Item 1. Business

         USAA Income Properties IV Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership formed February 5, 1987,
under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Delaware
to invest in a diversified portfolio of income-producing real
properties such as shopping centers, office buildings, apartments,
industrial buildings and other similar income-producing real
property.  The Partnership has three principal business objectives: 
(i) to preserve and protect the Partnership's capital (ii) to
obtain long-term appreciation in the value of its properties, and
(iii) to provide partially "tax-sheltered" distributions of cash
from operations.  Defined terms used herein shall have the meanings
as set forth under the caption "Glossary" contained at pages 87-89
of the Prospectus, dated June 8, 1987, filed pursuant to Rule
424(b), attached as Exhibit 99.a and incorporated herein by
reference.

         The Partnership Agreement authorized the issuance of up to
160,000 Limited Partnership Interests at a price of $500 each.  The
Partnership sold $30,247,500 in Limited Partnership Interests
(60,495 Interests at $500 per Interest) from the commencement of
the offering of Interests on or about July 1, 1987, through the
completion of the offering on February 29, 1988.  Limited Partners
are not required to make any additional capital contributions.  

         Proceeds available to the Partnership for investment in
properties were used to acquire the following properties in fiscal
year 1987:  Linear Technology Corporate Headquarters, Eastman Kodak
Building, and 1881 Pine Street (Century Electric Office Building). 
During 1988, the Partnership acquired a 55.8% joint venture
interest in USAA Chelmsford Associates Joint Venture which owns the
Apollo Computer Research and Development Headquarters Building. 
See "Item 2 Properties".  

         Competitive conditions for the Partnership's properties in
1996 were as follows:

         The Linear Technology Building, located in Milpitas, Santa
Clara County, California, is located three miles north of the San
Jose Municipal Airport and eight miles from Stanford University. 
At December 31, 1996, the building was 100% leased under a triple
net lease by Linear Technology Corporation as its corporate
headquarters under a lease which expires in 2000.  As of December
31, 1996, none of the $168,500 tenant improvement allowance from
the 1995 renewal had been expended.  Linear Technology provided
approximately $379,000 of annual rental income to the Partnership
in 1996, $459,000 during 1995 and $561,000 during 1994, which
represented approximately 10% of total Partnership rental income
for 1996 and 11% for 1995 and 1994.

<PAGE>
         The Linear Technology Building is located in the Milpitas
submarket of the Silicon Valley.  This submarket had approximately
255,000 square feet of available research and development ("R & D")
space as of December 31, 1996, with a vacancy rate of approximately
2.5% compared to a 2.7% vacancy rate as of December 31, 1995.

         The Eastman Kodak Building is located in Sorrento Valley,
San Diego, California near the intersection of Interstates 5 and
805.  At December 31, 1996, the building was 100% occupied, with
Kodak occupying 34,600 square feet and Invitrogen Corporation
occupying the remaining 23,147 square feet.  Kodak's lease expires
in February 1998.  The lease with Invitrogen was scheduled to
expire in April 1996; however, the lease was extended through
December 1996.  Invitrogen paid an extension fee of $20,000. 
Invitrogen remained in the building until February 1997, paying
holdover rent (200% of December 1996 rent) for January and February
1997.  Discussions have commenced with Eastman Kodak regarding the
possibility of early lease renewal and leasing the entire building.

         The Kodak Building is located in the Sorrento Valley R & D
submarket.  The vacancy rate in the submarket was approximately 3%
as of the end of 1996 compared to approximately 9.5% as of the end
of 1995.  Total inventory in the Sorrento Valley R & D submarket
was approximately 1.3 million square feet with approximately 37,000
square feet available at the end of 1996.

         The 1881 Pine Street Office Building is located in St.
Louis, Missouri near Interstate 44, the Gateway Arch, and Union
Station.  During 1996 two leases were signed at this property to
end the year with 82% of the 106,340 square foot property leased. 
During the third quarter, a five-year lease was signed with
Sherwood Medical Company.  Sherwood occupied the building on August
24, 1996 and the lease will expire August 2001.  The lease provides
for an annual rental rate of $12.75 per square foot for 22,376
square feet of space and provides for annual parking revenue of
$21,600.  In addition to rent, Sherwood will pay their pro rata
share of operating expenses in excess of their base year of 1996. 
An allowance for tenant improvements of approximately $259,600 was
provided which was paid out of the working capital reserve of the
Partnership.  

         During the fourth quarter, a five-year lease was signed with
Busch Creative Services Corporation for 64,805 square feet at 1881
Pine Street.  This lease commenced February 1, 1997 and will expire
on January 31, 2002.  The lease provides for an annual rental rate
of approximately $12.25 per square foot and annual parking revenue
of $71,400.  In addition, this tenant will pay their pro rata share
of operating expenses in excess of their base year of 1997.  An
allowance for tenant improvements of $1,036,880 was provided to be
paid out of the working capital reserve of the Partnership. 

<PAGE>
         The 1881 Pine Street property is located in the Central
Business District ("CBD") of the St. Louis office market. The
vacancy rate in the CBD at the end of 1996 was approximately 20% as
compared to approximately 18% at the end of 1995.  Total inventory
in the CBD was approximately 12.9 million square feet with
approximately 2.5 million square feet available.

         Total inventory in the overall St. Louis office market was
approximately 35.3 million square feet at the end of 1996 with
approximately 4.8 million square feet available for lease.  The
vacancy rate in this market was approximately 13% at December 31,
1996 as compared to approximately 12% at December 31, 1995.

