                             PART I

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

        AEI  Real  Estate  Fund  XVII  Limited  Partnership  (the
"Partnership" or the "Registrant") is a limited partnership which
was  organized pursuant to the laws of the State of Minnesota  on
February  2,  1988.   The  registrant is comprised  of  AEI  Fund
Management  XVII, Inc. (AFM) as Managing General Partner,  Robert
P.  Johnson as the Individual General Partner, and purchasers  of
partnership  units as Limited Partners.  The Partnership  offered
for  sale up to $30,000,000 of limited partnership interests (the
"Units")  (30,000  Units  at  $1,000  per  Unit)  pursuant  to  a
registration   statement  effective   November   2,   1987.   The
Partnership  commenced  operations  on  February  10,  1988  when
minimum   subscriptions  of  2,000  Limited   Partnership   Units
($2,000,000)   were   accepted.    The   Partnership's   offering
terminated  November  1, 1988 when the one-year  offering  period
expired.   The  Partnership received subscriptions  for  23,388.7
Limited Partnership Units ($23,388,700).

        The Partnership was organized to acquire, initially on  a
debt-free   basis,  existing  and  newly  constructed  commercial
properties located in the United States, to lease such properties
to  tenants under triple net leases, to hold such properties  and
to  eventually sell such properties.  From subscription proceeds,
the  Partnership  purchased twenty properties, including  partial
interests in eight properties, totaling $20,026,239.  The balance
of  the  subscription  proceeds was applied to  organization  and
syndication  costs,  working capital reserves and  distributions,
which  represented a return of capital.  The properties  are  all
commercial,  single  tenant buildings  leased  under  triple  net
leases.

       The Partnership will hold its properties until the General
Partners  determine  that the sale or other  disposition  of  the
properties   is   advantageous  in  view  of  the   Partnership's
investment  objectives.  In deciding whether to sell  properties,
the  General  Partners will consider factors  such  as  potential
appreciation,  net  cash flow and income tax considerations.   In
addition,  certain lessees have been granted options to  purchase
properties  after  a  specified portion of  the  lease  term  has
elapsed.   It is anticipated that the Partnership will  sell  its
properties  within twelve years after acquisition.  At  any  time
prior to selling the properties, the Partnership may mortgage one
or  more  of its properties in amounts not exceeding 50%  of  the
fair market value of the property.

Leases

       Although there are variations in the specific terms of the
leases,  the following is a summary of the general terms  of  the
Partnership's  leases.   The properties  are  leased  to  various
tenants   under  noncancelable  triple  net  leases,  which   are
classified  as operating leases.  Under a triple net  lease,  the
lessee  is  responsible  for all real  estate  taxes,  insurance,
maintenance,  repairs and operating expenses  for  the  property.
The  initial  lease  terms are for 15 to 20  years.   The  leases
provide  for  base  annual rental payments,  payable  in  monthly
installments,  and  contain  rent  clauses  which   entitle   the
Partnership to receive additional rent in future years  based  on
stated  rent  increases  or if gross receipts  for  the  property
exceed certain specified amounts, among other conditions.

        Most  of the leases provide the lessee with two five-year
renewal options subject to the same terms and conditions  as  the
initial  lease.   Certain lessees have been  granted  options  to
purchase  the  property.  Depending on the  lease,  the  purchase
price is either determined by a formula, or is the greater of the
fair  market value of the property or the amount determined by  a
formula.  In all cases, if the option were to be exercised by the
lessee,  the  purchase price would be greater than  the  original
cost of the property.


ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. (Continued)

        On  April  22,  1993,  the Partnership  sold  a  13.4893%
interest in the Applebee's restaurant in Virginia Beach, Virginia
to  an unrelated third party.  The Partnership received net  sale
proceeds  of  $235,488 which resulted in a net gain  of  $83,739.
The  Partnership owned the Virginia Beach property as tenants-in-
common  with  the unrelated third party.  The management  of  the
property  was  governed  by a co-tenancy  agreement  between  the
Partnership  and  the unrelated third party,  which  granted  the
Partnership  the  authority  to control  the  management  of  the
property.

        In September, 1995, the lessee exercised an option in the
Lease  Agreement to purchase the property.  On November 8,  1995,
the  sale closed with the parties receiving net sale proceeds  of
$1,741,224,  which resulted in a net gain of  $679,964.   At  the
time  of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation  was
$1,279,192 and $217,932, respectively. The Partnership's share of
the  net  sale proceeds and net gain was $1,496,613 and $596,181,
respectively.

        In March 1995, the lessee of the Applebee's restaurant in
Columbia,  South  Carolina, exercised  an  option  in  the  Lease
Agreement to purchase the property.  On July 28, 1995,  the  sale
closed  with  the  Partnership receiving  net  sale  proceeds  of
$715,545  which resulted in a net gain of $307,167.  At the  time
of  sale,  the cost and related accumulated depreciation  of  the
property was $534,974 and $126,596, respectively.

        In July 1995, the lessee of the Applebee's restaurant  in
Hampton, Virginia, exercised an option in the Lease Agreement  to
purchase the property.  On August 31, 1995, the sale closed  with
the  Partnership receiving net sale proceeds of $1,747,127  which
resulted  in  a net gain of $661,866.  At the time of  sale,  the
cost  and  related accumulated depreciation of the  property  was
$1,287,072 and $201,811, respectively.

       On October 25, 1995, the Partnership sold two of the Jiffy
Lube Auto Care Centers to the lessee.  The Partnership recognized
net  sale proceeds of $322,442, which resulted in a net  gain  of
$78,244  for  the Jiffy Lube in Garland, Texas.  At the  time  of
sale,  the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $303,108
and  $58,910, respectively.  The Partnership recognized net  sale
proceeds  of  $483,653, which resulted in a net gain of  $112,985
for  one  of the Jiffy Lube's in Dallas, Texas.  At the  time  of
sale,  the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $454,300
and $83,632, respectively.

         In   September,  1995,  the  lessee  of  the  Applebee's
restaurant in Richmond, Virginia exercised an option in the Lease
Agreement  to  purchase the property.  On October 30,  1995,  the
sale  closed with the Partnership receiving net sale proceeds  of
$1,905,438,  which resulted in a net gain of  $746,293.   At  the
time  of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation  was
$1,375,732 and $216,587, respectively.

         In   January,   1996,   the  Cheddar's   restaurant   in
Indianapolis,  Indiana was destroyed by a fire.  The  Partnership
has reached a preliminary agreement with the tenant and insurance
company which calls for demolition of the building and payment to
the  Partnership of approximately $428,000 for the  building  and
equipment and approximately $50,000 for lost rent.  The  property
will  not  be rebuilt and the Partnership will list the land  for
sale.    The   Partnership's   cost   and   related   accumulated
depreciation in the building and equipment at December  31,  1995
was  $512,433  and $182,863, respectively.  The settlement  would
result in a net gain of approximately $98,430.  The Partnership's
cost of the land is $261,644.

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. (Continued)

        The  Managing  General  Partner  is  in  the  process  of
preparing  a  proxy  statement to propose  an  amendment  to  the
Limited Partnership Agreement that would allow the Partnership to
reinvest  the  majority  of  the  sales  proceeds  in  additional
properties.   If  the  amendment  is  approved,  a  property  the
Partnership  may  purchase is a Tractor Supply Company  Store  in
Tupelo,  Mississippi.  The purchase price will  be  approximately
$1,300,000.   The  property  will be  leased  to  Tractor  Supply
Company  under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 14  years
and annual rental payments of approximately $139,750.

