                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                
                       SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
                                
                           (Unaudited)
                                

(1)  The  condensed  statements included herein have been  prepared
     by  the Partnership, without audit, pursuant to the rules  and
     regulations  of  the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  and
     reflect   all  adjustments  which  are,  in  the  opinion   of
     management,  necessary to a fair statement of the  results  of
     operations for the interim period, on a basis consistent  with
     the  annual audited statements.  The adjustments made to these
     condensed   statements  consist  only  of   normal   recurring
     adjustments.   Certain information, accounting  policies,  and
     footnote    disclosures   normally   included   in   financial
     statements  prepared  in  accordance with  generally  accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted  pursuant
     to  such  rules  and  regulations,  although  the  Partnership
     believes  that  the  disclosures  are  adequate  to  make  the
     information  presented not misleading.  It is  suggested  that
     these  condensed financial statements be read  in  conjunction
     with  the  financial statements and the summary of significant
     accounting  policies  and  notes  thereto  included   in   the
     Partnership's latest annual report on Form 10-KSB.
 
(2)  Organization -

     AEI Real Estate Fund XVIII Limited Partnership (Partnership)
     was  formed  to  acquire and lease commercial properties  to
     operating tenants.  The Partnership's operations are managed
     by  AEI  Fund  Management XVIII, Inc.  (AFM),  the  Managing
     General Partner of the Partnership.  Robert P. Johnson,  the
     President  and  sole  shareholder  of  AFM,  serves  as  the
     Individual General Partner of the Partnership.  An affiliate
     of   AFM,   AEI   Fund   Management,  Inc.,   performs   the
     administrative and operating functions for the Partnership.
     
     The   terms   of  the  Partnership  offering  call   for   a
     subscription  price of $1,000 per Limited Partnership  Unit,
     payable   on  acceptance  of  the  offer.   The  Partnership
     commenced  operations  on February  15,  1989  when  minimum
     subscriptions    of   1,500   Limited   Partnership    Units
     ($1,500,000)  were  accepted.   The  Partnership's  offering
     terminated  December  4,  1990 when  the  extended  offering
     period expired.  The Partnership received subscriptions  for
     22,783.05 Limited Partnership Units ($22,783,050).
     
     Under  the  terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement,  the
     Limited  Partners and General Partners contributed funds  of
     $22,783,050, and $1,000, respectively.  During the operation
     of the Partnership, any Net Cash Flow, as defined, which the
     General Partners determine to distribute will be distributed
     90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners;
     provided,  however, that such distributions to  the  General
     Partners will be subordinated to the Limited Partners  first
     receiving an annual, noncumulative distribution of Net  Cash
     Flow equal to 10% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution, as
     defined,  and, provided further, that in no event  will  the
     General Partners receive less than 1% of such Net Cash  Flow
     per  annum.  Distributions to Limited Partners will be  made
     pro rata by Units.

(2)  Organization - (Continued)

     Any  Net  Proceeds  of Sale, as defined, from  the  sale  or
     financing of the Partnership's properties which the  General
     Partners determine to distribute will, after provisions  for
     debts  and  reserves, be paid in the following  manner:  (i)
     first,  99%  to the Limited Partners and 1% to  the  General
     Partners until the Limited Partners receive an amount  equal
     to:  (a)  their Adjusted Capital Contribution  plus  (b)  an
     amount  equal  to 6% of their Adjusted Capital  Contribution
     per  annum, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not
     previously distributed from Net Cash Flow; (ii) next, 99% to
     the  Limited  Partners and 1% to the General Partners  until
     the Limited Partners receive an amount equal to 14% of their
     Adjusted Capital Contribution per annum, cumulative but  not
     compounded, to the extent not previously distributed;  (iii)
     next, to the General Partners until cumulative distributions
     to the General Partners under Items (ii) and (iii) equal 15%
     of cumulative distributions to all Partners under Items (ii)
     and (iii).  Any remaining balance will be distributed 85% to
     the  Limited  Partners  and  15% to  the  General  Partners.
     Distributions to the Limited Partners will be made pro  rata
     by Units.
     
     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
     balance in the Limited Partners' capital accounts equals the
     sum  of the Limited Partners' Adjusted Capital Contributions
     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
     Partners equal 15% of cumulative allocations.  Any remaining
     balance  will  be allocated 85% to the Limited Partners  and
     15%  to the General Partners.  Losses will be allocated  98%
     to the Limited Partners and 2% to the General Partners.
     
     The  General Partners are not required to currently  fund  a
     deficit   capital   balance.   Upon   liquidation   of   the
     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.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate -

     In  1995,  the  Partnership elected early  adoption  of  the
     Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards   No.   121,
     "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
     Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."  This standard requires the
     Partnership to compare the carrying amount of its properties
     to  the estimated future cash flows expected to result  from
     the  property and its eventual disposition.  If the  sum  of
     the  expected  future cash flows is less than  the  carrying
     amount   of   the  property,  the  Statement  requires   the
     Partnership to recognize an impairment loss by the amount by
     which  the carrying amount of the property exceeds the  fair
     value  of the property.  Adoption of this Statement  is  not
     expected  to  have  a material effect on  the  Partnership's
     financial statements.
     
     The  Partnership  owns  a  4.1022%  interest  in  a  Sizzler
     restaurant  in  Cincinnati, Ohio, a 93.2478% interest  in  a
     Sizzler  restaurant in Springboro, Ohio, and a 100% interest
     in  a  Sizzler restaurant in Fairfield, Ohio.   In  January,
     1994  and June, 1994, the Partnership closed the restaurants
     in  Cincinnati and Springboro, respectively, and listed them
     for sale or lease.  While the properties are being re-leased
     or  sold, the Partnership is responsible for the real estate
     taxes and other costs required to maintain the properties.
     
     On  July 15, 1994, the Partnership re-leased the Sizzler  in
     Fairfield to Fairfield Foods, Inc. (Fairfield) under a Lease
     Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual  rental
     payments based on a percentage of sales.  Fairfield was  not
     able  to  profitably operate the restaurant and  closed  the
     restaurant.   The  Partnership is  reviewing  the  available
     options, which include selling or re-leasing the property.
     
     No  rents were collected from the Sizzler restaurants in the
     first  nine  months of 1996 and 1995.  The total  amount  of
     rent  not  collected  in  1996 and  1995  was  $296,145  and
     $287,519,  respectively,  for the three  properties.   These
     amounts were not accrued for financial reporting purposes.
     
     In  August,  1995, the lessee of the two Rally's  properties
     filed  for  reorganization.  After reviewing  the  operating
     results  of the lessee, the Partnership agreed to amend  the
     Leases  of the two properties.  Effective December 1,  1995,
     the  Partnership amended the Leases to reduce the base  rent
     from  the  current  annual rent of $47,498  and  $48,392  to
     $15,000  for  each property.  The Partnership could  receive
     additional rent in the future equal to 6.5% of the amount by
     which gross receipts exceed $275,000.  The lessee has agreed
     to  pay  all  post-petition rents due and the  Partnership's
     related  administrative and legal expenses.  The Partnership
     is  owed $29,128 of pre-petition rent, which was not accrued
     for  financial reporting purposes due to the uncertainty  of
     collection.
     
     On   July  6,  1995,  the  Partnership  sold  the  Cheddar's
     restaurant   in   Columbus,  Ohio,  to  the   lessee.    The
     Partnership received net sale proceeds of $1,259,320,  which
     resulted  in a net gain of $105,291.  At the time  of  sale,
     the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $1,306,191
     and $152,162, respectively.
     
     On  September  1, 1995, the Partnership sold the  Applebee's
     restaurant  in  Memphis,  Tennessee,  to  the  lessee.   The
     Partnership received net sale proceeds of $1,444,822,  which
     resulted  in a net gain of $465,562.  At the time  of  sale,
     the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $1,126,919
     and $147,659, respectively.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate - (Continued)

     During the first nine months of 1996 and the year 1995,  the
     Partnership  distributed $123,465 and $691,021  of  the  net
     sale proceeds to the Limited and General Partners as part of
     their  regular quarterly distributions, which represented  a
     return   of   capital  of  $5.53  and  $30.90  per   Limited
     Partnership  Unit,  respectively.   The  majority   of   the
     remaining   net  proceeds  were  reinvested  in   additional
     properties.
     
