   2. POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL PROPERTY ACQUISITION.  The Company has entered into a
contract to purchase  the  Lexington  Towers  Apartments,  a 197-unit  high-rise
apartment  building  in  Richmond,  Virginia.  See pages 42  through  44 in this
Supplement  No. 9 for a description  of this  property.  The Company has not yet
closed on this  acquisition,  and there is no assurance such closing will occur,
although it is scheduled for June 30, 1996.

   3.    CONSIDERATION    OF    SELF-ADMINISTRATION.    The    Company   is   an
"externally-advised"  or  "externally-managed"  REIT. As described  herein,  the
Advisor  (Cornerstone  Advisors,  Inc.)  oversees the  ordinary  business of the
Company pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. In addition,  Cornerstone Management
Group, Inc. and Cornerstone  Realty Group, Inc. (both Affiliates of the Advisor)
provide Property  management  services and Property  acquisition and disposition
services  to  the  Company.  In  exchange  for  their  services,   the  Advisor,
Cornerstone  Management  Group,  Inc. and  Cornerstone  Realty  Group,  Inc. all
receive  certain  fees  and  expense   reimbursements  from  the  Company.   See
"Compensation" in the Prospectus.

   The officers and  Directors of the Company have  undertaken  an evaluation of
whether it would be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to
convert the Company into a  "self-administered"  or  "self-managed"  REIT.  This
conversion,  if  undertaken,  would  involve  transferring  some  or  all of the
management and other services now being provided by other companies to employees
of the Company. If such conversion were implemented, the Company would no longer
pay fees to  other  companies  for  services  transferred  to  employees  of the
Company,  but would itself bear the costs thereof (including  salaries and wages
to such  employees).  Any such  conversion  would likely  involve the payment of
consideration, either in Shares, cash or other Property, from the Company to the
entities whose  contracts  with the Company were being  terminated in connection
with  such  conversion,  in  recognition  of  such  companies  agreeing  to  the
termination of their agreements.  Material  developments,  if any, pertaining to
the possible conversion of the Company to  "self-administered" or "self-managed"
status will be reported in  supplements  to this  Prospectus  or in  appropriate
filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

   STATUS OF THE OFFERING.  As of May 28, 1996,  the Company had closed the sale
to  investors  of  13,457,133  Shares  in the  offering  under  the  Prospectus,
representing  aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of  $148,028,463,  and net
proceeds (net of selling commissions) of $133,225,617.

   In  its  previous  Share  offering,   the  Company  sold  4,664,799   Shares,
representing  aggregate  gross  proceeds  to the  Company of  approximately  $50
million, and net proceeds (after deducting selling commissions) of approximately
$45 million. Thus, as of May 28, 1996, the gross and net proceeds to the Company
from sales of its Shares in offerings  since 1992  totalled  approximately  $198
million and $178 million, respectively.

   As of July  31,  1995,  the  Company  had  closed  the sale to  investors  of
3,461,545  Shares in the Offering under the Prospectus,  representing  aggregate
gross proceeds to the Company of  $38,077,003,  and net proceeds (net of selling
of commissions) of  $34,269,303.  On March 31, 1995, June 2, 1995,  September 5,
1995,  September  14,  1995 and  October 6,  1995,  the  Company  filed with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission  post-effective  amendments  (containing the
Company's audited financial  statements for the year ended December 31, 1994) to
the registration  statement which had been declared  effective November 4, 1994.
Each of the  post-effective  amendments  was  filed  pursuant  to the  Company's
undertaking to file at least once every three months a post-effective  amendment
to consolidate all supplements  theretofore used in connection with the Offering
and to file any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933 in a  post-effective  amendment.  Subsequent to July 31, 1995,  the Company
continued the offering and sale of Shares and, in August,  1995, closed the sale
to investors of  approximately  668,728  Shares,  representing  aggregate  gross
proceeds to the Company of  approximately  $7,756,010,  and net proceeds (net of
selling  commissions) of  approximately  $6,818,409.  All of the  post-effective
amendments were declared effective on October 6, 1995.

