             and December 31, 1997

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

               (1)  Liquidity

                     As  of  March 31, 1998, Registrant  had  cash  of
$2,843,602.   The  Registrant expects that the  funds  plus  the  cash
generated  from operations at each property (less amounts  distributed
to  the  partners of the Partnership referred to in the next sentence)
will  be  sufficient to fund the operating expenses of the properties.
Subsequent  to  the end of the quarter, in April 1998, the  Registrant
distributed $2,276,586 to the partners.  The Registrant is  not  aware
of any additional sources of liquidity.

                     As  of  March 31, 1998, Registrant had restricted
cash  of  $32,400  consisting primarily  of  funds  held  as  security
deposits 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  first  quarter of  1998,  Registrant
incurred  a  loss  of  $18,285 ($2.19 per  limited  partnership  unit)
compared to income of $9,030 ($1.02 per limited partnership unit)  for
the same period in 1997.

                    Rental income increased $3,531 from $42,211 in the
first  quarter  of 1997 to $45,742 in the same period  in  1998.   The
increase  in  rental  income is the result of an  increase  in  rental
income at Brass Works due to an increase in the average occupancy (93%
to  97%)  and  an  increase at Locke Mill due to an  increase  in  the
average occupancy.

                     Interest income decreased $36,101 from $60,453 in
the  first quarter of 1997 to $24,352 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 $3,909
from  $44,180  in  the first quarter of 1997 to $40,271  in  the  same
period  in 1998.  The decrease is the result of a decrease in expenses
at  Henderson  partially  offset  by  a  slight  overall  increase  in
operating  expenses  at  Brass Works and an  increase  in  maintenance
expense at Locke Mill due to the cleaning of the carpets in several of
the apartment units.

                     Income  recognized  during  the  quarter  at  the
Registrant's three properties amounted to $13,000, compared to  income
of approximately $42,000 for the same period in 1997.

                      In   the   first  quarter  of  1998,  Registrant
recognized income of $19,000 at The Henderson Apartments, compared  to
income  of $48,000 in the first quarter 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 receivables on  December  31,
1997  partially offset by a decrease in expenses.  As a result of  the
sale of the notes receivable, income will be significantly reduced  in
future quarters.

                     In the first quarter of 1998, Registrant incurred
a loss of $7,000 at the Brass Works, including $12,000 of depreciation
expense,   compared  to  a  loss  of  $7,000  including   $12,000   of
depreciation expense in the first quarter of 1997.  Although there was
no  overall change in the loss from the first quarter of 1997  to  the
same  period in 1998 there was an increase in rental income due to  an
increase  in the average occupancy (93% to 97%) offset by  an  overall
increase in operating expenses due to the increase in occupancy.

                      In   the   first  quarter  of  1998,  Registrant
recognized income of $1,000 at the Locke Mill Plaza, including  $7,000
of depreciation expense, compared to income of $1,000 including $6,000
of  depreciation expense in the first quarter of 1997.  Although there
was  no overall change in income from the first quarter of 1997 to the
same  period in 1998 there was an increase in rental income due to  an
increase  in  the  average  rental rates  offset  by  an  increase  in
maintenance expense due to the cleaning of the carpets in  several  of
the apartment units in January and an increase in depreciation expense
due to the depreciation of capital improvements.
