Item 2.        Management's Discussion and Analysis of
               Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

               (1)  Liquidity

                     As  of  June  30, 1998, Registrant  had  cash  of
approximately  $572,055.  The Registrant expects that the  funds  plus
the cash generated from operations at each property will be sufficient
to  fund the operating expenses of the properties.  In addition to the
operating  expenses  of  the  properties, the  Registrant  distributed
$2,276,586  to the limited partners in April 1998.  The Registrant  is
not aware of any additional sources of liquidity.

                     As  of  June 30, 1998, Registrant had  restricted
cash  of  $36,458  consisting primarily  of  funds  held  as  security
deposits,  replacement reserves and escrows for taxes  and  insurance.
As  a  consequence of the restrictions as to use, Registrant does  not
deem these funds to be a source of liquidity.

               (2)  Capital Resources

                     Due  to the relatively recent rehabilitations  of
the   properties,  any  capital  expenditures  needed  are   generally
replacement  items  and are funded out of cash from  operations.   The
Registrant  is  not aware of any factors which would cause  historical
capital   expenditure   levels  not  to  be  indicative   of   capital
requirements in the future and accordingly, does not believe  that  it
will  have to commit material resources to capital investment for  the
foreseeable future.

               (3)  Results of Operations

                     During  the  second quarter of  1998,  Registrant
incurred  a  loss  of  $13,130 ($1.57 per  limited  partnership  unit)
compared  to a loss of $5,050 ($.60 per limited partnership unit)  for
the  same  period  in  1997.  For the first six months  of  1998,  the
Registrant  incurred a loss of $31,417 ($3.75 per limited  partnership
unit) compared to income of $3,980 ($.48 per limited partnership unit)
for the same period in 1997.

                    Rental income increased $5,530 from $42,173 in the
second  quarter  of  1997 to $47,703 in the same period  in  1998  and
increased  $9,061  from $84,384 for the first six months  of  1997  to
$93,445 in the same period in 1998.  The increase in rental income for
the  second  quarter and the first six months of 1997  from  the  same
periods  in 1998 is the result of an increase at the Brass  Works  and
Locke Mill due to increases in the average occupancy.

                     Interest income decreased $56,931 from $60,571 in
the  second quarter of 1997 to $3,640 in the same period in  1998  and
decreased  $93,032 from $121,024 for the first six months of  1997  to
$27,992 in the same period in 1998.  The decrease is the result of the
sale  of  the  notes receivable relating to the Henderson property  on
December 30, 1997.

                    Expense for rental operations decreased by $34,475
from  $58,340  in the second quarter of 1997 to $23,864  in  the  same
period  in  1998  and for the first six months of  1998  decreased  by
$38,382  from $102,520 for the first six months of 1997 to $64,138  in
the  same period in 1998.  The decrease for the second quarter and the
first six months of 1998 from the same period in 1997 is the result of
a decrease at Henderson due to the sale of units partially offset with
an  increase in maintenance expense at both Locke Mill and Brass Works
due to a higher turnover of apartment units.

                     Income  recognized  during  the  quarter  at  the
Registrant's three properties amounted to $11,000, compared to  income
of  approximately $26,000 for the same period in 1996.  For the  first
six  months  of  1998,  the Registrant recognized  income  of  $24,000
compared  to  income of approximately $68,000 for the same  period  in
1996.

                      In   the  second  quarter  of  1998,  Registrant
recognized  income of $3,000 at The Henderson Apartments  compared  to
income of $22,000 in the second quarter of 1997 and for the first  six
months  of  1998, Registrant recognized income of $22,000 compared  to
income  of $70,000 for the same period of 1997.  The decrease  in  net
income  is  a  result of a decrease in interest earned  on  the  notes
receivable  due  to the sale of the notes receivable on  December  31,
1997 partially offset by a decrease in expenses.

                      In   the  second  quarter  of  1998,  Registrant
recognized  income of $6,000 at the Brass Works, including $12,000  of
depreciation  expense, compared to income of $6,000 including  $12,000
of  depreciation  expense in the second quarter of 1997  and  for  the
first  six  months  of  1998, Registrant incurred  a  loss  of  $1,000
including  $24,000  of depreciation expense, compared  to  a  loss  of
$1,000  for the same period in 1997, including $24,000 of depreciation
expense.   Although  there was no significant  change,  there  was  an
increase  in  rental  income  offset by  an  increase  in  maintenance
expense.  The increase in rental income is due to an increase  in  the
average  occupancy  (92% to 99%) for the second quarter  and  for  the
first  six months (92% to 98%) and an increase in maintenance  expense
due to an increase in the turnover of apartment units.

                      In   the  second  quarter  of  1998,  Registrant
recognized income of $2,000 at the Locke Mill Plaza, including  $8,000
of depreciation expense, compared to a loss of $2,000 including $8,000
of  depreciation expense in the second quarter of 1997.  The  increase
in  income for the second quarter of 1998 from the same period in 1997
is  the  result of an increase in rental income due to an increase  in
the average occupancy (79% to 92%).

                     For  the  first  six months of  1998,  Registrant
recognized income of $3,000 at the Locke Mill Plaza including  $13,000
of  depreciation expense, compared to a loss of $1,000  for  the  same
period  in  1997,  including  $13,000 of  depreciation  expense.   The
increase  in  income for the first six months in 1998  from  the  same
period in 1998 is the result of an increase in rental income due to an
increase in the average occupancy (86% to 93%) partially offset by  an
increase in maintenance expense due to an increase in the turnover  of
apartment units.