Company has purchased the following properties:

   Additional  information on these Properties and the markets in which they are
located  is  provided  below.  As of the  date of this  Supplement,  there is no
mortgage debt  encumbering the Company's real  properties.  The Company believes
that each of the  Company's  properties  is and will  continue to be  adequately
covered by property and liability insurance.

   The Company owns more than one  Property in several  cities.  Generally,  the
Company may acquire multiple properties in cities, particularly where the cities
involved are  perceived as being  favorable  rental  markets.  The  ownership of
multiple  properties  within  a given  city or  rental  market  may  offer  some
operational  economies for the Company.  However,  Properties located within the
same city or rental  market  area may,  to a certain  extent,  compete  with one
another for tenants. The Company does not plan to acquire multiple properties in
any city or rental market if the Company  believes that the Properties  would be
engaged  in  competition  with each  other  which  could  adversely  affect  the
operations of any Property.

   Each Property  described  below is managed by Cornerstone  Management  Group,
Inc. under a property management agreement requiring payment by the Company of a
monthly  management  fee equal to five percent (5%) of the gross revenues of the
Property.  For information on the amount of property management fees and expense
reimbursements  received by Cornerstone Management Group, Inc. from the Company,
see  "Additional  Information  Concerning the Company -- Compensation to Advisor
and Affiliates" in this  Supplement.  In addition,  in consideration of services
rendered to the Company in connection with the selection and acquisition of each
Property,  the  Company  paid to  Cornerstone  Realty  Group,  Inc.  a  property
acquisition  fee of two percent (2%) of the purchase price of each Property,  as
follows:

(the  "Unanimous  Consent"),  the Company's  Board of Directors  authorized  the

Company  to  borrow  up to $30  million  principal  amount  from  time  to  time
outstanding,  on prevailing  commercial terms from suitable  commercial  lenders
(and on either an unsecured or secured basis),  to permit property  acquisitions
by the Company,  as long as the offering and sale of Shares is continuing and it
is  anticipated  by the  Company's  officers  that proceeds from future sales of
Shares will be sufficient to repay the amount of the  borrowing.  This borrowing
authorization  is in  substitution  for, and not in addition to, earlier similar
borrowing authorizations. The borrowings authorized by the Unanimous Consent are
authorized  by  the  Company's  Bylaws.  In  addition,  the  limitations  on the
borrowings  adopted in the Unanimous Consent should not be construed as limiting
any of the Company's rights and powers generally provided for in its Bylaws.

   The Company believes that a line of credit facilitates the timely acquisition
of properties by the Company and improves the regularity  with which closings of
sales of Shares can be effected, without changing the Company's overall business
objective and policy of operating on an unleveraged or  "debt-free"  basis.  The
Company  believes  that  the rate at which  Shares  are sold is not  necessarily
consistent  with  the  manner  in which  prospective  attractive  real  property
acquisitions  become  available to the Company.  The use of interim  borrowings,
which are designed to be repaid with subsequent sales of Shares,  may permit the
Company to acquire  properties  thought by management  to be  desirable,  before
Shares  representing the full purchase price of a particular  property have been
sold.  Also,  the use of such  interim  debt may have the effect of reducing the
period of time  during  which the  investors'  funds are held in escrow  pending
disbursement  to the Company,  since the Company is no longer  required to match
exactly proceeds from Share sales with property purchase prices.

