Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets


On January 31, 2000, Asset Investors  Corporation (the "Company") entered into a
series of  agreements  dated  effective as of January 1, 2000 and acquired  four
manufactured  home communities and undeveloped  homesites at three  manufactured
home communities from Community Acquisition and Development Corporation ("CADC")
and affiliates of CADC  (collectively,  the  "Seller").  Joseph W. Gaynor is the
President  of CADC and owns 31% of the  Seller.  Mr.  Gaynor was  appointed  the
Company's  Vice  President of  Development  in January 2000.  These  communities
consist  of  535  developed  homesites  and  2,183  undeveloped  homesites.  The
developed homesites are 95% occupied.


The  consideration  for  the  communities  was  determined  through  arms-length
negotiations  with the  Seller.  Total  consideration  for the  communities  was
$36,816,000 and was paid as follows:

o   Cancellation  of  $24,851,000  of  participating  mortgages  and other loans
    previously made by the Company to Seller;
o   Assumption of $10,704,000 of third-party debt;
o   Issuance of 44,572 units of limited  partnership  interests  ("OP Units") in
    the Company's subsidiary, Asset Investors Operating Partnership, L.P., at an
    assigned value of $496,000; and
o   $765,000  cash,  the source of which is the  Company's  cash on hand and its
    line of credit with U.S. Bank National Association.

The Company  generally intends to continue to utilize the assets acquired in the
transaction as rental properties, which is the same manner as they were employed
prior to the  acquisition.  Due to the  Company's  intent to acquire  additional
manufactured  home  communities,  the Company's future dividends and the taxable
portion thereof cannot be estimated at this time.

Some of the statements in this report,  as well as oral  statements  made by the
Company's  officials to analysts and stockholders in the course of presentations
about the Company and conference calls following  quarterly  earnings  releases,
constitute  "forward-looking  statements"  within  the  meaning  of the  Private
Securities   Litigation   Reform  Act  of  1995.  Such  statements  may  include
projections  of  the  Company's  adjusted  funds  from  operations,  cash  flow,
dividends   and   anticipated   returns  on  real   estate   investments.   Such
forward-looking  statements  involve known and unknown risks,  uncertainties and
other factors that may cause the actual results,  performance or achievements of
the Company to be materially  different from any future results,  performance or
achievements  expressed  or  implied  by the  forward-looking  statements.  Such
factors  include:  general  economic  and  business  conditions;  interest  rate
changes;  financing and refinancing  risks; risks inherent in owning real estate
or  debt  secured  by  real  estate;   future  development  rate  of  homesites;
competition;  the  availability  of real estate  assets at prices which meet the
Company's  investment  criteria;  and the  Company's  ability to reduce  expense
levels,  implement rent increases, use leverage and other risks set forth in the
Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

                  Each Contributor  represents and warrants individually but not
jointly to AIOP that as of the date hereof:

                  II.1 Authority.  The Contributor has the right,  power,  legal
capacity  and  authority  to enter into and perform its  obligations  under this
Agreement.  This  Agreement has been duly and validly  executed and delivered by
the  Contributor  and,  assuming the due  authorization,  execution and delivery
hereof by AIOP,  constitutes a valid and binding  obligation of the Contributor,
enforceable   against  it  in  accordance   with  its  terms,   except  as  such
enforceability  may  be  subject  to  the  effects  of  bankruptcy,  insolvency,
reorganization,  moratorium  and other similar laws relating to or affecting the
rights of creditors and of general principles of equity.

                  II.2 No Conflict;  Consents and  Approvals.  The execution and
delivery by the  Contributor of this Agreement do not, and the  consummation  of
the transactions  contemplated  hereby and compliance with the terms hereof will
not,  (i)  conflict  with,  or result  in any  violation  of such  Contributor's
constituent  documents,  (ii) violate or conflict  with or result in a breach or
termination of or default under, any material  agreement,  instrument,  license,
judgment,  order, write,  injunction,  decree, statute, law, ordinance,  rule or
regulation applicable to the Contributor or any of the property or assets of the
Contributor or (iii) result in a default (or an event which with notice or lapse
of time or both would  become a default) or give to any third party any right of
termination,  cancellation,  amendment or  acceleration  under, or result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any material asset of the Contributor such
as  would   reasonably  be  expected  to  materially   impair  the  validity  or
enforceability of this Agreement or the ability of the Contributor to perform in
any material respect, its obligations under this Agreement. No consent, approval
or  authorization  of, or declaration,  filing or  registration  with any court,
administrative   agency  or  commission  or  other  governmental  or  regulatory
authority or any other person or entity is required to be made or obtained by or
with respect to the Contributor in connection  with the execution,  delivery and


                                       2
<PAGE>

performance  of  this  Agreement  or  the   consummation  of  the   transactions
contemplated hereby.

