                           (Unaudited)


(1)  The  condensed  statements included herein have been  prepared
     by  the Partnership, without audit, pursuant to the rules  and
     regulations  of  the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  and
     reflect   all  adjustments  which  are,  in  the  opinion   of
     management,  necessary to a fair statement of the  results  of
     operations for the interim period, on a basis consistent  with
     the  annual audited statements.  The adjustments made to these
     condensed   statements  consist  only  of   normal   recurring
     adjustments.   Certain information, accounting  policies,  and
     footnote    disclosures   normally   included   in   financial
     statements  prepared  in  accordance with  generally  accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted  pursuant
     to  such  rules  and  regulations,  although  the  Partnership
     believes  that  the  disclosures  are  adequate  to  make  the
     information  presented not misleading.  It is  suggested  that
     these  condensed financial statements be read  in  conjunction
     with  the  financial statements and the summary of significant
     accounting  policies  and  notes  thereto  included   in   the
     Partnership's latest annual report on Form 10-KSB.
 
(2)  Organization -

     AEI  Real  Estate Fund XVI Limited Partnership (Partnership)
     was  formed  to  acquire and lease commercial properties  to
     operating tenants.  The Partnership's operations are managed
     by AEI Fund Management XVI, Inc. (AFM), the Managing General
     Partner   of  the  Partnership.   Robert  P.  Johnson,   the
     President  and  sole  shareholder  of  AFM,  serves  as  the
     Individual General Partner of the Partnership.  An affiliate
     of  AFM,  AEI  Fund  Management, Inc.  (AEI),  performs  the
     administrative and operating functions for the Partnership.
     
     The   terms   of  the  Partnership  offering  call   for   a
     subscription  price of $1,000 per Limited Partnership  Unit,
     payable   on  acceptance  of  the  offer.   The  Partnership
     commenced  operations  on  February  6,  1987  when  minimum
     subscriptions    of   2,000   Limited   Partnership    Units
     ($2,000,000)  were  accepted.   The  Partnership's  offering
     terminated on November 6, 1987 when the maximum subscription
     limit of 15,000 Limited Partnership Units ($15,000,000)  was
     reached.
     
     Under  the  terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement,  the
     Limited  Partners and General Partners contributed funds  of
     $15,000,000 and $1,000, respectively.  During the  operation
     of the Partnership, any Net Cash Flow, as defined, which the
     General Partners determine to distribute will be distributed
     90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners;
     provided,  however, that such distributions to  the  General
     Partners will be subordinated to the Limited Partners  first
     receiving an annual, noncumulative distribution of Net  Cash
     Flow equal to 10% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution, as
     defined,  and, provided further, that in no event  will  the
     General Partners receive less than 1% of such Net Cash  Flow
     per  annum.  Distributions to Limited Partners will be  made
     pro rata by Units.

(2)  Organization - (Continued)

     Any  Net  Proceeds  of Sale, as defined, from  the  sale  or
     financing of the Partnership's properties which the  General
     Partners determine to distribute will, after provisions  for
     debts  and  reserves, be paid in the following  manner:  (i)
     first,  99%  to the Limited Partners and 1% to  the  General
     Partners until the Limited Partners receive an amount  equal
     to:  (a)  their Adjusted Capital Contribution  plus  (b)  an
     amount  equal  to 6% of their Adjusted Capital  Contribution
     per  annum, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not
     previously distributed from Net Cash Flow; (ii) next, 99% to
     the  Limited  Partners and 1% to the General Partners  until
     the Limited Partners receive an amount equal to 14% of their
     Adjusted Capital Contribution per annum, cumulative but  not
     compounded, to the extent not previously distributed;  (iii)
     next, to the General Partners until cumulative distributions
     to the General Partners under Items (ii) and (iii) equal 15%
     of cumulative distributions to all Partners under Items (ii)
     and (iii).  Any remaining balance will be distributed 85% to
     the  Limited  Partners  and  15% to  the  General  Partners.
     Distributions to the Limited Partners will be made pro  rata
     by Units.
     
