
                  Purchasers may be in a position to significantly influence all
                  Partnership  decisions  on which  Unitholders  may  vote.  The
                  Purchasers  will vote the Units  acquired  in the Offer in its
                  own interest,  which may be different from or in conflict with
                  the interests of the remaining Unitholders.

                           - The  Purchasers  may  accept  only a portion of the
                  Units  tendered by a  Unitholder  in the event a total of more
                  than 2,818,800 Units are tendered.

         After carefully reading the enclosed Offer, if you elect to tender your
Units,  mail  (using  the  enclosed  pre-addressed,  postage-paid  envelope)  or
telecopy a duly  completed and executed copy of the orange Letter of Transmittal
and Change of Address forms,  and any other documents  required by the Letter of
Transmittal, to the Depositary for the Offer at:
