Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned hereby acknowledges that he or she has received and reviewed
(i) the Purchaser's Offer to Purchase, dated May 19, 1999 (the "Offer Date")
relating to the offer by AIMCO Properties, L.P. (the "Purchaser") to purchase
Limited Partnership Interests (the "Units") in United Investors Income
Properties, a Missouri limited partnership (the "Partnership") and (ii) this
Letter of Transmittal and the Instructions hereto, as each may be supplemented
or amended from time to time (collectively, the "Offer").
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to
Purchase, and this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned hereby tenders to the
Purchaser the Units set forth in the box above entitled "Description of Units
Tendered," including all interests in any limited partnership represented by
such units (collectively, the "Units"), at the price of $157 per Unit, less the
amount of distributions, if any, made by the Partnership from the Offer Date
until the Expiration Date (the "Offer Price"), net to the undersigned in cash,
without interest.
Subject to and effective upon acceptance for payment of any of the Units
tendered hereby in accordance with the terms of the Offer, the undersigned
hereby irrevocably sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to, or upon
the order of, the Purchaser all right, title and interest in and to such Units
tendered hereby that are accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, including,
without limitation, (i) all of the undersigned's interest in the capital of the
Partnership, and the undersigned's interest in all profits, losses and
distributions of any kind to which the undersigned shall at any time be entitled
in respect of the Units; (ii) all other payments, if any, due or to become due
to the undersigned in respect of the Units, under or arising out of the
agreement of limited partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership
Agreement"), or any agreement pursuant to which the Units were sold (the
"Purchase Agreement"), whether as contractual obligations, damages, insurance
proceeds, condemnation awards or otherwise; (iii) all of the undersigned's
claims, rights, powers, privileges, authority, options, security interests,
liens and remedies, if any, under or arising out of the Partnership Agreement or
Purchase Agreement or the undersigned's ownership of the Units, including,
without limitation, all voting rights, rights of first offer, first refusal or
similar rights, and rights to be substituted as a limited partner of the
Partnership; and (iv) all present and future claims, if any, of the undersigned
against the Partnership, the other partners of the Partnership, or the general
partner and its affiliates, including the Purchaser, under or arising out of the
Partnership Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the undersigned's status as a
limited partner, or the terms or conditions of the Offer, for monies loaned or
advanced, for services rendered, for the management of the Partnership or
otherwise.
The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Purchaser
and any designees of the Purchaser as the true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact of the undersigned with respect to such Units, with full power
of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power
coupled with an interest), to vote or act in such manner as any such attorney
and proxy or substitute shall, in its sole discretion, deem proper with respect
to such Units, to do all such acts and things necessary or expedient to deliver
such Units and transfer ownership of such Units on the partnership books
maintained by the general partner of the Partnership, together with all
accompanying evidence of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of, the
Purchaser, to sign any and all documents necessary to authorize the transfer of
the Units to the Purchaser including, without limitation, the "Transferor's
(Seller's) Application for Transfer" created by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., if required, and upon receipt by the Information Agent
(as the undersigned's agent) of the Offer Price, to become a substitute limited
partner, to receive any and all distributions made by the Partnership from and
after the Expiration Date of the Offer (regardless of the record date for any
such distribution), and to receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all
rights of beneficial ownership of such Units, all in accordance with the terms
of the Offer. This appointment is effective upon the purchase of the Units by
the Purchaser as provided in the Offer and shall be irrevocable for a period of
ten years following the termination of the Offer. Upon the purchase of Units
pursuant to the Offer, all prior proxies and consents given by the undersigned
with respect to such Units will be revoked and no subsequent proxies or consents
may be given (and if given will not be deemed effective).