        The  Partnership owns a 65% interest in the J.T. McCord's
property  in Mesquite, Texas.  In December, 1995, the Partnership
took  possession of the property after the lessee was  unable  to
perform  under the terms of the Lease.  The property is currently
listed  for sale or lease.  While the property is being re-leased
or sold, the Partnership is responsible for the real estate taxes
and other costs required to maintain the property.

        The  Partnership owns a 65.09% interest  in  the  Sizzler
restaurant at the King's Island Theme Park near Cincinnati,  Ohio
and  a 100% interest in a Sizzler restaurant on Fields Ertel Road
in  Cincinnati,  Ohio.  In November, 1993,  after  reviewing  the
lessee's  operating results, the Partnership determined that  the
lessee  would  be unable to operate the restaurant  in  a  manner
capable  of maximizing the restaurants' sales.  Consequently,  at
the   direction  of  the  Partnership,  a  multi-unit  restaurant
operator   assumed  operation  of  the  restaurants   while   the
Partnership reviewed the available options.

       In January, 1994, the Partnership closed the restaurant at
King's  Island  and  listed  it for sale  or  lease.   While  the
property   is  being  re-leased  or  sold,  the  Partnership   is
responsible for the real estate taxes and other costs required to
maintain  the property.  The Partnership agreed to indemnify  the
operator  against  operating  deficits  while  it  reviewed   the
available options.

       On July 15, 1994, the Partnership re-leased the Sizzler on
Fields Ertel Road to Fields Ertel Foods, Inc. (FEF).  FEF was not
able  to  profitably  operate  the  restaurant  and  closed   the
restaurant.

       The Partnership has reached a verbal agreement to re-lease
the  property  on Fields Ertel Road to FFT Cincinnati  Ltd.   The
lease is expected to be signed in March, 1996.

Major Tenants

        During  1995,  four  of  the Partnership's  lessees  each
contributed  more  than  ten percent of the  Partnership's  total
rental  revenue.  The major tenants in aggregate contributed  75%
of  the  Partnership's  total rental  revenue  in  1995.   It  is
anticipated  that, based on the minimum rental payments  required
under  the  leases, each major tenant will continue to contribute
more  than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental  revenue
in  1996  and future years.  The only exception is the tenant  in
the  Applebee's properties will not continue to be  major  tenant
since  the  properties were sold in 1995.  Any failure  of  these
major  tenants  could  materially affect  the  Partnership's  net
income and cash distributions.

Competition

        The  Partnership is a minor factor in the commercial real
estate  business.   There are numerous entities  engaged  in  the
commercial  real  estate  business which have  greater  financial
resources  than  the  Partnership.  At the time  the  Partnership
elects to dispose of its properties, the Partnership will  be  in
competition  with other persons and entities to find  buyers  for
its properties.

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. (Continued)

Employees

        The  Partnership  has  no direct  employees.   Management
services   are  performed  for  the  Partnership  by   AEI   Fund
Management, Inc., an affiliate of AFM.

ITEM 2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES.

Investment Objectives

        The  Partnership's investment objectives were to  acquire
existing or newly-developed commercial properties throughout  the
United  States that offer the potential for (i) preservation  and
protection  of  the  Partnership's capital; (ii)  partially  tax-
deferred  cash distributions from operations which  may  increase
through  rent  participation clauses or mandated rent  increases;
and  (iii) long-term capital gains through appreciation in  value
of   the  Partnership's  properties  realized  upon  sale.    The
Partnership  does not have a policy, and there is no  limitation,
as  to the amount or percentage of assets that may be invested in
any  one  property.  However, to the extent possible, the General
Partners  attempt  to  diversify the type  and  location  of  the
Partnership's properties.

Description of Properties

        The  Partnership's properties are all commercial,  single
tenant  buildings.  All the properties were acquired on  a  debt-
free  basis and are leased to various tenants under noncancelable
triple net leases, which are classified as operating leases.  The
Partnership  holds  an  undivided  fee  simple  interest  in  the
properties.   At  any time prior to selling the  properties,  the
Partnership may mortgage one or more of its properties in amounts
not exceeding 50% of the fair market value of the property.

        The  Partnership's properties are subject to the  general
competitive conditions incident to the ownership of single tenant
investment  real estate.  Since each property is leased  under  a
long-term   lease,   there  is  little  competition   until   the
Partnership  decides to sell the property.   At  this  time,  the
Partnership will be competing with other real estate  owners,  on
both a national and local level, in attempting to find buyers for
the   properties.   In  the  event  of  a  tenant  default,   the
Partnership would be competing with other real estate owners, who
have  property vacancies, to attract a new tenant  to  lease  the
property.   The Partnership's tenants operate in industries  that
are  very  competitive and can be affected  by  factors  such  as
changes  in regional or local economies, seasonality and  changes
in consumer preference.

        The  following table is a summary of the properties  that
the Partnership acquired and owned as of December 31, 1995.

ITEM 2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES. (Continued)

        The  properties  listed above with  a  partial  ownership
percentage  are  owned with affiliates of the  Partnership.   AEI
Real  Estate  Fund  XVI Limited Partnership  owns  the  remaining
interest in the Jiffy Lube, the J.T. McCord's restaurant and  the
Cheddar's  restaurant.   AEI  Real Estate  Funds  XVI  and  XVIII
Limited  Partnerships own the remaining interest in  the  Sizzler
restaurant in Cincinnati, Ohio.

        Each  Partnership owns a separate, undivided interest  in
the  properties.   No  specific agreement  or  commitment  exists
between the Partnerships as to the management of their respective
interests in the properties, and the Partnership that holds  more
than  a  50% interest does not control decisions over  the  other
Partnership's interest.

        The  initial Lease terms are for 20 years except for  the
Taco  Cabana restaurant and the Children's World daycare centers,
which  have  Lease terms of 15 years.  Most of  the  Leases  have
renewal options which may extend the Lease term an additional  10
years.

       Pursuant to the Lease Agreements, the tenants are required
to provide proof of adequate insurance coverage on the properties
they  occupy.   The General Partners believe the  properties  are
adequately covered by insurance and consider the properties to be
well-maintained and sufficient for the Partnership's operations.

         For  tax  purposes,  the  Partnership's  properties  are
depreciated  under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery  System
(MACRS).  The largest depreciable component of a property is  the
building  which  is depreciated, using the straight-line  method,
over  31.5  years.   The remaining depreciable  components  of  a
property  are personal property and land improvements  which  are
depreciated,  using an accelerated method, over 5 and  15  years,
respectively.  Since the Partnership has tax-exempt Partners, the
Partnership is subject to the rules of Section 168(h)(6)  of  the
Internal  Revenue  Code  which  requires  a  percentage  of   the
properties' depreciable components to be depreciated over  longer
lives using the straight-line method.  In general the federal tax
basis of the properties for tax depreciation purposes is the same
as the basis for book depreciation purposes.

ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND
          RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.

        As  of  December  31, 1995, there were 2,055  holders  of
record  of the registrant's Limited Partnership Units.  There  is
no  other  class  of  security outstanding  or  authorized.   The
registrant's  Units  are  not a traded security  in  any  market.
However, the Partnership may purchase Units from Limited Partners
who have tendered their Units to the Partnership.  Such Units may
be  acquired at a discount.  The Partnership is not obligated  to
purchase  in any year more than 5% of the total number  of  Units
outstanding  at  the  beginning of the  year  and  in  no  event,
obligated  to  purchase Units if such purchase would  impair  the
capital or operation of the Partnership.


ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND
          RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.  (Continued)


        During 1995, eleven Limited Partners redeemed a total  of
55   Partnership  Units  for  $35,807  in  accordance  with   the
Partnership Agreement.  In prior years, a total of twelve Limited
Partners  redeemed  227  Partnership  Units  for  $192,222.   The
redemptions  increase the remaining Limited  Partners'  ownership
interest in the Partnership.

       Cash distributions of $19,738 and $20,581 were made to the
General Partners and $1,918,208 and $2,037,470 were made  to  the
Limited   Partners   in   1995  and  1994,   respectively.    The
distributions  were made on a quarterly basis and  represent  Net
Cash   Flow,  as  defined,  except  as  discussed  below.   These
distributions  should  not be compared  with  dividends  paid  on
capital stock by corporations.

        As  part  of the Limited Partner distributions  discussed
above,  the  Partnership distributed proceeds from  the  property
sales  of  $920,747  and $23,385 in 1995 and 1994,  respectively.
The  distributions reduced the Limited Partners' Adjusted Capital
Contributions.

ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.

Results of Operations

       The Partnership's rental income is derived from long-term,
triple net lease agreements on the Partnership's properties.  For
the  years  ended  December 31, 1995 and  1994,  the  Partnership
recognized   rental   income   of  $2,086,765   and   $2,192,044,
respectively.  During  the same periods, the  Partnership  earned
investment income of $91,758 and $7,841, respectively.  In  1995,
rental  income  decreased $161,956 as a result of   the  property
sales  discussed  below.   The  decrease  in  rental  income  was
partially offset by rent increases of $38,920 on eight properties
and  additional investment income earned on the net proceeds from
the property sales.

        In  March,  1995,  the Partnership  received  $36,592  of
insurance  proceeds  for vandalism to the  Kings  Island  Sizzler
restaurant.  Damage to the property was minor and the Partnership
has  elected  not  to make repairs at this time.   The  insurance
proceeds are shown as Other Income on the Income Statement.

       In May, 1990, Flagship, Inc. (Flagship), the lessee of the
J.T. McCord's property, filed for reorganization, after occupying
the property for approximately five years.  Flagship continued to
operate  the  property  while attempting to  develop  a  plan  of
reorganization which would be acceptable to the bankruptcy  court
and its creditors.  In 1992, it became apparent that Flagship did
not  have  the  financial resources to operate  the  property  in
compliance  with  the  Lease.  In March, 1993,  the  Partnership,
along  with affiliated Partnerships which also own J.T.  McCord's
properties,  filed  its own plan of reorganization  (the  "Plan")
with  the  Court.   That Plan provided for  an  assignee  of  the
Partnerships  (a replacement tenant) to purchase  the  assets  of
Flagship  and  operate the restaurants with financial  assistance
from  the  Partnerships.  This Plan was  expected  to  allow  the
Partnerships to avoid closing these properties, allow  operations
to  continue  uninterrupted, and avoid further costly  litigation
with  Flagship and its creditors.  The Plan was confirmed by  the
Court and the creditors April 16, 1993 and became effective  July
20,  1993.  At that time, various claims between Flagship and the
Partnership were dismissed.  On April 21, 1993, the Partnership's
assignee,   WIM,  Inc.  (WIM),  took  over  management   of   the
restaurants.


ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.  (Continued)

        To  entice WIM to operate the restaurants and enter  into
the  Lease Agreements, the Partnership provided funds to renovate
the  restaurants and paid for operating expenses.   However,  WIM
was  not able to operate the properties profitably and was unable
to make rental payments as provided in the Lease Agreements.  The
Partnership's  share of renovation and operating expenses  during
this  period  was $222,976.  To reduce expenses and minimize  the
losses  produced  by this property, the Partnership  amended  the
agreement  to provide for WIM to make annual rental  payments  of
the  greater  of  $60,000 or 5.5% of sales beginning  October  1,
1994.  In December, 1995, the Partnership took possession of  the
property after WIM was unable to perform under the terms  of  the
Lease.   The  property is currently listed  for  sale  or  lease.
While the property is being re-leased or sold, the Partnership is
responsible for the real estate taxes and other costs required to
maintain the property.

        As  part  of the Plan, the Partnerships which  own  these
properties,  were  responsible  for  an  annual  payment  to  the
Creditors  Trust  of approximately $110,000  for  the  next  five
years.  The Partnership's share of the annual payment is $23,833.
In  1994,  the  Partnership  expensed  $103,595  to  record  this
liability and administrative costs related to the bankruptcy.

       In 1995, the Partnership negotiated a settlement, with the
trustee,  for a lump sum payment of the minimum amount  due  over
the remaining term of the plan for release of the Partnership and
WIM   from   any   other  financial  obligations  and   reporting
requirements  to  the  trustee.  The settlement  of  $73,667  was
completed in the fourth quarter of 1995.

        The  Partnership owns a 65.09% interest  in  the  Sizzler
restaurant at the King's Island Theme Park near Cincinnati,  Ohio
and  a 100% interest in a Sizzler restaurant on Fields Ertel Road
in  Cincinnati,  Ohio.  In November, 1992,  after  reviewing  the
operating results of the lessee, the Partnership agreed to  amend
the Lease Agreements of the Sizzler restaurants.  As of November,
1993,   the  lessee  was  in  default  under  the  amended  Lease
Agreements.  After reviewing the lessee's operating results,  the
Partnership determined that the lessee would be unable to operate
the restaurant in a manner capable of maximizing the restaurants'
sales.   Consequently,  at the direction of  the  Partnership,  a
multi-unit   restaurant  operator  assumed   operation   of   the
restaurants while the Partnership reviewed the available options.

       In January, 1994, the Partnership closed the restaurant at
King's  Island  and  listed  it for sale  or  lease.   While  the
property   is  being  re-leased  or  sold,  the  Partnership   is
responsible for the real estate taxes and other costs required to
maintain  the property.  The Partnership agreed to indemnify  the
operator  against  operating  deficits  while  it  reviewed   the
available  options.   As  a  result of the  indemnification,  the
Partnership recognized additional Partnership administration  and
property management expenses of $75,023 in 1994.

       On July 15, 1994, the Partnership re-leased the Sizzler on
Fields Ertel Road to Fields Ertel Foods, Inc. (FEF) under a Lease
Agreement  with  a  primary term of 20 years  and  annual  rental
payments  based on a percentage of sales.  FEF was  not  able  to
profitably operate the restaurant and closed the restaurant.  The
total  amount of rent not collected in 1995 and 1994 was $382,367
and  $372,200,  respectively,  for  the  two  properties.   These
amounts were not accrued for financial reporting purposes.

       The Partnership has reached a verbal agreement to re-lease
the property on Fields Ertel Road to FFT Cincinnati Ltd. under  a
triple net lease agreement with a primary term of 20 years  which
may be renewed for up to four consecutive five-year periods.  The
annual  base rent is $19,750 for the first lease year and $75,000
for  the  second lease year, with rent increases each  subsequent
lease  year  of  two  percent  of the  prior  year's  rent.   The
Partnership  may  also receive percentage rent  if  sales  exceed
certain amounts.


ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.  (Continued)

        During  the years ended December 31, 1995 and  1994,  the
Partnership   paid   Partnership   administration   expenses   to
affiliated parties of $302,383 and $305,302, respectively.  These
administration  expenses  include  costs  associated   with   the
management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting
requirements  and correspondence to the Limited Partners.  During
the   same   periods,   the  Partnership   incurred   Partnership
administration  and property management expenses  from  unrelated
parties  of $128,323 and $511,571, respectively.  These  expenses
represent  direct payments to third parties for legal and  filing
fees,  direct administrative costs, outside audit and  accounting
costs,  taxes, insurance and other property costs.  The  decrease
in  these expenses in 1995, when compared to 1994, is the  result
of  expenses  incurred in 1994 related to the J.T.  McCord's  and
Sizzler situations discussed above.

