Readers of this  Quarterly  Report  should  refer  to the Partnership's audited
financial statements for the  fiscal  year  ended  December 31, 1997, which are
included  in  the  Partnership's   1997   Annual  Report  as  certain  footnote
disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited
financial statements have been omitted from this Report.

(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting

Inland Mortgage Investors Fund  III,  L.P.  (the  "Partnership"), was formed in
September 1988 pursuant to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act
to make  or  acquire  loans  collateralized  by  mortgages  on improved, income
producing  properties  generally  located   in   or   near  Chicago  and  other
metropolitan areas.  On January 9,  1989, the Partnership commenced an Offering
of 40,000 (subject  to  an  increase  up  to  50,000) Limited Partnership Units
("Units")  pursuant  to  a  Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-11  under  the
Securities Act of 1933.   The  Offering  terminated January 9, 1991, with total
sales of 5,674.50 Units,  resulting  in  gross offering proceeds of $2,837,749,
which includes the General Partner's $500  contribution.  All of the holders of
these Units were admitted  to  the  Partnership.    The Limited Partners of the
Partnership share in the benefits of  ownership  in proportion to the number of
Units held.  Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation is the General Partner.

The preparation of financial  statements  in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires  management  to  make  estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts  of  assets  and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at  the  date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of  revenues  and  expenses  during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Offering costs have been offset against the Limited Partners' capital accounts.

The Partnership  considers  all  highly  liquid  investments  purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Interest income on  mortgage  loans  receivable  is  accrued  when earned.  The
accrual of interest, on loans that are in default, is discontinued when, in the
opinion of the General Partner, the  borrower  has not complied with loan work-
out arrangements.  Once a  loan  has  been  placed on a non-accrual status, all
cash received is applied against  the  outstanding loan balance until such time
as the borrower has demonstrated an ability to make payments under the terms of
the original or renegotiated loan agreement.  The Partnership intends to pursue
collection of all amounts currently due from the borrowers. 

The Partnership believes that the  interest rates associated with the mortgages
receivable approximate the market  interest  rates,  and  as such, the carrying
amount of the mortgages receivable approximate their fair value.

No provision for Federal income taxes  has  been made as the liability for such
taxes is that of the Partners rather than the Partnership.

In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  financial  statements  contain  all the
adjustments necessary, which  are  of  a  normal  recurring  nature, to present
fairly the financial position and  results  of operations.  Interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.


(2) Transactions with Affiliates

The General  Partner  and  its  Affiliates  are  entitled  to reimbursement for
salaries and expenses of employees  of  the  General Partner and its Affiliates
relating to the administration of the  Partnership.  Such costs are included in
professional services to Affiliates and  general and administrative expenses to
Affiliates, of which $2,465 and $837  remained unpaid at September 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, respectively.

The General Partner was required to make Supplemental Capital Contributions, if
necessary, from time to time in  sufficient amounts to allow the Partnership to
make cumulative return to the  Limited  Partners  amounting  to at least 8% per
annum on their Invested Capital through January 9, 1994.  The cumulative amount
of such Supplemental Capital Contributions  is  $306,874, all of which has been
paid.

The Partnership  has  arranged  for  Inland  Mortgage  Servicing Corporation, a
subsidiary of the General Partner,  to service the Partnership's mortgage loans
receivable.  The services  include  processing  mortgage collections and escrow
deposits and maintaining related records.   For these services, the Partnership
is obligated to  pay  fees  at  an  annual  rate  equal  to  1/4  of  1% of the
outstanding mortgage loans receivable of the  Partnership.  Such fees of $1,520
and $1,879 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
have been  incurred  and  paid  to  the  subsidiary  and  are  included  in the
Partnership's general and administrative expenses to Affiliates.

(3) Mortgage Loans Receivable

Mortgage loans receivable are  collateralized  by  first mortgages on improved,
income producing properties  located  in  Chicago,  Illinois or its surrounding
metropolitan area.  As additional collateral, the Partnership holds assignments
of rents and leases or  personal  guarantees  of the borrowers.  Generally, the
mortgage notes are payable in equal monthly installments based on 20 or 30 year
amortization periods.

