September 15, 2000
Dear Limited Partner:
It is our pleasure to provide you with the enclosed Consent Solicitation
Statement. The Statement contains information relating to an amendment to the
Limited Partnership Agreement of Multi-Benefit Realty Fund `87-1 that requires
the consent of a majority of the limited partners of your partnership. In
general, the amendment, if approved, would:
o Eliminate the requirement for your partnership to maintain reserves equal
to at least $533,950, which amount is equal to 5% of the limited partners
capital contributions less distributions to limited partners from
participating note payments and instead permit your general partner to
determine reasonable reserve requirements of your partnership.
o Provide your partnership with greater flexibility in making distributions
to limited partners as the working capital reserve required by your
partnership may be reduced.
Concap Equities, Inc., the general partner of your partnership, believes
that the amendment is in the best interests of limited partners and your
partnership and recommends you vote "FOR" of the amendment. In addition,
affiliates of your general partner own approximately 57.11% of the limited
partnership interests in your partnership and have informed your general partner
that they intend to vote "FOR" the amendment. Accordingly, the approval of the

STATEMENT FURNISHED IN CONNECITON WITH
THE SOLICITATION OF CONSENTS
Dated: September 15, 2000
This Statement is furnished by Concap Equities, Inc., the general partner
of Multi-Benefit Realty Fund `87-1, a California limited partnership, to solicit
the consent of limited partners of your partnership to an amendment to the
Limited Partnership Agreement of your partnership. The principal executive
offices of your general partner and your partnership are located at Tower Two,
2000 South Colorado Boulevard, Suite 2 - 1000, Denver, Colorado 80222.
The amendment, if adopted, would result in the amendment to your
partnership agreement which, if approved, would:
o Eliminate the restriction set forth in your partnership agreement for your
partnership to maintain a reserve equal to 5% of the limited partners
capital contributions less distributions to limited partners from
participating note payments, which amount is currently $533,950 and
instead permit your general partner to determine reasonable reserve
requirements of your partnership.
o Provide your partnership with greater flexibility in making distributions
to limited partners as the working capital reserve required by your
partnership may be reduced.
Your general partner believes that adoption of the amendment is in the
best interests of your partnership and the limited partners and recommends that
you vote "FOR" in favor of the amendment.
IMPORTANT
Your consent is important. No matter how many class "A" and class "B"
units of limited partnership interest ("Units") in your partnership you own,
your general partner recommends that you vote in favor of approving the
amendment by checking the "FOR" box on the enclosed Consent Form. Affiliates of
your general partner currently hold a total of 83,288.5 class "A" and class "B"
Units representing 57.11% of the total outstanding Units. Such affiliates have
advised your general partner that they intend to vote FOR the amendment.
Accordingly, the approval of the amendment is assured with or without your vote.
However, your vote is important and we request that you complete the enclosed
Consent Form indicating your vote "FOR" or "Against" the amendment.
Your Consent Form should be returned promptly. Your completed and signed
Consent Form must be received no later than October 16, 2000, unless such date
is extended as hereinafter provided. A postage-paid return envelope has been
included for your convenience. Any consent form that is not returned or that is
signed and does not specifically approve or disapprove the amendment will
effectively be treated as disapproving the amendment.

River Oaks Partnership Services, Inc. is assisting your general partner
with the solicitation and may be contacted at (877) 393-4962.
THE AMENDMENT
Your general partner is seeking the consent of the limited partners to
eliminate the restriction set forth in your partnership agreement which requires
that your partnership maintain a reserve of no less than 5% of the of the
limited partners capital contributions less distributions to limited partners
from participating note payments. At present, this amount is equal to $533,950.
In order to effect this amendment, the consent of a majority in interest of the
limited partners is required. Affiliates of your general partner currently hold
a total of 60,253 class "A" Units and 37,662 class "B" Units representing 57.11%
of the total outstanding Units. Such affiliates have advised your general
partner that they intend to vote FOR the amendment. Further, any reserve
requirements may be limited by the terms of the loans encumbering your
partnership's properties from time to time.
Text of the Amendment
Section 6.13 of your partnership agreement currently provides as follows:
"Section 6.13 Reserves. The Partnership shall maintain reasonable
reserves for normal repairs, replacements, working capital and
contingencies in an amount equal to at least five percent (5%) of
Invested Capital. For purposes of this calculation only, Surplus
Funds from the sale of Partnership Properties shall be deducted from
Capital Contributions in determining Invested Capital. In the event
expenditures are made from these reserves, operating revenue shall
be allocated to such reserves to the extent necessary to maintain
the foregoing level. The General Partner in its sole discretion may
from time to time maintain working capital reserves of a larger
amount, if deemed necessary, for Partnership business."