         USAA Chelmsford Associates Joint Venture, the joint venture
in which the Partnership holds a 55.8% interest, owns and operates
the Apollo Computer Research and Development Headquarters Building
which is located in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. 
The property is an office/R & D building and is 100% leased under
a triple net lease to Hewlett-Packard Company, successor in
interest to Apollo Computer, Inc.  During 1995, negotiations with
Hewlett-Packard Company resulted in the renewal of their lease for
an additional 41 months.  The new monthly rental rate of
approximately $.57 per square foot for the 291,424 square foot
building began January 1997.  This rate is lower than the rate paid
in 1996 of approximately $.76 per square foot and reflects the
current market conditions in the area surrounding the property. An
allowance for tenant improvements was provided at a total of
approximately $565,000 to be paid from the working capital reserve. 
During 1996, Hewlett-Packard used approximately $260,000 of the
allowance for tenant improvements.  Approximately $197,000 remains
of the tenant improvement allowance as of December 31, 1996.  This
tenant provided approximately $2,763,000 of annual rental income to
the Partnership in 1996, $2,759,000 in 1995 and $2,761,000 in 1994
which represented approximately 72% of total Partnership rental
income for 1996, 65% for 1995 and 54% for 1994.

         The Apollo Computer Building is located within the 495 West
submarket of the Boston market.  This building is configured in a
way that allows it to compete as office or R & D.  Total inventory
in the submarket was approximately 3.6 million square feet of
office space with an occupancy rate of approximately 93% as of
December 31, 1996 compared to an occupancy rate of approximately
87% as of the end of 1995.  Total inventory of R & D space was
approximately 23.8 million square feet as of the end of 1996 with
an occupancy of approximately 89% compared to an occupancy rate of
approximately 91% as of the end of 1995.

         See "Item 2 Properties" for further information pertaining
to the status of the Partnership's properties.

            The Partnership has no employees; it has, however, entered
into an Advisory Agreement with USAA Real Estate Company (the
"Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of USAA Capital Corporation,
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Services Automobile
Association ("USAA").  The Adviser is responsible for managing the
day-to-day operations of the Partnership.

         The General Partner (the "General Partner") of the
Partnership is USAA Properties IV, Inc., a Texas corporation and a
subsidiary of the Adviser.  The General Partner has the general
responsibility for management of the Partnership's business and
oversees the activities of the Adviser.

Item 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 1996, the Partnership had cash of $226,365 and
temporary investments of $977,512.  Included in these amounts
were the working capital reserve and funds held for payment of
current obligations of the Partnership.  Accounts receivable
consisted of amounts due from tenants.  Deferred charges and
other assets consisted primarily of deferred rent resulting from
recognition of income as required by generally accepted
accounting principles and lease commissions. Accounts payable
consisted of amounts due to affiliates for management fees and
reimbursable expenses and amounts due to third parties for
expenses incurred for operations.  Accrued expenses and other
liabilities consisted of security deposits and prepaid rent.
  
During the third quarter of 1996, a five-year lease was signed
with Sherwood Medical Company at 1881 Pine Street in St. Louis,
Missouri.  Sherwood occupied the building on August 24, 1996 and
the lease will expire August 2001.  The lease provides for an
annual rental rate of $12.75 per square foot for 22,376 square
feet of space and annual parking revenue of $21,600.  In addition
to rent, Sherwood will pay their pro rata share of operating
expenses in excess of their base year of 1996.  An allowance for
tenant improvements in the approximate amount of $259,600 was
provided which was paid out of the working capital reserve of the
Partnership.  In addition, Sherwood paid a security deposit of
$23,774.  

During the fourth quarter of 1996, a five-year lease was signed
with Busch Creative Services Corporation for 64,805 square feet
at 1881 Pine Street.  This lease commenced February 1, 1997 and
will expire on January 31, 2002.  The lease provides for an
annual rental rate of approximately $12.25 per square foot and
annual parking revenue of $71,400.  In addition, this tenant will
pay their pro rata share of operating expenses in excess of their
base year of 1997.  An allowance for tenant improvements of
$1,036,880 was provided to be paid out of the working capital
reserve of the Partnership.  These two leases at 1881 Pine Street
have resulted in 87,181 square feet of the 106,340 square feet
leased at December 31, 1996.  

During 1995, the lease with Hewlett-Packard Company, the single
tenant at the Apollo Building in Chelmsford, Massachusetts was
renewed for an additional 41 months.  The new monthly rental rate
of approximately $.57 per square foot for the 291,424 square foot
building began in January 1997.  This rate is lower than the rate
paid in 1996 of approximately $.76 per square foot and reflects
the market conditions in the area surrounding the property.  An
allowance for tenant improvements was provided at a total of 
$565,000 to be paid from the working capital reserve.  During
1996, Hewlett-Packard used approximately $260,000 of the
allowance for tenant improvements.  Approximately $197,000 of the
tenant improvement allowance remains as of December 31, 1996.

<PAGE>
The Kodak Building was 100% occupied at December 31, 1996 with
Eastman Kodak occupying 34,600 square feet and Invitrogen
Corporation occupying the remaining 23,147 square feet.  The
lease with Invitrogen was scheduled to expire in April 1996;
however, the lease was extended through December 1996. 
Invitrogen paid an extension fee of $20,000.  Invitrogen remained
in the building until February 1997 paying holdover rent (200% of
December 1996 rent) for January and February 1997.  Eastman
Kodak's lease is scheduled to expire February 1998.  Discussions
have commenced with Eastman Kodak regarding the possibility of
renewing early and leasing the entire building.