The borrower  on  the  loan  collateralized  by  the  property  located at 7432
Washington made additional partial paydowns  on  the mortgage.  The Partnership
received $68,571 in 1998 and  $93,429  in  1997, its proportionate share of the
total paydowns.

On June 5,  1998,  the  borrower  on  the  loan  collateralized by the property
located at 5540 W. 103rd  Street  prepaid  the  loan.  The Partnership received
$381,904,  which  included  all  principal,  accrued  interest  and  an $11,013
prepayment penalty.

On August 14, 1998, the  borrower  on  the  loan collateralized by the property
located at 5009 and 5013  Florence  Avenue, Downers Grove, Illinois prepaid the
loan.  The Partnership received $405,058, which included all principal, accrued
interest and a prepayment penalty of $9,845.


(4) Subsequent Events

On October 1, 1998, an  Affiliate  of  the Partnership purchased the final loan
collateralized by the  property  located  at  7432  Washington  for 100% of its
outstanding principal  amount  including  accrued  interest.    The Partnership
received $125,752, its proportionate share of the payoff.

During October 1998, the  Partnership  paid  a  distribution of $600,000 to the
Limited Partners, all of which represents repayment proceeds.

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

Certain statements in this  "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and  elsewhere in this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q constitute  "forward-looking  statements"  within  the meaning of the
Federal Private Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995.   These forward-
looking statements involve  known  and  unknown  risks, uncertainties and other
factors which  may  cause  the  Partnership's  actual  results,  performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied  by  these forward-looking statements.  These
factors include,  among  other  things,  federal,  state  or local regulations;
adverse changes in general economic  or local conditions; inability of borrower
to meet financial  obligations;  uninsured  losses;  and potential conflicts of
interest between the  Partnership  and  its  Affiliates,  including the General
Partner.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On January 9, 1989, the Partnership commenced an Offering of 40,000 (subject to
an increase to 50,000)  Limited  Partnership  Units  pursuant to a Registration
Statement on  Form  S-11  under  the  Securities  Act  of  1933.   The Offering
terminated on January 9, 1991 with total  sales of 5,674.50 Units being sold to
the public at $500 per Unit  resulting in gross offering proceeds of $2,837,749
which includes the General Partner's  $500 contribution. The Partnership funded
seven loans between October 1990 and  June 1992 utilizing $2,302,064 of capital
proceeds collected.  As of September  30, 1998, cumulative distributions to the
Limited Partners totaled $3,601,916,  of  which $2,420,750 represents principal
amortization  and  repayments  and  $306,874  represents  Supplemental  Capital
Contributions from the General Partner.

As of September 30,  1998,  the  Partnership  had  cash and cash equivalents of
$496,698.  The Partnership intends to  use  such funds to pay distributions and
for working capital requirements.

The mortgage loans receivable of the Partnership have generated sufficient cash
flow to cover the operating expenses  of  the  Partnership.  To the extent that
cash flow  was  insufficient  to  meet  the  minimum  8%  annualized  return to
investors through January 9, 1994,  as  well  as any other financial needs, the
Partnership  received  Supplemental  Capital  Contributions  from  the  General
Partner.

At September  30,  1998,  the  Partnership  had  one  mortgage  loan receivable
totaling $124,571 collateralized by  the  property  located at 7432 Washington.
The annual interest receivable from  this  last  asset would be insufficient to
meet the Partnership's annual operating expenses  or to provide any future cash
distributions  to  investors.    On  October  1,  1998,  an  Affiliate  of  the
Partnership purchased the  final  loan  for  100%  of its outstanding principal
amount.  During October 1998,  the  Partnership paid a distribution of $600,000
to the Limited Partners.    The  Partnership retained approximately $18,000 for
the payment of final bills.    A  final  distribution will be made to investors
after the payment of all final bills.

Results of Operations

The decrease in interest on  mortgage  loans  receivable for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997, is due to  the  partial paydowns of the loan collateralized
by the property located at 7432 Washington  in the first and fourth quarters of
1997 and the first, second and  third  quarters of 1998, the prepayment in June
1998 of the loan collateralized by the property located at 5540 W. 103rd Street
and the prepayment in August  1998  of  the loan collateralized by the property
located at 5009 & 5013 Florence Avenue.

