                           CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

This confidentiality agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between Angeles
Mortgage Investment Trust ("AMIT") and Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("IFG"),
on behalf of itself and Affiliates of IFG (as hereinafter defined),
(collectively "Insignia") effective December 3, 1996.

AMIT understands that Insignia is interested in evaluating AMIT in connection
with a potential investment, acquisition, business combination or similar
transaction involving AMIT (an "Extraordinary Transaction").  AMIT may after
the effective date of this Agreement provide Insignia with information
concerning the operations and business of AMIT.  Insignia understands that such
information may be confidential and proprietary to AMIT and AMIT and Insignia
agree that any information provided prior to the effective date of this
Agreement is not governed by the terms of this Agreement.  Information provided
to Insignia after the effective date of this Agreement shall be considered
"Evaluation Information" only if it is in writing and provided to Andrew L.
Farkas, James A. Aston or Frank M. Garrison ("Authorized Persons") and one of
the Authorized Persons agrees in writing that such information is Evaluation
Information for purposes of this Agreement.  By signing this Agreement and
returning it to AMIT, Insignia agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Evaluation Information in the manner required by the terms of
<PAGE>   2





this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Evaluation Information shall
not include information which is or becomes available to the public other than
as a result of disclosure  in breach of this Agreement or information which is
or becomes available to Insignia from a source (other than AMIT or its agents)
who is not known by Insignia to be a party to a confidentiality agreement with
AMIT prohibiting disclosure of such information.  Affiliate for purposes hereof
shall mean and be limited to "affiliates" as defined in Rule 405 under the
Securities Act of 1933 provided that a shareholder of IFG, other than Andrew L.
Farkas, shall not be considered an Affiliate of IFG for purposes hereof unless
such shareholder is otherwise an Affiliate of IFG or has agreed with IFG or an
Affiliate of IFG, as of the effective date hereof or during the Standstill
Period (as hereinafter defined), to act together for the purpose of acquiring,
holding, voting or disposing of shares of AMIT.

By executing this Agreement, Insignia acknowledges that the Evaluation
Information is valuable confidential property of AMIT and AMIT and Insignia
agree as follows:

a)       Subject to the terms hereof and for a period of 3 years from the date
         hereof Insignia will use the Evaluation Information solely for the
         purpose of evaluating AMIT in connection with an Extraordinary
         Transaction and, subject to the terms hereof, will not disclose the
         Evaluation Information to any person for any other private or
         commercial purpose;





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3





b)       Subject to the terms hereof, Insignia will take all appropriate
         measures to safeguard the confidentiality of the Evaluation
         Information and to discuss it only with those employees and outside
         advisors or financing sources to whom disclosure is reasonably
         required for Insignia's analysis of AMIT in connection with an
         Extraordinary Transaction;

c)       Prior to showing the Evaluation Information, or discussing it with any
         of the individuals in (b) above, Insignia will advise such individuals
         of the confidentiality of the Evaluation Information and will require
         that such individuals agree to maintain the confidentiality of the
         Evaluation Information subject to the terms hereof.  If Insignia
         elects to show the Evaluation Information to professional advisors,
         including, without limitation, independent accountants or investment
         bankers, it will require such advisors (other than its attorneys) to
         agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of the Evaluation
         Information in accordance with the terms hereof;

d)       Upon written request from AMIT, Insignia will return all of the
         Evaluation Information to AMIT and keep no copies other than one copy
         for archival purposes;

e)       Insignia will not purchase any of AMIT's shares without prior written
         approval of AMIT at any time for the period (the "Standstill Period")
         commencing the date hereof and





                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4





         ending at 6:00 A.M. Los Angeles Time, on the 14th day following the
         date Insignia gives AMIT written notice that Insignia elects to
         terminate the Standstill Period.  In determining the number of days
         pursuant to this paragraph (e), the day on which notice is given shall
         be included.

f)       That AMIT might be irreparably harmed by violation of this Agreement,
         and that the use of the Evaluation Information by another party could
         enable such a party to compete unfairly with AMIT.  Accordingly, AMIT
         shall be entitled to injunctive relief and to enforcement by specific
         performance of this Agreement, in addition to any other relief to
         which either may be entitled at law and in equity;

g)       Subject to the terms of this Agreement, that neither this Agreement
         nor the disclosure to Insignia of the Evaluation Information shall
         confer upon Insignia any license to or any other right, title or
         interest in, or ownership of, any portion of the Evaluation
         Information;

h)       That AMIT and its representatives make no representation or warranty
         to the accuracy or completeness of the Evaluation Information and, to
         the extent permitted by law, that neither AMIT nor any of its
         representatives shall have any liability to Insignia as a result of
         their participation in the evaluation of any Evaluation Information.
         Only those particular representations or warranties which may be made





                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5





         in a definitive agreement when, and if executed, and subject to such
         limitations and restrictions as may be specified therein, shall have
         any legal effect and only the parties to such definitive agreement
         shall have any rights with respect thereto;

i)       Notwithstanding the terms hereof, nothing herein shall (A) restrict
         Insignia in any way from taking any action or exercising any rights
         which it may have as a shareholder of AMIT (with respect to shares of
         AMIT acquired other than in violation of paragraph (e) of this
         Agreement) and using any of the Evaluation Information in connection
         therewith, including, without limitation, voting any such shares of
         AMIT or signing a written consent in connection therewith (provided
         that nothing herein shall restrict applicable federal and state
         securities laws) or (B) constitute an acknowledgement of AMIT that
         Insignia has any such rights or (C) restrict AMIT from challenging, on
         any basis other than the terms of this Agreement, any action taken by
         Insignia as a shareholder of AMIT  (except with respect to shares
         acquired in violation of paragraph (e) of this Agreement), or
         otherwise restrict AMIT from taking any action against Insignia.

j)       Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, Insignia may disclose 
         Evaluation Information to the extent required by law.