During the year ended December 31, 1996, quarterly distributions
totaling $589,826 and $5,958 were distributed to the Limited
Partners and General Partner, respectively for a total of
$595,784 in cash distributions.  Cash distributions were reduced
to $2.00 per unit for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 in order
to build working capital reserves to meet the cash requirements
needed for tenant improvements and lease commissions at 1881 Pine
Street as new leases are signed.  In addition, tenant
improvements and lease commissions will be required at Kodak due
to Invitrogen vacating the premises.  Management evaluates
reserves and the availability of funds for distribution to
Partners on a continuing basis based on anticipated leasing
activity and cash flows available from the Partnership
investments. Due to the significant amount of the working capital
reserve that was used and will be needed for leasing costs at all
Partnership properties, the Partnership borrowed $1,200,000 from
USAA Real Estate Company, an affiliate of the General Partner,
subsequent to year-end to fund working capital needs in 1997. 
The $6,000,000 note payable was thereby increased to $7,200,000
with a decrease in the interest rate from 10% to 9%. The maturity
date of the note was extended from September 1997 to March 1,
1999.

Future liquidity is expected to result from cash generated from
the operations of the properties, interest on temporary
investments and ultimately through the sale of the properties.


Results of Operations

For the three-years ended December 31, 1996, income was generated 
from rental income from the income-producing real estate
properties and from interest income earned on the funds in
temporary investments.

Expenses incurred during the same periods were associated with
the operation of the Partnership's properties, interest on the
mortgages and note payable and various other costs required for
administration of the Partnership.


<PAGE>
During 1996, 1995 and 1994, two of the Partnership's properties
were single-tenant properties with absolute triple net leases. 
Under an absolute triple net lease, the lessee is required to
make all payments for expenses related to the use and occupation
of the leased premises, including real estate taxes and
assessments, property and liability insurance, repairs and
maintenance, utilities and other operating costs associated with
the property.  Accordingly, the Partnership received rental
income and the lessee absorbed all such expenses on these
properties.

Rental properties decreased as of December 31, 1996 as compared
to December 31, 1995 due to depreciation, offset by tenant
improvements at 1881 Pine Street and Apollo.  Cash and cash
equivalents decreased as of December 31, 1996 as compared to
December 31, 1995 due to payment for tenant improvements. 
Deferred charges and other assets increased as of December 31,
1996 due to lease commissions at 1881 Pine Street.

Rental income decreased for the year ended 1996 as compared to
the year ended 1995 primarily due to the vacancy at 1881 Pine
Street.  The rental rate decrease at Linear due to the 1995
renewal added to the variance for 1996.  Rental income decreased
for 1995 as compared to 1994 primarily due to the single tenant
at 1881 Pine Street vacating the property in May 1995 upon
expiration of the lease.  The single tenant provided
approximately $1.3 million of rental income during 1994.  Also
contributing to the decrease in rental income in 1995 was the
rent reduction at Linear.  The tenant at Linear renewed at a
monthly rate of $.75 per square foot for the 42,130 square foot
building, which is lower than the previous monthly rate of $1.15
per square foot and reflects the current market conditions in the
area surrounding the property.

Depreciation increased for 1995 as compared to 1994 due to
improvements at 1881 Pine Street and Kodak.  Other direct
expenses were higher for 1996 as compared to 1995 due to
operating expenses at 1881 Pine Street.  1881 Pine Street
incurred legal fees for new leases, expenses for utilities,
heating and air conditioning repairs and other building service
expenses previously paid by the single tenant.  Other direct
expenses were higher for 1995 as compared to 1994 as a result of
sidewalk repairs, property tax payments and demolition costs at
the 1881 Pine Street property to enhance the appearance of the
property for showing to prospective tenants.  Also contributing
to the increase were parking lot repairs at the Apollo Building
which was part of the tenant improvement allowance. 

<PAGE>
Lower cash reserves caused the decrease in interest income for
the year ended 1996 as compared to the year ended 1995.  Higher
interest rates and an increase in cash reserves accounted for the
increase in interest income for 1995 as compared to 1994.

General and administrative expenses increased for the year ended
1996 as compared to the year ended 1995 primarily due to lease
commission expense.  Lease commissions were paid for the Linear
Technology lease renewal and the Invitrogen lease renewal at the
Kodak Building.  General and administrative expenses decreased
for 1995 as compared to 1994 due to a reduction in charges for
preparation of federal and state tax returns, a reduction in a
partnership earnings tax paid to the City of St. Louis and a
decrease in printing charges. 

The management fee payable to the adviser is based on cash flow
from operations of the Partnership adjusted for cash reserves and
fluctuated accordingly.  The decrease in the management fee for
1996 as compared to 1995 was a result of the decrease in revenues 
and an increase in operating expenses at 1881 Pine Street.

Interest expense decreased in 1996 and 1995 as compared to 1994
due to principal balance reductions.

Minority interest in joint venture earnings increased for the
year ended 1996 as compared to the year ended 1995 as a result of
an increase in net income of the joint venture property due to 
decreases in parking lot repairs and interest expense.  Minority
interest in joint venture earnings decreased for 1995 as compared
to 1994 due to a decrease in net income of the joint venture
property as a result of parking lot repairs, offset somewhat by a
decrease in interest expense.


Inflation

An increase in inflation could affect the Partnership's
investments through increases in the costs of operating and
maintaining the properties and in various administrative costs of
the Partnership operations.  The adverse effect inflation may
have on operating expenses would be offset to some extent by
increases in rental rates charged tenants at the Partnership's
properties. If high occupancy levels are maintained at the
properties, increases in rental income should offset increasing
property operating expenses with minimal effect on operating
income.

         USAA INCOME PROPERTIES IV LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
                                 

1. Organization, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and
   Other

  USAA Income Properties IV Limited Partnership is engaged solely
  in the business of real estate investment; therefore,
  presentation of information about industry segments is not
  applicable.

  The Partnership owns office buildings in Milpitas, California;
  San Diego, California; St. Louis, Missouri and a joint venture 
  interest in a research and development property in Chelmsford,
  Massachusetts.  The Partnership's revenue is subject to changes
  in the economic environments of these areas.