   Pursuant to the  authority  granted by the Company's  Board of Directors,  in
November, 1995, the Company obtained a $20 million unsecured line of credit (the
"Unsecured  Line of Credit") from First Union  National Bank of Virginia.  Under
the  Unsecured  Line of Credit,  the  Company  could  borrow up to $20  million,
principal amount from time to time outstanding,  on an unsecured basis. The line
of credit matured,  and any outstanding  balance remaining unpaid thereunder was
due, on March 31, 1996,  unless extended by the parties  thereto.  Pursuant to a
Unanimous  Consent of Directors of the Company  dated as of April 11, 1996,  the
Company's Board of Directors  authorized the Company's  officers to increase the
amount of the Company's  unsecured  borrowings  to up to $60 million  (principal
amount from time to time outstanding).  Pursuant to such authority the Company's
officers  have renewed the  Unsecured  Line of Credit from First Union  National
Bank of Virginia with an increased credit limit of $50 million (principal amount
from time to time  outstanding).  The terms of such  renewed  unsecured  line of
credit (as so renewed,  the "Unsecured  Line of Credit") are the same as before,
except that the expiration date is March 31, 1997,  unless extended by agreement
of the lender and the Company. The interest rate on the Unsecured Line of Credit
is one-month LIBOR plus 160 basis points. The conditions,  limitations and risks
associated with the Company's  utilization of the renewed line of credit are the
same as with the Unsecured Line of Credit which matured on March 31, 1996.

   The Company presently intends to utilize such interim borrowings only if, and
to the extent that, it is  anticipated  that future sales of Shares will provide
funds  necessary to repay such  borrowings.  However,  there can be no assurance
that any such  borrowings  will, in fact, be repaid from future sales of Shares.
To the extent that Share sales are  insufficient  to repay any such  borrowings,
the Company will have a remaining outstanding loan, which would entail the types
of risks and investment  considerations described under "Risk Factors - Possible
Borrowing; Debt Financing May Reduce Cash Flow and Increase Risk of Default" and
"Investment Objectives and Policies - Borrowing Policies" in the Prospectus. The
Company  would have a variety of  potential  means of  addressing  any such loan
remaining outstanding,  including the repayment of such borrowing with cash from
operations or  refinancing  such  borrowing  with other debt, but such repayment
and/or  refinancing would entail the types of effects on investors and the risks
described in such sections of the Prospectus.

   As of June 17, 1996, the  outstanding  principal  balance under the Unsecured
Line of Credit was $32,705,000.

                           THE TRESTLES APARTMENTS
                           RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA

   On December 30,  1994,  the Company  purchased  The  Trestles  Apartments,  a
280-unit  apartment  complex having an address of 3008 Calvary  Drive,  Raleigh,
N.C. (the "Property"). The Company purchased the Property from a seller which is
unaffiliated with the Company,  the Advisor and their  Affiliates.  The purchase
price was $10,350,000. On an interim basis, $5,000,000 of the total funds needed
to acquire  the  property  were  borrowed  funds.  The  borrowing  was repaid in
February,  1995 with proceeds from the sale of Shares. The balance of the amount
required for the  purchase of the Property  came from the closing of the sale of
Shares.  Title to the Property  was conveyed to the Company by limited  warranty
deed.

   Location.  The  following  is based in part on  information  provided  by the
Raleigh Chamber of Commerce.  Raleigh is the state capital of North Carolina and
the seat of Wake County.  The city is located  approximately 150 miles southwest
of Richmond, Virginia, 140 miles east of Charlotte, North Carolina and 260 miles
south of Washington, D.C. Raleigh had a population of 235,000 in 1995, while the
total population of Wake County was 494,000.

   The  economy of the Raleigh  area is  diversified.  According  to the Raleigh
Chamber of Commerce,  Raleigh's largest employer is the State of North Carolina,
which employs over 18,000 persons,  and other major  employers  include IBM with
10,000 employees,  and the Wake County Public Schools with  approximately  9,000
employed.  A  contributing  factor to  Raleigh's  growth  has been the  Research
Triangle,  a 5,800 acre research and  development  center that employs more than
15,000  people in over 30  government  and  industrial  firms.  These  firms are
complemented  by the  resources  of the three major  universities  that form the
Triangle:  Duke University in Durham, the University of North Carolina in Chapel
Hill,  and North  Carolina  State  University in Raleigh.  Raleigh was ranked by
Forbes  magazine  in 1992 as the sixth  best city in the  country in which to do
business.  According  to The  Triangle  Apartment  Association,  Raleigh  has an
overall apartment vacancy rate of approximately 2%.

