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

               (1)  Liquidity

                     As  of  June  30, 1998, Registrant  had  cash  of
$31,675.   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  June 30, 1998, Registrant had  restricted
cash  of  $295,822  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.

                     In  recent  years  the  Registrant  has  realized
significant losses, including the foreclosure of two properties and  a
substantial reduction of interest in a third property.  At the present
time,  all  remaining  properties are  able  to  pay  their  operating
expenses  and  debt service including two of the six properties  where
the  mortgages  are  basically "cash-flow"  mortgages,  requiring  all
available cash after payment of operating expenses to be paid  to  the
first mortgage holder.  None of the properties are currently producing
a material amount of revenues in excess of operating expenses and debt
service.  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  second quarter of  1998,  Registrant
incurred a net loss of $361,991 ($14.08 per limited partnership  unit)
compared  to  a  net loss of $385,011 ($14.97 per limited  partnership
unit)  for the same period in 1997.  For the first six months of 1998,
the  Registrant  incurred a net loss of $838,697 ($32.61  per  limited
partnership  unit)  compared to a net loss of $1,536,028  ($59.73  per
limited partnership unit) for the same period in 1997.

                     Rental income increased $25,660 from $555,496  in
the  second  quarter of 1997 to $581,156 in the same period  in  1998.
The  increase  in the second quarter of 1998 from the same  period  in
1997  is  due  mainly to increases at Canal House, Roseland,  Strehlow
Terrace and Mater Dolorosa.

                    Rental income decreased $56,667 from $1,209,738 in
the first six months of 1997 to $1,153,071 in the same period in 1998.
The  decrease from the first six months of 1997 to the same period  in
1998  is due mainly to the foreclosure of Locke Mill partially  offset
by  increases  at  Canal  House,  Firehouse  Square,  Roseland,  Mater
Dolorosa and Strehlow Terrace.

                     Other income decreased $205,643 from $205,643  in
the  first  six months of 1997 to $0 in the same period in 1998.   The
decrease from the first six months of 1997 to the same period in  1998
is  due  to  the  sale of the interest in Strehlow Terrace  Apartments
Limited  Partnership, as referred to in the Form  10-K  for  the  year
ended December 31, 1997.

                      Expenses  for  rental  operations  increased  by
$49,592 from $179,559 in the second quarter of 1997 to $229,151 in the
same period in 1998 and increased $820 from $575,015 in the first  six
months  of 1997 to $575,846 in the same period in 1998.  The  increase
is  mainly  the result of an increase in maintenance expense  at  both
Mater  Dolorosa  and  Strehlow Terrace and an increase  in  wages  and
salary  expense at Mater Dolorosa partially offset by the  foreclosure
of   Locke  Mill.   At  both  Mater  Dolorosa  and  Strehlow  Terrace,
maintenance expense increased due to deferred maintenance performed at
the  property  in the first six months of 1998 and at Mater  Dolorosa,
wages and salaries expense increased due to cost of living adjustments
given to the employees.

                     Depreciation  and amortization expense  decreased
$2,798 from $291,878 in the second quarter of 1997 to $289,080 in  the
same  period in 1998 and decreased $66,627 from $644,788 in the  first
six  months  of  1997  to $578,161 in the same period  in  1998.   The
decreases  are  due  to the foreclosure of Locke  Mill  combined  with
decreases at Canal House and Roseland partially offset by an  increase
in amortization expense at Firehouse Square due to the amortization of
leasing commissions incurred during 1997.

                      Interest  expense  decreased  by  $40,444   from
$403,415 in the second quarter of 1997 to $362,971 in the same  period
in  1998 and decreased $118,417 from $831,279 in the first six  months
of  1997 to $712,862 for  the same period in 1998.  The decrease  from
second quarter and the first six months of 1997 to the same periods of
1998  is  mainly due to the foreclosure of Locke Mill  in  March  1997
partially offset by an increase at Firehouse Square due to an increase
in the principal balance upon interest is calculated.

                      Losses  incurred  during  the  quarter  at   the
Registrant's properties amounted to $283,000, compared to  a  loss  of
approximately $326,000 for the same period in 1997.  For the first six
months  of  1998  the  Registrant's properties recognized  a  loss  of
$680,000  compared to approximately $1,549,000 for the same period  in
1997.   Included  in  the loss for the first six  months  of  1997  is
$770,000  of extraordinary loss relating to the foreclosure  of  Locke
Mill.

                    In the second quarter of 1998, Registrant incurred
a  loss  of  $0 at Locke Mill, compared to a loss of $0 in the  second
quarter of 1997, and for the first six months of 1998, incurred a loss
of  $0  compared  to a loss of $852,000 for the same period  in  1997,
including $63,000 of depreciation expense.  Included in the  loss  for
the  first  six  months  of  1997 is $770,000  of  extraordinary  loss
relating  to  the foreclosure of the property.  The loss  without  the
effect of the foreclosure for the first six months of 1997 would  have
been  $82,000.   The change in the loss from the first six  months  of
1997  to  the  same  period in 1998 is due to the foreclosure  of  the
property on March 31, 1997.