     For  tax  purposes,  profits  from  operations,  other  than
     profits  attributable  to  the  sale,  exchange,  financing,
     refinancing   or  other  disposition  of  the  Partnership's
     property,  will  be  allocated first in the  same  ratio  in
     which,  and  to the extent, Net Cash Flow is distributed  to
     the Partners for such year.  Any additional profits will  be
     allocated 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General
     Partners.   In the event no Net Cash Flow is distributed  to
     the  Limited  Partners,  90% of  each  item  of  Partnership
     income,  gain  or credit for each respective year  shall  be
     allocated to the Limited Partners, and 10% of each such item
     shall be allocated to the General Partners.  Net losses from
     operations will be allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and
     2% to the General Partners.
     
     For  tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing,
     or  other disposition of the Partnership's property will  be
     allocated  in  accordance with the Partnership Agreement  as
     follows:  (i) first, to those Partners with deficit balances
     in  their capital accounts in an amount equal to the sum  of
     such  deficit  balances; (ii) second,  99%  to  the  Limited
     Partners  and 1% to the General Partners until the aggregate
     balance in the Limited Partners' capital accounts equals the
     sum  of the Limited Partners' Adjusted Capital Contributions
     plus  an  amount  equal  to 14% of  their  Adjusted  Capital
     Contributions  per annum, cumulative but not compounded,  to
     the  extent  not previously allocated; (iii) third,  to  the
     General Partners until cumulative allocations to the General
     Partners equal 15% of cumulative allocations.  Any remaining
     balance  will  be allocated 85% to the Limited Partners  and
     15%  to the General Partners.  Losses will be allocated  98%
     to the Limited Partners and 2% to the General Partners.
     
     The  General Partners are not required to currently  fund  a
     deficit capital balance. Upon liquidation of the Partnership
     or  withdrawal  by  a General Partner, the General  Partners
     will  contribute to the Partnership an amount equal  to  the
     lesser of the deficit balances in their capital accounts  or
     1%  of total Limited Partners' and General Partners' capital
     contributions.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate -

     The  Partnership  owns a 35% interest  in  a  J.T.  McCord's
     restaurant in Mesquite, Texas and a 100% interest in a  J.T.
     McCord's  restaurant in Irving, Texas.  In  December,  1995,
     the  Partnership took possession of the properties after the
     lessee  was unable to perform under the terms of the Leases.
     In  July, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement to
     sell  the  J.T. McCord's in Mesquite, Texas to an  unrelated
     third   party.   In  September,  1996,  the  Agreement   was
     terminated  by the purchaser.  The property was  listed  for
     sale  or  lease until March, 1997 when it was  re-leased  to
     Texas  Sports  City  Cafe, Ltd. under  a  triple  net  lease
     agreement  with  a  primary term of 12 years  which  may  be
     renewed  for  up to two consecutive five-year periods.   The
     Partnership's share of the annual base rent is  $17,500  for
     the  first lease year and $31,500 for the second lease year,
     with  rent increases in each subsequent lease year of either
     three  percent of the prior year's rent or three percent  of
     gross  receipts  in years two and three and six  percent  of
     gross  receipts  thereafter, to the extent they  exceed  the
     base rent.
     
     On December 22, 1997, the Partnership sold the J.T. McCord's
     restaurant  in  Irving, Texas to an unrelated  third  party.
     The  Partnership  received net sales  proceeds  of  $741,635
     which  resulted in a net loss of $109,144.  At the  time  of
     sale,  the cost and related accumulated depreciation of  the
     property  was $1,147,333 and $296,554, respectively.   While
     the properties were being re-leased or sold, the Partnership
     was  responsible for the real estate taxes and  other  costs
     required to maintain the properties.
     
     The Partnership owns a 55.0958% interest in a restaurant  in
     Waco, Texas, which was previously closed.  In June 1995, the
     Partnership  re-leased the restaurant to Tex-Mex  Cocina  of
     Waco,  L.C.   The  Lease Agreement had  a  primary  term  of
     eighteen  months with an annual rental payment  of  $29,752.
     The  Partnership could also receive additional rent if gross
     receipts   from  the  property  exceeded  certain  specified
     amounts.   In  December,  1997, the lessee  elected  not  to
     exercise  the  renewal option in the lease.  The  restaurant
     was  closed  and  is listed for sale or  lease.   While  the
     property is vacant, the Partnership is responsible  for  the
     real  estate taxes and other costs required to maintain  the
     property.
     