   The  Property  is located on the south  side of  Calvary  Drive in  northeast
Raleigh. The primary thoroughfare in the area is Capital Boulevard (U.S. Highway
1) which  intersects  with  Calvary  Drive  two-tenths  of one mile  east of the
Property.  Capital Boulevard provides quick access to major east/west  corridors
and to the Raleigh Beltline (I-440) three miles south of the Property.  Downtown
Raleigh is six miles and a ten minute  drive on Capital  Boulevard.  The Raleigh
Beltline and Interstate 40 form Raleigh's belt loop providing  convenient access
to  other  key  thoroughfares,  the  Raleigh/Durham  Airport,  and the  Research
Triangle Park.

   The  neighborhood   immediately   surrounding  the  Property  consists  of  a
combination  of  single  family  housing,  apartment  communities,  neighborhood
shopping centers, and commercial  businesses.  According to the Raleigh News and
Observer,  a 65 acre shopping area, which will reportedly contain 534,000 square
feet of shopping space,  is currently  being  developed  directly across Calvary
Drive from the Property, and, in addition, another 123 acres are being developed
into a 1.2 million  square foot  regional  shopping  mall within one mile of the
Property.  The  estimated  cost of this  development  is $123  million and it is
anticipated to open in late 1997.

   Description  of the  Property.  The  Property  consists  of 280 garden  style
apartments in 15 two- and three-story  buildings  situated on approximately 14.8
acres. The Company believes that since its construction in 1987, the complex has
been  well-maintained  and  is in  good  condition.  The  Company  has  expended
approximately  $485,000  in  the  completion  of  certain  improvements  to  the
Property,  including  renovation of the clubhouse,  some  landscaping  and other
minor refurbishments.

</TABLE>

   The units provide for a combined total of 217,320 square feet of net rentable
area.

   Leases at the Property  generally are for terms of one year or less.  Average
rental  rates for the last five years have  increased  gradually,  with the last
increase  occurring in January of 1996. As a typical example, a one bedroom unit
rented for $340 in 1990, $350 in 1991, $385 in 1992, $400 in 1993, $485 in 1994,
and $485 in 1995.  The average  effective  annual  rental per square foot at the
Property for 1990, 1991, 1992,  1993,  1994, and 1995 was $6.22,  $6.31,  $6.47,
$6.86, $7.74, and $8.20, respectively.

   All  buildings  are wood frame with a  combination  of brick veneer and cedar
siding. The buildings are slab on grade with second and third floor units having
plywood  covered with  lightweight  concrete  floors.  Access to the upper floor
units  is by  metal  pan  exterior  stairs  leading  to a  lightweight  concrete
deck-walkway.  Balconies are  constructed  of pressure  treated wood.  Roofs are
A-frame construction with composition  shingles.  The parking lot is asphalt and
walkways are concrete. All units have either a patio or balcony.

   The Property  features two outdoor swimming pools, a tennis court, a jacuzzi,
a three-acre lake with a picnic area, and a combination office/clubhouse.  There
are two laundry  facilities on the Property.  There are a total of approximately
424 parking  spaces in a lighted  parking lot.  The Property is well  landscaped
with trees and shrubs.

   All  apartments  have  wall-to-wall  carpeting  in the living areas and vinyl
floors in the kitchen.  All kitchens are equipped with a double  stainless steel
sink, garbage disposal, frost-free refrigerator,  electric range and dishwasher.
Bathrooms  have  full  ceramic  tile  tubs.  Each  apartment  is  equipped  with
mini-blinds,  a cable television  hook-up,  an individually  controlled electric
forced warm air furnace with central air  conditioning and an electric hot water
heater.