In addition to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
undersigned hereby irrevocably (i) requests and authorizes (subject to and
effective upon acceptance for payment of any Unit tendered hereby) the
Partnership and its general partners to take any and all actions as may be
required to effect the transfer of the undersigned's Units to
3
<PAGE> 4
the Purchaser (or its designee) and to admit the Purchaser as a substitute
limited partner in the Partnership under the terms of the Partnership Agreement;
(ii) empowers the Purchaser and its agent to execute and deliver to each general
partner a change of address form instructing the general partner to send any and
all future distributions to the address specified in the form, and to endorse
any check payable to or upon the order of such unitholder representing a
distribution to which the Purchaser is entitled pursuant to the terms of the
offer, in each case, in the name and on behalf of the tendering unitholder;
(iii) agrees not to exercise any rights pertaining to the Units without the
prior consent of the Purchaser; and (iv) requests and consents to the transfer
of the Units, to be effective on the books and records of the Partnership as of
May 19, 1999.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION IN A PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT OR ANY PURCHASE
AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY DIRECTS EACH GENERAL PARTNER
OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO MAKE ALL DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER THE PURCHASER ACCEPTS THE
TENDERED UNITS FOR PAYMENT TO THE PURCHASER OR ITS DESIGNEE. Subject to and
effective upon acceptance for payment of any Unit tendered hereby, the
undersigned hereby requests that the Purchaser be admitted to the Partnership as
a substitute limited partner under the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Upon
request, the undersigned will execute and deliver additional documents deemed by
the Information Agent or the Purchaser to be necessary or desirable to complete
the assignment, transfer and purchase of Units tendered hereby and will hold any
distributions received from the Partnership after the Expiration Date in trust
for the benefit of the Purchaser and, if necessary, will promptly forward to the
Purchaser any such distributions immediately upon receipt. The Purchaser
reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, from time to
time, to one or more of its affiliates, the right to purchase Units tendered
pursuant to the Offer, but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve the
Purchaser of its obligations under the Offer or prejudice the rights of
tendering unitholders to receive payment for Units validly tendered and accepted
for payment pursuant to the Offer.
By executing this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned represents that
either (i) the undersigned is not a plan subject to Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or an entity deemed
to hold "plan assets" within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 of any
such plan, or (ii) the tender and acceptance of Units pursuant to the Offer will
not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code.
The undersigned understands that a tender of Units to the Purchaser will
constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Purchaser upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. The undersigned recognizes
that under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer, the Purchaser may not
be required to accept for payment any of the Units tendered hereby. In such
event, the undersigned understands that any Letter of Transmittal for Units not
accepted for payment may be destroyed by the Purchaser (or its agent). EXCEPT AS
STATED IN THE OFFER, THIS TENDER IS IRREVOCABLE, PROVIDED THAT UNITS TENDERED
PURSUANT TO THE OFFER MAY BE WITHDRAWN AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE,
OR UNLESS ALREADY ACCEPTED FOR PAYMENT, ANY TIME AFTER July 17, 1999.
THE UNDERSIGNED HAS BEEN ADVISED THAT THE PURCHASER IS AN AFFILIATE OF THE
GENERAL PARTNER OF THE PARTNERSHIP AND NO SUCH GENERAL PARTNER MAKES ANY
RECOMMENDATION AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER OR REFRAIN FROM TENDERING UNITS IN THE
OFFER. THE UNDERSIGNED HAS MADE HIS OR HER OWN DECISION TO TENDER UNITS.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the
Partnership and the Purchaser that the undersigned owns the Units tendered
hereby and has full power and authority and has taken all necessary action to
validly tender, sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver the Units tendered
hereby and that when the same are accepted for payment by the Purchaser, the
Purchaser will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and
clear of all liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales
agreements or other obligations relating to the sale or transfer thereof, and
such Units will not be subject to any adverse claims and that the transfer and
assignment contemplated herein are in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations.
Our records indicate that the undersigned owns the number of Units set forth
in the box above entitled "Description of Units Tendered" under the column
entitled "Total Number of Units Owned." If you would like to tender only a
portion of your Units, please so indicate in the space provided in the box above
entitled "Description of Units Tendered."

All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the
death or incapacity of the undersigned, and any obligations of the undersigned
shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, trustees in
bankruptcy, legal representatives, and successors and assigns of the
undersigned.
The undersigned further represents and warrants that, to the extent a
certificate evidencing the Units tendered hereby (the "original certificate") is
not delivered by the undersigned together with this Letter of Transmittal, (i)
the undersigned represents and warrants to the Purchaser that the undersigned
has not sold, transferred, conveyed, assigned, pledged, deposited or otherwise
disposed of any portion of the Units, (ii) the undersigned has caused a diligent
search of its records to be taken and has been unable to locate the original
certificate, (iii) if the undersigned shall find or recover the original
certificate evidencing the Units, the undersigned will immediately and without
consideration surrender it to the Purchaser; and (iv) the undersigned shall at
all times indemnify, defend, and save harmless the Purchaser and the
Partnership, its successors, and its assigns from and against any and all
claims, actions, and suits whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against
any and all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs, charges, counsel
fees, and other expenses of every nature and character by reason of honoring or
refusing to honor the original certificate when presented by or on behalf of a
holder in due course of a holder appearing to or believed by the partnership to
be such, or by issuance or delivery of a replacement certificate, or the making
of any payment, delivery, or credit in respect of the original certificate
without surrender thereof, or in respect of the replacement certificate.