     As  of  December  31, 1997, based on an analysis  of  market
     conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value  of
     the   Partnership's  interest  in  the  Waco  property   was
     approximately $385,600.  In the fourth quarter  of  1997,  a
     charge  to operations for real estate impairment of $100,000
     was  recognized,  which is the difference between  the  book
     value  at  December 31, 1997 of $485,600 and  the  estimated
     fair value of $385,600.  The charge was recorded against the
     cost of the land and building.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate - (Continued)

     In  January, 1996, the Cheddar's restaurant in Indianapolis,
     Indiana was destroyed by a fire.  The Partnership reached an
     agreement with the tenant and insurance company which  calls
     for termination of the Lease, demolition of the building and
     payment to the Partnership of $407,282 for the building  and
     equipment and $49,688 for lost rent.  The property will  not
     be  rebuilt  and the Partnership listed the land  for  sale.
     The  Partnership  recognized  net  disposition  proceeds  of
     $406,892  which resulted in a net gain of $88,207.   At  the
     time  of  disposition,  the  cost  and  related  accumulated
     depreciation was $496,967 and $178,282, respectively.  As of
     December 31, 1997, based on an analysis of market conditions
     in  the  area,  it  was determined the  fair  value  of  the
     Partnership's   interest  in  the  land  was   approximately
     $200,000.   In  the  fourth quarter of  1997,  a  charge  to
     operations  for  real  estate  impairment  of  $54,000   was
     recognized, which is the difference between the  book  value
     at  December  31,  1997 of $253,747 and the  estimated  fair
     value of $200,000.
     
     The  Partnership  owned  a 30.8078% interest  in  a  Sizzler
     restaurant  at the King's Island Theme Park near Cincinnati,
     Ohio.    In  January,  1994,  the  Partnership  closed   the
     restaurant and listed it for sale or lease.  On January  23,
     1997,  the Partnership sold its interest in the property  to
     an unrelated third party.  The Partnership received net sale
     proceeds  of  $149,201, which resulted  in  a  net  loss  of
     $216,300,  which was recognized as a real estate  impairment
     in  the  fourth  quarter of 1996.  Prior to  the  sale,  the
     Partnership  was responsible for the real estate  taxes  and
     other costs required to maintain the property.

     In November, 1997, the Partnership entered into an agreement
     to sell the Fuddruckers restaurant in St. Louis, Missouri to
     an unrelated third party.  In March, 1998, the agreement was
     terminated by the purchaser.
     
     In  August, 1996, the Partnership entered into an  agreement
     to purchase a Caribou Coffee store in Atlanta, Georgia.  The
     property  was  acquired on August 15, 1997  for  $1,247,571.
     The property is leased to Caribou Coffee Company, Inc. under
     a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 18 years and annual
     rental payments of $142,025.

     Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, as amended, net  sale
     proceeds may be reinvested in additional properties until  a
     date ten years after the date on which the offer and sale of
     Units  is  terminated.  This period expired on  November  6,
     1997.   In  February,  1998,  the Managing  General  Partner
     proposed  an Amendment to the Limited Partnership  Agreement
     that would allow the Partnership to reinvest the majority of
     the  sale  proceeds  from  the J.T. McCord's  restaurant  in
     Irving,  Texas  and subsequent property sales in  additional
     properties.   The  proposed  Amendment  did  not  receive  a
     majority vote for adoption.
     
     During  the  first  nine  months  of  1998  and  1997,   the
     Partnership distributed $720,416 and $71,631 of the net sale
     proceeds   to   the  Limited  and  General  Partners   which
     represented  a  return of capital of $51.24  and  $5.07  per
     Limited Partnership Unit, respectively.