     On  April  10,  1996,  the Partnership  purchased  an  85.0%
     interest  in  a  Tractor Supply Company  store  in  Bristol,
     Virginia for $1,094,367.  The property is leased to  Tractor
     Supply  Company under a Lease Agreement with a primary  term
     of  14  years  and annual rental payments of $116,686.   The
     remaining  interest  in the property was  purchased  by  the
     Individual General Partner of the Partnership.
     
     On  August  29,  1996,  the Partnership  purchased  a  32.2%
     interest  in  a Champp's Americana restaurant  in  Columbus,
     Ohio  for  $826,070.   The property is leased  to  Americana
     Dining  Corporation under a Lease Agreement with  a  primary
     term of 20 years and annual rental payments of $90,834.  The
     remaining  interest  in the property was  purchased  by  AEI
     Income  &  Growth Fund XXI Limited Partnership, an affiliate
     of the Partnership.
     
     On  May  10,  1996,  the Partnership sold  the  Taco  Cabana
     restaurant  in  New Braunfels, Texas to an  unrelated  third
     party.   The  Partnership  received  net  sale  proceeds  of
     $962,297, which resulted in a net gain of $254,305.  At  the
     time  of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
     of the property was $784,044 and $76,052, respectively.
     
     On  August 5, 1996, the Partnership sold a 13.7546% interest
     in  a  Taco  Cabana restaurant in San Antonio, Texas  to  an
     unrelated  third party.  The Partnership received  net  sale
     proceeds  of  $217,260  which resulted  in  a  net  gain  of
     $70,396.   The cost and related accumulated depreciation  of
     the interest sold was $158,441 and $11,577, respectively.
     
     On  September  12,  1996, the Partnership  sold  an  8.4209%
     interest in the Tractor Supply store in Bristol, Virginia to
     an unrelated third party.  The Partnership received net sale
     proceeds  of  $123,933  which resulted  in  a  net  gain  of
     $16,621.   The cost and related accumulated depreciation  of
     the interest sold was $108,418 and $1,106, respectively.
     
     On  October  15,  1996, the Partnership sold  an  additional
     10.6316%  interest  in  the Taco Cabana  restaurant  in  San
     Antonio, Texas to an unrelated third party.  The Partnership
     received  net sale proceeds of approximately $177,000  which
     resulted in a net gain of approximately $64,000.
     
     On  October  15,  1996, the Partnership sold  an  additional
     9.9069%  interest  in the Tractor Supply store  in  Bristol,
     Virginia  to  an  unrelated third  party.   The  Partnership
     received  net sale proceeds of approximately $151,000  which

(3)  Investments in Real Estate - (Continued)

     The Partnership owns the above properties and the Applebee's
     restaurant  in  Destin,  Florida, as tenants-in-common  with
     unrelated  third parties.  The management of the  properties
     is governed by co-tenancy agreements between the Partnership
     and the unrelated third parties, which grant the Partnership
     the  authority to control the management of the  properties.
     For   properties  owned  as  tenants-in-common  with   third
     parties, other than affiliated partnerships, the Partnership
     accounts  for  its  interest under  the  full  consolidation
     method whereby the unrelated third parties' interests in the
     properties  are  reflected  in the  Partnership's  financial
     statements as a minority interest.
     
     Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, net sale proceeds may
     be  reinvested in additional properties until  a  date  five
     years after the date on which the offer and sale of Units is
     terminated.  This period expired on December 4, 1995.  As  a
     result,  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  sale  proceeds
     from  the  sales of the Taco Cabana restaurants and  Tractor
     Supply Store in additional properties.

     AEI  Fund  Management, Inc. performs the administrative  and
     operating functions for the Partnership.  The payable to AEI
     Fund   Management  represents  the  balance  due  for  those
     services.    This  balance  is  non-interest   bearing   and
     unsecured  and  is  to  be  paid in  the  normal  course  of
     business.
     
(5)  Security Deposit -

     In February, 1996, the Partnership called a letter of credit
     for  $109,393  related  to  the Taco  Cabana  restaurant  in
     Brownsville,  Texas.  The Partnership applied a  portion  of
     the funds to satisfy rents and real estate taxes due.  As of
     September 30, 1996, the Partnership was holding $31,010 as a
     security  deposit  until the lessee  renews  the  letter  of
     credit.
     
(6)  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 $300,000.  The line of credit bears interest at
     the  prime rate 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.  In January, 1996, the line of credit expired.  In
     the  first nine months of 1995, interest expense related  to
     the line of credit was $6,115.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

       For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the
Partnership   recognized   rental  income   of   $1,233,721   and
$1,381,664,   respectively.   During  the   same   periods,   the
Partnership  earned  investment income of  $79,671  and  $22,567,
respectively.   In  1996, rental income  decreased  mainly  as  a
result  of  the  property sales and Rally's  situation  discussed
below.   The  decrease in rental income was partially  offset  by
rental income received from two subsequent property acquisitions,
rent  increases on fourteen properties and additional  investment
income earned on the net proceeds from the property sales.

        The  Partnership  owns a 4.1022% interest  in  a  Sizzler
restaurant in Cincinnati, Ohio, a 93.2478% interest in a  Sizzler
restaurant in Springboro, Ohio, and a 100% interest in a  Sizzler
restaurant in Fairfield, Ohio.  In January, 1994 and June,  1994,
the   Partnership  closed  the  restaurants  in  Cincinnati   and
Springboro,  respectively, and listed them  for  sale  or  lease.
While the properties are being re-leased or sold, the Partnership
is responsible for the real estate taxes and other costs required
to maintain the properties.

       On July 15, 1994, the Partnership re-leased the Sizzler in
Fairfield  to  Fairfield Foods, Inc. (Fairfield)  under  a  Lease
Agreement  with  a  primary term of 20 years  and  annual  rental
payments based on a percentage of sales.  Fairfield was not  able
to  profitably operate the restaurant and closed the  restaurant.
The Partnership is reviewing the available options, which include
selling or re-leasing the property.

        No  rents were collected from the Sizzler restaurants  in
the first nine months of 1996 and 1995.  The total amount of rent
not  collected  in  1996  and  1995 was  $296,145  and  $287,519,
respectively, for the three properties.  These amounts  were  not
accrued for financial reporting purposes.

        In August, 1995, the lessee of the two Rally's properties
filed  for reorganization.  After reviewing the operating results
of  the lessee, the Partnership agreed to amend the Leases of the
two  properties.   Effective December 1,  1995,  the  Partnership
amended  the  Leases  to reduce the base rent  from  the  current
annual  rent of $47,498 and $48,392 to $15,000 for each property.
The Partnership could receive additional rent in the future equal
to  6.5%  of the amount by which gross receipts exceed  $275,000.
The  lessee has agreed to pay all post-petition rents due and the
Partnership's  related  administrative and  legal  expenses.  The
Partnership is owed $29,128 of pre-petition rent, which  was  not
accrued  for  financial reporting purposes due to the uncertainty
of collection.

        In  February, 1996, the Partnership called  a  letter  of
credit  for  $109,393  related to the Taco Cabana  restaurant  in
Brownsville,  Texas.  The Partnership applied a  portion  of  the
funds  to  satisfy  rents  and real  estate  taxes  due.   As  of
September  30,  1996, the Partnership was holding  $31,010  as  a
security deposit until the lessee renews the letter of credit.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
the  Partnership  paid  Partnership  administration  expenses  to
affiliated parties of $184,882 and $189,630, 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  $140,096 and $69,123, 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  increase
in  these  expenses in 1996, when compared to the same period  in
1995,  is the result of expenses incurred in 1996 related to  the
Sizzler situation discussed above.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

        As  of  September 30, 1996, the Partnership's  annualized
cash  distribution rate was 6.0%, 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  the  nine months ended September  30,  1996,  the
Partnership's  cash  balances decreased $639,731  mainly  as  the
result  of  investing activities.  Net income before depreciation
and  gain  on  sale decreased by approximately $166,000   in  the
first  nine months of 1996, when compared to the same  period  in
1995.  This was due to a decrease in revenues as a result of  the
property  sales  discussed below and an increase in  expenses  in
1996.    This  decrease  was  partially  offset  by  net   timing
differences  in the collection of payments from the  lessees  and
the  payment  of expenses so that net cash provided by  operating
activities decreased by only $75,251 from 1995 to 1996.

        The  major components of the Partnership's cash flow from
investing activities are investments in real estate and  proceeds
from the sale of real estate.  In the nine months ended September
30,  1996, the Partnership generated cash flow from the  sale  of
real  estate, as discussed below, of $1,303,490.  During the same
period,  the  Partnership expended $1,911,639 to invest  in  real
properties (inclusive of acquisition expenses) as the Partnership
reinvested the cash generated from the property sales.