       As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership's annualized cash
distribution  rate  was  7.0%,  based  on  the  Adjusted  Capital
Contribution.   Distributions of Net Cash  Flow  to  the  General
Partners were subordinated to the Limited Partners as required in
the Partnership Agreement.  As a result, 99% of distributions and
income  were allocated to Limited Partners and 1% to the  General
Partners.

        Inflation  has  had  a  minimal  effect  on  income  from
operations.   It is expected that increases in sales  volumes  of
the  tenants, due to inflation and real sales growth, will result
in  an  increase  in rental income over the term of  the  leases.
Inflation  also  may  cause  the  Partnership's  real  estate  to
appreciate in value.  However, inflation and changing prices  may
also  have  an  adverse impact on the operating  margins  of  the
properties' tenants which could impair their ability to pay  rent
and subsequently reduce the Partnership's Net Cash Flow available
for distributions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        During  1995,  the Partnership's cash balances  increased
$6,361,151   due  to  the  sale  of  six  of  the   Partnership's
properties.  Net cash provided by operating activities  increased
from $1,481,451 in 1994 to $1,657,742 in 1995.  In 1995, net cash
income  before depreciation, when compared to 1994, increased  by
approximately   $393,000.   In  1994,  net  cash  income   before
depreciation  was  depressed mainly due  to  property  management
expenses  incurred  related  to the  J.T.  McCord's  and  Sizzler
situations  discussed  above. The increase  in  net  cash  income
before   depreciation  was  partially  offset   by   net   timing
differences  in the collection of payments from the  lessees  and
the payment of expenses by the Partnership.

        Net  cash  provided  by  investing  activities  was
$6,608,318, which represents the net cash proceeds from the  sale
of  six  of  the  Partnership's properties.  In March  1995,  the
lessee  of the Applebee's restaurant in Columbia, South Carolina,
exercised  an  option  in  the Lease Agreement  to  purchase  the
property.  On July 28, 1995, the sale closed with the Partnership
receiving net sale proceeds of $715,545 which resulted in  a  net
gain  of  $307,167.  At the time of sale, the  cost  and  related
accumulated  depreciation  of  the  property  was  $534,974   and
$126,596, respectively.

        In July 1995, the lessee of the Applebee's restaurant  in
Hampton, Virginia, exercised an option in the Lease Agreement  to
purchase the property.  On August 31, 1995, the sale closed  with
the  Partnership receiving net sale proceeds of $1,747,127  which
resulted  in  a net gain of $661,866.  At the time of  sale,  the
cost  and  related accumulated depreciation of the  property  was
$1,287,072 and $201,811, respectively.


ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.  (Continued)

       On October 25, 1995, the Partnership sold two of the Jiffy
Lube Auto Care Centers to the lessee.  The Partnership recognized
net  sale proceeds of $322,442, which resulted in a net  gain  of
$78,244  for  the Jiffy Lube in Garland, Texas.  At the  time  of
sale,  the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $303,108
and  $58,910, respectively.  The Partnership recognized net  sale
proceeds  of  $483,653, which resulted in a net gain of  $112,985
for  one  of the Jiffy Lube's in Dallas, Texas.  At the  time  of
sale,  the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $454,300
and $83,632, respectively.

         In   September,  1995,  the  lessee  of  the  Applebee's
restaurant in Richmond, Virginia exercised an option in the Lease
Agreement  to  purchase the property.  On October 30,  1995,  the
sale  closed with the Partnership receiving net sale proceeds  of
$1,905,438,  which resulted in a net gain of  $746,293.   At  the
time  of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation  was
$1,375,732 and $216,587, respectively.  A portion of the net sale
proceeds  was  used  to  pay off the bank note  and  satisfy  the
mortgage on the property as discussed below.

        On  April  22,  1993,  the Partnership  sold  a  13.4893%
interest in the Applebee's restaurant in Virginia Beach, Virginia
to  an unrelated third party.  The Partnership owned the Virginia
Beach  property  as  tenants-in-common with the  unrelated  third
party.   The  management of the property was governed  by  a  co-
tenancy agreement between the Partnership and the unrelated third
party, which granted the Partnership the authority to control the
management  of the property.  The Partnership accounted  for  its
interest   under  the  full  consolidation  method  whereby   the
unrelated third party's interest in the property is reflected  in
the Partnership's financial statements as a minority interest.

        In September, 1995, the lessee exercised an option in the
Lease  Agreement to purchase the property.  On November 8,  1995,
the  sale closed with the parties receiving net sale proceeds  of
$1,741,224, which resulted in a net gain of $679,964. At the time
of  sale,  the  cost  and  related accumulated  depreciation  was
$1,279,192 and $217,932, respectively. The Partnership's share of
the  net  sale proceeds and net gain was $1,496,613 and $596,181,
respectively.

         In   January,   1996,   the  Cheddar's   restaurant   in
Indianapolis,  Indiana was destroyed by a fire.  The  Partnership
has reached a preliminary agreement with the tenant and insurance
company which calls for demolition of the building and payment to
the  Partnership of approximately $428,000 for the  building  and
equipment and approximately $50,000 for lost rent.  The  property
will  not  be rebuilt and the Partnership will list the land  for
sale.    The   Partnership's   cost   and   related   accumulated
depreciation in the building and equipment at December  31,  1995
was  $512,433  and $182,863, respectively.  The settlement  would
result in a net gain of approximately $98,430.  The Partnership's
cost of the land is $261,644.

       During 1995 and 1994, the Partnership distributed $930,047
and  $23,621 of the net sale proceeds to the Limited and  General
Partners,  which represented a return of capital  of  $39.82  and
$1.01  per Limited Partnership Unit, respectively.  The  Managing
General  Partner is in the process of preparing a proxy statement
to propose an amendment to the Limited Partnership Agreement that
would allow the Partnership to reinvest the majority of the sales
proceeds in additional properties.

        If  the amendment is approved, a property the Partnership
may  purchase  is  a  Tractor Supply  Company  Store  in  Tupelo,
Mississippi.    The   purchase  price   will   be   approximately
$1,300,000.   The  property  will be  leased  to  Tractor  Supply
Company  under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 14  years
and annual rental payments of approximately $139,750.


ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.  (Continued)

       The Partnership's primary use of cash flow is distribution
and  redemption  payments to Partners.  The Partnership  declares
its  regular  quarterly  distributions before  the  end  of  each
quarter and pays the distribution in the first week after the end
of  each quarter.  The Partnership attempts to maintain a  stable
distribution  rate from quarter to quarter.  Redemption  payments
are  paid  to  redeeming Partners in the fourth quarter  of  each
year.  In 1994, the Partnership made distributions at a 9.0% rate
which  resulted in distributions to the Partners of approximately
$2,058,000.  Effective January 1, 1995, the distribution rate was
reduced  to 7.0% which resulted in distributions to the  Partners
of  approximately $1,584,000.  The reduction in distributions  in
1995  was partially offset by a special distribution of net  sale
proceeds of approximately $354,000 made in December, 1995.

        The  Partnership may purchase Units from Limited Partners
who have tendered their Units to the Partnership.  Such Units may
be  acquired at a discount.  The Partnership is not obligated  to
purchase  in any year more than 5% of the total number  of  Units
outstanding  at  the  beginning of the  year  and  in  no  event,
obligated  to  purchase Units if such purchase would  impair  the
capital or operation of the Partnership.