  The General Partner, USAA Properties IV, Inc., is a wholly-owned
  subsidiary of USAA Real Estate Company (Realco), which is a
  wholly-owned subsidiary of USAA Capital Corporation, which is
  a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Services Automobile
  Association (USAA).

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
  generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
  make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
  of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
  and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
  reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
  period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Rental properties are valued at cost.  The carrying amount of
  a property is not changed for temporary fluctuations in value
  unless the carrying value is believed to be permanently
  impaired.  In 1995, the Partnership adopted the provisions of
  Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 121,
  "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
  Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," ("Statement 121").  Statement
  121 provides guidance for determining impairment of long-lived
  assets utilizing undiscounted future cash flows.  The assessment
  for and measurement of impairment is based upon the undiscounted
  future cash flows and fair value, respectively, of the
  individual real estate properties.  Based on the provisions of
  Statement 121, the Partnership's long-lived assets,  real 
  estate and improvements are not considered impaired.  The
  adoption of Statement 121 had no financial statement impact.

  Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the
  properties using the straight-line method.  The estimated lives
  of the buildings and improvements is 30 years (31.5 - 39 years
  for Federal income tax purposes).


<PAGE>
  Rental income is recognized under the operating method, whereby
  aggregate rentals are reported on a straight-line basis as
  income over the life of the lease.  Rental income recognized was
  $96,237, $142,781 and $148,920 less than the amount due per the
  lease agreements for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
  1994, respectively.

  No provision or credit for income taxes has been made as the
  liability for such taxes is that of the Partners rather than the
  Partnership.  The Partnership files its tax return on an accrual
  basis.

  For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, all
  highly liquid marketable securities that have a maturity at
  purchase of three months or less, and money market mutual funds 
  are considered to be cash equivalents.  

  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
  the Partnership and its majority-owned joint venture.  All
  significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated in
  consolidation. 

  For financial reporting purposes, net income is allocated 1% to
  the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners.  Net income
  per limited partnership interest is based upon the limited
  partnership interests outstanding at the end of the period and
  net income allocated to the Limited Partners.

  Cash distributions per limited partnership interest were $9.75
  for 1996 and $15.00 for 1995 and 1994, and were based on the 
  limited partnership interests outstanding at each quarter end
  and the cash distributions allocated to Limited Partners.


2. Partnership Agreement

  Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, Net Cash
  from Operations shall be allocated and paid 1% to the General
  Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners.  Any Net Cash from
  Operations received by a Limited Partner shall count toward his
  6% cumulative Preferred Return, as defined in the Partnership
  Agreement.  Net Proceeds from Sales or Refinancings, shall be
  allocated and paid 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the
  Limited Partners until the Limited Partners have been returned
  their Original Invested Capital from Net Proceeds from Sales or
  Refinancings, plus their Preferred Return.  Second, Net Proceeds
  from Sales or Refinancings shall be allocated and paid to the
  Adviser in payment of any unpaid Subordinated Disposition Fee.  
  Third, Net Proceeds from Sales or Refinancings shall be allocated
  and paid 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partner.

  Generally, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit
  from operations will be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners
  and 1% to the General Partner.  Net gain or net loss from the
  sale or other disposition of a property shall be allocated as 
  described in the Partnership Agreement.

4. Investment in Joint Venture

  On May 31, 1988, the Partnership entered into the USAA
  Chelmsford Associates Joint Venture with USAA Real Estate
  Company for the ownership and operation of the Apollo Computer
  Research and Development Headquarters Building.  The Partnership
  contributed $9,000,000 for its 55.8% joint venture interest. 
  The contribution consisted of $3,000,000 in remaining offering
  proceeds and $6,000,000 in proceeds from a note payable to USAA
  Real Estate Company (note 7).

<PAGE>
  Summary financial information for the joint venture as of
  December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the years ended December 31,

5. Minimum Future Rentals

  Operating leases with tenants have remaining terms from one year 
  to five years.  Minimum future rentals are cash payments to be
  received under non-cancelable leases over the lease terms and
  do not necessarily represent rental income under generally
  accepted accounting principles.  Rental income reported in the
  Consolidated Statements of Operations is recognized under the
  operating method, whereby aggregate rentals are reported on a
  straight-line basis as income over the life of the lease. 
  Approximate minimum future rentals are as follows:


            1997             $ 3,750,000
            1998               3,519,000
            1999               3,458,000
            2000               2,102,000
            2001                 984,000
            Thereafter            66,000
                             $13,879,000 

6. Triple Net Leases

  During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership had ownership
  interests in two office buildings occupied by single tenants. 
  The lease agreements between the tenants and the Partnership
  were absolute triple net lease arrangements whereby the lessee
  is required to make all payments for expenses related to the use
  and occupation of the leased premises including real estate
  taxes and assessments, property and liability insurance, repairs
  and maintenance, utilities and other operating costs associated
  with the property.  Accordingly, net operating income reflected
  only rental income and excluded all expenses directly related
  to the operations of the property as payments for such expenses
  are made directly by the lessee.

7. Mortgages and Note Payable

  Mortgages payable at December 31:

                                          1996           1995

                                     $ 16,419,083    16,638,886

  On May 31, 1988, $6,000,000 of the total $9,000,000 Partnership

  1, 1997 and included monthly interest only payments at 10%. 
  Subsequent to year-end, the note was increased to $7,200,000 and
  was extended to March 1, 1999 with a decrease in the interest
  rate from 10% to 9%.

  Aggregate maturities of mortgages and note payable for 1997
  through 2001 are $241,000, $264,374, $7,489,934, $317,946 and
  $14,582,029 respectively.  

  Cash payments for interest expense were $2,115,064, $2,134,420
  and $2,152,088 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.