        On  July  6,  1995,  the Partnership sold  the  Cheddar's
restaurant  in  Columbus, Ohio, to the lessee.   The  Partnership
received net sale proceeds of $1,259,320, which resulted in a net
gain  of  $105,291.  At the time of sale, the  cost  and  related
accumulated    depreciation   was   $1,306,191   and    $152,162,
respectively.

        On September 1, 1995, the Partnership sold the Applebee's
restaurant in Memphis, Tennessee, to the lessee.  The Partnership
received net sale proceeds of $1,444,822, which resulted in a net
gain  of  $465,562.  At the time of sale, the  cost  and  related
accumulated    depreciation   was   $1,126,919   and    $147,659,
respectively.

        During  the first nine months of 1996 and the year  1995,
the Partnership distributed $123,465 and $691,021 of the net sale
proceeds  to  the Limited and General Partners as part  of  their
regular  quarterly distributions, which represented a  return  of
capital  of  $5.53  and  $30.90  per  Limited  Partnership  Unit,
respectively.   The majority of the remaining net  proceeds  were
reinvested in additional properties.

        On  April  10, 1996, the Partnership purchased  an  85.0%
interest  in a Tractor Supply Company store in Bristol,  Virginia
for $1,094,367.  The property is leased to Tractor Supply Company
under  a  Lease  Agreement with a primary term of  14  years  and
annual  rental payments of $116,686.  The remaining  interest  in
the  property was purchased by the Individual General Partner  of
the Partnership.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

        On  August  29, 1996, the Partnership purchased  a  32.2%
interest in a Champp's Americana restaurant in Columbus, Ohio for
$826,070.  The property is leased to Americana Dining Corporation
under  a  Lease  Agreement with a primary term of  20  years  and
annual rental payments of $90,834.  The remaining interest in the
property  was purchased by AEI Income & Growth Fund  XXI  Limited
Partnership, an affiliate of the Partnership.

        On  May  10,  1996, the Partnership sold the Taco  Cabana
restaurant  in New Braunfels, Texas to an unrelated third  party.
The  Partnership  received net sale proceeds of  $962,297,  which
resulted  in  a net gain of $254,305.  At the time of  sale,  the
cost  and  related accumulated depreciation of the  property  was
$784,044 and $76,052, respectively.

        On  August  5,  1996,  the Partnership  sold  a  13.7546%
interest in a Taco Cabana restaurant in San Antonio, Texas to  an
unrelated  third  party.   The  Partnership  received  net   sale
proceeds  of  $217,260 which resulted in a net gain  of  $70,396.
The  cost  and  related accumulated depreciation of the  interest
sold was $158,441 and $11,577, respectively.

        On  September 12, 1996, the Partnership sold  an  8.4209%
interest in the Tractor Supply store in Bristol, Virginia  to  an
unrelated  third  party.   The  Partnership  received  net   sale
proceeds  of  $123,933 which resulted in a net gain  of  $16,621.
The  cost  and  related accumulated depreciation of the  interest
sold was $108,418 and $1,106, respectively.

        On  October 15, 1996, the Partnership sold an  additional
10.6316%  interest in the Taco Cabana restaurant in San  Antonio,
Texas to an unrelated third party.  The Partnership received  net
sale  proceeds of approximately $177,000 which resulted in a  net
gain of approximately $64,000.

        On  October 15, 1996, the Partnership sold an  additional
9.9069% interest in the Tractor Supply store in Bristol, Virginia
to  an unrelated third party.  The Partnership received net  sale
proceeds  of approximately $151,000 which resulted in a net  gain
of approximately $25,000.

         The  Partnership  owns  the  above  properties  and  the
Applebee's  restaurant in Destin, Florida,  as  tenants-in-common
with  unrelated third parties.  The management of the  properties
is  governed by co-tenancy agreements between the Partnership and
the  unrelated  third  parties, which grant the  Partnership  the
authority  to  control  the management of  the  properties.   For
properties  owned as tenants-in-common with third parties,  other
than  affiliated partnerships, the Partnership accounts  for  its
interest   under  the  full  consolidation  method  whereby   the
unrelated   third  parties'  interests  in  the  properties   are
reflected in the Partnership's financial statements as a minority
interest.

        Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, net sale  proceeds
may  be  reinvested in additional properties until  a  date  five
years  after  the date on which the offer and sale  of  Units  is
terminated.   This  period expired on December  4,  1995.   As  a
result,  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 sale proceeds from the sales of  the
Taco  Cabana  restaurants and Tractor Supply Store in  additional
properties.


ITEM 2. 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.   The  redemption payments generally are funded  with  cash
that  would  normally  be paid as part of the  regular  quarterly
distributions.    As   a   result,   total   distributions    and
distributions payable have fluctuated from year to  year  due  to
cash  used to fund redemption payments.  In the first nine months
of 1995, the Partnership made distributions at an 8.0% rate which
resulted   in   distributions  to  the  Partners  of  $1,380,780.
Effective  January 1, 1996, the distribution rate was reduced  to
6.0%  which  resulted  in  distributions  of  $1,001,078  to  the
Partners for the first nine months of 1996.

        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.  In no event shall  the
Partnership  be  obligated to purchase  Units  if,  in  the  sole
discretion  of the Managing General Partner, such purchase  would
impair the capital or operation of the Partnership.

        On  October 1, 1996, fifteen Limited Partners redeemed  a
total of 313.42 Partnership Units for $233,227 in accordance with
the  Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership acquired these Units
using Net Cash Flow from operations.  In prior years, a total  of
forty-six  Limited  Partners redeemed 705 Partnership  Units  for
$602,632.    The  redemptions  increase  the  remaining   Limited
Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership.

       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 $300,000.
The  line  of  credit bears interest at the prime rate  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.  In January, 1996, the line  of  credit
expired.   In  the  first nine months of 1995,  interest  expense
related to the line of credit was $6,115.

       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.

discretion  by  delivering a cancellation notice, return  receipt
requested,  to Seller and escrow holder before the expiration  of

liabilities  under sections 15(a) of this agreement  (which  will
survive),  Buyer  (after execution of such  documents  reasonably
requested by Seller to evidence the termination hereof) shall  be
returned  its  First Payment, and Buyer will have  absolutely  no
rights,  claims  or interest of any type in connection  with  the
Property  or this transaction, regardless of any alleged  conduct

instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

8.   Title.  Closing will be conditioned on the  agreement  of  a

marketability thereto, said objections to be made in  writing  or
deemed  waived.  If any objections are so made, the Seller  shall
be  allowed eighty (80) days to make such title marketable or  in
the  alternative  to  obtain  a commitment  for  insurable  title

marketable or obtain insurable title, (after execution  by  Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the

this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and
effect.

     (a)  Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a
     part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth

     after   Closing  and  any  unpaid  installments  of  special
     assessments payable therewith and therafter, if such  unpaid
     levied and pending special assessments and real estate taxes
     are not paid by any tenant of the Entire Property.
     
     (b)   All income and all operating expenses from the  Entire
     Property  shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted
     by them as of the date of Closing.  Seller shall be entitled
     to  all  income  earned  and shall be  responsible  for  all
     expenses  incurred prior to the date of Closing,  and  Buyer
     shall  be entitled to its proportionate share of all  income
     earned and shall be responsible for its proportionate  shall
     of  all  operating expenses of the Property incurred on  and
     after the date of closing.

     If  the cost of repair is less than $10,000.00, Buyer  shall
     be  obligated  to  otherwise  perform  hereinunder  with  no
     adjustment  to  the Purchase Price, reduction or  abatement,
     and  Seller shall assign Seller's right, title and  interest
     in and to all insurance proceeds pro-rata in relation to the
     Entire  Property,  subject to rights of any  Tenant  of  the
     Entire Property.
     
     (b)   If,  prior  to  closing, the  Property,  or  any  part

shall  be immediately returned to Buyer (after execution by Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination hereof).

17.  Buyer's 1031 Tax Free Exchange.

      While  Seller  acknowledges that Buyer  is  purchasing  the
Property  as  "replacement property" to  accomplish  a  tax  free
exchange,   Buyer   acknowledges  that   Seller   has   made   no
representations,  warranties, or agreements to Buyer  or  Buyer's
agents  that  the transaction contemplated by the Agreement  will
qualify  for such tax treatment, nor has there been any  reliance
thereon by Buyer respecting the legal or tax implications of  the
transactions contemplated hereby.  Buyer further represents  that
it has sought and obtained such third party advice and counsel as
it  deems  necessary in regards to the tax implications  of  this
transaction.

