STATEMENT TO INVESTORS

Re: Secured Income L.P. (the "Partnership")

Dear Unit Holder:

            As you may know, a tender offer to purchase up to 45.84% of the
outstanding Units of Secured Income L.P. (the "Partnership") at a price of
$15.75 per Unit has been announced by West Putnam Housing Investors II LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (the "Offer").

            The Partnership has filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a statement on Schedule 14D-9 relating to the Offer. A copy of that
Schedule 14D-9, which you should read carefully, is enclosed with this letter.

            As set forth in the Schedule 14D-9, the Partnership and the General
Partners of the Partnership are making no recommendation as to whether Unit
Holders should tender their Units in response to the Offer.

            In considering whether to tender Units, the Partnership believes
that Unit Holders should carefully consider all of the surrounding circumstances
and available information. Considerations that could affect your decision may
include, but are by no means limited to, the following:

      o     The Partnership understands that tender offers for Units other than
            the Offer have been made in recent years by other parties, and that
            within the past 12 months Units have been sold in private
            transactions, including other tender offers, at prices ranging up to
            $8.60 per Unit.

      o     As a result of a recent refinancing of mortgages on the Westmont
            property owned by Columbia Westmont Associates L.P., one of the
            partnerships in which the Partnership is invested, the Partnership
            expects to make a distribution of approximately $8.35 per Unit from
            the proceeds of such refinancing on or about July 31, 2000 to
            holders of record of Units as of June 30, 2000. The Partnership
            understands that Unit Holders who tender their Units in response to
            the Offer will receive the Offer price of $15.75 per Unit but not
            the $8.35 per Unit distribution. If such distribution is made prior
            to the closing of the Offer, the amount of the distribution will be
            deducted from
<PAGE>

            the $15.75 Offer price. A Unit Holder that does not tender will in
            any event receive a distribution of approximately $8.35 per Unit.

      o     As the Offer is for only for a maximum of 45.84% of the Units and
            could be for fewer Units if necessary to avoid adverse tax
            consequences to the Partnership, Unit Holders who tender in the
            Offer will have less than all of their tendered Units purchased if
            the Offer is over-subscribed.

            The foregoing are only some of the considerations that may be
relevant to Unit Holders. These and certain other matters are mentioned in
greater detail in the enclosed Schedule 14D-9, which you should read carefully
in its entirety.

            You should also bear in mind that no immediate decision by you is
required. The Offer states that tenders of Units will be accepted until 12:00
midnight, New York City time, on July 25, 2000 unless such date is extended. All
Unit Holders are advised to carefully consider the Offer.

                                       Very truly yours,

                                       SECURED INCOME L.P.

                                           General Partner
