                    PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

               (1)  Liquidity

                     As of September 30, 1998, Registrant had cash  of
approximately  $593,154.  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  September  30,  1998,  Registrant   had
restricted  cash  of $39,728 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  third  quarter of  1998,  Registrant
incurred a loss of $8,287 ($.99 per limited partnership unit) compared
to income of $37,851 ($4.52 per limited partnership unit) for the same
period  in  1997.  For the first nine months of 1998,  the  Registrant
incurred  a  loss  of  $39,704 ($4.74 per  limited  partnership  unit)
compared to income of $41,831 ($5.00 per limited partnership unit) for
the same period in 1997.

                    Rental income increased $2,099 from $49,964 in the
third  quarter  of  1997 to $52,063 in the same  period  in  1998  and
increased $11,160 from $134,348 for the first nine months of  1997  to
$145,508  in  the same period in 1998.  The increase in rental  income
for  the third quarter and the first nine months of 1997 from the same
periods in 1998 is the result of an increase at the Brass Works due to
an increase in the average occupancy and the average rental rates.

                     Interest income decreased $57,503 from $60,836 in
the  third  quarter of 1997 to $3,333 in the same period in  1998  and
decreased $150,535 from $181,860 for the first nine months of 1997  to
$31,325 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  $419
from  $23,495  in  the third quarter of 1997 to $23,076  in  the  same
period  in  1998  and for the first nine months of 1998  decreased  by
$38,801 from $126,015 for the first nine months of 1997 to $87,214  in
the  same period in 1998.  The decrease from the first nine 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 and wages and salaries expense at Locke Mill due to  a
higher turnover of apartment units.

                     Income  recognized  during  the  quarter  at  the
Registrant's three properties amounted to $9,000, compared  to  income
of  approximately $69,000 for the same period in 1997.  For the  first
nine  months  of  1998, the Registrant recognized  income  of  $32,000
compared  to income of approximately $137,000 for the same  period  in
1997.

                      In   the   third  quarter  of  1998,  Registrant
recognized  income of $4,000 at The Henderson Apartments  compared  to
income of $68,000 in the third quarter of 1997 and for the first  nine
months  of  1998, Registrant recognized income of $26,000 compared  to
income  of $138,000 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   third  quarter  of  1998,  Registrant
recognized  income of $8,000 at the Brass Works, including $12,000  of
depreciation  expense, compared to a loss of $3,000 including  $12,000
of depreciation expense in the third quarter of 1997 and for the first
nine  months of 1998, Registrant recognized income of $7,000 including
$36,000 of depreciation expense, compared to a loss of $4,000 for  the
same  period in 1997, including $24,000 of depreciation expense.   The
increase from the third quarter and the first nine months of  1997  to
the  same periods in 1998 is due to an increase in rental income.  The
increase  in  rental  income  is due to an  increase  in  the  average
occupancy  (88% to 97%) for the third quarter and for the  first  nine
months  (91%  to 98%) combined with an increase in the average  rental
rates.

                     In the third quarter of 1998, Registrant incurred
a  loss  of  $3,000  at  the  Locke Mill Plaza,  including  $7,000  of
depreciation expense, compared to income of $4,000 including $6,000 of
depreciation expense in the second quarter of 1997 and for  the  first
nine  months  of 1998, Registrant incurred a loss of $1,000  including
$20,000 of depreciation expense, compared to income of $3,000 for  the
same  period in 1997, including $19,000 of depreciation expense.   The
increase  in  the loss for both the third quarter and the  first  nine
months  of  1998  from the same periods in 1997 is the  result  of  an
increase  in  maintenance and wages and salaries  expense  due  to  an
increase in the turnover of apartment units.