      Buyer  wishes  to  novate/assign the ownership  rights  and
interest  of this Purchase Agreement to JOHN HARRIS who will  act
as  Facilitator  to  perfect the 1031 exchange  by  preparing  an
agreement  of exchange of Real Property whereby JOHN HARRIS  will
be  an  independent third party purchasing the ownership interest
in  subject  property  from  Seller  and  selling  the  ownership
interest  in subject property to Buyer under the same  terms  and
conditions as documented in this Purchase Agreement.  Buyer  asks
the Seller to cooperate in the perfection of such an exchange  at
no  additional  cost or expense or delay in time.   Buyer  hereby
indemnifies  and  holds Seller harmless from  any  claims  and/or
actions  resulting from said exchange.  Pursuant to the direction
of JOHN HARRIS,  Seller will deed the property to Buyer.

18.  Cancellation

     If  any party elects to cancel this Contract because of  any
     breach by another party or because escrow fails to close  by
     the  agreed date, the party electing to cancel shall deliver
     to escrow agent a notice containing the address of the party
     in  breach and stating that this Contract shall be cancelled
     unless  the  breach  is cured within 13 days  following  the
     delivery of the notice to the escrow agent.  Within three

THIS CO-TENANCY AGREEMENT,

Made  and  entered into as of the 5th day of Aug,  1996,  by  and
between  The Carolyn W. Davidson (hereinafter called "Davidson"),
and  AEI  Real Estate Fund XVIII Limited Partnership (hereinafter
called  "Fund XVIII") (Davidson, Fund XVIII (and any other  Owner
in   Fee  where  the  context  so  indicates)  being  hereinafter
sometimes collectively called "Co-Tenants" and referred to in the
neuter gender).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Fund XVIII presently owns an undivided 86.2454% interest
in  and  to,  and Davidson presently owns and undivided  13.7546%
interest in and to the land, situated in the City of San Antonio,
County  of  Bexar,  and State of Texas, (legally  described  upon
Exhibit A attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof)  and  in
and  to  the  improvements  located thereon  (hereinafter  called
"Premises");

WHEREAS,  The  parties  hereto wish to provide  for  the  orderly
operation and management of the Premises and Davidson's  interest
by  Fund  XVIII;  the  continued  leasing  of  space  within  the
Premises;  for the distribution of income from and  the  pro-rata
sharing in expenses of the Premises.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the purchase by Davidson of an
undivided  interest  in and to the Premises,  for  at  least  One
Dollar  ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration by  the
parties  hereto  to  one another in hand paid,  the  receipt  and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and of  the  mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, it is hereby agreed by
and between the parties hereto, as follows:

1.    The  operation  and  management of the  Premises  shall  be
delegated  to Fund XVIII, or its designated agent, successors  or
assigns. Provided, however, if Fund XVIII shall sell all  of  its
interest  in  the  Premises, the duties and obligations  of  Fund
XVIII  respecting management of the Premises as set forth herein,
including but not limited to paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 hereof, shall
be exercised by the holder or holders of a majority undivided co-
tenancy interest in the Premises. Except as hereinafter expressly
provided to the contrary, each of the parties hereto agrees to be
bound  by  the  decisions  of  Fund XVIII  with  respect  to  all
administrative,  operational  and  management  matters   of   the
property  comprising the Premises, including but not  limited  to
the  management of the net lease agreement  for the Premises. The
parties  hereto  hereby designate Fund XVIII as  their  sole  and
exclusive  agent to deal with any property agent and  to  execute
leases of space within the Premises, including but not limited to
any  amendments,  consents  to assignment,  sublet,  releases  or
modifications  to  leases or guarantees  of  lease  or  easements
affecting  the Premises, on behalf of all present or  future  Co-
Tenants. Only Fund XVIII may obligate any Co-Tenant with  respect
to any expense for the Premises.

As  further set forth in paragraph 2 hereof, Fund XVIII agrees to
require any lessee of the Premises to name Davidson as an insured
or  additional insured in all insurance policies provided for, or
contemplated by, any lease on the Premises. Fund XVIII shall  use
its best efforts to obtain endorsements adding Co-Tenants to said
policies  from  lessee  within 30 days of  commencement  of  this
agreement.  In  any  event,  Fund  XVIII  shall  distribute   any
insurance proceeds it may receive, to the extent consistent  with
any  lease  on  the Premises, to the Co-Tenants in proportion  to
their respective ownership of the Premises.



Co-Tenant Initial: /s/ CWD
Co-Tenancy Agreement for Taco Cabana - San Antonio, TX





2.    Income,  expenses and any net proceeds from a sale  of  the
Premises shall be allocated among the Co-Tenants in proportion to
their  respective  share(s) of ownership. Shares  of  net  income
shall be pro-rated for any partial calendar years included within
the term of this Agreement. Fund XVIII may offset against, pay to
itself  and  deduct from any payment due to Davidson  under  this
Agreement,  and may pay to itself the amount of Davidson's  share
of  any legitimate expenses of the Premises which are not paid by
Davidson to Fund XVIII or its assigns, within ten (10) days after
demand  by  Fund  XVIII.  In  the  event  there  is  insufficient
operating income from which to deduct Davidson's unpaid share  of
operating  expenses,  Fund XVIII may pursue  any  and  all  legal
remedies for collection.

Operating  Expenses  shall include all normal operating  expense,
including  but not limited to: maintenance, utilities,  supplies,
labor, management, advertising and promotional expenses, salaries
and wages of rental and management personnel, leasing commissions
to  third  parties, a monthly accrual to pay insurance  premiums,
real  estate taxes, installments of special assessments  and  for
structural repairs and replacements, management fees, legal  fees
and accounting fees, but excluding all operating expenses paid by
Lessee  under  terms of any triple net lease agreement  initiated
concurrently with, or subsequent to, this agreement.

Davidson has elected to retain, and agrees to annually reimburse,
Fund  XVIII  in the amount of $744 for the expenses,  direct  and
indirect,   incurred   by  Fund  XVIII  in  providing   quarterly
accounting  and distributions of Davidson's share of  net  income
and  for  tracking,  reporting and assessing the  calculation  of
Davidson's  share  of  operating  expenses  incurred   from   the
Premises.  This  invoice amount shall be  pro-rated  for  partial
years  and  Davidson authorizes Fund XVIII to deduct such  amount
from  Davidson's  share of revenue. Davidson may  terminate  this
agreement  at  any time and collect it's share of  rental  stream
directly from the tenant.

3.    Full, accurate and complete books of account shall be  kept
in  accordance  with generally accepted accounting principles  at
Fund  XVIII's  principal office, and each  Co-Tenant  shall  have
access  to  such books and may inspect and copy any part  thereof
during  normal business hours. Within ninety (90) days after  the
end  of  each  calendar year during the term hereof,  Fund  XVIII
shall  prepare an accurate income statement for the ownership  of
the  Premises for said calendar year and shall furnish copies  of
the  same  to  all Co-Tenants. Quarterly, as its share,  Davidson
shall be entitled to receive 13.7546% of all items of income  and
expense  generated  by  the Premises, and  Fund  XVIII  shall  be
entitled to receive 86.2454% as its share. Upon receipt  of  said
accounting,  if the payments received by each Co-Tenant  pursuant
to  this  Paragraph 3 do not equal, in the aggregate, the amounts
which  each are entitled to receive with respect to said calendar
year  pursuant  to Paragraph 2 hereof, an appropriate  adjustment
shall be made so that each Co-Tenant receives the amount to which
it is entitled.

4.    If  Net Income from the Premises is less than $0.00  (i.e.,
the  Premises  operates  at a loss), or if capital  improvements,
repairs, and/or replacements, for which adequate reserves do  not
exist,  need  to  be made to the Premises, the  Co-Tenants,  upon
receipt  of  a  written request therefor from Fund XVIII,  shall,
within  fifteen (15) business days after receipt of notice,  make
payment to Fund XVIII sufficient to pay said net operating losses
and  to provide necessary operating capital for the premises  and
to   pay   for   said   capital  improvements,   repairs   and/or
replacements, all in proportion to their undivided  interests  in
and to the Premises.

5.    Co-Tenants  may, at any time, sell, finance,  or  otherwise
create  a lien upon their interest in the Premises but only  upon
their  interest  and not upon any part of the interest  held,  or
owned, by any other Co-Tenant.  All Co-Tenants reserve the  right
to escrow proceeds from a sale of their interests in the Premises
to obtain tax deferral by the purchase of replacement property.