Other income for the three and  nine months ended September 30, 1998 represents
a prepayment penalty received  as  a  result  of  the  prepayments of the loans
collateralized by the properties located  at  5540  W.  103rd Street and 5009 &
5013 Florence Avenue.

Professional services to Affiliates  decreased  for  the  three and nine months
ended September 30,  1998,  as  compared  to  the  three  and nine months ended
September 30, 1997, due to  a  decrease  in accounting services required by the
Partnership.

The decrease in general and administrative expenses to Affiliates for the three
and nine months ended September  30,  1998,  as  compared to the three and nine
months ended September 30,  1997,  is  due  to  a  decrease in investor service
charges, mortgage servicing fees and data processing expense.


Year 2000 Issues

GENERAL

Many computer operating systems  and  software  applications were designed such
that the year 1999 is the  maximum  date  that can be processed accurately.  In
conducting business, the Partnership relies  on computers and operating systems
provided by equipment manufacturers, and also on application software developed
internally and,  to  a  limited  extent,  by  outside  software  vendors.   The
Partnership has assessed its  vulnerability  to the so-called "Year-2000 Issue"
with respect to its equipment and computer systems.



















                                      -9-



STATE OF READINESS

The  Partnership  has  identified  the  following  two  areas  for  "Year-2000"
compliance efforts:

Business  Computer  Systems:  The  majority  of  the  Partnership's information
technology systems  were  developed  internally  and  include accounting, lease
management, investment portfolio  tracking,  and  tax  return preparation.  The
Partnership has rights to the  source  code  for these applications and employs
programmers who are  knowledgeable  regarding  these  systems.   The process of
testing these internal  systems  to  determine  year  2000 compliance is nearly
complete.  The Partnership does  not  anticipate any material costs relating to
its  business  computer  systems  regarding  year  2000  compliance  since  the
Partnership's  critical  hardware  and  software  systems  use  four  digits to
represent the applicable year.  The Partnership does use various computers, so-
called "PC's", that may run software that  may not use four digits to represent
the applicable year.  The  Partnership  is  in  the  process  of testing the PC
hardware and software to determine year  2000  compliance, but it must be noted
that such PC's  are  incidental  to  the  Partnership's  critical systems.  The
Partnership is considering independent testing of its critical systems.

Borrowers and  Suppliers:  The  Partnership  is  in  the  process  of surveying
borrowers, suppliers  and  other  parties  with  whom  the  Partnership  does a
significant amount of business to identify the Partnership's potential exposure
in the event such parties are not year 2000 compliant in a timely manner. Since
this area involves some parties over which the Partnership has no control, such
as public utility companies, it is  difficult,  at best, to judge the status of
the outside companies' year 2000 compliance. The Partnership is working closely
with all suppliers of goods and services in an effort to minimize the impact of
the failure of any supplier to become year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1999.
The Partnership's investigations and  assessments  of possible year 2000 issues
are in a preliminary stage, and  currently  the Partnership is not aware of any
material impact on its business, operations  or financial condition due to year
2000 non-compliance by any of the Partnership's borrowers or suppliers. 

YEAR 2000 COSTS

The Partnership's General Partner  and  its  Affiliates  estimate that costs to
achieve  year  2000  compliance   will   not   exceed  $50,000.  However,  only
approximately 1% of these costs will  be  directly allocated to and paid by the
Partnership. The balance of the  year 2000 compliance costs, approximately 99%,
will be paid by  the  General  Partner  and  its  Affiliates.   Total year 2000
compliance  costs  incurred  through  September   30,  1998  are  estimated  at
approximately $5,000.

YEAR 2000 RISKS

The most reasonable likely worst case scenario for the Partnership with respect
to the year 2000 non-compliance of  its  business computer systems would be the
inability to access information  which  could  result  in  the failure to issue
financial reports.  The  most  reasonable  likely  worst  case scenario for the
Partnership with respect to the  year  2000  non-compliance of its borrowers is
failure to receive  mortgage  payments  which  could  result in the Partnership
being unable to meet cash requirements for monthly expenses.

CONTINGENCY PLAN

The Partnership is in the process  of formulating a contingency plan which will
be developed by July of 1999.