                  II.3 Ownership.  Contributor is the owner, beneficially and of
record,  of all of the Interests set forth opposite such  Contributor's  name on
the  signature  pages  hereto  free  and  clear  of all  Liens.  As used in this
Agreement, "Lien" means any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, charge, adverse
claim or restriction of any kind affecting  title or resulting in an encumbrance
against  the  Interests  or a  security  interest  of any  kind  (including  any
conditional  sale or other title  retention  agreement,  any lease in the nature
thereof,  any third party option or other agreement to sell and any filing of or
agreement to give, any financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code (or
equivalent statute) of any jurisdiction).

                  II.4  Investment Representations.  Contributor:

                           (a) is an  "Accredited  Investor,"  as  such  term is
defined in  Regulation  D under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended  (the

in connection with its acquisition of OP Units;

                           (c)  acknowledges  that  the OP  Units  that  will be
acquired  pursuant to this  Agreement are being  acquired in a  transaction  not
involving any public  offering within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the
OP Units,  and any Common Stock,  par value $0.01, of AIC (the "AIC Stock") that
may be issued in exchange for OP Units tendered for  redemption,  have not been,
and may never be, registered under the Securities Act;

                           (d) agrees not to offer, sell,  transfer or otherwise
dispose  of the OP Units,  or any AIC  Stock  issued  in  exchange  for OP Units
tendered for redemption, in the absence of registration under the Securities Act
unless it delivers to AIOP and AIC an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory
to AIOP and AIC,  in form and  substance  satisfactory  to AIOP and AIC,  to the
effect that the proposed  sale,  transfer or other  disposition  may be effected
without  registration  under  the  Securities  Act and  under  applicable  state
securities and blue sky laws;

                           (e) acknowledges that the OP Units, and any AIC Stock
issued in exchange for OP Units tendered for redemption,  will be in the form of
physical  certificates  and that,  unless  and until  such OP Units or AIC Stock
shall have been registered under the Securities Act, the certificates  will bear
a legend to the following effect:

THE SECURITIES  EVIDENCED  HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED  UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE  "SECURITIES  ACT"),  OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY


                                       3
<PAGE>

STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,  TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE  DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE
OF SUCH REGISTRATION,  UNLESS THE TRANSFEROR  DELIVERS TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION
OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, IN FORM AND
SUBSTANCE  SATISFACTORY  TO THE COMPANY,  TO THE EFFECT THAT THE PROPOSED  SALE,
TRANSFER OR OTHER  DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED  WITHOUT  REGISTRATION  UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR "BLUE SKY" LAWS.

                           (f) has such  knowledge  and  experience in financial
and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
acquisition  of the OP Units and is able to bear the economic  risk of a loss of
an  investment  in the OP Units and is not acquiring any OP Units with a view to
the  distribution  thereof or any present  intention  of offering or selling any
thereof in a transaction that would violate the Securities Act or the securities
laws of any state or any other applicable jurisdiction; and

                           (g) has been  advised by its own counsel with respect
to this Agreement and the tax implications of the contributions and transactions
contemplated hereby.


                                   ARTICLE III

                     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF AIOP

                  AIOP  represents and warrants to the  Contributors  that as of
the date hereof:

                  III.1 Authority.  It has the right,  power, legal capacity and
authority to enter into and perform its obligations  under this  Agreement.  The
execution,  delivery and performance of this Agreement by AIOP, and the issuance
by AIOP of the OP Units have been duly  authorized by AIOP and no further action
is  necessary  on the part of AIOP.  This  Agreement  has been duly and  validly
executed and  delivered by AIOP and,  assuming the due execution and delivery by
the  Contributors,   constitutes  a  valid  and  binding   obligation  of  AIOP,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

                  III.2 No Conflict;  Consents and Approvals.  The execution and
delivery  by  AIOP of this  Agreement  does  not,  and the  consummation  of the
transactions  contemplated hereby and compliance with the terms hereof will not,
(i) conflict  with,  or result in any  violation of any provision of the limited
partnership  agreement  or  certificate  of limited  partnership  of AIOP,  (ii)
violate  or  conflict  with or result in a breach or  termination  of or default
under, any material  agreement,  instrument,  license,  judgment,  order,  writ,
injunction,  decree,  statute, law, ordinance,  rule or regulation applicable to
AIOP or any of the  property or assets of AIOP or (iii)  result in a default (or