6.   If any Co-Tenant  shall be in default with respect to any of
its  obligations hereunder, and if said default is not  corrected
within  thirty  (30)  days after receipt by said  defaulting  Co-
Tenant  of written notice of said default, or within a reasonable
period  if  said default does not consist solely of a failure  to
pay money, the remaining Co-Tenant(s) may resort to any available
remedy to cure said default at law, in equity, or by statute.

7.    This  property management agreement shall continue in  full
force  and effect and shall bind and inure to the benefit of  the
Co-Tenant  and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns  until
the  expiration  date plus extensions of the net lease  agreement
or  upon  the sale of the entire Premises in accordance with  the
terms  hereof  and  proper disbursement of the proceeds  thereof,
whichever shall first occur.  Unless specifically identified as a
personal  contract  right or obligation  herein,  this  agreement
shall  run  with any interest in the Premises and with the  title
thereto. Once any person, party or entity has ceased to  have  an
interest  in  fee  in the Premises, it shall  not  be  bound  by,
subject  to  or  benefit from the terms hereof;  but  its  heirs,
executors,  administrators, personal representatives,  successors
or  assigns,  as  the  case may be, shall be substituted  for  it
hereunder.

8.    Any notice or election required or permitted to be given or
served by any party hereto to, or upon any other, shall be deemed

     Buyer Initial: /s/ JS
     Purchase Agreement for Tractor Supply - Bristol, VA
     
     
     
     
     It is a contingency upon Seller's obligations hereunder that
two  (2)  copies  of  Co-Tenancy Agreement in the  form  attached
hereto  duly  executed by Buyer and Seller and  dated  on  escrow
closing date be delivered to the Seller on the Closing date.

      Buyer may cancel this agreement for ANY REASON in its  sole
discretion  by  delivering a cancellation notice, return  receipt
requested,  to Seller and escrow holder before the expiration  of
any  review  period or inspection period. Such  notice  shall  be
deemed effective only upon receipt by Seller.

      If  Buyer  cancels this Agreement as permitted  under  this
Section,  except  for  any  escrow  cancellation  fees  and   any
liabilities  under sections 15(a) of this agreement  (which  will
survive),  Buyer  (after execution of such  documents  reasonably
requested by Seller to evidence the termination hereof) shall  be
returned  its  First Payment, and Buyer will have  absolutely  no
rights,  claims  or interest of any type in connection  with  the
Property  or this transaction, regardless of any alleged  conduct
by Seller or anyone else.

      Buyer  irrevocably  will be deemed to  have  canceled  this
Agreement and relinquish all rights in and to the Property unless
Buyer  makes the Second Payment when required. If this  Agreement
is not canceled and the Second Payment is made when required, all
of Buyer's conditions and contingencies will be deemed satisfied.

7.  Escrow. Escrow shall be opened by Seller and funds  deposited
in escrow upon acceptance of this agreement by both parties.. The
escrow  holder  will  be a nationally-recognized  escrow  company
selected by Seller. A copy of this Agreement will be delivered to
the  escrow holder and will serve as escrow instructions together
with the escrow holder's standard instructions and any additional
instructions required by the escrow holder to clarify its  rights
and  duties  (and  the  parties agree to  sign  these  additional
instructions).  If  there  is any conflict  between  these  other
instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

8.   Title.  Closing will be conditioned on the  agreement  of  a
title  company selected by Seller to issue an Owner's  policy  of
title  insurance, dated as of the close of escrow, in  an  amount
equal  to  the  purchase  price, insuring  that  Buyer  will  own
insurable  title  to  the Property subject  only  to:  the  title
company's  standard exceptions;  current real property taxes  and
assessments;  survey  exceptions;  and  other  items  of   record
disclosed to Buyer during the contingency period.

      Buyer shall be allowed five (5) days after receipt of  said
commitment  for examination and the making of any  objections  to
marketability thereto, said objections to be made in  writing  or
deemed  waived.  If any objections are so made, the Seller  shall
be  allowed eighty (80) days to make such title marketable or  in
the  alternative  to  obtain  a commitment  for  insurable  title
insuring over Buyer's objections.  If Seller shall decide to make
no  efforts to make title marketable, or is unable to make  title
marketable or obtain insurable title, (after execution  by  Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination  hereof) Buyer's First Payment shall be returned  and
this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and
effect.

     Pending correction of title, the payments hereunder required
shall  be postponed, but upon correction of title and within  ten
(10)  days  after written notice of correction to the Buyer,  the
parties shall perform this Agreement according to its terms.

     9.  Closing Costs.  Seller will pay one-half of escrow fees,
the cost of the title    commitment and any brokerage commissions
payable.   The  buyer will pay the   cost of issuing  a  Standard
Owners  Title  Insurance  Policy  in  the  full  amount  of   the
purchase  price.  Buyer will pay all recording fees, one-half  of
the  escrow fees, and     the cost of an update to the Survey  in
Sellers  possession  (if an update is  required       by  buyer.)
Each party will pay its own attorney's fees and costs to document
and  close this transaction.

10.  Real Estate Taxes, Special Assessments and Prorations.

     (a)  Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a
     part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth
     in  paragraph 11(a)(i), the parties acknowledge  that  there
     shall  be no need for a real estate tax proration.  However,
     Seller  represents  that to the best of its  knowledge,  all
     real  estate  taxes and installments of special  assessments
     due  and  payable in all years prior to the year of  Closing
     have  been paid in full.  Unpaid levied and pending  special
     assessments  existing on the date of Closing  shall  be  the
     responsibility  of Buyer and Seller in proportion  to  their
     respective  Tenant in Common interests.   Seller  and  Buyer
     shall  likewise pay all taxes due and payable  in  the  year
     after   Closing  and  any  unpaid  installments  of  special
     assessments payable therewith and therafter, if such  unpaid
     levied and pending special assessments and real estate taxes
     are not paid by any tenant of the Entire Property.
     
     (b)   All income and all operating expenses from the  Entire
     Property  shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted
     by them as of the date of Closing.  Seller shall be entitled
     to  all  income  earned  and shall be  responsible  for  all
     expenses  incurred prior to the date of Closing,  and  Buyer
     shall  be entitled to its proportionate share of all  income
     earned and shall be responsible for its proportionate  shall
     of  all  operating expenses of the Property incurred on  and
     after the date of closing.

     any cause, due to events occurring subsequent to the date of
     this Agreement to the extent that the cost of repair exceeds
     $10,000.00,  this Agreement shall become null and  void,  at
     Buyer's  option exercised, if at all, by written  notice  to
     Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer has received written
     notice  from Seller of said destruction or damage.   Seller,
     however,  shall  have  the right to  adjust  or  settle  any
     insured  loss  until  (i)  all contingencies  set  forth  in
     Paragraph 6 hereof have been satisfied, or waived; and  (ii)
     any  five-day period provided for above in this Subparagraph
     16a  for  Buyer  to  elect to terminate this  Agreement  has
     expired  or  Buyer has, by written notice to Seller,  waived
     Buyer's right to terminate this Agreement.  If Buyer  elects
     to  proceed  and  to  consummate the purchase  despite  said
     damage  or  destruction, there shall be no reduction  in  or
     abatement of the purchase price, and Seller shall assign  to
     Buyer the Seller's right, title, and interest in and to  all
     insurance  proceeds  (pro-rata in  relation  to  the  Entire
     Property) resulting from said damage or destruction  to  the
     extent  that the same are payable with respect to damage  to
     the  Property, subject to rights of any Tenant of the Entire
     Property.
     
     If  the cost of repair is less than $10,000.00, Buyer  shall
     be  obligated  to  otherwise  perform  hereinunder  with  no
     adjustment to the Purchase
     
     
     
     
     Buyer Initial: /s/ JS

     Price,  reduction  or  abatement, and  Seller  shall  assign
     Seller's  right, title and interest in and to all  insurance
     proceeds  pro-rata  in  relation  to  the  Entire  Property,
     subject to rights of any Tenant of the Entire Property.
     
     (b)   If,  prior  to  closing, the  Property,  or  any  part
     thereof,  is  taken by eminent domain, this Agreement  shall
     become null and void, at Buyer's option.  If Buyer elects to
     proceed  and to consummate the purchase despite said taking,
     there  shall  be  no  reduction in,  or  abatement  of,  the
     purchase  price,  and  Seller  shall  assign  to  Buyer  the
     Seller's  right,  title, and interest in and  to  any  award
     made, or to be made, in the condemnation proceeding pro-rata
     in relation to the Entire Property, subject to rights of any
     Tenant of the Entire Property.
     