(4)  Payable to AEI Fund Management -

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

(5)  Deferred Income -

     In  June,  1994, Fuddruckers, Inc., the restaurant concept's
     franchisor,  acquired  the  operations  of  the  Fuddruckers
     restaurants in St. Louis, Missouri and Omaha, Nebraska,  and
     assumed the lease obligations from the original lessee.   As
     part of the agreement, the Partnership amended the Leases to
     reduce the annual base rent from $109,033 to $92,164 for the
     St.  Louis  property and $167,699 to $145,081 for the  Omaha
     property.  The Partnership could receive additional rent  in
     the  future  if  10% of gross receipts from  the  properties
     exceed  the  base  rent.   In consideration  for  the  lease
     assumption  and amendment, the Partnership received  a  lump
     sum  payment from the original lessee of $299,723.  The lump
     sum  payment will be recognized as income over the remainder
     of  the  Lease  terms  which expire  January  31,  2008  and
     November  30, 2007, using the straight line method.   As  of
     September  30,  1998 and December 31, 1997, the  Partnership
     has  recognized  $94,401  and $77,742  of  this  payment  as
     income.   At  September  30, 1998,  the  remaining  deferred
     income of $22,574 was prepaid rent related to certain  other
     Partnership properties.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

       For the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the
Partnership  recognized rental income of $765,927  and  $698,703,
respectively.   During the same periods, the  Partnership  earned
investment income of $16,608 and $59,007, respectively.  In 1998,
rental  income increased as the result of rental income  received
from  the  Caribou  Coffee  in Atlanta,  Georgia,  rental  income
received  from re-leasing the restaurant in Mesquite,  Texas  and
rent increases on four properties.  This increase was offset by a
reduction  in rental income due to the vacancy of the  restaurant
in  Waco,  Texas,  the  expiration of lease  guarantee  insurance
policies  on  two  properties  in  1997,  and  the  reduction  of
percentage rent on one property in 1998.  The increase in  rental
income  was offset by a decrease in investment income  earned  on
the  net  proceeds  prior  to  the  purchase  of  the  additional
property.

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

        The  Partnership owns a 35% interest in a  J.T.  McCord's
restaurant  in  Mesquite, Texas and a 100%  interest  in  a  J.T.
McCord's  restaurant  in Irving, Texas.  In December,  1995,  the
Partnership  took possession of the properties after  the  lessee
was  unable to perform under the terms of the Leases.   In  July,
1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement to sell the  J.T.
McCord's  in  Mesquite, Texas to an unrelated  third  party.   In
September,  1996, the Agreement was terminated by the  purchaser.
The  property was listed for sale or lease until March, 1997 when
it  was  re-leased to Texas Sports City Cafe, Ltd. under a triple
net lease agreement with a primary term of 12 years which may  be
renewed  for  up  to  two  consecutive  five-year  periods.   The
Partnership's  share of the annual base rent is $17,500  for  the
first lease year and $31,500 for the second lease year, with rent
increases  in each subsequent lease year of either three  percent
of  the  prior year's rent or three percent of gross receipts  in
years two and three and six percent of gross receipts thereafter,
to  the extent they exceed the base rent.  In December, 1997, the
Irving   property  was  sold  as  discussed  below.   While   the
properties  were  being re-leased or sold,  the  Partnership  was
responsible for the real estate taxes and other costs required to
maintain the properties.

        The  Partnership owns a 55.0958% interest in a restaurant
in  Waco, Texas, which was previously closed.  In June 1995,  the
Partnership re-leased the restaurant to Tex-Mex Cocina  of  Waco,
L.C.   The Lease Agreement had a primary term of eighteen  months
with  an annual rental payment of $29,752.  The Partnership could
also  receive additional rent if gross receipts from the property
exceeded  certain  specified amounts.   In  December,  1997,  the
lessee  elected not to exercise the renewal option in the  lease.
The restaurant was closed and is listed for sale or lease.  While
the  property is vacant, the Partnership is responsible  for  the
real  estate  taxes  and  other costs required  to  maintain  the
property.

        As  of  December 31, 1997, based on an analysis of market
conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value  of  the
Partnership's  interest  in the Waco property  was  approximately
$385,600.   In the fourth quarter of 1997, a charge to operations
for  real estate impairment of $100,000 was recognized, which  is
the  difference between the book value at December  31,  1997  of
$485,600  and the estimated fair value of $385,600.   The  charge
was recorded against the cost of the land and building.

