Item 1.  Business

The Registrant, Inland Mortgage  Investors  Fund III, L.P. (the "Partnership"),
was formed in September 1988  pursuant  to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act.  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 on January 9, 1991, with total
sales of 5,675.50 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 Partnership funded seven
loans between  October  1990  and  June  1992  utilizing  $2,302,064 of capital
proceeds collected.  The  Limited  Partners  of  the  Partnership shared in the
benefits of ownership of  the  Partnership's mortgage receivable investments in
proportion to  the  number  of  Units  held.    Inland  Real  Estate Investment
Corporation was the General  Partner.    On  December 30, 1998, the Partnership
terminated.    In  connection  with  the  liquidation  and  termination  of the
Partnership, funds  of  $21,219  were  transferred  to  the  General Partner on
November 25, 1998,  representing  the  estimated potential remaining obligation
(including administrative costs) of the Partnership.

The Partnership was engaged  solely  in  the  business  of making and acquiring
loans collateralized  by  mortgages  on  improved,  income producing properties
located in or near Chicago, Illinois.   The loans were being serviced by Inland
Mortgage Servicing Corporation, a subsidiary of the General Partner.

The Partnership had no employees during 1998.

The terms of transactions between the Partnership and Affiliates of the General
Partner of the Partnership are set  forth  in  Item  11 below and Note 2 of the
Notes to Financial Statements (Item 8 of this Annual Report) to which reference
is hereby made.


Item 2.  Properties

The Partnership owned no real properties.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

The Partnership is not subject to any material pending legal proceedings.


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during 1998.

Item 5.  Market for the  Partnership's  Limited  Partnership  Units and Related
         Security Holder Matters

As of December 30, 1998, there  were  240  holders of Units of the Partnership.
There was no public market  for  Units  nor  is  it anticipated that any public
market for Units would  develop.    Reference  is  made  to  Item 6 below for a
discussion of cash distributions made to the Limited Partners.

The Partnership's Liquidity Plan was  available  to  the Limited Partners.  See
"Distribution Reinvestment Plan" and "Liquidity Plan," pages 42-43 and page 18,
respectively, of the Prospectus of the Partnership dated January 9, 1989, which
is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and
         Results of Operations


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 a  total of 5,675.50 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.  On  December  30,  1998,  the  Partnership terminated.  In
connection with the liquidation  and  termination  of the Partnership, funds of
$21,219  were  transferred  to  the  General  Partner  on  November  25,  1998,
representing   the   estimated   potential   remaining   obligation  (including
administrative costs) of the Partnership.


Results of Operations

Interest and fees on mortgage  loans  receivable decreased for the period ended
December 30, 1998,  as  compared  to  the  year  ended  December  31, 1997, due
primarily to the prepayment of  the mortgage loans receivable collateralized by
the properties located at 5540  W.  103rd  Street, Oak Lawn, Illinois, 5009 and
5013  Florence  Avenue,  Downers  Grove,  Illinois  and  the  partial  paydowns
throughout 1997 and 1998 on the  mortgage loan receivable collateralized by the
property located at 7432 Washington, Forest  Park, Illinois.  Interest and fees
on mortgage loans receivable decreased for the year ended December 31, 1997, as
compared to the year  ended  December  31,  1996,  due primarily to the partial
paydowns  throughout  1996   and   1997   on   the   mortgage  loan  receivable
collateralized  by  the  property  located  at  7432  Washington,  Forest Park,
Illinois.

Interest on investments increased for  the  period  ended December 30, 1998, as
compared to the year ended December 31,  1997, and decreased for the year ended
December 31, 1997, as compared to the  year ended December 31, 1996, due to the
timing of the Partnership receiving  repayment  proceeds on loans that paid off
and were invested before being distributed to the Limited Partners.

Other income recorded for the period  ended  December 30, 1998 is the result of
the  Partnership  receiving    prepayment   penalties  on  the  mortgage  loans
receivable.













                                      -6-



Professional services to Affiliates is  lower  for  the year ended December 31,
1997, as compared to the  period  ended  December  30,  1998 and the year ended
December 31, 1996,  due  to  decreases  in  accounting  services.  Professional
services to non-affiliates increased for the period ended December 30, 1998, as
compared to the years ended  December  31,  1997  and 1996, due to increases in
legal and accounting  services  required  relating  to  the  liquidation of the
Partnership.

General and administrative  expenses  to  Affiliates  decreased  for the period
ended December 30, 1998, as compared  to  the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996, due to decreases in data processing, mortgage servicing fees and investor
services expenses.    General  and  administrative  expenses  to non-affiliates
increased for the period  ended  December  30,  1998,  as compared to the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,  due  to  increases in printing and state tax
expenses.


Year 2000 Issues

As of December 30, 1998,  Inland  Mortgage Investors Fund III, L.P. terminated,
and therefore, will not be impacted by the so-called "Year 2000 Issue."


Inflation

To provide a hedge against the effects of inflation, the Partnership invested a
portion of  its  offering  proceeds  in  first  mortgage  loans with adjustable
interest rates, as described in  Note  4  of  the Notes to Financial Statements
(Item 8 of this Annual Report).

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS




The Partners of Inland Mortgage
  Investors Fund III, L.P.

In our opinion, the accompanying  balance  sheets and the related statements of
operations, partners' capital and  cash  flows  present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position  of  Inland  Mortgage Investors Fund III, L.P.
(the "Company") at December 30, 1998 and  December 31, 1997, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for  each  of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 1997 and  the  period  from  January 1, 1998 to December 30,
1998 (date of  termination)  in  conformity  with generally accepted accounting
principles.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management; our responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally  accepted  auditing  standards  which require that we
plan and perform the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are  free  of  material  misstatement.   An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence  supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the  financial  statements,  assessing   the  accounting  principles  used  and
significant estimates made by management,  and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.   We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.

As discussed in note 1 of  the  financial statements, on December 30, 1998, the
Partnership was terminated  subsequent  to  the  distribution  of its remaining
assets.

(1) Organization, Liquidation 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.    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  on January 9, 1991, with
total  sales  of  5,675.50  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 Partnership
funded seven loans between October  1990  and June 1992 utilizing $2,302,064 of
capital proceeds collected.  The Limited  Partners of the Partnership shared in
the benefits of ownership of  the Partnership's mortgage receivable investments
in proportion to the  number  of  Units  held.    Inland Real Estate Investment
Corporation was the General  Partner.    On  December 30, 1998, the Partnership
terminated.    In  connection  with  the  liquidation  and  termination  of the
Partnership, funds  of  $21,219  were  transferred  to  the  General Partner on
November 25, 1998,  representing  the  estimated potential remaining obligation
(including administrative costs) of the Partnership.

The preparation of financial  statements  in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles required  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 have differed from those estimates.

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

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

Interest income on mortgage  loans  receivable  was  accrued  when earned.  The
accrual of interest, on loans  that  are  in default, was discontinued when, in
the opinion of the General  Partner,  the  borrower  had not complied with loan
work-out arrangements.  Once a  loan  had  been placed on a non-accrual status,
all cash received was applied  against  the outstanding loan balance until such
time as the borrower had  demonstrated  an  ability  to make payments under the
terms of the original  or  renegotiated  loan  agreement.   The General Partner
evaluated the collectibility of the mortgage  loans on a quarterly basis.  This
evaluation included  determining  the  valuation  of  the  underlying operating
property subject to the mortgage.    Should  a  portion of the principal of the
mortgage loan have been  considered  unrecoverable either through collection or
foreclosure, a provision would have been  made to reduce the carrying amount of
the mortgage loans.

                         Notes to Financial Statements
                                  (continued)


The Partnership believed that the  interest  rates associated with the mortgage
receivable approximated the market  interest  rates,  and as such, the carrying
amount of the mortgages receivable approximated 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.

Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards  No.  128 "Earnings per Share" was
adopted by the Partnership for the  year  ended  December 31, 1997 and has been
applied to all prior  earnings  periods  presented in the financial statements.
The Partnership had no dilutive securities.

The Partnership records are  maintained  on  the  accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles ("GAAP").  The Federal
income tax return has been  prepared  from such records after making appropriate
adjustments to reflect the Partnership's accounts as adjusted for Federal income
tax reporting purposes.  Such adjustments are not recorded on the records of the
Partnership.  The net effect of these items is summarized as follows:

number of Units outstanding of 5,674.50.

                                  (continued)


(2) Transactions with Affiliates

The General Partner  and  its  Affiliates  were  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
the professional services to Affiliates and general and administrative expenses
to Affiliates, of which $837 was unpaid at December 31, 1997.

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 distributions 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 was
received from the General Partner.

Inland Mortgage Servicing  Corporation,  a  subsidiary  of the General Partner,
serviced the Partnership's  mortgage  loans  receivable.  Its services included
processing  mortgage  loan  collections  and  escrow  deposits  and maintaining
related records.  For these services, the Partnership was obligated to pay fees
at an annual  rate  equal  to  1/4  of  1%  of  the  outstanding mortgage loans
receivable balance of the Partnership.  Such  fees of $1,520 in 1998, $2,513 in
1997 and $2,881 in 1996 have been  incurred  and paid to the subsidiary and are
included  in  the   Partnership's   general   and  administrative  expenses  to
Affiliates.


(3) Partnership Agreement

The Partnership Agreement defines  the  allocation  of distributable cash flows
and  profits and losses.    Limited  Partners  were to receive 95% of Operating
Cash Flow then being  distributed  until  the  Limited Partners have received a
Cumulative Preferred Return of 8% per  annum  through January 9, 1994 and a 10%
Preferential Return for the  period  commencing  January 10, 1994.  Thereafter,
Operating Cash Flow was distributed to the General Partner to the extent of any
Supplemental Capital Contributions and then 90% to the Limited Partners and 10%
to the General Partner.