                                       4
<PAGE>

an event which with  notice or lapse of time or both would  become a default) or
give to any third party any right of  termination,  cancellation,  amendment  or
acceleration  under,  or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any
material asset of AIOP such as would reasonably be expected to materially impair
the  validity  or  enforceability  of this  Agreement  or the ability of AIOP to
perform in any  material  respect,  its  obligations  under this  Agreement.  No
consent,  approval or authorization  of, or declaration,  filing or registration
with any court,  administrative  agency or commission or other  governmental  or
regulatory  authority  or any other  person or entity is  required to be made or
obtained by or with respect to AIOP in connection  with the execution,  delivery
and  performance  of this  Agreement  or the  consummation  of the  transactions
contemplated hereby.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                    COVENANTS

                  IV.1  Conduct of  Business.  From the date hereof  through the
Closing, except as expressly permitted or contemplated by this Agreement, unless
AIOP  shall  otherwise  agree in  writing  prior  to the  taking  of any  action
prohibited by the terms of this Section,  the  Contributors  shall cause each of
the LLCs to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary and usual course
of business and consistent with past practice.  Without  limiting the generality

                  IV.2 Special Election.  The parties agree that with respect to
the contributed  real estate assets owned directly or indirectly by Contributors
through limited  liability  companies or joint ventures,  at the election of the
Contributors,  AIOP  will  either  (1) use  the  remedial  method  as set out in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d) for partnership  allocation purposes,  or
(2)  use  the  traditional  method  as set out in  Treasury  Regulation  Section
1.704-3(b) for  partnership  allocation  purposes and allow the  Contributors to
guarantee  AIOP debt and/or elect to undertake an obligation to restore  deficit
capital accounts in an amount that is sufficient to allocate an amount of either
recourse debt or partner  nonrecourse  debt ( as defined in Treasury  Regulation
Section  1.704-2(b)(4))  that equals or exceeds such  partners tax basis deficit
capital accounts.

                  If the  contributors  elect  to use  the  remedial  method  as
described above,  the parties agree that AIOP will maintain  nonrecourse debt on
the contributed properties in an amount not less than the current amount of that
certain loan from GE Financial Assurance  Corporation dated December 21, 1998 in
the original  amount of $2,654,000  secured by the Sunlake  Mobile Home Park, as
adjusted in the future by scheduled principal payments called for in such loan.

                  To the extent that any of the contributed  real estate is sold
or  otherwise  disposed  of by  AIOP  in a  taxable  transaction  other  than  a
non-taxable  like-kind  exchange of property pursuant to IRC Section 1031 within
five  years of the date of this  agreement,  the  Contributors'  shall  have the
right,   but  not  the  obligation,   for  their  OP  Units  to  have  the  same
characteristics  as other OP Units with  respect  to all items of income,  gain,
loss, deduction and distributions other than the following: the Contributors' OP
Units will receive a special  allocation of depreciation and other deductions in
the year of such sale and each year thereafter as necessary until the cumulative
amount of such  depreciation and other  deductions  equals the amount of gain on
the taxable sale of contributed property allocated to the Contributors  pursuant
to IRC Section 704 (c). In no event will such  special  allocation  be made in a
year in which,  after  considering  such  special  allocation,  Asset  Investors
Corporation fails to make distributions (as defined pursuant to IRC Sections 561
and 857  (b)(2)(B))  in an amount at least equal to its taxable  income for such
year (as  defined  pursuant to IRC Section  857  (b)(2)).  If the above  special
allocation is made to the  Contributors'  OP Units,  then the  Contributors'  OP
Units  will  also  receive a  special  gain  allocation  provision  whereby  the
Contributors  will receive a priority  allocation  of gain under IRC Section 704
(b) and the Treasury Regulations  thereunder from a sale of substantially all of
AIOP's  assets after five years in an amount equal to the special  allocation of
depreciation  and  other  deductions  that  they  previously   received.   If  a
Contributor  redeems  its OP  Units  prior  to the  date on  which  it has  been
specially  allocated gains equal to the special  allocation of depreciation  and
other  deductions,  the  redemption  consideration  shall  be  adjusted  for the
difference  between the fair market value per unit of the Contributor's OP Units
and the fair market value per unit of OP Units not held by the Contributors.

