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

               (1)  Liquidity

                     As  of  March 31, 1997, Registrant  had  cash  of
$50,981.   Such  funds are expected to be used to pay liabilities  and
general  and administrative expenses of Registrant, and to  fund  cash
deficits  of the properties.  Cash generated from operations  is  used
primarily  to fund operating expenses and debt service.  If cash  flow
proves  to  be insufficient, the Registrant will attempt to  negotiate
loan modifications with the various lenders in order to remain current
on  all  obligations.  The Registrant is not aware of  any  additional
sources of liquidity.

                     As  of  March 31, 1997, Registrant had restricted
cash  of  $278,231  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.

                     A  property owned by Strehlow Terrace  Apartments
Limited  Partnership  ("STALP"), a limited partnership  in  which  the
Registrant owns a 98% interest, has historically been unable, from its
own revenues, to meet its operating expenses and required debt service
payments,  the  Developer/Operating General Partner has  provided  the
necessary funds.  Through 1992, these funds were provided pursuant  to
legal  obligations.  Thereafter, the Registrant was  able  to  prevail
upon the Developer to continue such funding on a voluntary basis.   In
1996, the Developer reported that it was no longer able nor willing to
make such advances.  To avoid loss of STALP's property, either through
foreclosure or a forced sale at depressed values, in January 1997  the
Registrant   sold  approximately  20%  of  its  interest   in   STALP.
Simultaneously with the sale, the Partnership Agreement was amended to
allocate Low Income Housing Tax Credits in the amount of $587,549 over
the next four years to the purchaser.  The proceeds from the sale were
sufficient to satisfy outstanding obligations and should enable  STALP
to continue to operate in the foreseeable future.

                     On  March  14,  1997,  one  of  the  Registrant's
properties,  held  by  Locke Mill Partners ("LMP"),  was  declared  in
default  on its first mortgage for failure to make the minimum monthly
payment.   On  March  31,  1997, a settlement  agreement  was  reached
whereby  the Registrant agreed to relinquish its partnership interests
in LMP in satisfaction of the mortgage.

                     In  recent  years  the  Registrant  has  realized
significant  losses, including the foreclosure of two properties.   At
the  present  time,  all remaining properties are able  to  pay  their
operating  expenses  and debt service; however,  at  two  of  the  six
properties,   the  mortgages  are  basically  "cash-flow"   mortgages,
requiring all available cash after payment of operating expenses to be
paid to the first mortgage holder.  Therefore, it is unlikely that any
cash  will  be  available to the Registrant to  pay  its  general  and
administrative expenses.

                     It  is the Registrant's intention to continue  to
hold  the  properties until they can no longer meet the  debt  service
requirements and the properties are foreclosed, or the market value of
the  properties increases to a point where they can be sold at a price
which  is  sufficient to repay the underlying indebtedness  (principal
plus accrued interest).

               (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  or
replacement reserves, if any.  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  1997,  Registrant
incurred  a  net  loss  of $1,151,017 ($44.76 per limited  partnership
unit)  compared  to  a  net  loss  of  $664,716  ($25.85  per  limited
partnership unit) for the same period in 1995.  Included in the  first
quarter of 1997 loss is $769,620 of extraordinary loss relating to the
foreclosure of Locke Mill.

                     Rental  income decreased $9,413 from $663,655  in
the first quarter of 1996 to $654,242 in the same period in 1997.  The
decrease in the first quarter of 1997 from the same period in 1996  is
due to a decrease at Strehlow Terrace partially offset by increases in
rental  income  at  Locke  Mill, Canal House,  and  Firehouse  Square.
Rental  income decreased at Strehlow Terrace due to a rental  increase
received in 1996 from the Omaha Housing Authority retroactive  to  the
years 1989-1994.  The increases at Locke Mill and Canal House were due
to  increases  in the average occupancy (89% to 91% and 93%  to  98%),
respectively,  and  an  increase in the  average  rental  rates.   The
increase  at  Firehouse Square was due to an increase in  the  average
occupancy (64% to 81%).

                Other  income increase $205,643 from $0 in  the  first
quarter  of 1996 to $205,643 in the same period in 1997.  The increase
from  the first quarter of 1996 to the same period in 1997 is  due  to
the  sale  of  the  interest  in Strehlow Terrace  Apartments  Limited
Partnership, as referred to above.

                      Expenses  for  rental  operations  decreased  by
$117,209 from $512,676 in the first quarter of 1996 to $395,467 in the
same  period in 1997.  The decrease is mainly the result of legal fees
incurred in 1996 in connection with the restructuring of the  debt  at
Canal  House  partially offset by an increase in condominium  fees  at
Locke  Mill  due  to a special assessment charged by  the  condominium
association  for capital improvements to the building and an  increase
in bad debt expense resulting from the write-off of tenant receivables
that were deemed uncollectible at Mater Dolorosa.