8.  Transactions with Affiliates

  USAA Real Estate Company (the Adviser) may receive property
  acquisition fees of up to 5% of gross offering proceeds, real
  estate brokerage commissions of up to 2% of the aggregate
  selling prices of properties sold and management fees of 9% of
  adjusted cash flow from operations.

  Through January 1995, a portion of the Partnership's working
  capital reserve and other available funds were invested in USAA
  Mutual Fund, Inc. and earned interest thereon at market rates.

<PAGE>
  Quorum Real Estate Services Corporation (also known as USAA 
  Realty Company), an affiliate of the General Partner, provides
  property management and leasing services for the properties and

10. Major Customer Information

  During 1996, the Partnership recorded approximately $2,763,000
  and $379,000 of rental income from single-tenant leases which
  represented approximately 72% and 10% of total rental income,
  respectively.  

  During 1995, the Partnership recorded approximately $2,759,000,
  $537,000 and $459,000 of rental income from single-tenant leases
  which represented approximately 65%, 13% and 11% of total rental
  income, respectively.  

  During 1994, the Partnership recorded approximately $2,761,000,
  $1,306,000 and $561,000 of rental income from single-tenant
  leases which represented approximately 54%, 26% and 11% of total
  rental income, respectively.  


11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

  The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates 
  fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

  The fair value of mortgages and note payable at December 31,
  1996 and 1995 was $21,767,785 and $21,677,908, respectively, and
  was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using
  interest rates currently being offered for mortgage loans and
  notes with similar characteristics and maturities.

                   Independent Auditors' Report

The Partners
USAA Income Properties IV Limited Partnership:

  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
USAA Income Properties IV Limited Partnership and majority-owned
joint venture as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, partners' equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December

responsibility of the Partnership's management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements
based on our audits.

  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

  In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of USAA Income Properties IV Limited Partnership and
majority-owned joint venture as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     "Nonrecourse Deductions":  Partnership losses or deductions
attributable to Nonrecourse Liabilities and for each Partnership
taxable year shall equal in the aggregate for the Partnership the
net increase, if any, in the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain
during that taxable year.  The Nonrecourse Deductions for a
Partnership taxable year shall consist first of depreciation or
cost recovery deductions with respect to items of Partnership
property subject to one or more Nonrecourse Liabilities of the
Partnership to the extent of the increase in Partnership Minimum
Gain attributable to the Nonrecourse Liabilities to which each
such item of property is subject, with the remainder of such
Nonrecourse Deductions, if any, made up of a pro rata portion of
the Partnership's other items of deduction or loss for that
taxable year.  If, however, such depreciation or cost recovery
deductions exceed the net increase in Partnership Minimum Gain, a
proportional share of each such deduction shall constitute a
Nonrecourse Deduction.  If the net increase in Partnership
Minimum Gain during a Partnership taxable year exceeds the total
amount of items of Partnership loss or deduction for such taxable
year, then an amount of Partnership loss and deduction for the
Partnership's next succeeding taxable year (or years) equal to
such excess shall constitute Nonrecourse Deductions, as if there
had been a net increase in Partnership Minimum Gain during such
succeeding taxable year (or years) in the amount of such excess.

in connection with the organization of the Partnership and the

     "Partnership Minimum Gain":  The amount determined by
computing, with respect to each Nonrecourse Liability, the amount
of gain, if any, that would be realized by the Partnership if it
disposed of (in a taxable transaction) the Property subject to
such liability in full satisfaction thereof, and by then
aggregating the amounts so computed.

<PAGE>
     "Partner's Share of Partnership Minimum Gain":  As to any
Partner at the end of any Partnership taxable year, the amount
equal to the aggregate Nonrecourse Deductions allocated to such
Partner (and such Partner's predecessors in interest) up to that
time, less such Partners (and such predecessor's) aggregate share
of the net decreases in Partnership Minimum Gain up to that time. 
A Partner's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain
during a Partnership taxable year equals an amount that bears the
same relation to the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain
during such year as such Partner's Share of Partnership Minimum
Gain at the end of the prior taxable year of the Partnership
bears to the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain at the end of
such prior taxable year.

     "Preferred Return":  The cumulative non-compounded preferred
return to each Limited Partner equal to 6% per annum on his
Average Annual Unreturned Invested Capital payable from either
distributions of Net Cash from Operations or Net Proceeds from
Sales or Refinancings.  Such cumulative preferred return shall be
calculated from the date the owner of such Interests is admitted
as a Limited Partner.

properties actually acquired by the Partnership.

     "Prospectus":  The prospectus contained in the Registration
Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                                          Upon liquidation of the 
                                          Partnership the General 
                                          Partner shall receive an 
                                          amount equal to the 
                                          positive balance, if any,
                                          in its capital account. 
                                          See "Income and Losses 
                                          and Cash Distributions." 
                                          Dollar amount is not 
                                          determinable at this 
                                          time.(6)



(1)  See "The Offering".

(2)  The Sales Agent shall receive a non-accountable expense
     allocation for Organizational and Offering Expenses in an
     amount equal to 2% of gross offering proceeds.  The Sales
     Agent shall pay all Organizational and Offering Expenses in
     excess of such amount.

(3)  The Partnership may invest offering proceeds, including
     working capital reserves, from time to time in a money
     market or mutual fund sponsored by USAA or its Affiliates
     for which the advisory fee shall be paid annually.  See
     "Investment Objectives and Policies--Preliminary
     Investments."  