Your general partner is seeking the consent of the limited partners to
adopt an amendment to Section 6.13 so that it would read in its entirety as
follows:
"Section 6.13 Reserves. The Partnership shall maintain reasonable
reserves for normal working capital and contingencies in an amount
determined from time to time by your general partner in it sole
discretion."
Effects of Amendment if Adopted
If the amendment is adopted, your general partner will have the discretion
to maintain your partnership's reserves at such level as it deems advisable as
compared to a fixed minimum amount. If adopted, your general partner intends to
reduce the current reserve amount from $533,950 to an amount which it believes
is warranted given the anticipated expenses of your partnership. The amount of
any such reduction will be distributed to your partnership's
2
<PAGE>
partners (including, your general partner, to the extent provided in the
partnership agreement, and to affiliates of your general partner who hold
Units).
Although your general partner has not completed its assessment of the
final reserve amount that it believes your partnership should maintain, your
general partner believes that the existing reserve amount is in excess of the
reserve amount needed by your partnership. This determination was based on a
preliminary review of past capital expenditures made at your partnership's
properties, current operating budgets and projected capital improvements
required to be made at your partnership's properties in near future.
By eliminating the reserve amount requirement, your partnership will have
greater flexibility when determining whether to make a distribution to its
partners. However, if your partnership's properties require capital expenditures
in excess of those currently anticipated and/or the revenue generated at your
partnership's properties were to be significantly reduced, the ability of your
partnership to make such additional capital expenditures as needed or to meet
its debt service obligations would be adversely effected. The following table
sets for the principal balance at June 30, 2000 of the mortgage loans
encumbering your partnership's properties, the interest rate on such loans, the
required monthly payments due on such loans and the maturity date of such loans
and the principal amount due on such loans at maturity.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Principal Balance Principal Balance
Property at 6/30/00 Interest Rate Monthly Payments Maturity Date at Maturity
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Hunt Club $3,596,312 8.30% $32,000 10/01/00 $3,575,000
Shadow Brook $6,000,000 7.33% $37,000 11/01/03 $6,000,000
</TABLE>
Further, your general partner has budgeted approximately $379,000 for
capital improvements at your partnership's remaining properties during 2000. As
of June 30, 2000, your partnership has completed $150,000 of capital
improvements at its remaining properties. As a result of these risks, your
general partner has determined to maintain a current reserve in an amount
sufficient to satisfy anticipated capital expenditures and debt service for the
near future.
Effects if Amendment is not Adopted
If the amendment is not adopted, your partnership will continue to be
subject to the reserve restrictions set forth in Section 6.13 of your
partnership agreement. As a result, your partnership will be required to
maintain a reserve equal to 5% of the of the limited partners capital
contributions less distributions to limited partners from participating note
payments. Furthermore, because your partnership will be required to maintain
this reserve, your partnership's ability to make distributions to the limited
partners will continue to be limited.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADOPTION OF THE AMENDMENTS
Article XVII of your partnership agreement provides that the limited
partners, by vote of more than 50% of the outstanding Units, shall have the
right to amend your partnership agreement. Article XIV of your partnership
agreement provides that your general partner may seek the consent of limited
partners to any amendment to your partnership agreement requiring the vote of
limited partners. Your general partner hereby solicits the consent of limited
partners to amend your partnership agreement in accordance with the terms of the
amendment set forth above under "THE AMENDMENT-Text of the Amendment".
Limited partners at the close of business on September 1, 2000 (the
"Record Date") will be entitled to one vote for each Unit then held. On the
Record Date, there were 96,284 class "A" Units outstanding held by 389 limited
partners, including 60,253 Units owned by affiliates of your general partner,
and 75,152 class "B" Units outstanding held by 536 limited partners, including
37,662 Units owned by affiliates of your general partner.
The amendment will be approved at such time as limited partners holding a
majority of the outstanding Units shall have consented to the amendment but in
no event prior to September 30, 2000. A limited partner must vote all of the
Units held by him in the same way. He cannot vote separate Units held by him in
your partnership in differing ways. A signed Consent Form which is returned
without a vote will be deemed a "FOR" vote.
Each limited partner is requested to complete and execute the enclosed
Consent Form in accordance with the instructions contained therein and to return
the Consent Form in the enclosed, self-addressed, postage pre-paid envelope as
soon as possible, but in no event later than October 16, 2000. Such date may be
extended from time to time in the sole discretion of your general partner until
November 13, 2000.
A Consent Form may only be revoked by delivery to your partnership of a
later-dated Consent Form in the form enclosed or a dated and executed revocation
that specifically refers to the Consent Form to be revoked. To be effective,
such revocation must be received by your partnership prior to the time that
signed unrevoked Consent Forms voting in favor of the amendment and representing
a majority of the Units outstanding have been delivered to your general
partners.
The amendment will apply prospectively from and after the date it becomes
effective. All limited partners will be bound by the amendment, if it becomes
effective, whether or not they vote in favor of the amendment.