Signature Box of the Letter of Transmittal or if consideration is to be
sent to someone other than such signer or to an address other than that

of Units Tendered," the appropriate boxes on the Letter of Transmittal
should be completed.
5. TAX CERTIFICATIONS. The unitholder(s) tendering Units to the Purchaser
pursuant to the Offer must furnish the Purchaser with the
unitholder(s)' taxpayer identification number ("TIN") and certify as
true, under penalties of perjury, the representations in Box A, Box B
and, if applicable, Box C. By signing the Signature Box, the
unitholder(s) certifies that the TIN as printed (or corrected) on this
Letter of Transmittal in the box entitled "Description of Units
Tendered" and the representations made in Box A, Box B and, if
applicable, Box C, are correct. See attached Guidelines for
Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9
for guidance in determining the proper TIN to give the Purchaser.
U.S. PERSONS. A unitholder that is a U.S. citizen or a resident alien
individual, a domestic corporation, a domestic partnership, a domestic
trust or a domestic estate (collectively, "U.S. Persons"), as those
terms are defined in the Code, should follow the instructions below
with respect to certifying Box A and Box B.
BOX A - SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9.
Part (i), Taxpayer Identification Number -- Tendering unitholders must
certify to the Purchaser that the TIN as printed (or corrected) on this
Letter of Transmittal in the box entitled "Description of Units
Tendered" is correct. If a correct TIN is not provided, penalties may
be imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), in addition to
the unitholder being subject to backup withholding.
Part (ii), Backup Withholding -- In order to avoid 31% Federal income
tax backup withholding, the tendering unitholder must certify, under
penalty of perjury, that such unitholder is not subject to backup
withholding. Certain unitholders (including, among others, all
corporations and certain exempt non-profit organizations) are not
subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional
tax. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be
obtained from the IRS. DO NOT CHECK THE BOX IN BOX A, PART (ii), UNLESS
YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY THE IRS THAT YOU ARE SUBJECT TO BACKUP
WITHHOLDING.
When determining the TIN to be furnished, please refer to the following
as a guide:
Individual accounts - should reflect owner's TIN.
Joint accounts - should reflect the TIN of the owner whose name appears
first.
Trust accounts - should reflect the TIN assigned to the trust.
IRA custodial accounts - should reflect the TIN of the custodian (not
necessary to provide).
Custodial accounts for the benefit of minors - should reflect the TIN
of the minor.
Corporations, partnership or other business entities - should reflect
the TIN assigned to that entity.
9
<PAGE> 10
By signing the Signature Box, the unitholder(s) certifies that the TIN
as printed (or corrected) on the front of the Letter of Transmittal is
correct.
BOX B - FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT -- Section 1445 of the Code requires that each
unitholder transferring interests in a partnership with real estate
assets meeting certain criteria certify under penalty of perjury the
representations made in Box B, or be subject to withholding of tax
equal to 10% of the purchase price for interests purchased. Tax
withheld under Section 1445 of the Code is not an additional tax. If
withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a refund may be obtained
from the IRS. PART (i) SHOULD BE CHECKED ONLY IF THE TENDERING
UNITHOLDER IS NOT A U.S. PERSON, AS DESCRIBED THEREIN.
BOX C - FOREIGN PERSONS -- In order for a tendering unitholder who is a
Foreign Person (i.e., not a U.S. Person, as defined above) to qualify
as exempt from 31% backup withholding, such foreign Unitholder must
certify, under penalties of perjury, the statement in Box C of this
Letter of Transmittal, attesting to that Foreign Person's status by
checking the box preceding such statement. UNLESS THE BOX IS CHECKED,
SUCH UNITHOLDER WILL BE SUBJECT TO 31% WITHHOLDING OF TAX.
6. VALIDITY OF LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. All questions as to the validity,
form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of a
Letter of Transmittal and other required documents will be determined
by the Purchaser and such determination will be final and binding. The
Purchaser's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer
(including these Instructions for this Letter of Transmittal) will be
final and binding. The Purchaser will have the right to waive any
irregularities or conditions as to the manner of tendering. Any
irregularities in connection with tenders, unless waived, must be cured
within such time as the Purchaser shall determine. This Letter of
Transmittal will not be valid until any irregularities have been cured
or waived. Neither the Purchaser nor the Information Agent are under
any duty to give notification of defects in a Letter of Transmittal and
will incur no liability for failure to give such notification.