(4)  At a minimum, an amount equal to the greater of (i) 67% of
     the Limited Partners' capital contributions or (ii) 80% of
     such capital contributions reduced by .1625% for each 1% of
     indebtedness encumbering the Partnership's Properties must
     be committed to investment in properties.  For purposes
     hereof, "Investment in Properties" is the amount of capital
     contributions actually paid or allocated to the purchase,
     development, construction or improvement of properties
     acquired by the Partnership (including working capital
     reserves not in excess of 5% of gross offering proceeds) but
     excluding front-end fees.  The remaining capital
     contributions not invested in properties are available for
     front-end fees:  Organizational and Offering Expenses,
     selling commissions, Acquisition Fees and Acquisition
     Expenses, and real estate broker commissions.  Therefore,
     assuming the Partnership acquires properties utilizing
     leverage of approximately 50% of the aggregate Purchase
     Prices, it would be required to commit to Investment in
     Properties 71.875% of gross offering 

<PAGE>
     proceeds, computed as follows: 80%  -  (50 x .1625%) =
     71.875%.  As indicated under the "Estimated Use of Proceeds"
     table, it is anticipated that the Partnership's Investment
     in Properties will be well within the limitations set forth
     above.

(5)  The General Partner or its Affiliates may be reimbursed for
     (a) the actual cost of goods and materials used for or by
     the Partnership and obtained from an entity that is not an
     Affiliate of the General Partner; (b) salaries and related
     salary expenses for services which could be performed
     directly for the Partnership by independent parties,
     including legal, accounting, transfer agent, data
     processing, duplicating and administration of investor
     accounts; and (c) the cost of Partnership reports and
     communications to investors.  No reimbursement shall be
     permitted for services for which the General Partner or
     Affiliates receive a separate fee or for (i) salaries,
     related salary expenses, traveling expenses, and other
     administrative items incurred by any Controlling Persons or
     which are not directly attributable to the rendering of
     services to the Partnership and (ii) any indirect expenses
     incurred in performing services for the Partnership, such as
     rent or depreciation, utilities, capital equipment, and
     other administrative items.  "Controlling Person" for this
     purpose shall mean any person, regardless of title, who
     performs executive or senior management functions for the
     General Partner or Affiliates similar to those of directors,
     executive management and senior management, or any person
     who either holds 5% or more equity interest in the General
     Partner or Affiliates or has the power to direct or cause
     the direction of the General Partner or Affiliates, whether
     through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or
     otherwise, or, in the absence of a specific role or title,
     any person having the power to direct or cause the direction
     of the management level employees and policies of the
     General Partner or Affiliates.  It is not intended that
     every person who carries a title such as vice president,
     senior vice president, secretary or treasurer be included in
     the definition of Controlling Person.  In no event shall any
     amount charged to the Partnership as a reimbursable expense
     by the General Partner exceed the lesser of the actual cost
     of such services, or 90% of the amount which the Partnership
     would be required to pay to independent parties for
     comparable services in the same geographic location. 
     Reimbursements are also allowable for certain Organizational
     and Offering Expenses and expenditures incurred in
     connection with the acquisition of the Properties by the
     Partnership.

(6)  Any prediction of such dollar amount would necessarily
     involve assumptions of future events that cannot be
     determined at this time.

<PAGE>
(7)  The Partnership Agreement permits the General Partner or any
     Affiliate of the General Partner to make a loan to the
     Partnership if the interest and other similar charges or
     fees on any such loan are not in excess of the amounts which
     would be charged by unaffiliated lending institutions on
     comparable loans for the same purpose in the same locality
     but not in excess of 2% above the prime rate published from
     time to time during the term of the loan by Chase Manhattan
     Bank of New York City, New York, such amount charged not to
     exceed 10% per annum.

(8)  See "Income and Losses and Cash Distributions."

(9)  Subordinated Disposition Fees payable to the Adviser or its
     Affiliates for services in connection with the sale of
     Properties shall be cumulative but shall be paid only after
     the Limited Partners have been returned their Original
     Invested Capital plus their Preferred Return from either Net
     Cash from Operations or Net Proceeds from Sales or
     Refinancings.  If an unaffiliated broker participates in the
     sale of a Property, the subordination requirement will apply
     only to the fee, if any, earned by the Adviser or its
     Affiliates.  The total of all real estate fees payable to
     all parties in connection with the sale of a Property,
     including the Subordinated Disposition Fee, shall not exceed
     the lesser of a competitive real estate fee which is
     reasonable, customary and competitive in light of the size,
     type and location of the Property or 6% of the sales price
     of the Property.


     An Affiliate of the General Partner may provide insurance
brokerage services in connection with obtaining insurance on the
Properties so long as the cost of providing such service,
including cost of the insurance, is no greater than the lower
quote obtained from two unaffiliated insurance agencies and the
coverage and terms are likewise comparable.  In no event may such
services be provided by any such Affiliate unless it is
independently engaged in the business of providing such services
to other than Affiliates and at least 75% of its insurance
brokerage service gross revenue is derived from other than
Affiliates.

     It is presently contemplated that the Properties will be
managed by unaffiliated management firms, and by the Adviser as
necessary, or by operating partners in situations where the
Partnership is a partner or joint venturer.  The Adviser and its
Affiliates are presently engaged in providing property management
services for prior USAA partnerships and will in the future
provide such services to the Partnership for some or all of the
Properties.  The Partnership Agreement permits the Partnership to
obtain property management services from the General Partner, the
Adviser, or another Affiliate of the General Partner and in the
event such services are provided the compensation therefor will
be limited to the lesser of the competitive fee for similar
services in the same geographic area or (i) 5% of gross revenues 

<PAGE>
from each residential property (included in such 5% are fees for
leasing and related services), (ii) 6% of gross revenues from
each industrial and commercial property if leasing and related
services are performed, (iii) 3% of gross revenues from each
industrial and commercial property if no leasing and related
services are performed, and (iv) 1% of gross revenues from each
industrial and commercial property leased on a long-term (10
years or more) net basis (except for a one-time initial leasing
fee of 3% of the gross revenues on each lease payable over the
first five full years of the original term of the lease).  The
actual amount of such compensation, if any, is not determinable
at this time.