      In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer  as
provided  above  in  Subparagraph 16a or 16b, the  First  Payment
shall  be immediately returned to Buyer (after execution by Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination hereof).

17.  Buyer's 1031 Tax Free Exchange.

      While  Seller  acknowledges that Buyer  is  purchasing  the
Property  as  "replacement property" to  accomplish  a  tax  free
exchange,   Buyer   acknowledges  that   Seller   has   made   no
representations,  warranties, or agreements to Buyer  or  Buyer's
agents  that  the transaction contemplated by the Agreement  will
qualify  for such tax treatment, nor has there been any  reliance
thereon by Buyer respecting the legal or tax implications of  the
transactions contemplated hereby.  Buyer further represents  that
it has sought and obtained such third party advice and counsel as
it  deems  necessary in regards to the tax implications  of  this
transaction.

      Buyer  wishes  to  novate/assign the ownership  rights  and
interest of this Purchase Agreement to Starker Services, Inc. who
will act as Facilitator to perfect the 1031 exchange by preparing
an  agreement  of  exchange  of  Real  Property  whereby  Starker
Services, Inc. will be an independent third party purchasing  the
ownership  interest in subject property from Seller  and  selling
the  ownership  interest in subject property to Buyer  under  the
same   terms  and  conditions  as  documented  in  this  Purchase
Agreement.   Buyer asks the Seller to cooperate in the perfection
of  such an exchange at no additional cost or expense or delay in
time.   Buyer  hereby indemnifies and holds Seller harmless  from
any claims and/or actions resulting from said exchange.  Pursuant
to the direction of Starker Services, Inc.,  Seller will deed the
property to Buyer.

18.  Cancellation

     If  any party elects to cancel this Contract because of  any
     breach by another party or because escrow fails to close  by
     the  agreed date, the party electing to cancel shall deliver
     to escrow agent a notice containing the address of the party
     in  breach and stating that this Contract shall be cancelled
     unless  the  breach  is cured within 13 days  following  the
     delivery  of  the notice to the escrow agent.  Within  three
     days  after  receipt of such notice, the escrow agent  shall
     send it by United States Mail to the party in breach at  the
     address contained in the Notice and no further notice  shall
     be required. If the breach is not

delegated  to Fund XVIII, or its designated agent, successors  or
assigns. Provided, however, if Fund XVIII shall sell all  of  its
interest  in  the  Premises, the duties and obligations  of  Fund
XVIII  respecting management of the Premises as set forth herein,
including but not limited to paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 hereof, shall
be exercised by the holder or holders of a majority undivided co-
tenancy interest in the Premises. Except as hereinafter expressly
provided to the contrary, each of the parties hereto agrees to be
bound  by  the  decisions  of  Fund XVIII  with  respect  to  all
administrative,  operational  and  management  matters   of   the
property  comprising the Premises, including but not  limited  to
the  management of the net lease agreement  for the Premises. The
parties  hereto  hereby designate Fund XVIII as  their  sole  and
exclusive  agent to deal with any property agent and  to  execute
leases of space within the Premises, including but not limited to
any  amendments,  consents  to assignment,  sublet,  releases  or
modifications  to  leases or guarantees  of  lease  or  easements
affecting  the Premises, on behalf of all present or  future  Co-
Tenants. Only Fund XVIII may obligate any Co-Tenant with  respect
to any expense for the Premises.

As  further set forth in paragraph 2 hereof, Fund XVIII agrees to
require any lessee of the Premises to name Scott as an insured or
additional  insured in all insurance policies  provided  for,  or
contemplated by, any lease on the Premises. Fund XVIII shall  use
its best efforts to obtain endorsements adding Co-Tenants to said
policies  from  lessee  within 30 days of  commencement  of  this
agreement.  In  any  event,  Fund  XVIII  shall  distribute   any
insurance proceeds it may receive, to the extent consistent  with
any  lease  on  the Premises, to the Co-Tenants in proportion  to
their respective ownership of the Premises.

2.    Income,  expenses and any net proceeds from a sale  of  the
Premises shall be allocated among the Co-Tenants in proportion to
their  respective  share(s) of ownership. Shares  of  net  income
shall be pro-rated for any partial calendar years included within
the term of this Agreement. Fund XVIII may offset against, pay to
itself  and  deduct  from any payment due  to  Scott  under  this
Agreement, and may pay to itself the amount of Scott's  share  of
any  legitimate expenses of the Premises which are  not  paid  by
Scott  to  Fund XVIII or its assigns, within ten (10) days  after
demand  by  Fund  XVIII.  In  the  event  there  is  insufficient
operating  income from which to deduct Scott's  unpaid  share  of
operating  expenses,  Fund XVIII may pursue  any  and  all  legal
remedies for collection.

Operating  Expenses  shall include all normal operating  expense,
including  but not limited to: maintenance, utilities,  supplies,
labor, management, advertising and promotional expenses, salaries
and wages of rental and management personnel, leasing commissions
to  third  parties, a monthly accrual to pay insurance  premiums,
real  estate taxes, installments of special assessments  and  for
structural repairs and replacements, management fees, legal  fees
and accounting fees, but excluding all operating expenses paid by
Lessee  under  terms of any triple net lease agreement  initiated
concurrently with, or subsequent to, this agreement.

Scott  has  elected to retain, and agrees to annually  reimburse,
Fund  XVIII  in the amount of $475 for the expenses,  direct  and
indirect,   incurred   by  Fund  XVIII  in  providing   quarterly
accounting  and distributions of Scott's share of net income  and
for  tracking, reporting and assessing the calculation of Scott's
share  of  operating  expenses incurred from the  Premises.  This
invoice  amount  shall be pro-rated for partial years  and  Scott
authorizes Fund XVIII to deduct such amount from Scott's share of
revenue.  Scott  may terminate this agreement  at  any  time  and
collect it's share of rental stream directly from the tenant.

3.    Full, accurate and complete books of account shall be  kept
in  accordance  with generally accepted accounting principles  at
Fund  XVIII's  principal office, and each  Co-Tenant  shall  have
access  to  such books and may inspect and copy any part  thereof
during  normal business hours. Within ninety (90) days after  the
end  of  each  calendar year during the term hereof,  Fund  XVIII
shall  prepare an accurate income statement for the ownership  of
the  Premises for said calendar year and shall furnish copies  of
the  same to all Co-Tenants. Quarterly, as its share, Scott shall
be entitled to receive 9.9069% of all items of income and expense
generated  by the Premises, and Fund XVIII shall be  entitled  to
receive  76.5791% as its share. Upon receipt of said  accounting,
if  the  payments  received by each Co-Tenant  pursuant  to  this
Paragraph  3  do not equal, in the aggregate, the  amounts  which
each  are entitled to receive with respect to said calendar  year
pursuant  to Paragraph 2 hereof, an appropriate adjustment  shall
be made so that each Co-Tenant receives the amount to which it is
entitled.

4.    If  Net Income from the Premises is less than $0.00  (i.e.,
the  Premises  operates  at a loss), or if capital  improvements,
repairs, and/or replacements, for which adequate reserves do  not
exist,  need  to  be made to the Premises, the  Co-Tenants,  upon
receipt  of  a  written request therefor from Fund XVIII,  shall,
within  fifteen (15) business days after receipt of notice,  make
payment to Fund XVIII sufficient to pay said net operating losses
and  to provide necessary operating capital for the premises  and
to   pay   for   said   capital  improvements,   repairs   and/or
replacements, all in proportion to their undivided  interests  in
and to the Premises.

5.    Co-Tenants  may, at any time, sell, finance,  or  otherwise
create  a lien upon their interest in the Premises but only  upon
their  interest  and not upon any part of the interest  held,  or
owned, by any other Co-Tenant.  All Co-Tenants reserve the  right
to escrow proceeds from a sale of their interests in the Premises
to obtain tax deferral by the purchase of replacement property.

6.   If any Co-Tenant, shall be in default with respect to any of
its  obligations hereunder, and if said default is not  corrected
within  thirty  (30)  days after receipt by said  defaulting  Co-
Tenant  of written notice of said default, or within a reasonable
period  if  said default does not consist solely of a failure  to
pay money, the remaining Co-Tenant(s) may resort to any available
remedy to cure said default at law, in equity, or by statute.