        The  Partnership owned a 30.8078% interest in  a  Sizzler
restaurant at the King's Island Theme Park near Cincinnati, Ohio.
In  January,  1994,  the Partnership closed  the  restaurant  and
listed  it  for  sale  or  lease.   On  January  23,  1997,   the
Partnership  sold its interest in the property  to  an  unrelated
third  party.   The  Partnership received net  sale  proceeds  of
$149,201,  which  resulted in a net loss of $216,300,  which  was
recognized  as a real estate impairment in the fourth quarter  of
1996.  Prior to the sale, the Partnership was responsible for the
real  estate  taxes  and  other costs required  to  maintain  the
property.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
the  Partnership  paid  Partnership  administration  expenses  to
affiliated parties of $158,220 and $152,813, respectively.  These
administration  expenses  include  costs  associated   with   the
management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting
requirements  and  correspondence to the Limited  Partners.   The
increase  in expenses in 1998, when compared to 1997, is  due  to
expenses  incurred in 1998 related to a proxy statement.   During
the   same   periods,   the  Partnership   incurred   partnership
administration  and property management expenses  from  unrelated
parties  of  $42,113 and $72,243, respectively.   These  expenses
represent  direct payments to third parties for legal and  filing
fees,  direct administrative costs, outside audit and  accounting
costs,  taxes, insurance and other property costs.  The  decrease
in  expenses  in 1998, when compared to 1997, is  mainly  due  to
expenses incurred in 1997 related to the J.T. McCordOs restaurant
in Irving, Texas.

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

        As  of  September 30, 1998, the Partnership's  annualized
cash  distribution  rate was 5%, based on  the  Adjusted  Capital
Contribution.   Distributions of Net Cash  Flow  to  the  General
Partners were subordinated to the Limited Partners as required in
the Partnership Agreement.  As a result, 99% of distributions and
income  were allocated to Limited Partners and 1% to the  General
Partners.

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

        AEI  Fund  Management, Inc. (AEI) performs all management
services  for  the Partnership.  AEI is currently  analyzing  its
computer hardware and software systems to determine what, if any,
resources  need to be dedicated regarding Year 2000 issues.   The
Partnership  does  not  anticipate  any  significant  operational
impact  or  incurring material costs as a result of AEI  becoming
Year 2000 compliant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        During  the  nine months ended September  30,  1998,  the
Partnership's cash balances decreased $618,463 mainly due to  the
distribution of $707,071 of net sale proceeds to the Partners  as
a  special  distribution in April, 1998.  Net  cash  provided  by
operating activities increased from $546,196 in 1997 to  $590,071
in  1998  mainly  as  a result of an increase  in  income  and  a
decrease in expenses in 1998.

        The  major components of the Partnership's cash flow from
investing activities are investments in real estate and  proceeds
from  the  sale  of  real estate.  During the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1997, the Partnership generated cash flow from  the
sale  of  real estate of $149,202.  During the same  period,  the
Partnership  expended  $524,976  to  invest  in  real  properties
(inclusive   of   acquisition  expenses),  as   the   Partnership
reinvested cash generated from property sales.

         In   January,   1996,   the  Cheddar's   restaurant   in
Indianapolis,  Indiana was destroyed by a fire.  The  Partnership
reached an agreement with the tenant and insurance company  which
calls  for  termination of the Lease, demolition of the  building
and  payment to the Partnership of $407,282 for the building  and
equipment  and $49,688 for lost rent.  The property will  not  be
rebuilt  and  the  Partnership listed the  land  for  sale.   The
Partnership recognized net disposition proceeds of $406,892 which
resulted  in  a net gain of $88,207.  At the time of disposition,
the  cost  and related accumulated depreciation was $496,967  and
$178,282,  respectively.  As of December 31, 1997,  based  on  an
analysis of market conditions in the area, it was determined  the
fair  value  of  the  Partnership's  interest  in  the  land  was
approximately $200,000.  In the fourth quarter of 1997, a  charge
to   operations  for  real  estate  impairment  of  $54,000   was
recognized,  which is the difference between the  book  value  at
December  31,  1997 of $253,747 and the estimated fair  value  of
$200,000.

        On  December  22,  1997, the Partnership  sold  the  J.T.
McCord's restaurant in Irving, Texas to an unrelated third party.
The  Partnership  received net sales proceeds of  $741,635  which
resulted  in  a net loss of $109,144.  At the time of  sale,  the
cost  and  related accumulated depreciation of the  property  was
$1,147,333 and $296,554, respectively.