                  9.1  Condemnation.  If,  prior  to  the  Closing,  all  or any

consummated), Seller shall immediately notify Buyer of such fact. In such event,
Buyer shall have the option to terminate  this  Agreement upon written notice to
Seller given not later than three (3) days after Buyer's  receipt of such notice
from Seller.  Buyer shall have no right to terminate  this Agreement as a result
of any taking of any portion of the Property that is not a Material Portion.  If
Buyer does not elect or has no right to terminate this  Agreement,  Seller shall
assign and turn over to Buyer,  and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep,
all  awards  for the taking by  condemnation  and Buyer  shall be deemed to have
accepted the Property  subject to the taking  without  reduction in the Purchase

shall immediately notify Buyer of such fact. In such event, Buyer shall have the
option to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller given not later
than three (3) days after Buyer's receipt of such notice from Seller.  Upon such
termination,  neither  party  shall  have  any  further  rights  or  obligations
hereunder,  other than pursuant to any provision hereof which expressly survives
the termination of this  Agreement.  Buyer shall have no right to terminate this
Agreement  as a result  of any  damage  or  destruction  of any  portion  of the
Property that does not constitute  Material  Damage.  If Buyer does not elect or
has no right to terminate this Agreement, Seller shall assign and turn over, and
Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep, all insurance proceeds payable with
respect to such damage or  destruction  (which  shall then be repaired or not at
Buyer's  option  and cost) and Buyer  shall  receive,  as a credit  against  the
Purchase  Price,  an amount equal to the  deductible  amount with respect to the
insurance  and the parties  shall  proceed to the Closing  pursuant to the terms
hereof without  modification of the terms of this  Agreement.  If Buyer does not
elect or has no right to terminate  this  Agreement  by reason of any  casualty,
Buyer shall have the right to  participate  in any  adjustment  of any insurance
claim.  As used  herein,  the  term  "Material  Damage"  shall  mean  damage  or

by Seller,  the  consummation  of the  transactions  herein  contemplated  to be
performed by Seller,  and compliance  with the terms of this Agreement by Seller
will not  conflict  with,  or, with or without  notice or the passage of time or
both,  result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions  of, or constitute a
default under, any indenture,  deed of trust, mortgage, loan agreement, or other
document,  instrument or agreement,  oral or written, to which Seller is a party

three (3) days after  Buyer's  receipt of such notice from  Seller.  Buyer shall
have no right to  terminate  this  Agreement  as a result  of any  taking of any
portion of the Property that is not a Material Portion.  If Buyer does not elect

shall immediately notify Buyer of such fact. In such event, Buyer shall have the
option to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller given not later

respect to such damage or  destruction  (which  shall then be repaired or not at
Buyer's  option  and cost) and Buyer  shall  receive,  as a credit  against  the
Purchase  Price,  an amount equal to the  deductible  amount with respect to the
insurance  and the parties  shall  proceed to the Closing  pursuant to the terms
hereof without  modification of the terms of this  Agreement.  If Buyer does not

               ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

         Except as set forth in the Disclosure  Schedule  prepared by Seller and
delivered  to  Buyer  simultaneously  with the  execution  hereof  (the  "Seller
Disclosure Schedule"), Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

      3.1.  Authorization.  Seller has the full legal right, power and authority
to enter into and  perform  the  transactions  contemplated  by this  Agreement,
without need for any consent, approval,  authorization,  license or order of, or
notice  to,  any  court,  Governmental  Entity,  instrumentality  or  regulatory
authority (governmental  agencies,  instrumentalities and regulatory authorities
being hereinafter referred to as "Governmental  Entities"),  or any other person
or entity.  The  execution,  delivery and  performance of this Agreement and the
documents  contemplated  hereby by Seller and the  consummation by Seller of the
transactions  contemplated  hereby and thereby have been duly  authorized by all
necessary corporate action. This Agreement and the documents contemplated hereby
evidence the legal,  valid and binding  obligations  of Seller,  enforceable  in
accordance  with their  respective  terms  except  (i) as limited by  applicable
bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization,  moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and
other similar laws of general  application  affecting  enforcement of creditor=s
rights  generally  and (ii)  for the  availability  of the  remedy  of  specific
performance  or injunctive or other forms of equitable  relief may be subject to
equitable  defenses and would be subject to the  discretion  of the court before
which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

      3.2. Title to Properties;  Absence of Liens and  Encumbrances.  Seller has
the right to sell,  transfer,  and assign  all of the Assets to Buyer,  and owns
such assets, free and clear of all liens, charges,  security interests and other
encumbrances  whatsoever  except for the Assumed  Liabilities.  At the  Closing,
Seller=s  execution of the Bill of Sale will transfer the Assets to Buyer,  free

                                       3

and clear of all  liens,  charges,  security  interests  and other  encumbrances
whatsoever  except  for the  Assumed  Liabilities.  Each of the Assets is in the
possession,  custody or control of the Seller,  and none of the Assets is in the
possession, custody or control of any person or entity other than Seller.