7.    This  property management agreement shall continue in  full
force  and effect and shall bind and inure to the benefit of  the
Co-Tenant  and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns  until
the  expiration  date plus extensions of the net lease  agreement
or  upon  the sale of the entire Premises in accordance with  the
terms  hereof  and  proper disbursement of the proceeds  thereof,
whichever shall first occur.  Unless specifically identified as a
personal  contract  right or obligation  herein,  this  agreement
shall  run  with any interest in the Premises and with the  title
thereto. Once any person, party or entity has ceased to  have  an
interest  in  fee  in the Premises, it shall  not  be  bound  by,
subject  to  or  benefit from the terms hereof;  but  its  heirs,
executors,  administrators, personal representatives,  successors
or  assigns,  as  the  case may be, shall be substituted  for  it
hereunder.

8.    Any notice or election required or permitted to be given or
served by any party hereto to, or upon any other, shall be deemed

     Purchase Agreement for Tractor Supply - Bristol, VA
     
     
     
     
     
     
     (d)  Lease  of  the Entire Property showing occupancy  date,
     lease   expiration  date,  rent,  and  Guarantys,  if   any,
     accompanied by such tenant financial statements as may  have
     been  provided most recently to Seller by the Tenant  and/or
     Guarantors.
     
     It is a contingency upon Seller's obligations hereunder that
two  (2)  copies  of  Co-Tenancy Agreement in the  form  attached
hereto  duly  executed by Buyer and Seller and  dated  on  escrow
closing date be delivered to the Seller on the Closing date.

      Buyer may cancel this agreement for ANY REASON in its  sole
discretion  by  delivering a cancellation notice, return  receipt
requested,  to Seller and escrow holder before the expiration  of
any  review  period or inspection period. Such  notice  shall  be
deemed effective only upon receipt by Seller.

      If  Buyer  cancels this Agreement as permitted  under  this
Section,  except  for  any  escrow  cancellation  fees  and   any
liabilities  under sections 15(a) of this agreement  (which  will
survive),  Buyer  (after execution of such  documents  reasonably
requested by Seller to evidence the termination hereof) shall  be
returned  its  First Payment, and Buyer will have  absolutely  no
rights,  claims  or interest of any type in connection  with  the
Property  or this transaction, regardless of any alleged  conduct
by Seller or anyone else.

      Buyer  irrevocably  will be deemed to  have  canceled  this
Agreement and relinquish all rights in and to the Property unless
Buyer  makes the Second Payment when required. If this  Agreement
is not canceled and the Second Payment is made when required, all
of Buyer's conditions and contingencies will be deemed satisfied.

7.  Escrow. Escrow shall be opened by Seller and funds  deposited
in escrow upon acceptance of this agreement by both parties.. The
escrow  holder  will  be a nationally-recognized  escrow  company
selected by Seller. A copy of this Agreement will be delivered to
the  escrow holder and will serve as escrow instructions together
with the escrow holder's standard instructions and any additional
instructions required by the escrow holder to clarify its  rights
and  duties  (and  the  parties agree to  sign  these  additional
instructions).  If  there  is any conflict  between  these  other
instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

8.   Title.  Closing will be conditioned on the  agreement  of  a
title  company selected by Seller to issue an Owner's  policy  of
title  insurance, dated as of the close of escrow, in  an  amount
equal  to  the  purchase  price, insuring  that  Buyer  will  own
insurable  title  to  the Property subject  only  to:  the  title
company's  standard exceptions;  current real property taxes  and
assessments;  survey  exceptions;  and  other  items  of   record
disclosed to Buyer during the contingency period.

      Buyer shall be allowed five (5) days after receipt of  said
commitment  for examination and the making of any  objections  to
marketability thereto, said objections to be made in  writing  or
deemed  waived.  If any objections are so made, the Seller  shall
be  allowed eighty (80) days to make such title marketable or  in
the  alternative  to  obtain  a commitment  for  insurable  title
insuring over Buyer's objections.  If Seller shall decide to make
no  efforts to make title marketable, or is unable to make  title
marketable or obtain insurable title, (after execution  by  Buyer
of such documents reasonably



Buyer Initial: /s/ ADM /s/ LBM
Purchase Agreement for Tractor Supply - Bristol, VA





requested  by Seller to evidence the termination hereof)  Buyer's
First Payment shall be returned and this Agreement shall be  null
and void and of no further force and effect.

     Pending correction of title, the payments hereunder required
shall  be postponed, but upon correction of title and within  ten
(10)  days  after written notice of correction to the Buyer,  the
parties shall perform this Agreement according to its terms.

     9.  Closing Costs.  Seller will pay one-half of escrow fees,
the cost of the title    commitment and any brokerage commissions
payable.   The  buyer will pay the   cost of issuing  a  Standard
Owners  Title  Insurance  Policy  in  the  full  amount  of   the
purchase  price.  Buyer will pay all recording fees, one-half  of
the  escrow fees, and     the cost of an update to the Survey  in
Sellers  possession (if an update isrequired   by  buyer.)   Each
party will pay its own attorney's fees and costs to document  and
close this transaction.

     10.  Real Estate Taxes, Special Assessments and Prorations.

     (a)  Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a
     part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth
     in  paragraph 11(a)(i), the parties acknowledge  that  there
     shall  be no need for a real estate tax proration.  However,
     Seller  represents  that to the best of its  knowledge,  all
     real  estate  taxes and installments of special  assessments
     due  and  payable in all years prior to the year of  Closing
     have  been paid in full.  Unpaid levied and pending  special
     assessments  existing on the date of Closing  shall  be  the
     responsibility  of Buyer and Seller in proportion  to  their
     respective  Tenant in Common interests.   Seller  and  Buyer
     shall  likewise pay all taxes due and payable  in  the  year
     after   Closing  and  any  unpaid  installments  of  special
     assessments payable therewith and therafter, if such  unpaid
     levied and pending special assessments and real estate taxes
     are not paid by any tenant of the Entire Property.
     
     (b)   All income and all operating expenses from the  Entire
     Property  shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted
     by them as of the date of Closing.  Seller shall be entitled
     to  all  income  earned  and shall be  responsible  for  all
     expenses  incurred prior to the date of Closing,  and  Buyer
     shall  be entitled to its proportionate share of all  income
     earned and shall be responsible for its proportionate  shall
     of  all  operating expenses of the Property incurred on  and
     after the date of closing.
     
11.  Seller's Representation and Agreements.

     (a)  Seller represents and warrants as of this date that:

     (i)   Except  for the lease in existence between Seller  and
     Tractor  Supply Company, dated April 10th, 1996,  Seller  is
     not aware of any leases of the Property.

     (ii)   It  is  not  aware  of  any  pending  litigation   or
     condemnation  proceedings against the Property  or  Seller's
     interest in the Property.
     
     
     
     
     
     Buyer Initial: /s/ ADM /s/ LBM
     Purchase Agreement for Tractor Supply - Bristol, VA
     
     (iii)   Except as previously disclosed to Buyer and  as  set
     forth  in  paragraph (b) below, Seller is not aware  of  any
     contracts Seller has executed that would be binding on Buyer
     after the closing date.
          
     (b)   Provided  that  Buyer performs  its  obligations  when
     required, Seller agrees that it will not enter into any  new
     contracts that would materially affect the Property  and  be
     binding  on  Buyer  after the closing date  without  Buyer's
     prior  consent,  which  will not be  unreasonably  withheld.
     However,  Buyer acknowledges that Seller retains  the  right
     both  prior to and after the Closing Date to freely transfer
     all or a portion of Seller's remaining undivided interest in
     the  Entire  Property provided such sale shall not  encumber
     the  Property being purchased by Buyer in violation  of  the
     terms hereof or the contemplated Co-Tenancy Agreement.
     
12.  Disclosures.

     (a)   To the best of Seller's knowledge: there are now,  and
     at  the  Closing  there  will be, no material,  physical  or
     mechanical  defects  of  the  Property,  including,  without
     limitation,   the   plumbing,  heating,  air   conditioning,
     ventilating, electrical systems, and all such items  are  in
     good  operating condition and repair and in compliance  with
     all  applicable  governmental , zoning and  land  use  laws,
     ordinances, regulations and requirements.
     
     (b)   To  the  best  of  Seller's  knowledge:  the  use  and
     operation of the Property now is, and at the time of Closing
     will  be, in full compliance with applicable building codes,
     safety,   fire,  zoning,  and  land  use  laws,  and   other
     applicable   local,  state  and  federal  laws,  ordinances,
     regulations and requirements.
     