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

       In August, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement
to  purchase  a  Caribou Coffee store in Atlanta,  Georgia.   The
property  was  acquired on August 15, 1997 for  $1,247,571.   The
property is leased to Caribou Coffee Company, Inc. under a  Lease
Agreement  with  a  primary term of 18 years  and  annual  rental
payments of $142,025.

        Pursuant  to  the Partnership Agreement, as amended,  net
sale proceeds may be reinvested in additional properties until  a
date  ten  years after the date on which the offer  and  sale  of
Units  is  terminated.  This period expired on November 6,  1997.
In  February,  1998,  the Managing General  Partner  proposed  an
Amendment  to the Limited Partnership Agreement that would  allow
the  Partnership  to reinvest the majority of the  sale  proceeds
from the J.T. McCord's restaurant in Irving, Texas and subsequent
property  sales in additional properties.  The proposed Amendment
did not receive a majority vote for adoption.

        During  the  first  nine months of  1998  and  1997,  the
Partnership  distributed $720,416 and $71,631  of  the  net  sale
proceeds to the Limited and General Partners which represented  a
return  of  capital  of $51.24 and $5.07 per Limited  Partnership
Unit, respectively.

       The Partnership's primary use of cash flow is distribution
and  redemption  payments to Partners.  The Partnership  declares
its  regular  quarterly  distributions before  the  end  of  each
quarter and pays the distribution in the first week after the end
of  each quarter.  The Partnership attempts to maintain a  stable
distribution  rate from quarter to quarter.  Redemption  payments
are  paid  to  redeeming Partners in the fourth quarter  of  each
year.   The  redemption payments generally are funded  with  cash
that  would  normally  be paid as part of the  regular  quarterly
distributions.    As   a   result,   total   distributions    and
distributions payable have fluctuated from year to  year  due  to
cash  used to fund redemption payments.  Effective April 1, 1997,
the Partnership's distribution rate was reduced from 6.5% to 6.0%
which  resulted  in  regular distributions  to  the  Partners  of
$603,109 for the first nine months of 1997.  In April, 1998,  the
Partnership  distributed net sale proceeds  of  $707,071  to  the
Partners  as  a special distribution, which reduced  the  Limited
PartnersO  Adjusted  Capital Contribution.   Effective  April  1,
1998,  the Partnership made distributions at a 5.0% rate  on  the
reduced  capital balance, which resulted in regular distributions
to the Partners of $502,348 for the first nine months of 1998.

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

       On October 1, 1998, twenty-seven Limited Partners redeemed
a  total  of  313.25 Partnership Units for $161,072 in accordance
with  the Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership acquired  these
Units  using  Net Cash Flow from operations.  In prior  years,  a
total  of 101 Limited Partners redeemed 1,080.6 Partnership Units
for  $829,400.   The  redemptions increase the remaining  Limited
Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership.


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

       The continuing rent payments from the properties should be
adequate   to  fund  continuing  distributions  and  meet   other
Partnership obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

         The   foregoing  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis
contains various "forward looking  statements" within the meaning
of   federal   securities   laws  which  represent   management's
expectations  or  beliefs  concerning  future  events,  including
statements  regarding anticipated application of  cash,  expected
returns  from rental income, growth in revenue, taxation  levels,
the  sufficiency  of  cash to meet operating expenses,  rates  of
distribution,  and  other  matters.   These,  and  other  forward
looking statements made by the Partnership, must be evaluated  in
the   context  of  a  number  of  factors  that  may  affect  the
Partnership's  financial  condition and  results  of  operations,
including the following:

<bullet>  Market  and economic conditions which affect the  value
          of  the  properties the Partnership owns and  the  cash
          from rental income such properties generate;
       
<bullet>  the  federal income tax consequences of rental  income,
          deductions,  gain  on  sales and other  items  and  the
          affects of these consequences for investors;
       
<bullet>  resolution  by  the General Partners of conflicts  with
          which they may be confronted;
       
<bullet>  the   success  of  the  General  Partners  of  locating
          properties with favorable risk return characteristics;
       
<bullet>  the effect of tenant defaults; and
       
<bullet>  the condition of the industries in which the tenants of
          properties owned by the Partnership operate.
