July 25, 1997

           TO:  MEDICAL INCOME PROPERTIES 2B, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

      SUBJECT: OFFER TO PURCHASE 100% OF THE PARTNERSHIP UNITS FOR $28 PER UNIT

Dear Fellow Limited Partner:

     Enclosed  with this letter is an offer to pay you $28 per Unit,  less a $15
transfer fee which Qualicorp,  the general partner of Medical Income  Properties
2B charges to transfer  each  account,  for any and all Units you own in Medical
Income Properties 2B Limited Partnership ("MIP 2B"). MacKenzie  Patterson,  Inc.
has  recently  been  informed  by  Qualicorp  that the  transfer  fee is $15 for
accounts with less than 6 units and $25 for accounts  with 6 or more units.  The
Purchasers  will pay any  additional  transfer costs above the $15 the seller is
currently  paying.  This  offer is for  100% of the  10,907  units  outstanding.
MacKenzie  Patterson,  Inc.  ("MPI")  represents a group of investment  entities
which currently own 205 (approximately 1.9%) of MIP 2B, JDF and Associates, LLC,
Previously  Owned  Partnerships  Income Fund II, LP,  Specified  Income Fund,LP,
MacKenzie  Patterson  Special Fund,  LP,  MacKenzie  Fund VI, LP, Steve Gold and
Moraga Gold, LLC, (the  "Purchasers")  are making this offer. The Purchaser does
not intend to request a change in control or from the current general partner.

The Purchaser is interested in acquiring units of MIP 2B for investment purposes
only.

As you are aware,  MIP 2B has sold all of its properties and has announced plans
for the liquidation of the partnership over approximately  three years.  Limited
Partners in MIP 2B have just recently received distributions in the total amount
of $878 per unit. The general  partner of MIP 2B has now announced the intention
of distributing only one additional  payment:  of up to $83 prior to July, 2000.
The  partnership  must  delay the final  distribution  to allow  time to collect
outstanding  receivables,  to allow  Medicare to complete  its audit of the cost
reports for the  facilities in which the  partnership  had an interest,  and the
completion  of the  period  during  which the  partnership  must  indemnify  the
purchaser of the partnership's properties for certain potential claims. MIP 2B's
general partner has expressed the belief that while there are significant  risks
that something less than the estimated  receivables  will actually be collected,
and further that Medicare may make claims  against the  partnership  larger than
anticipated,  notwithstanding  the Purchasers believe that the general partner's
estimates  are  sufficiently  conservative  to support the  likelihood  that the
projected distribution amounts will be achieved.

The  Purchasers  are  interested  in  acquiring  the rights to receive the final
distribution,  and are willing to pay cash now to limited  partners  who wish to
terminate their investment rather than to await this final distribution.

The Purchasers recognize that the potential benefits from change in taxation for
an  individual  limited  partner is a complex  matter,  and can be impacted by a
limited partners circumstances  unrelated to the partnership.  In fact, if units
are held in an IRA or Qualified Plan account, there will be no TAX benefits from
a sale and thus the economics of the  transaction  are materially  less for such
investors. Therefore, we have asked that the Certified Public Accounting firm of
Cates, Moore and Regalia prepare projections of the impact for a limited partner
who sells to the  Purchasers.  The  Projections  are  included  in the  Offering
Material  included with this letter as Exhibit A. The Purchasers  encourage each
limited partner to review this Offer and the  accompanying  tax projections with
their own tax counsel to be certain of the ultimate tax impact.
<PAGE>

Based upon  hypothetical  results to an average  unit holder (see Exhibit A) the
Purchasers' offer represents between a 15% and 34% discount to the present value
of the expected  distributions  and tax benefits  depending upon a taxpayers tax
bracket and using an 10% "cost of money"  assumption.  That is, if one considers
the time value of having  cash today  versus  receiving  the  benefits  from the
partnership  over the next  three  years,  then  the  Purchasers'  offer is only
between 15 to 34% less than the present value of those  benefits.  The Purchaser
believes  that  these  discounts  are  quite  small  relative  to the  risks  of
collection of MIP 2B's remaining  receivables and to the normal 35-50% discounts
accorded to most limited  partnership units traded on the secondary market.  The
reason the Purchase Offer discount can be relatively low to the present value of
the  future   distributions   lies  in  the  timing  of  the  taxation  and  the
distributions relative to the limited partnership interests in the partnership.

         In  the  final  analysis,  the  relative  benefits  of  selling  to the
         Purchasers or holding until  liquidation are very small to most limited
         partners. The average holding by limited partners of the partnership is
         fewer than 11 units!.  The amount of  expected  distributions  over the
         next three years is only $83 per unit. The difference  between the cash
         received by holding  rather than  selling  will be a  relatively  small
         dollar  amount for most  investors.  MPI believes  that most  investors
         would rather  terminate their investment in 1997 rather than waiting an
         additional three years during which time three additional years of K-1s
         or other  tax  information  will have to be  filed,  filings  which may
         result in  additional  accounting  costs for investors and thus greatly
         diminish the net benefits from their investment.

Limited  partners should bear in mind that 1997 will be the last year in which a
selling  limited  partner  will  have  to file  tax  information  regarding  the
partnership,   a  fact  which  should  result  in  significant  savings  in  tax
preparation expenses for most partners.


<PAGE>



Limited partners should also be aware that the  partnership's GP has stated that
they will consider  re-submitting a filing with the SEC requesting permission to
substantially diminish reporting to the SEC. The general partner expects that if
such permission is granted that transfer of the limited  partnership  units will
generally be prohibited following 1997.

Limited  Partners should be clear that the Purchasers are making this offer with
the  intent of making a profit on the  acquisition  of the units.  However,  the
economics  of the  investment  for the  Purchasers  are  different  than for the
existing  limited  partners  because  the  Purchasers  will not be  impacted  by
taxation until the  partnership  liquidates.  The Purchasers are buying only the
potential  to receive $83 over three years for a price of $28,  and, in spite of
not insignificant risks that the amount received will be substantially different
than $83,  is  willing  to make the offer so that it might  enjoy the  potential
profits.

The Purchasers  believe that their Offer represents an excellent  alternative to
existing  limited partners who wish to receive current benefits of approximately
$54 per unit rather than  continue to hold their  investment  for another  three
years.  (See Exhibit A, Column #2) There are other  meaningful  risks associated
with accepting the Purchasers'  Offer.  These risks are detailed on Page 1 and 2
of the Offering  materials  enclosed  herewith.  Please  review these  carefully
before making your decision.

The formal Offer to Purchase  enclosed  provides  more details on all aspects of
the Offer.

We  encourage  you to review our offer and act promptly as the Offer to Purchase
will expire on September 1, 1997, unless extended.

A transmittal letter (in blue) is also enclosed which you can use for accepting
the offer.  Please execute this document and return it in the enclosed
envelope. Please call us at (800)  854-8357 ext. 206 if you have any questions.

Respectfully submitted,