                     Depreciation  and amortization expense  increased
$8,863  from $344,047 in the first quarter of 1996 to $352,910 in  the
same  period  in  1997.   The  increase  is  due  to  an  increase  in
amortization  expense at Canal House due to the amortization  of  loan
fees incurred in the refinancing of the property.

                      Interest  expense  increased  by  $21,288   from
$406,576  in the first quarter of 1996 to $427,864 in the same  period
in  1997.  The increase is due to an increase in the principal balance
of  the note at Canal House and an increase in the prime lending  rate
upon which interest is accrued at Firehouse Square.

                      Losses  incurred  during  the  quarter  at   the
Registrant's properties amounted to $1,236,000 compared to a  loss  of
approximately $580,000 for the same period in 1996.

                     In the first quarter of 1997, Registrant incurred
a   loss  of  $852,000  at  Locke  Mill  Plaza  including  $63,000  of
depreciation and amortization expense, compared to a loss of  $119,000
in  the  first quarter of 1996, including $59,000 of depreciation  and
amortization  expense.   The first quarter of 1997  loss  without  the
effect  of  the  foreclosure would have been $118,000.  The  decreased
loss from the first quarter of 1996 to the same quarter of 1997 is the
result  of  an  increase in rental income due an increase  in  average
occupancy  (89%  to 91%) and an increase in the average  rental  rates
partially  offset by an increase in condominium fees due to a  special
assessment   charged  by  the  condominium  association  for   capital
improvements to the building.

                     In  both  the  first quarters of 1997  and  1996,
Registrant incurred a loss of $17,000 at Roseland including $18,000 of
depreciation.  Since Roseland is a low income housing property,  rents
are  fixed  in  relation to specified income  levels.   As  a  result,
similar  to  Mater Dolorosa and Strehlow Terrace discussed below,  the
property  experiences high occupancy but rental income  and  operating
expenses do not vary significantly.

                     In the first quarter of 1997, Registrant incurred
a   loss   of  $134,000  at  Firehouse  House  including  $63,000   of
depreciation and amortization expense, compared to a loss of  $147,000
including  $64,000  of depreciation and amortization  expense  in  the
first  quarter  of  1996.  The decrease in the  loss  from  the  first
quarter  of  1996 to the same period in 1997 is due to an increase  in
rental  income  partially offset by an increase in  interest  expense.
Rental  income  increased due to an increase in the average  occupancy
(64%  to  81%) while interest expense increased due to an increase  in
the prime lending rate upon which interest is accrued.

                     In the first quarter of 1997, Registrant incurred
a  loss of $24,000 at Mater Dolorosa including $32,000 of depreciation
and  amortization  expense, compared to a income of  $2,000  including
$32,000  of depreciation and amortization expense in the first quarter
of  1995.  The increase in the loss from the first quarter of 1996  to
the  same  period  in 1997 is due to an increase in bad  debt  expense
resulting  from the write-off of tenant receivables that  were  deemed
uncollectible.

                     In the first quarter of 1997, Registrant incurred
a   loss   of  $57,000  at  Strehlow  Terrace  including  $57,000   of
depreciation expense, compared to a loss of $14,000 including  $57,000
of depreciation expense in the first quarter of 1996.  The increase in
the loss from the first quarter of 1996 to the same period in 1997  is
due to a decrease in rental income.  Rental income decreased due to  a
lump  sum payment of rental increases received from the Omaha  Housing
Authority  retroactive to the years 1989-1994 in the first quarter  of
1996.

                     In the first quarter of 1997, Registrant incurred
a  loss  of $152,000 at Canal House including $101,000 of depreciation
and  amortization  expense, compared to a loss of  $285,000  including
$91,000  of depreciation and amortization expense in the first quarter
of  1996.  The decrease in the loss from the first quarter of 1996  to
the  same  period  in  1997  is due to an increase  in  rental  income
combined with a decrease in legal fees partially offset by an increase
in  interest and amortization expense.  Rental income increased due to
an  increase in average occupancy (93% to 98%) and an increase in  the
average  rental rates.  Legal fees decreased due to fees  incurred  in
connection with the restructuring of the debt in the first quarter  of
1996.   Interest  expense increased due to a higher principal  balance
upon which interest is accrued and amortization expense increased  due
to  the  amortization of loan fees incurred in the refinancing of  the
property.

                      The  Registrant  owns  a  minority  interest  in
Saunders  Apartments which it accounts for on the equity method.   The
Registrant  does  not  include the assets or liabilities  of  Saunders
Apartments  in  its consolidated financial statements.  The  following
information  is  provided for the property.  In the first  quarter  of
1997,  Registrant  incurred a loss of $4,000  at  Saunders  Apartments
compared  to a loss of $5,000 in the first quarter 1996.  The decrease
in  the loss is due to an increase in rental income due to an increase
in the average rental rates.