     Front-End Fees consisting of Organizational and Offering
Expenses, selling commissions, Acquisition Fees and Acquisition
Expenses shall in no event exceed 13% of gross offering proceeds.

                                
            INCOME AND LOSSES AND CASH DISTRIBUTIONS
                                

NET CASH FROM OPERATIONS
     The Partnership Agreement prohibits the reinvestment (or
investment) of Net Cash from Operations available for distribution,
except as a temporary investment pending distribution to Partners. 
The availability of Net Cash from Operations is subject to (i)
payment of the Partnership's operating expenses (without deduction
for depreciation), (ii) amounts set aside to maintain a reasonable
working capital reserve (see "Investment Objectives and Policies--
Working Capital Reserve"), (iii) payment of the Partnership's other
current obligations, and (iv) payment of the Adviser Management
Fee.  See "Management Compensation" for details on calculation of
the Adviser Management Fee.

     Distribution of Net Cash from Operations will be made 1% to
the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners.  See
"Management Compensation" for a discussion of payment of the
Adviser Management Fee to the Adviser from Adjusted Cash from
Operations.  Any Net Cash from Operations received by a Limited
Partner shall count toward his 6% cumulative Preferred Return.
Distributions of Net Cash from Operations to Limited Partners will
be made quarterly, at the discretion of the General Partner and,
except for the first distribution, will be apportioned to the
Limited Partners of record on the last day of the calendar quarter
immediately preceding such distribution in proportion to the number
of Interests owned by each Limited Partner as of that date.  The
first distribution of Net Cash from Operations will be apportioned
to each Limited Partner of record on the last day of the calendar
quarter immediately preceding such distribution in the ratio that 
(i) the number of Interests held by each such Limited Partner
multiplied by the number of days that such Interests were
outstanding through the last day of the calendar quarter
immediately preceding such distribution bears to (ii) the sum for
all Interests of the product computed in (i).  The ultimate amount 

<PAGE>
of any of such distributions will depend upon attaining and
thereafter maintaining operating income and expenses of Properties
at levels permitting such distributions.

NET PROCEEDS FROM SALES OR REFINANCINGS
     During the two-year period commencing on the date of this
Prospectus, any cash received on the refinancing of any Property
will not be distributed but will be treated in the same manner as
net proceeds of the offering and reinvested in other Properties.
Thereafter, Net Proceeds from Sales or Refinancings will not be
invested or reinvested in any property or investment other than the
Properties, except as a temporary investment pending distribution
to Partners.  Net Proceeds from Sales or Refinancing, other than as
part of the liquidation of the Partnership, will be distributed as
follows:
          (i) First, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the
     Limited Partners until the Limited Partners have been returned
     their Original Invested Capital from Net Proceeds from Sales
     or Refinancings, plus their Preferred Return from either
     distributions of Net Cash from Operations or Net Proceeds from
     Sales or Refinancings;
          (ii) Second, to the Adviser so that it will receive any
     unpaid Subordinated Disposition Fees; and
          (iii) Third, 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the
     General Partner.  

However, distributions in liquidation of the Partnership will be
made in proportion to and in an amount equal to the Partners'
positive capital account balances.  For a discussion of the
calculation of Subordinated Disposition Fees, see "Management
Compensation."

     Distribution of Net Proceeds from Sales or Refinancings, if
any, will be in such amounts and at such times as the General
Partner may determine.  The amount of each distribution of Net
Proceeds from Sales or Refinancings to Limited Partners will be
apportioned and paid to the Limited Partners of record as of the
last day of the calendar month in which such Net Proceeds from
Sales or Refinancings were received by the Partnership as follows:
          (i) First, an amount equal to the unreturned Original
     Invested Capital of all Limited Partners shall be distributed
     in proportion to the unreturned Original Invested Capital of
     each such Limited Partner;
          (ii) Second, an amount equal to the unpaid Preferred
     Return of all Limited Partners shall be distributed in
     proportion to the unpaid Preferred Return of each such Limited
     Partner;
          (iii) Third, the balance shall be distributed in
     proportion to the number of Interests owned by each Limited
     Partner, except that Net Proceeds from Sales or Refinancings
     from the disposition of the last Property (or Properties if in
     a single transaction) generally will be apportioned in
     proportion to each Limited Partner's positive capital account
     balance.

<PAGE>
ALLOCATION OF INCOME AND LOSSES
     On and after the Initial Admittance Date, except as otherwise
provided herein, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and
credit from operations will be allocated 1% to the General Partner
and 99% to the Limited Partners.

     Net gain from the sale or other disposition of a Property is
generally allocated as follows:

          (i) First, to the Partners in an amount up to and in
     proportion with any negative balances in their respective
     capital accounts in excess of each respective Partner's Share
     of Partnership Minimum Gain as of the end of the taxable year
     for which the allocation is made;

          (ii) Second, 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the
     General Partner for all taxable years ending before the
     Limited Partners have been returned their Original Invested
     Capital, plus their Preferred Return.  For the taxable year
     during which distributions of Net Proceeds from Sales or
     Refinancings to Limited Partners are sufficient to return to
     the Limited Partners their Original Invested Capital, plus
     their Preferred Return, net gain is allocated 99% to the
     Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner in the minimum
     amount necessary, if any, so that the capital account balances
     of the Limited Partners equal the amounts of their respective
     unrecovered Original Invested Capital plus their unpaid
     Preferred Return less their respective Partner's Share of
     Partnership Minimum Gain as of the end of such taxable year;

          (iii) Third, 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the
     General Partner in the minimum amount necessary, if any, so
     that the aggregate balance in the capital accounts of the
     Limited Partners in excess of an amount equal to the excess of
     the sum of their unrecovered Original Invested Capital and
     their unpaid Preferred Return over the aggregate of the
     Limited Partners' Share of Partnership Minimum Gain as of the
     end of the taxable year for which the allocation is made, and
     the balance in the capital account of the General Partner in
     excess of 1.01% of an amount equal to the excess of the sum of
     the Limited Partners' unrecovered Original Invested Capital
     and their unpaid Preferred Return over the aggregate of the
     Limited Partners' Share of Partnership Minimum Gain as of the
     end of the taxable year for which the allocation is made, is
     in the ratio of 90 to 10;

          (iv) Fourth, 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the
     General Partner.