        During 1995, eleven Limited Partners redeemed a total  of
55   Partnership  Units  for  $35,807  in  accordance  with   the
Partnership Agreement. The Partnership acquired these Units using
Net Cash Flow from operations.  In prior years, a total of twelve
Limited  Partners  redeemed 227 Partnership Units  for  $192,222.
The   redemptions   increase  the  remaining  Limited   Partners'
ownership interest in the Partnership.

        On January 31, 1994, the Partnership entered into a five-
year bank term Note for $195,000 with interest equal to the prime
rate plus one half percent.  Proceeds from the Note were advanced
to  WIM  for  renovation  and  other restaurant  operating  costs
related  to the J.T. McCord's property.  The Partnership provided
a  mortgage  and  a Lease Assignment Agreement on its  Applebee's
restaurant in Richmond, Virginia as collateral for the loan.   On
October 30, 1995, the Partnership sold the property and a portion
of the net proceeds was used to pay off the outstanding principal
balance  of the bank Note and satisfy the mortgage.  In 1995  and
1994,  interest  expense  on the Note was  $12,460  and  $12,884,
respectively.

       In September, 1994, the Partnership established a $150,000
unsecured  line  of credit at Fidelity Bank of Edina,  Minnesota.
On January 5, 1995, the line of credit was increased to $400,000.
The  line  of  credit bears interest at the prime rate  (8.5%  on
December  31, 1995 and 1994) plus one percent on the  outstanding
balance,  which is due on demand, but in any event no later  than
January  5, 1996.  The line of credit was established to  provide
short-term financing to cover any temporary cash deficits.  As of
December  31,  1995 and 1994, no amount was due on  the  line  of
credit.   In 1995 and 1994, interest expense related to the  line
of credit was $7,016 and $1,446, respectively.

      The  continuing rent payments from the properties, together
with  cash generated from the property sales, should be  adequate
to  fund  continuing  distributions and  meet  other  Partnership
obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.

                  INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT





To the Partners:
AEI Real Estate Fund XVII Limited Partnership
St. Paul, Minnesota






      We  have audited the accompanying balance sheet of AEI REAL
ESTATE   FUND  XVII  LIMITED  PARTNERSHIP  (a  Minnesota  limited
partnership)  as  of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and  the  related
statements of income, cash flows and changes in partners' capital
for  the  years then ended.  These financial statements  are  the
responsibility    of   the   Partnership's    management.     Our
responsibility  is  to  express an  opinion  on  these  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 financial statements referred to above
present  fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of  AEI  Real Estate Fund XVII Limited Partnership as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows  for  the  years then ended, in conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

     For  tax  purposes,  profits  from  operations,  other  than
     profits  attributable  to  the  sale,  exchange,  financing,
     refinancing   or  other  disposition  of  the  Partnership's
     property,  will  be  allocated first in the  same  ratio  in
     which,  and  to the extent, Net Cash Flow is distributed  to
     the Partners for such year.  Any additional profits will  be
     allocated 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General
     Partners.  In  the event no Net Cash Flow is distributed  to
     the  Limited  Partners,  90% of  each  item  of  Partnership
     income,  gain  or credit for each respective year  shall  be
     allocated to the Limited Partners, and 10% of each such item
     shall be allocated to the General Partners.  Net losses from
     operations will be allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and
     2% to the General Partners.
     
     For  tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing,
     or  other disposition of the Partnership's property will  be
     allocated  in  accordance with the Partnership Agreement  as
     follows:  (i) first, to those partners with deficit balances
     in  their capital accounts in an amount equal to the sum  of
     such  deficit  balances; (ii) second,  99%  to  the  Limited
     Partners  and 1% to the General Partners until the aggregate

     plus  an  amount  equal  to 14% of  their  Adjusted  Capital
     Contributions  per annum, cumulative but not compounded,  to
     the  extent  not previously allocated; (iii) third,  to  the
     General Partners until cumulative allocations to the General

     Partnership or withdrawal by a General Partner, the  General
     Partners will contribute to the Partnership an amount  equal
     to  the  lesser  of  the deficit balances in  their  capital
     accounts  or  1%  of  total Limited  Partners'  and  General
     Partners' capital contributions.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -

     Financial Statement Presentation

       The  accounts  of  the Partnership are maintained  on  the
       accrual  basis of accounting for both federal  income  tax
       purposes and financial reporting purposes.

     Accounting Estimates
     
       Management  uses  estimates and assumptions  in  preparing
       these  financial statements in accordance  with  generally
       accepted  accounting  principles.   Those  estimates   and
       assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets  and
       liabilities,  the  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and
       liabilities,  and  the  reported  revenues  and  expenses.
       Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                   DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)

       Given that the Partnership has had limited success in  its
       efforts to lease or dispose of certain properties,  it  is
       reasonably  possible that the Partnership's estimate  that
       it  will  recover the carrying amount of these  properties
       from  future operations or sales will change in  the  near
       term and the effect of the change could be material.
       
     Cash Concentrations of Credit Risk

       At  times  throughout  the year,  the  Partnership's  cash
       deposited  in  financial  institutions  may  exceed   FDIC
       insurance limits.

     Statement of Cash Flows
     
       For  purposes  of  reporting cash  flows,  cash  and  cash
       equivalents  include cash in checking,  cash  invested  in
       money  market  accounts, certificates of deposit,  federal
       agency  notes  and commercial paper with a term  of  three
       months or less.
       
     Income Taxes

       The  income or loss of the Partnership for federal  income
       tax  reporting  purposes is includable in the  income  tax
       returns of the partners.  Accordingly, no recognition  has
       been  given to income taxes in the accompanying  financial
       statements.
       
       The  tax  return, the qualification of the Partnership  as
       such  for  tax  purposes, and the amount of  distributable
       Partnership  income or loss are subject to examination  by
       federal   and  state  taxing  authorities.   If  such   an
       examination  results  in  changes  with  respect  to   the
       Partnership  qualification or in changes to  distributable
       Partnership  income  or loss, the taxable  income  of  the
       partners would be adjusted accordingly.

     Real Estate

       The  Partnership's real estate is leased  under  long-term
       triple  net  leases classified as operating  leases.   The
       Partnership  recognizes  rental  revenue  on  the  accrual
       basis  according  to  the terms of the individual  leases.
       For  leases  which contain cost of living  increases,  the
       increases  are  recognized in the year in which  they  are
       effective.
       
       Real  estate is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated
       net  realizable value.  The Financial Accounting Standards
       Board  has issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting  for  the
       Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived  Assets
       to   be   Disposed   Of"  which  is  effective   for   the
       Partnership's  fiscal year ended December 31,  1996.   The
       Partnership  regularly reviews the carrying value  of  its
       properties  and  will  reduce  properties  to  their   net
       realizable value as needed.  Adoption of Statement 121  is
       not   expected   to  have  a  material   effect   on   the
       Partnership's operations.
       
       The  Partnership  has capitalized as Investments  in  Real
       Estate   certain   costs  incurred  in  the   review   and
       acquisition  of the properties.  The costs were  allocated
       to the land, buildings and equipment.

