Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

       On  June  16, 1999, the Partnership, AEI Real  Estate
Fund  XVI  Limited Partnership, sold its 40% interest  in  a
Fuddruckers  restaurant in St. Louis, Missouri to  Elizabeth
Cockrum,  who  is not affiliated with the Partnership.   The
remaining  interest  was sold by AEI  Real  Estate  Fund  XV
Limited  Partnership, an affiliate of the Partnership.   The
total cash sales price was $1,900,000.

      The Partnership received net proceeds of approximately
$760,000 for its interest in the property, which resulted in
a net gain of approximately $175,000.

Item 7.   Financial Statements and Exhibits.

         (a) A  limited number of proforma adjustments
             are  required to illustrate the effects of  the
             transaction  on  the balance sheet  and  income
             statement.      The     following     narrative
             description  is  furnished  in  lieu   of   the
             proforma statements:

             Assuming  the Partnership had sold the property
             on   January   1,   1998,   the   Partnership's
             Investments  in  Real Estate  would  have  been
             reduced  by  $601,198 and  its  Current  Assets
             (cash)  would  have increased by  $760,000  and
             Partner's  Capital  would  have  increased   by
             $158,802.

             The  Total  Income  for the  Partnership  would
             have decreased from $1,057,876 to $965,712  for
             the  year  ended  December 31,  1998  and  from
             $261,922  to  $238,881 for three  months  ended
             March  31,  1999  if  the Partnership  had  not
             owned the property during the periods.

             Depreciation  Expense would have  decreased  by
             $11,317  and $2,511 for the year ended December
             31,  1998 and the three months ended March  31,
             1999, respectively.

             Partnership    Administration   and    Property
             Management  Expense  would  have  decreased  by
             $1,741  and  $134 for the year  ended  December
             31,  1998 and the three months ended March  31,
             1999, respectively.

             The  net  effect of these proforma  adjustments
             would  have caused Net Income to decrease  from
             $351,608  to  $272,502  and  from  $147,068  to
             $126,672,  which  would have  resulted  in  Net
             Income   of   $19.49  and  $9.22  per   Limited
             Partnership  Unit  outstanding  for  the   year
             ended  December 31, 1998 and the  three  months
             ended March 31, 1999, respectively.

for an order directing distribution of the Earnest Money  or

     4.   CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

      Seller  acknowledges that Buyer's intended use ("Use")
of  the  Property  is  as a store for  the  retail  sale  of
furniture and antiques.  The construction of improvements to
provide  for the intended Use shall be referred to  in  this
Agreement  as  the  "Project".  This Section  4  sets  forth
conditions precedent ("Conditions") to Buyer's obligation to
Close  this transaction.  For each Condition, if Buyer  does
not  expressly  notify  Seller in writing  within  the  time
period  stated for the Condition that Buyer is  dissatisfied
with   the   matters   covered  by  the   Condition   (which
satisfaction  and  the  terms imposed  thereon  or  relative
thereto  shall  be at the reasonable discretion  of  Buyer),
then   the  Buyer  shall  be  deemed  to  have  waived  said
condition(s).  If Buyer does so timely notify Seller of  her
dissatisfaction,  this Agreement shall  terminate,  and  the
Earnest Money (including all interest accrued thereon) shall
be  refunded to Buyer, and this Agreement shall be deemed of
no  further force or effect.  If Buyer determines  that  any
Condition  will  not  be satisfied within  the  time  period
specified,  Buyer  need  not  wait  until  the  time  period
elapses,  but  may  so  notify  Seller  and  terminate   the
Agreement at the time of Buyer's determination.

     CONDITION 1    TITLE INSURANCE.  Not later than  twenty
     (20) days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall, at its
     expense,  obtain  a current title insurance  commitment
     ("Title   Commitment")  for  the  Property  issued   by
     Specialized  Title  Services  (the  "Title   Company").
     Within  fifteen (15) days after Buyer's receipt of  the
     last  of  the following items (a) the Title Commitment,
     (b)   the   Survey,   and   (c)   legible   copies   of
     plats,documents, instruments or agreements appearing as
     exceptions in the Title Commitment, referenced  on  the

     Buyer shall notify Seller of any exceptions or terms in
     the  Title Commitment which are not acceptable to Buyer
     or  any  objections to matters appearing in or  omitted
     from  the  Survey.  Title exceptions or Survey  matters
     which Buyer does not designate as unacceptable shall be
     deemed   "Permitted  Exceptions".   Within   ten   (10)
     business  days  after  receipt  of  Buyer's   list   of
     Permitted  Exceptions (and unacceptable exceptions  and
     Survey  matters) which Seller does not intend to  cure,
     remove  or  cause the Title Company to delete,  failing
     which  Seller  shall be deemed to have elected  to  not
     cure, remove or cause the Title Company to delete  such
     unacceptable    exceptions    and    Survey    matters.
     Thereafter, if Seller and Buyer cannot agree on a final
     list  of  Permitted Exceptions within ten (10) business
     days  after Buyer receives SellerOs list or by the  end
     of  the  10  day  period described in  the  immediately
     preceding  sentence, whichever occurs first, then  this
     Agreement shall be deemed terminated, the Earnest Money
     shall  be promptly returned to Buyer and neither  party
     shall  have any further rights or obligations hereunder
     except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

          As a condition to Closing, the Title Company shall
     be  prepared  to issue to Buyer at Closing  at  Buyer's
     expense  a  title insurance policy ("Title Policy")  in
     its  then current standard ALTA Form in an amount equal
     to  the  Purchase Price, and containing  no  exceptions
     other than the Permitted Exceptions.

     CONDITION  2    SURVEY.  Within sixty (60)  days  after
     the  Effective Date, Buyer shall at its expense,  cause
     to  be prepared a topographic and boundary line survey,
     surveyorOs    report    and   surveyorOs    certificate
     (collectively the "Survey").  The Survey shall  (I)  be
     prepared by a registered land surveyor licensed in  the
     state  in  which  the  Property  is  located  that   is

     recorded  easements listed on the Title Commitment  and
     all  unrecorded  easements; (iii) be certified  to  the
     Title Company, Buyer, and Buyer's counsel in accordance
     with  ALTA/ACSM  standards; and (iv) be sufficient  for
     removal  of  the  Title Policy survey exceptions.   The
     Survey  may, at Buyer's option and expense, be  updated
     prior to Closing, which updated Survey shall contain no
     information that would result in any exceptions to  the
     Title  Policy  other  than  the  Permitted  Exceptions.
     Buyer may waive its right to a Survey.

     conditioned  upon:  (I)  the  execution  of   a   lease
     termination  agreement by Seller, Buyer and  Tenant  in
     form  and  substance satisfactory to Seller, Buyer  and

          Buyer   acknowledges  that  TenantOs  failure   or
          refusal  to execute a lease termination  agreement
          shall  be  a  failure  of  a  condition  precedent
          entitling Buyer to the return of its Earnest Money
          hereunder,  and in no event shall such failure  or
          refusal be deemed a Seller default hereunder.