     (c)   Seller  knows  of no facts nor has  Seller  failed  to
     disclose  to  Buyer  any fact known to  Seller  which  would
     prevent  Buyer  from using and operating the Property  after
     the  Closing  in the manner in which the Property  has  been
     used and operated prior to the date of this Agreement.
     
     (d)  To the best of Seller's knowledge: the Property is not,

Property  as  "replacement property" to  accomplish  a  tax  free
exchange,   Buyer   acknowledges  that   Seller   has   made   no

interest  in  subject  property  from  Seller  and  selling   the

claims and/or actions resulting from said exchange.  Pursuant  to
the  direction of               ,  Seller will deed the  property
to Buyer.

     to escrow agent a notice containing the address of the party
     in  breach and stating that this Contract shall be cancelled
     unless  the  breach  is cured within 13 days  following  the

interest  in subject property to Buyer under the same  terms  and
conditions as documented in this Purchase Agreement.  Buyer  asks
the Seller to cooperate in the perfection of such an exchange  at
no  additional  cost or expense or delay in time.   Buyer  hereby
indemnifies  and  holds Seller harmless from  any  claims  and/or
actions  resulting from said exchange.  Pursuant to the direction

delegated  to Fund XVIII, or its designated agent, successors  or
assigns. Provided, however, if Fund XVIII shall sell all  of  its
interest  in  the  Premises, the duties and obligations  of  Fund
XVIII  respecting management of the Premises as set forth herein,
including but not limited to paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 hereof, shall
be exercised by the holder or holders of a majority undivided co-
tenancy interest in the Premises. Except as hereinafter expressly
provided to the contrary, each of the parties hereto agrees to be
bound  by  the  decisions  of  Fund XVIII  with  respect  to  all
administrative,  operational  and  management  matters   of   the
property  comprising the Premises, including but not  limited  to
the  management of the net lease agreement  for the Premises. The
parties  hereto  hereby designate Fund XVIII as  their  sole  and
exclusive  agent to deal with any property agent and  to  execute
leases of space within the Premises, including but not limited to
any  amendments,  consents  to assignment,  sublet,  releases  or
modifications  to  leases or guarantees  of  lease  or  easements
affecting  the Premises, on behalf of all present or  future  Co-
Tenants. Only Fund XVIII may obligate any Co-Tenant with  respect
to any expense for the Premises.

As  further set forth in paragraph 2 hereof, Fund XVIII agrees to
require  any  lessee  of the Premises to  name  Middleton  as  an
insured  or additional insured in all insurance policies provided
for,  or  contemplated by, any lease on the Premises. Fund  XVIII
shall  use  its  best efforts to obtain endorsements  adding  Co-
Tenants   to  said  policies  from  lessee  within  30  days   of
commencement  of this agreement. In any event, Fund  XVIII  shall
distribute any insurance proceeds it




Co-Tenant Initial: /s/ ADM /s/ LBM
Co-Tenancy Agreement for Tractor Supply - Bristol, VA





may  receive,  to  the extent consistent with any  lease  on  the
Premises,  to  the  Co-Tenants in proportion to their  respective
ownership of the Premises.

2.    Income,  expenses and any net proceeds from a sale  of  the
Premises shall be allocated among the Co-Tenants in proportion to
their  respective  share(s) of ownership. Shares  of  net  income
shall be pro-rated for any partial calendar years included within
the term of this Agreement. Fund XVIII may offset against, pay to
itself  and  deduct from any payment due to Middleton under  this
Agreement, and may pay to itself the amount of Middleton's  share
of  any legitimate expenses of the Premises which are not paid by
Middleton  to  Fund XVIII or its assigns, within  ten  (10)  days
after  demand  by Fund XVIII. In the event there is  insufficient
operating income from which to deduct Middleton's unpaid share of
operating  expenses,  Fund XVIII may pursue  any  and  all  legal
remedies for collection.

Operating  Expenses  shall include all normal operating  expense,
including  but not limited to: maintenance, utilities,  supplies,
labor, management, advertising and promotional expenses, salaries
and wages of rental and management personnel, leasing commissions
to  third  parties, a monthly accrual to pay insurance  premiums,
real  estate taxes, installments of special assessments  and  for
structural repairs and replacements, management fees, legal  fees
and accounting fees, but excluding all operating expenses paid by
Lessee  under  terms of any triple net lease agreement  initiated
concurrently with, or subsequent to, this agreement.

Middleton   has  elected  to  retain,  and  agrees  to   annually
reimburse,  Fund  XVIII in the amount of $595 for  the  expenses,
direct   and  indirect,  incurred  by  Fund  XVIII  in  providing
quarterly  accounting and distributions of Middleton's  share  of
net   income  and  for  tracking,  reporting  and  assessing  the
calculation  of Middleton's share of operating expenses  incurred
from  the  Premises. This invoice amount shall be  pro-rated  for
partial years and Middleton authorizes Fund XVIII to deduct  such
amount from Middleton's share of revenue. Middleton may terminate
this  agreement  at  any time and collect it's  share  of  rental
stream directly from the tenant.

3.    Full, accurate and complete books of account shall be  kept
in  accordance  with generally accepted accounting principles  at
Fund  XVIII's  principal office, and each  Co-Tenant  shall  have
access  to  such books and may inspect and copy any part  thereof
during  normal business hours. Within ninety (90) days after  the
end  of  each  calendar year during the term hereof,  Fund  XVIII
shall  prepare an accurate income statement for the ownership  of
the  Premises for said calendar year and shall furnish copies  of
the  same  to all Co-Tenants. Quarterly, as its share,  Middleton
shall be entitled to receive 11.6552% of all items of income  and
expense  generated  by  the Premises, and  Fund  XVIII  shall  be
entitled to receive 66.6722% as its share. Upon receipt  of  said
accounting,  if the payments received by each Co-Tenant  pursuant
to  this  Paragraph 3 do not equal, in the aggregate, the amounts
which  each are entitled to receive with respect to said calendar
year  pursuant  to Paragraph 2 hereof, an appropriate  adjustment
shall be made so that each Co-Tenant receives the amount to which
it is entitled.

4.    If  Net Income from the Premises is less than $0.00  (i.e.,
the  Premises  operates  at a loss), or if capital  improvements,
repairs, and/or replacements, for which adequate reserves do  not
exist,  need  to  be made to the Premises, the  Co-Tenants,  upon
receipt  of  a  written request therefor from Fund XVIII,  shall,
within  fifteen (15) business days after receipt of notice,  make
payment to Fund XVIII sufficient to pay said net operating losses
and  to provide necessary operating capital for the premises  and
to   pay   for   said   capital  improvements,   repairs   and/or
replacements, all in proportion to their undivided  interests  in
and to the Premises.

5.    Co-Tenants  may, at any time, sell, finance,  or  otherwise
create  a lien upon their interest in the Premises but only  upon
their  interest  and not upon any part of the interest  held,  or
owned, by any other Co-Tenant.  All Co-



Co-Tenant Initial: /s/ ADM /s/ LBM
Co-Tenancy Agreement for Tractor Supply - Bristol, VA







Tenants reserve the right to escrow proceeds from a sale of their
interests in the Premises to obtain tax deferral by the  purchase
of replacement property.

6.   If any Co-Tenant, shall be in default with respect to any of
its  obligations hereunder, and if said default is not  corrected
within  thirty  (30)  days after receipt by said  defaulting  Co-
Tenant  of written notice of said default, or within a reasonable
period  if  said default does not consist solely of a failure  to
pay money, the remaining Co-Tenant(s) may resort to any available
remedy to cure said default at law, in equity, or by statute.

7.    This  property management agreement shall continue in  full
force  and effect and shall bind and inure to the benefit of  the
Co-Tenant  and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns  until
the  expiration  date plus extensions of the net lease  agreement
or  upon  the sale of the entire Premises in accordance with  the
terms  hereof  and  proper disbursement of the proceeds  thereof,
whichever shall first occur.  Unless specifically identified as a
personal  contract  right or obligation  herein,  this  agreement
shall  run  with any interest in the Premises and with the  title
thereto. Once any person, party or entity has ceased to  have  an
interest  in  fee  in the Premises, it shall  not  be  bound  by,
subject  to  or  benefit from the terms hereof;  but  its  heirs,
executors,  administrators, personal representatives,  successors
or  assigns,  as  the  case may be, shall be substituted  for  it
hereunder.

8.    Any notice or election required or permitted to be given or
served by any party hereto to, or upon any other, shall be deemed
given  or  served  in  accordance with  the  provisions  of  this
Agreement, if said notice or elections addressed as follows;