       The   buildings  and  equipment  of  the  Partnership  are
       depreciated  using the straight-line method for  financial
       reporting purposes based on estimated useful lives  of  30

(3)  Related Party Transactions -

     On  February  12,  1988,  the  Partnership  acquired  a  65%
     interest in the J.T. McCord's restaurant in Mesquite,  Texas
     and  a  50%  interest in the Jiffy Lube Auto Care Center  in
     Garland,  Texas.   On  February 16,  1988,  the  Partnership
     acquired  a  50%  interest  in  a  Cheddar's  restaurant  in
     Indianapolis,  Indiana.  On March 1, 1988,  the  Partnership
     acquired a 75% interest in two Jiffy Lube Auto Care  Centers
     in  Dallas, Texas.  On May 6, 1988, the Partnership acquired
     a  41.88% interest in the Applebee's restaurant in Columbia,
     South Carolina.  The remaining interests in these properties

     an  affiliate of the Partnership.  On January 30, 1990,  the
     Partnership  acquired  a  65.09%  interest  in   a   Sizzler
     restaurant  in Cincinnati, Ohio.  The remaining interest  in
     this  property  is owned by AEI Real Estate  Funds  XVI  and
     XVIII Limited Partnerships, affiliates of the Partnership.
     
     Each Partnership owns a separate, undivided interest in  the
     properties.   No  specific agreement  or  commitment  exists
     between  the  Partnerships as to  the  management  of  their
     respective  interests in the properties, and the Partnership
     that  holds  more  than  a  50% interest  does  not  control
     decisions  over  the  other  Partnership's  interest.    The
     financial   statements  reflect  only   this   Partnership's
     percentage  share  of  the properties'  land,  building  and
     equipment, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

     paid in the normal course of business.

(4)  Investments in Real Estate -

     The  Partnership  leases its properties to  various  tenants
     through   non-cancelable  triple  net  leases,   which   are
     classified  as operating leases.  Under a triple net  lease,
     the  lessee  is  responsible  for  all  real  estate  taxes,
     insurance,  maintenance, repairs and operating  expenses  of
     the  property.   The initial Lease terms are  for  20  years
     except for the Taco Cabana and the Children's Worlds,  which
     have  Lease  terms  of 15 years.  Most of  the  leases  have
     renewal   options  which  may  extend  the  Lease  term   an
     additional 10 years.  The Leases contain rent clauses  which
     entitle the Partnership to receive additional rent in future
     years  based  on stated rent increases or if gross  receipts
     for  the  property exceed certain specified  amounts,  among
     other conditions.  Certain lessees have been granted options
     to  purchase  the  property.  Depending on  the  lease,  the
     purchase price is either determined by a formula, or is  the
     greater  of  the  fair market value of the property  or  the
     amount determined by a formula.  In all cases, if the option
     were to be exercised by the lessee, the purchase price would
     be greater than the original cost of the property.

     On  April 22, 1993, the Partnership sold a 13.4893% interest
     in  the Applebee's restaurant in Virginia Beach, Virginia to
     an   unrelated  third  party.   The  Partnership  owned  the
     Virginia  Beach  property  as  tenants-in-common  with   the
     unrelated  third party.  The management of the property  was
     governed  by  a co-tenancy agreement between the Partnership
     and the unrelated third party, which granted the Partnership
     the  authority  to control the management of  the  property.
     The  Partnership accounted for its interest under  the  full
     consolidation  method  whereby the unrelated  third  party's
     interest  in  the property is reflected in the Partnership's
     financial statements as a minority interest.

     purchase  is  a  Tractor  Supply Company  Store  in  Tupelo,
     Mississippi.   The  purchase  price  will  be  approximately
     $1,300,000.   The property will be leased to Tractor  Supply
     Company  under a Lease Agreement with a primary term  of  14
     years and annual rental payments of approximately $139,750.
     
     In  May, 1990, Flagship, Inc. (Flagship), the lessee of  the
     J.T.  McCord's  property,  filed for  reorganization,  after
     occupying   the  property  for  approximately  five   years.
     Flagship  continued to operate the property while attempting
     to   develop  a  plan  of  reorganization  which  would   be
     acceptable  to  the bankruptcy court and its creditors.   In
     1992,  it  became apparent that Flagship did  not  have  the
     financial  resources to operate the property  in  compliance
     with the Lease.  In March, 1993, the Partnership, along with
     affiliated   Partnerships  which  also  own  J.T.   McCord's
     properties,  filed  its  own  plan  of  reorganization  (the
     "Plan")  with the Court.  That Plan provided for an assignee
     of  the Partnerships (a replacement tenant) to purchase  the
     assets   of  Flagship  and  operate  the  restaurants   with
     financial assistance from the Partnerships.  This  Plan  was
     expected  to  allow the Partnerships to avoid closing  these
     properties, allow operations to continue uninterrupted,  and
     avoid  further  costly  litigation  with  Flagship  and  its
     creditors.   The  Plan was confirmed by the  Court  and  the
     creditors April 16, 1993 and became effective July 20, 1993.
     At  that  time,  various  claims between  Flagship  and  the
     Partnership  were  dismissed.   On  April  21,   1993,   the
     Partnership's   assignee,  WIM,  Inc.   (WIM),   took   over
     management of the restaurants.
     
     To  entice WIM to operate the restaurants and enter into the
     Lease Agreements, the Partnership provided funds to renovate
     the  restaurants and paid for operating expenses.   However,
     WIM  was  not able to operate the properties profitably  and
     was  unable to make rental payments as provided in the Lease
     Agreements.   The  Partnership's  share  of  renovation  and
     operating  expenses  during this period  was  $222,976.   To
     reduce  expenses  and minimize the losses produced  by  this
     property,  the Partnership amended the agreement to  provide
     for  WIM  to  make annual rental payments of the greater  of
     $60,000  or  5.5% of sales beginning October  1,  1994.   In
     December,  1995,  the  Partnership took  possession  of  the
     property after WIM was unable to perform under the terms  of
     the  Lease.   The property is currently listed for  sale  or
     lease.   While the property is being re-leased or sold,  the
     Partnership  is  responsible for the real estate  taxes  and
     other costs required to maintain the property.
     
     As  part  of  the  plan, the Partnerships  which  own  these
     properties,  were responsible for an annual payment  to  the
     Creditors Trust of approximately $110,000 for the next  five
     years.   The  Partnership's share of the annual  payment  is
     $23,833.   In  1994,  the Partnership expensed  $103,595  to
     record  this liability and administrative costs  related  to
     the bankruptcy.

(4)  Investments in Real Estate - (Continued)

     In  1995, the Partnership negotiated a settlement, with  the
     trustee,  for a lump sum payment of the minimum  amount  due
     over  the  remaining  term of the plan for  release  of  the
     Partnership and WIM from any other financial obligations and
     reporting  requirements to the trustee.  The  settlement  of
     $73,667 was completed in the fourth quarter of 1995.
     
     The  Partnership  owns  a  65.09% interest  in  the  Sizzler
     restaurant  at the King's Island Theme Park near Cincinnati,
     Ohio  and a 100% interest in a Sizzler restaurant on  Fields
     Ertel  Road  in Cincinnati, Ohio.  In November, 1992,  after
     reviewing   the  operating  results  of  the   lessee,   the
     Partnership  agreed  to amend the Lease  Agreements  of  the
     Sizzler  restaurants.  As of November, 1993, the lessee  was
     in  default  under  the  amended  Lease  Agreements.   After
     reviewing  the  lessee's operating results, the  Partnership
     determined  that the lessee would be unable to  operate  the
     restaurant   in   a   manner  capable  of   maximizing   the
     restaurants' sales.  Consequently, at the direction  of  the
     Partnership,   a  multi-unit  restaurant  operator   assumed
     operation of the restaurants while the Partnership  reviewed
     the available options.
     
     In  January, 1994, the Partnership closed the restaurant  at
     King's  Island and listed it for sale or lease.   While  the
     property  is  being  re-leased or sold, the  Partnership  is
     responsible  for  the  real estate  taxes  and  other  costs
     required  to maintain the property.  The Partnership  agreed
     to  indemnify the operator against operating deficits  while
     it  reviewed  the  available options.  As a  result  of  the
     indemnification,   the  Partnership  recognized   additional
     Partnership administration and property management  expenses
     of $75,023 in 1994.
     