      3.3. Assumed  Liabilities.  Seller has delivered to Buyer true and correct
copies of all instruments and other documents which  constitute or evidence,  in
whole  or in  part,  any  of  the  Assumed  Liabilities.  None  of  the  Assumed
Liabilities  and such  instruments  or documents has been modified or amended in
writing,  and all of the Assumed  Liabilities and such instruments and documents
are in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.  Neither
Seller  nor any other  party to any of the  Assumed  Liabilities  is in  default
thereunder,  or is  otherwise  in breach or has failed to comply with any of its
obligations thereunder.  To Seller=s knowledge,  there is no claim that any such
default, breach or failure to comply currently pending and there are no facts or
conditions known to Seller which, with or without the passage of time, notice or
both, would reasonably be expected to result in a material default under, breach
of, or failure to comply  with any  material  term or  provision  of the Assumed
Liabilities.

               ARTICLE 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER

         Except as set forth in the  Disclosure  Schedule  prepared by Buyer and
delivered  to  Seller  simultaneously  with the  execution  hereof  (the  ABuyer
Disclosure Schedule@), Buyer represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

         4.1. Authorization. Buyer has the full legal right, power and authority
to enter into and  perform  the  transactions  contemplated  by this  Agreement,
without need for any consent, approval,  authorization,  license or order of, or
notice  to,  any  court,  Governmental  Entity or other  person or  entity.  The
execution,  delivery  and  performance  of  this  Agreement  and  the  documents
contemplated  hereby by Buyer and the  consummation by Buyer of the transactions
contemplated  hereby and  thereby  have been duly  authorized  by all  necessary
corporate action of Buyer. This Agreement evidences the legal, valid and binding
obligations of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms.

         4.2. No Default or Violation.  The execution,  delivery and performance
of this  Agreement by Buyer and the  consummation  by Buyer of the  transactions
contemplated hereby (a) do not, and will not, conflict with any provision of the
Certificate of  Incorporation or By-Laws of Buyer, and (b) do not, and will not,


                                       4
<PAGE>

violate any law, regulation,  order, judgment or decree to which Buyer or any of
its properties is subject.

                            ARTICLE 5. MISCELLANEOUS

         5.1.  Brokerage.  Seller  represents to Buyer,  and Buyer represents to
Seller,  that  there  has been no  intermediary  or broker  in  negotiations  or
discussions  incident  to  the  execution  of  this  Agreement  or  any  of  the
transactions  contemplated hereby and that no intermediary or broker is or shall
be entitled to any commission or other  compensation with respect to any of such
transactions.

         5.2 Condition of Assets.  Buyer  acknowledges that it is purchasing the
Assets  "as is and with all  faults."  The  Seller  makes no  representation  or
warranty  with respect to the condition of the Assets or their  suitability  for
any particular purpose.

         5.3. Waivers and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified or
supplemented  only by a written  instrument  executed by the parties hereto.  No
waiver of any provision of this Agreement,  or consent to any departure from the
terms hereof,  shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed
by the party waiving or consenting  thereto. No failure on the part of any party
to exercise,  and no delay in exercising,  any right or remedy  hereunder  shall
operate as a waiver  thereof,  nor shall any single or partial  exercise  of any
such  right or remedy by such  party  preclude  any  other or  further  exercise
thereof or the  exercise of any other  right or remedy.  The waiver by any party
hereto of a breach of any  provision  of this  Agreement  shall not operate as a
waiver  of  any  subsequent  breach.  All  rights  and  remedies  hereunder  are
cumulative  and are in addition  to and not  exclusive  of any other  rights and
remedies provided by law.

         5.4. Performance. Seller acknowledges that money damages alone will not
adequately  compensate Buyer for breach of its obligations  under this Agreement
and,  therefore,  agrees that in the event of the breach or threatened breach of
any such  obligation,  in addition to all other remedies  available to Buyer, at
law,  in equity or  otherwise,  Buyer shall be  entitled  to  injunctive  relief
compelling specific  performance of, or other compliance with, the terms of this
Agreement.

         5.5.  Notices.  All  notices,  requests,  demands,  waivers  and  other
communications  required or permitted to be given under this Agreement  shall be