7. ASSIGNEE STATUS. Assignees must provide documentation to the
Information Agent which demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the
Purchaser, such person's status as an assignee.
8. TRANSFER TAXES. The amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on
the registered holder or such person) payable on account of the
transfer to such person will be deducted from the purchase price unless
satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or exemption
therefrom is submitted.
9. MINIMUM TENDERS. A unitholder may tender any or all of his, her or its
Units.
10. CONDITIONAL TENDERS. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders
will be accepted.

you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no

fines and/or imprisonment.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned hereby acknowledges that he or she has received and reviewed
(i) the Purchaser's Offer to Purchase, dated May 19, 1999 (the "Offer Date")
relating to the offer by AIMCO Properties, L.P. (the "Purchaser") to purchase
Limited Partnership Interests (the "Units") in United Investors Income
Properties, a Missouri limited partnership (the "Partnership") and (ii) this
Letter of Transmittal and the Instructions hereto, as each may be supplemented
or amended from time to time (collectively, the "Offer").
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to
Purchase, and this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned hereby tenders to the
Purchaser the Units set forth in the box above entitled "Description of Units
Tendered," including all interests in any limited partnership represented by
such units (collectively, the "Units"), at the price of $157 per Unit, less the
amount of distributions, if any, made by the Partnership from the Offer Date
until the Expiration Date (the "Offer Price"), net to the undersigned in cash,
without interest.
Subject to and effective upon acceptance for payment of any of the Units
tendered hereby in accordance with the terms of the Offer, the undersigned
hereby irrevocably sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to, or upon
the order of, the Purchaser all right, title and interest in and to such Units
tendered hereby that are accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, including,
without limitation, (i) all of the undersigned's interest in the capital of the
Partnership, and the undersigned's interest in all profits, losses and
distributions of any kind to which the undersigned shall at any time be entitled
in respect of the Units; (ii) all other payments, if any, due or to become due
to the undersigned in respect of the Units, under or arising out of the
agreement of limited partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership
Agreement"), or any agreement pursuant to which the Units were sold (the
"Purchase Agreement"), whether as contractual obligations, damages, insurance
proceeds, condemnation awards or otherwise; (iii) all of the undersigned's
claims, rights, powers, privileges, authority, options, security interests,
liens and remedies, if any, under or arising out of the Partnership Agreement or
Purchase Agreement or the undersigned's ownership of the Units, including,
without limitation, all voting rights, rights of first offer, first refusal or
similar rights, and rights to be substituted as a limited partner of the
Partnership; and (iv) all present and future claims, if any, of the undersigned
against the Partnership, the other partners of the Partnership, or the general
partner and its affiliates, including the Purchaser, under or arising out of the
Partnership Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the undersigned's status as a
limited partner, or the terms or conditions of the Offer, for monies loaned or
advanced, for services rendered, for the management of the Partnership or
otherwise.
The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Purchaser
and any designees of the Purchaser as the true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact of the undersigned with respect to such Units, with full power
of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power
coupled with an interest), to vote or act in such manner as any such attorney
and proxy or substitute shall, in its sole discretion, deem proper with respect
to such Units, to do all such acts and things necessary or expedient to deliver
such Units and transfer ownership of such Units on the partnership books
maintained by the general partner of the Partnership, together with all
accompanying evidence of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of, the
Purchaser, to sign any and all documents necessary to authorize the transfer of
the Units to the Purchaser including, without limitation, the "Transferor's
(Seller's) Application for Transfer" created by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., if required, and upon receipt by the Information Agent
(as the undersigned's agent) of the Offer Price, to become a substitute limited
partner, to receive any and all distributions made by the Partnership from and
after the Expiration Date of the Offer (regardless of the record date for any
such distribution), and to receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all
rights of beneficial ownership of such Units, all in accordance with the terms
of the Offer. This appointment is effective upon the purchase of the Units by
the Purchaser as provided in the Offer and shall be irrevocable for a period of
ten years following the termination of the Offer. Upon the purchase of Units
pursuant to the Offer, all prior proxies and consents given by the undersigned
with respect to such Units will be revoked and no subsequent proxies or consents
may be given (and if given will not be deemed effective).