     On  July 15, 1994, the Partnership re-leased the Sizzler  on
     Fields Ertel Road to Fields Ertel Foods, Inc. (FEF) under  a
     Lease  Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and  annual
     rental payments based on a percentage of sales.  FEF was not
     able  to  profitably operate the restaurant and  closed  the
     restaurant.  The total amount of rent not collected in  1995
     and  1994 was $382,367 and $372,200, respectively,  for  the
     two   properties.   These  amounts  were  not  accrued   for
     financial reporting purposes.
     
     The  Partnership has reached a verbal agreement to  re-lease
     the  property  on  Fields Ertel Road to FFT Cincinnati  Ltd.
     under a triple net lease agreement with a primary term of 20
     years  which may be renewed for up to four consecutive five-
     year periods.  The annual base rent is $19,750 for the first
     lease year and $75,000 for the second lease year, with  rent
     increases each subsequent lease year of two percent  of  the
     prior   year's  rent.   The  Partnership  may  also  receive
     percentage rent if sales exceed certain amounts.

                                   ==============

     The Partnership recognized contingent rents in 1995 and 1994
     of $31,682 and $26,226, respectively.

(5)  Security Deposit -
     
     In February, 1994, the Partnership called a letter of credit
     for  $37,307 related to Danny's Family Car Wash in  Phoenix,
     Arizona.  The Partnership is holding the funds as a security
     deposit until the lessee renews the letter of credit.
     
(6)  Long Term Debt -
     
     On  January 31, 1994, the Partnership entered into  a  five-
     year  bank term Note for $195,000 with interest at the prime
     rate  plus  one half percent.  Proceeds from the  Note  were
     advanced  to  WIM for renovation and other restaurant  costs
     related  to  the  J.T. McCord's property.   The  Partnership
     provided a mortgage and a Lease Assignment Agreement on  the
     Applebee's  restaurant in Richmond, Virginia  as  collateral
     for  the  loan.  On October 30, 1995, a portion of  the  net
     proceeds  from the sale of the Applebee's property was  used
     to  pay  off the outstanding principal balance of  the  bank
     Note  and  satisfy the mortgage.  In 1995 and 1994, interest
     expense on the Note was $12,460 and $12,884, respectively.
     
(7)  Line of Credit -

     In  September, 1994, the Partnership established a  $150,000
     unsecured  line  of  credit  at  Fidelity  Bank  of   Edina,
     Minnesota.   On  January 5, 1995, the  line  of  credit  was
     increased to $400,000.  The line of credit bears interest at
     the prime rate (8.5% on December 31, 1995 and 1994) plus one
     percent  on the outstanding balance, which is due on demand,
     but in any event no later than January 5, 1996.  The line of
     credit  was  established to provide short-term financing  to
     cover any temporary cash deficits.  As of December 31,  1995
     and  1994, no amount was due on the line of credit.  In 1995
     and 1994, interest expense related to the line of credit was
     $7,016 and $1,446, respectively.

(10) Partners' Capital -

     Cash  distributions of $19,738 and $20,581 were made to  the
     General Partners and $1,918,208 and $2,037,470 were made  to
     the  Limited Partners for the years ended December 31,  1995
     and 1994, respectively.  The Limited Partners' distributions
     represent  $82.87  and $87.97 per Limited  Partnership  Unit
     outstanding  using 23,148 and 23,162 weighted average  Units
     in  1995  and 1994.  The distributions represent $82.87  and
     $33.32  per Unit of Net Income and $-0- and $54.65  and  per
     Unit  of  return  of contributed capital in 1995  and  1994,
     respectively.
     
     As  part  of  the  Limited  Partner distributions  discussed
     above,   the  Partnership  distributed  proceeds  from   the
     property  sales  of $920,747 and $23,385 in 1995  and  1994,
     respectively.    The  distributions  reduced   the   Limited
     Partners' Adjusted Capital Contributions.
     
     Distributions  of  Net  Cash Flow to  the  General  Partners
     during  1995  and  1994  were subordinated  to  the  Limited
     Partners  as  required in the Partnership Agreement.   As  a
     result,  99%  of distributions and income were allocated  to
     the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners.

(10) Partners' Capital - (Continued)

     The  Partnership may acquire Units from Limited Partners who
     have  tendered their Units to the Partnership.   Such  Units
     may  be  acquired  at  a discount.  The Partnership  is  not
     obligated to purchase in any year more than 5% of the number
     of  Units outstanding at the beginning of the year and in no
     event,  obligated to purchase Units if such  purchase  would
     impair the capital or operation of the Partnership.
     
     During 1995, eleven Limited Partners redeemed a total of  55
     Partnership  Units  for  $35,807  in  accordance  with   the
     Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership acquired these Units
     using   Net  Cash  Flow  from  operations.   In  1994,   the
     Partnership  did  not  redeem any  Units  from  the  Limited
     Partners.   The  redemptions increase the remaining  Limited
     Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership.
     
     After  the  effect of redemptions and the return of  capital
     from   the   sale   of   property,  the   Adjusted   Capital
     Contribution,  as defined in the Partnership  Agreement,  is
     $929.81 per original $1,000 invested.

               REAL ESTATE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
                              
                              
1.  PARTIES.  The  parties to this Real Estate Purchase
Agreement (this "Agreement") are AEI Real Estate Fund
XVI Limited Partnership, a Minnesota limited partnership
("Seller"),whose address is 30 East Seventh Street,
1300 Minn. World Trade Center, St. Paul, MN 55101, and
JIFFY LUBE INTERNATIONAL OF MARYLAND, INC., a Maryland
corporation (the "Purchaser"), whose principal address
is 700 Milam, Houston, Texas 77002.

2.  PURPOSE/PROPERTY.  Pursuant to the terms  of  this
Agreement, Seller  will  sell and the Purchaser will
purchase  those  certain tracts of land identified as:

  (a) 5763 Samuell Blvd., City of Dallas, County of Dallas,
      State of Texas, and

  (b) 201  South First Street, City of Garland, County  of
      Dallas, State of Texas,

Exhibit  A-1  and Exhibit A-2, respectively, attached hereto
and made a part  hereof for  all  purposes,  together with
any and all  personal  property located thereon as of the
date of closing.

3.  PURCHASE  PRICE.  The total purchase price  for  each
of  the Properties  (including the consideration for any
improvements  or fixtures located at each of the Properties,
if any) is SIX HUNDRED FIFTY  THOUSAND  and NO/100 DOLLARS
($650,000.00)  (the  "Purchase Price"), of which SIX HUNDRED
THOUSAND and NO/100 DOLLARS is to be paid  by  wire
transfer  into Seller's account,  subject  to  the
adjustments  described  below,  if  any,  at  Closing,  and
FIFTY THOUSAND and NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00) is to be
evidenced  by  a promissory  note  delivered  by the
Purchaser  to  the  Seller  at Closing  and  is to be paid
by the Purchaser's check  or,  at  the Purchaser's  option,
by wire transfer into Seller's  account  upon the  earlier
of the following events: (a) the expiration  of  one year
from the date of Closing, or (b) the expiration of ten  days
after  the  closing  of the sale of the Property  in
question  by Purchaser  to  a  third party. The obligation
to  pay  such  FIFTY THOUSAND and NO/100 DOLLARS as part of
the Purchase Price of  each Property shall be secured by
deeds of trust.