     To the extent ordinary income from recapture of depreciation
is incurred upon the sale or other disposition of a Property, such
ordinary income shall be allocated, to the extent possible, to the
Partners as a portion of their net gain allocated to the extent
such Partners received the benefit of the depreciation deduction
resulting in such ordinary income from recapture of depreciation.

     Net loss from the sale or other disposition of a Property is
generally allocated between the Limited Partners and the General
Partner as follows:

<PAGE>
          (i) First, if any gain has been allocated pursuant to
     subparagraph (iii) or (iv) of the preceding paragraph, then
     100% to the General Partner in the minimum amount necessary,
     if any, so that the aggregate balance in the capital accounts
     of the Limited Partners in excess of an amount equal to the
     excess of the sum of their unrecovered Original Invested
     Capital and their unpaid Preferred Return over the aggregate
     of the Limited Partners' Share of Partnership Minimum Gain as
     of the end of the taxable year for which the allocation is
     made, and the balance in the capital account of the General
     Partner in excess of 1.01% of an amount equal to the excess of
     the sum of the Limited Partners' unrecovered Original Invested
     Capital and their unpaid Preferred Return over the aggregate
     of the Limited Partners' Share of Partnership Minimum Gain as
     of the end of the taxable year for which the allocation is
     made, is in the ratio of 90 to 10;

          (ii) Second, if any gain has been allocated pursuant to
     subparagraph (iii) or (iv) of the preceding paragraph, then
     10% to the General Partner and 90% to the Limited Partners 
     the aggregate balance in the capital accounts of the Limited
     Partners is equal to the excess of the sum of their
     unrecovered Original Invested Capital and their unpaid
     Preferred Return over the aggregate of the Limited Partners'
     Share of Partnership Minimum Gain as of the end of the taxable
     year for which the allocation is made; and

          (iii) Third, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the
     Limited Partners.

Special rules apply to the allocation of income, gain, loss and
deductions in certain circumstances.  See Section 9.4 of the
Partnership Agreement.

     Except for Interests which are transferred during a taxable
year, in general, income, gain, loss, deduction and credit
allocated to the Limited Partners shall be computed annually and
apportioned to the Limited Partners of record at the end of each
taxable year in proportion to the number of Interests owned by each
Limited Partner as of that date.  Allocations to Limited Partners
attributable to periods before the Final Closing Date shall be
computed by an interim closing of the books as of the end of the
day immediately preceding each admittance date of Additional
Limited Partners and at the end of any taxable year during such
periods and shall be apportioned to the Limited Partners of record 
as of the end of the day immediately preceding each such admittance
date of Additional Limited Partners or on the last day of such
taxable year in proportion to the number of Interests owned by each
such Limited Partner as of each such date.  Allocations of gain and
loss resulting from a sale of a Property shall be apportioned to
those Limited Partners of record on the date the Partnership
recognizes such gain or loss and who are entitled to allocations of
gain or loss under Section 9.4 of the Partnership Agreement.  In
the event of a transfer of an Interest, each item of Partnership
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit attributable to the 

<PAGE>
transferred Interest is generally allocated on an equal daily basis
to the owner of such Interest on the basis of the number of days
that such person was the owner of such Interest; except that net
gain or net loss from the sale or other disposition of a Property
is allocated to the owner of the Interest as of the date that such
net gain or net loss is recognized by the Partnership.

     There are circumstances in which a Limited Partner in any year
may be allocated more taxable income than he would receive in
distributions of cash.  See "Federal Income Tax Aspects--Taxable
Income in Excess of Cash Distributions."

     The General Partner may amend the provisions of the
Partnership Agreement as appropriate as a result of the
promulgation of final Treasury Regulations under Sections 704 and
706 of the Code, if in the opinion of counsel such an amendment is
advisable to reflect allocations among the Limited Partners and the
General Partner consistent with those regulations.  See "Federal
Income Tax Aspects--Allocations of Income and Loss."  For a more
detailed description of the allocations under the Partnership
Agreement, see Article IX of the Partnership Agreement.


CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

     Each Partner shall have a capital account which shall be
increased by the amount of such Partner's capital contribution to
the Partnership and the amount of any income or gain allocated to
such Partner and shall be decreased by the amount of any
syndication cost, other nondeductible and deductible expense, loss
or deduction allocated to such Partner and the amount of all
distributions to such Partner.  The capital accounts shall be
established and maintained in accordance with federal income tax
principles as set forth in Treasury Regulations.

     The General Partner is required to contribute, immediately
prior to the termination of the Partnership, cash equal to the
lesser of (i) the deficit balance in its capital account or (ii)
the excess of 1.01% of all Limited Partners' Original Invested
Capital over the amount of capital previously contributed by the
General Partner.  A deficit in a Partner's capital account is not
considered an asset of the Partnership.


SOURCES AND CHARACTER OF CERTAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

     See "Investment Objectives and Policies--Working Capital
Reserve" for information pertaining to the characterization of
distributions from the working capital or other reserve as Net
Proceeds from Sales or Refinancings in the event of any
distributions from the working capital or other reserve which
result in the reduction of such reserve below 3% of gross proceeds
from the offering, the amount initially reserved for this purpose.