In addition to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
undersigned hereby irrevocably (i) requests and authorizes (subject to and
effective upon acceptance for payment of any Unit tendered hereby) the
Partnership and its general partners to take any and all actions as may be
required to effect the transfer of the undersigned's Units to
3
<PAGE> 4
the Purchaser (or its designee) and to admit the Purchaser as a substitute
limited partner in the Partnership under the terms of the Partnership Agreement;
(ii) empowers the Purchaser and its agent to execute and deliver to each general
partner a change of address form instructing the general partner to send any and
all future distributions to the address specified in the form, and to endorse
any check payable to or upon the order of such unitholder representing a
distribution to which the Purchaser is entitled pursuant to the terms of the
offer, in each case, in the name and on behalf of the tendering unitholder;
(iii) agrees not to exercise any rights pertaining to the Units without the
prior consent of the Purchaser; and (iv) requests and consents to the transfer
of the Units, to be effective on the books and records of the Partnership as of
May 19, 1999.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION IN A PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT OR ANY PURCHASE
AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY DIRECTS EACH GENERAL PARTNER
OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO MAKE ALL DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER THE PURCHASER ACCEPTS THE
TENDERED UNITS FOR PAYMENT TO THE PURCHASER OR ITS DESIGNEE. Subject to and
effective upon acceptance for payment of any Unit tendered hereby, the
undersigned hereby requests that the Purchaser be admitted to the Partnership as
a substitute limited partner under the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Upon
request, the undersigned will execute and deliver additional documents deemed by
the Information Agent or the Purchaser to be necessary or desirable to complete
the assignment, transfer and purchase of Units tendered hereby and will hold any
distributions received from the Partnership after the Expiration Date in trust
for the benefit of the Purchaser and, if necessary, will promptly forward to the
Purchaser any such distributions immediately upon receipt. The Purchaser
reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, from time to
time, to one or more of its affiliates, the right to purchase Units tendered
pursuant to the Offer, but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve the
Purchaser of its obligations under the Offer or prejudice the rights of
tendering unitholders to receive payment for Units validly tendered and accepted
for payment pursuant to the Offer.

of Units Tendered," the appropriate boxes on the Letter of Transmittal
should be completed.
5. TAX CERTIFICATIONS. The unitholder(s) tendering Units to the Purchaser
pursuant to the Offer must furnish the Purchaser with the
unitholder(s)' taxpayer identification number ("TIN") and certify as
true, under penalties of perjury, the representations in Box A, Box B
and, if applicable, Box C. By signing the Signature Box, the
unitholder(s) certifies that the TIN as printed (or corrected) on this
Letter of Transmittal in the box entitled "Description of Units
Tendered" and the representations made in Box A, Box B and, if
applicable, Box C, are correct. See attached Guidelines for
Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9
for guidance in determining the proper TIN to give the Purchaser.
U.S. PERSONS. A unitholder that is a U.S. citizen or a resident alien
individual, a domestic corporation, a domestic partnership, a domestic
trust or a domestic estate (collectively, "U.S. Persons"), as those
terms are defined in the Code, should follow the instructions below
with respect to certifying Box A and Box B.
BOX A - SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9.
Part (i), Taxpayer Identification Number -- Tendering unitholders must
certify to the Purchaser that the TIN as printed (or corrected) on this
Letter of Transmittal in the box entitled "Description of Units
Tendered" is correct. If a correct TIN is not provided, penalties may
be imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), in addition to
the unitholder being subject to backup withholding.
Part (ii), Backup Withholding -- In order to avoid 31% Federal income
tax backup withholding, the tendering unitholder must certify, under
penalty of perjury, that such unitholder is not subject to backup
withholding. Certain unitholders (including, among others, all
corporations and certain exempt non-profit organizations) are not
subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional
tax. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be
obtained from the IRS. DO NOT CHECK THE BOX IN BOX A, PART (ii), UNLESS
YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY THE IRS THAT YOU ARE SUBJECT TO BACKUP
WITHHOLDING.
When determining the TIN to be furnished, please refer to the following
as a guide:
Individual accounts - should reflect owner's TIN.
Joint accounts - should reflect the TIN of the owner whose name appears
first.
Trust accounts - should reflect the TIN assigned to the trust.
IRA custodial accounts - should reflect the TIN of the custodian (not
necessary to provide).
Custodial accounts for the benefit of minors - should reflect the TIN
of the minor.