4.  EARNEST  MONEY DEPOSIT AND RATIFICATION OF LEASE. In
lieu  of Earnest  Money  Deposit,  both Seller  and
Purchaser  ratify  and confirm  that  the  properties are
currently encumbered  by  Lease Agreements ("Lease") dated
July 23, 1987 by and between Seller (as "Landlord")  and
Purchaser  (as  "Tenant").  In  accordance  with Paragraph
15  herein,  should this Agreement  terminate  for  any
reason,  the  Lease  shall  continue  in  full  force  and
effect throughout  the  term of the Lease. The parties
confirm  that  the Lease  shall remain in full force and
effect from the date  hereof until  this Agreement is either
terminated or Closing shall  occur as contemplated
hereunder.

5.  TITLE.  Title to the Properties is to be conveyed by a
General Warranty  Deed, in a form commonly used in the state
in which  the Property  is  located.  The Properties will
be  conveyed  in  fee simple, subject to:

 (a) local and/or municipal zoning regulations, ordinances,
     building restrictions, regulations and any violations
     thereof;
    
 (b) all assessments, costs and charges for any and all
     municipal improvements affecting or benefiting the
     Property; and

 (c) covenants, restrictions, easements, agreements,
     encumbrances and defects in title of record,
     affecting or benefiting the Property, same being
     specifically described as indicated in the Title
     Report.
       
6.  TITLE REPORT/COMMITMENT. Seller shall deliver to
Purchaser, at Seller's  sole cost and expense, a Commitment
for Title  Insurance ("the  Title  Commitment") indicating
the present  status  of  the title  to  the Properties
within thirty (30) days of the effective date  of  this
Agreement.  The Title Commitment  shall  show  all matters
affecting  title  to  the  Properties,   including   all
exceptions,  easements,  restrictions,  right-of  ways,
covenant, reservations,  encumbrances, and other  conditions
affecting  the Properties  which  will  appear in the  Title
Commitment.  Within fifteen  (15) days of the receipt of
such Title Policy, Purchaser, if unsatisfied with the status
of title, shall provide Seller with a  written  statement
setting forth Purchaser's  title  objections (the "Notice of
Title Objections"). In the event Seller elects  to do so,
Seller shall have fifteen (15) days from the receipt of the
Notice  of  Title Objections within which to take such
actions  as are necessary to discharge the objections. If
Seller is unable  or unwilling to discharge the objections
within the aforesaid fifteen (15) day period, Purchaser
shall elect to (a) accept such title as Seller  may be able
to deliver or (b) terminate this Agreement  by providing
Seller with written notice of termination. Upon Seller's
receipt of a notice of termination, this Agreement shall be
deemed null  and  void,  with  neither party having any
further  rights, obligations  or  liabilities hereunder, and
thereafter  the  Lease shall continue in full force and
effect throughout the term of the Lease.  If  Seller  does
not receive a Notice of Title  Objections within the
aforementioned fifteen (15) day review period, then  it
shall be conclusively deemed that Purchaser is satisfied
with  the condition  of  title  as shown on the Title Report
and  Purchaser shall have waived its right to object to the
status of title.

7.  HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. (a) Definition. As used in this  Section
7, the phrase "Hazardous Materials" shall mean (1) any "hazardous
waste" as  defined by the resource Conversation and Recovery Act of
1976, as amended from time to time, and the regulations promulgated
under that act;  (2)  any  "hazardous substance" as defined by the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act  of  1980,  as amended from time to time, and the regulations
promulgated under that act;  (3) any oil, petroleum products, or
their byproducts;  and  (4) any    substance  now  regulated  by
any  federal,  state,  or  local governmental authority.

 (b) Purchaser's indemnity. The Purchaser shall defend, indemnify
     and hold  the  Seller harmless from any and all claims, demands,
     actions and causes of action, including reasonable attorney's fees,
     connected with  or related to contamination of either Property by
     any Hazardous Materials  which occurs or occurred at any time
     before the  Purchaser sells such Property to a third party
     unrelated to Purchaser, provided that Seller  gives Purchaser
     timely notice of such  claims and a reasonable opportunity to
     defend against such claim and/or to conduct appropriate remedial
     measures, and provided further that under  no circumstances shall
     the Purchaser be required to conduct remediation efforts not
     required by applicable governmental regulation.

8.  DEFAULT;  REMEDIES.  If the conditions, if  any,  to
Purchaser's obligation  to  close  this transaction are satisfied
or  waived  by Purchaser  and  Purchaser nevertheless fails,
through  no  fault  of Seller, to close the purchase of the
Properties, Seller's sole remedy shall consist of the termination
of this Agreement and thereafter the Lease  Agreement  shall
continue in full force and effect  throughout the term of the
Lease. In the event Seller fails, through no fault of
Purchaser,  to close the sale of the Properties, Purchaser  shall
be entitled  to termination of this Agreement and, thereafter the
Lease Agreement shall continue in full force and effect throughout
the term of the Lease.

9. POSSESSION. Purchaser is currently in possession of the
Properties as Tenant under the Lease. Seller will transfer title of
ownership at closing  and  the Lease between Seller (as "Landlord")
and  Purchaser (as  "Tenant) shall be deemed to be terminated
without the  need  for the  parties  to  execute any formal
documentation, unless  otherwise agreed to by the parties.

10.  TAXES AND UTILITY ASSESSMENTS. Real and personal property
taxes, water  and  sewer  assessments are currently paid  by
Purchaser,  as Tenant  under the Lease. Seller shall assist

if  such policy is desired by Purchaser. Purchaser is responsible
for  the payment of any other costs and expenses, including costs

that  there is no real estate broker involved in this transaction
and no commission is due to any party.

written  notice to close ("Notice to Close") sent  by  Seller  to
Purchaser.  The  Notice to Close shall set forth a  closing  date
which  shall  not  be  more  than  thirty  (30)  days  after  all
contingencies  have  been  met, subject  to  fulfillment  of  the
requirements  of  this Agreement. In any case, the  Closing  Date
shall  not be more than Ninety (90) days after the date  of  this
Agreement, unless mutually extended by both parties.

15.  TERMINATION/RISK  OF LOSS AND CONDEMNATION.  This  Agreement
will  expire if there is no closing within the time specified  in
the  Notice  of  Closing, plus any mutually agreed extensions  of
such  time.  In  addition  to  other provisions  for  termination
provided  for  herein, this Agreement may be  terminated  by  the
Purchaser prior to closing if:

 (a) all or part of the buildings, fixtures, equipment or
     improvements to be conveyed pursuant to this Agreement
     (excluding any equipment which is not repairable as of the
     date of this Agreement or constitutes Seller's Property)
     are destroyed or damaged beyond repair prior to closing;
     provided that such damage is not the result of the
     negligence or willful acts or omissions of Purchaser, its
     agents, representatives or visitors; or

 (b) all or a substantial part of the Property is condemned or
     Seller receives notice of an intended condemnation by any
     governmental authority prior to closing.

If  the  Purchaser  proceeds to closing without terminating
this Agreement,  Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any
of  the grounds  upon  which  it  could have terminated  this
Agreement; provided,  however,  in  the event Purchaser
proceeds  with  the purchase of the Property despite a notice
of condemnation  having been  served on Seller, at closing

convey to Purchaser any  and  all rights that Seller may have
regarding  recovery in any condemnation proceeding relating to
the Property commenced after closing. If Purchaser terminates
this Agreement pursuant to  the provisions of this Agreement,
neither party shall have any  claim for damages against the
other for breach of this Agreement except that each party shall
be responsible for its own  out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with this transaction.  Should this Agreement
terminate for any reason, the Lease (as defined in Paragraph 4)
shall remain in full force and effect.