                    In the second quarter of 1998, Registrant incurred
a  loss  of  $15,000  at  Roseland including $16,000  of  depreciation
expense,   compared  to  a  loss  of  $19,000  including  $18,000   of
depreciation in the second quarter of 1997; for the first  six  months
of  1998, the Registrant incurred a loss of $26,000 including  $34,000
of  depreciation expense, compared to a loss of $36,000 for  the  same
period  in  1997,  including  $36,000 of  depreciation  expense.   The
decreased  loss from the second quarter and the first  six  months  of
1997  to  the  same periods in 1998 is mainly due to  an  increase  in
rental  income due to an increase in the average rental  rates  and  a
decrease in depreciation expense due to the fact that certain personal
property was fully depreciated in the third quarter of 1997.

                    In the second quarter of 1998, Registrant incurred
a   loss   of  $149,000  at  Firehouse  House  including  $71,000   of
depreciation and amortization expense, compared to a loss of  $147,000
including  $65,000  of depreciation and amortization  expense  in  the
first  quarter  of  1997.  The increase in the loss  from  the  second
quarter  of  1997 to the same period in 1998 is due to an increase  in
amortization expense partially offset by a decrease in real estate tax
expense  due  to  a  decrease in the assessed value of  the  property.
Amortization  expense  increased due to the  amortization  of  leasing
commissions incurred during 1997.

                     For  the first six months of 1998, the Registrant
incurred a loss of $285,000 at Firehouse Square including $141,000  of
depreciation and amortization expense, compared to a loss of  $281,000
for  the  same period in 1997, including $128,000 of depreciation  and
amortization  expense.  The increase in the loss from  the  first  six
months  of  1997 to the same period in 1998 is due to an  increase  in
interest  and amortization expense partially offset by an increase  in
rental  income  due  to  an  increase in  the  average  rental  rates.
Interest expense increased due to an increase in the average principal
balance  of  the loan upon which interest is calculated.  Amortization
expense  increased  due  to the amortization  of  leasing  commissions
incurred during 1997.

                    In the second quarter of 1998, Registrant incurred
a  loss  of $5,000 at Mater Dolorosa including $31,000 of depreciation
and  amortization  expense,  compared to income  of  $6,000  including
$32,000 of depreciation and amortization expense in the second quarter
of 1997, and for the first six months of 1998, the Registrant incurred
a  loss of $19,000 at Mater Dolorosa including $63,000 of depreciation
and  amortization expense, compared to a loss of $1,000 for  the  same
period  in  1997,  including $64,000 of depreciation and  amortization
expense.   The  increase in the loss from the second quarter  and  the
first  six  months of 1997 to the same periods in 1998 is  due  to  an
increase  in  maintenance  and wages and  salaries  expense  partially
offset  by  an  increase in rental income due to an  increase  in  the
average  rental rates.  Maintenance expense increased due to  deferred
maintenance performed at the property in the first six months of  1998
and  wages  and  salaries expense increased  due  to  cost  of  living
adjustments given to the employees.

                    In the second quarter of 1998, Registrant incurred
a   loss   of  $58,000  at  Strehlow  Terrace  including  $58,000   of
depreciation expense, compared to a loss of $51,000 including  $57,000
of  depreciation expense in the second quarter of 1997  and,  for  the
first  six months of 1998, the Registrant incurred a loss of  $112,000
including  $116,000 of depreciation expense, compared  to  a  loss  of
$108,000   for  the  same  period  in  1997,  including  $114,000   of
depreciation and amortization expense.  The increase in the loss  from
the  second  quarter  and the first six months of  1997  to  the  same
periods  in 1998 is due to an increase in maintenance expense  due  to
deferred  maintenance  performed in  the  first  six  months  of  1998
partially offset by an increase in rental income due to an increase in
the average rental rates.

                    In the second quarter of 1998, Registrant incurred
a loss of $53,000 at Canal House including $93,000 of depreciation and
amortization  expense,  compared  to  a  loss  of  $107,000  including
$101,000  of depreciation expense in the second quarter of  1997  and,
for  the  first six months of 1998, the Registrant incurred a loss  of
$232,000  including $186,000 of depreciation and amortization expense,
compared  to  a  loss $259,000 for the same period in 1997,  including
$202,000 of depreciation expense.  The decrease in the losses from the
second quarter and the first six months of 1997 to the same periods in
1998  is  due to an increase in rental income combined with a decrease
in  amortization expense.  Rental income increased due to an  increase
in  average occupancy (88% to 96%) for the second quarter and (89%  to
96%)  for  the first six months and an increase in the average  rental
rates.   Amortization expense decreased due to the fact  that  certain
leasing  commissions became fully amortized in the  third  quarter  of
1997.

                    In the second quarter of 1998, Registrant incurred
a  loss  of $3,000 at Saunders Apartments compared to a loss of $8,000
in  the second quarter of 1997.  For the first six months of 1998, the
Registrant  incurred a loss of $6,000 at Saunders Apartments  compared
to  a  loss  $12,000  for  the same period in  1997.   The  Registrant
accounts for this investment on the equity method and the decrease  in
the  loss  is due to an overall increase in rental income  due  to  an
increase in the average rental rates.