Corporations, partnership or other business entities - should reflect
the TIN assigned to that entity.
9
<PAGE> 10
By signing the Signature Box, the unitholder(s) certifies that the TIN
as printed (or corrected) on the front of the Letter of Transmittal is
correct.
BOX B - FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT -- Section 1445 of the Code requires that each
unitholder transferring interests in a partnership with real estate
assets meeting certain criteria certify under penalty of perjury the
representations made in Box B, or be subject to withholding of tax
equal to 10% of the purchase price for interests purchased. Tax
withheld under Section 1445 of the Code is not an additional tax. If
withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a refund may be obtained
from the IRS. PART (i) SHOULD BE CHECKED ONLY IF THE TENDERING
UNITHOLDER IS NOT A U.S. PERSON, AS DESCRIBED THEREIN.
BOX C - FOREIGN PERSONS -- In order for a tendering unitholder who is a
Foreign Person (i.e., not a U.S. Person, as defined above) to qualify
as exempt from 31% backup withholding, such foreign Unitholder must
certify, under penalties of perjury, the statement in Box C of this
Letter of Transmittal, attesting to that Foreign Person's status by
checking the box preceding such statement. UNLESS THE BOX IS CHECKED,
SUCH UNITHOLDER WILL BE SUBJECT TO 31% WITHHOLDING OF TAX.
6. VALIDITY OF LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. All questions as to the validity,
form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of a
Letter of Transmittal and other required documents will be determined
by the Purchaser and such determination will be final and binding. The
Purchaser's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer
(including these Instructions for this Letter of Transmittal) will be
final and binding. The Purchaser will have the right to waive any
irregularities or conditions as to the manner of tendering. Any
irregularities in connection with tenders, unless waived, must be cured
within such time as the Purchaser shall determine. This Letter of
Transmittal will not be valid until any irregularities have been cured
or waived. Neither the Purchaser nor the Information Agent are under
any duty to give notification of defects in a Letter of Transmittal and
will incur no liability for failure to give such notification.
7. ASSIGNEE STATUS. Assignees must provide documentation to the
Information Agent which demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the
Purchaser, such person's status as an assignee.
8. TRANSFER TAXES. The amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on
the registered holder or such person) payable on account of the
transfer to such person will be deducted from the purchase price unless
satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or exemption
therefrom is submitted.
9. MINIMUM TENDERS. A unitholder may tender any or all of his, her or its
Units.
10. CONDITIONAL TENDERS. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders
will be accepted.

you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no

Dear Unitholder:
We are offering to acquire up to 27,055.18 units in your partnership,
United Investors Income Properties. Our offer presents you with the following
two options, which you are free to accept or reject in any combination you like:
1. You may tender each of your units in exchange for $157 in
cash, in which case you may recognize a gain or loss for federal income
tax purposes.
2. You may retain any or all of your units. If you choose to
retain any or all of your units, your rights as a holder of units will
remain unchanged. You will continue to participate in gains and losses
of your partnership(s), and you will receive distributions, if any,
payable in respect of your units.
If more units are tendered than we are offering to acquire, we will
prorate the purchase so that the same approximate percentage of units tendered
by each partner will be purchased. We are offering to acquire any and all
outstanding units in your partnership. Our offer is not subject to any minimum
number of units being tendered. YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY ANY COMMISSIONS
OR FEES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPOSITION OF YOUR UNITS PURSUANT TO OUR OFFER.
Our offer price will be reduced for any distributions subsequently made by your
partnership prior to the expiration of our offer.
There are advantages and disadvantages to you of accepting or declining
our offer. The terms of the offer are more fully described in the enclosed
materials. These documents describe the material risks and opportunities
associated with the offer, including certain tax considerations. Please review
these documents carefully. The general partner of your partnership, which is
owned by us, has substantial conflicts of interest with respect to the offer.
Accordingly, the general partner of your partnership makes no recommendation to
you as to whether you should tender or refrain from tendering your units in the
offer.
If you desire to tender any of your units in response to our offer, you
should complete and sign the enclosed letter of transmittal in accordance with
the enclosed instructions and mail or deliver the signed letter of transmittal
and any other required documents to River Oaks Partnership Services, Inc., which
is acting as the Information Agent in connection with our offer, at the address
set forth on the back cover of the enclosed Offer to Purchase. The offer will
expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on June 29, 1999, unless extended. If you
have questions or require further information, please call the Information