   There are a number of variations in the interior finish of the units.  All of
the 104 upper level units feature a vaulted  ceiling.  Approximately  26% of the
units  have  washer  and  dryer   connections.   Fireplaces   are  contained  in
approximately  21% of the units.  Each of these additional  amenities  carries a
premium to the basic rental rates.  Additional  rent is also obtained from those
units which feature a pool or lake view. The owner of the Property supplies cold
water, sewer, common-area electric service and trash collection. The tenants pay
for their electric service and cable television.

   Competition for the Property  includes other garden  apartment  properties in
the area. There are at least six apartment  complexes in the neighborhood of the
Property which will compete directly with the Property for tenants.  Many of the
competing properties enjoy high occupancy rates and offer locations or amenities
equal or superior to those of the Property.  Rents at the  competing  properties
are generally  equivalent to those at the Property.  Based on a recent telephone
survey,  Cornerstone  Management Group, Inc.  estimates that occupancy in nearby
competing projects now averages approximately 93%.

   According to information  provided by the seller,  physical  occupancy at the
Property  averaged  approximately  90% in 1990, 92% in 1991, 94% in 1992, 95% in
1993, and 96% in 1994. Physical occupancy averaged 95% during 1995. On March 21,
1996, the Property was 91% occupied.  Two of the occupied units are furnished to
members of the on-site  staff at reduced  rental rates and one unit is used as a
maintenance shop.

<PAGE>
   The Company  believes that the Property  historically has been generally well
run. The Company purchased the Property from a lender that obtained the Property
through  foreclosure.  The  Company  believes  that the cash  flow  difficulties
experienced  by the prior  owner  were  attributable  to the nature of the prior
owner's  debt  service  obligations,   and  that  these  factors  will  have  no
application to the Company and its proposed operation of the Property.

   The 1995 real estate tax rate  applicable  to the Property was  approximately
$1.174  per $100 of  assessed  value,  and the real  estate  taxes for 1995 were
calculated to be $89,909  (including  an additional  charge of $15 per apartment
unit  under a  community  waste  reduction  program).  The  assessed  value  was
$7,300,604.  The basis of the depreciable  residential  real property portion of
the Property (approximately $7,659,000) will be depreciated over 27.5 years on a
straight-line  basis.  The  basis  of the  personal  property  portion  will  be
depreciated in accordance with the modified  accelerated cost recovery system of
the Internal  Revenue Code (the  "Code").  Amounts to be spent by the Company on
repairs and  improvements  will be treated for tax  purposes as permitted by the
Code based upon the nature of the expenditures.

                          GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA

   On April 7, 1995, effective April 1, 1995, the Company purchased the Sterling
Pointe Apartments, a 299-unit apartment complex having an address of 3822 Mizell
Road, Greensboro,  North Carolina (the "Property").  The Company has changed the
name of the Property to "Wind Lake Apartments."

   The Company  purchased the Property from a seller which is unaffiliated  with
the Company, the Advisor and their Affiliates. The purchase price was $8,775,000
(including  $15,000 of the seller's closing costs),  all of which was ultimately
paid from the proceeds of the Offering.  On an interim basis,  $4,500,000 of the
total funds needed to acquire the property was borrowed  under an unsecured line
of credit.  The borrowed  amount was repaid in April,  1995 from  proceeds  from
sales of Shares.  Title to the  Property  was conveyed to the Company by limited
warranty deed.

   Location.  The  following  is based in part on  information  provided  by the
Greensboro Chamber of Commerce.  The  Greensboro-Winston/Salem-Highpoint  MSA, a
seven county area,  currently has a population  in excess of 1.1 million  people
and has  grown  in  excess  of 19%  over the past 10  years.  Steady  growth  in
population is expected through 2010.

   In 1994,  1,453 jobs were created by firms new to Greensboro while 1,235 jobs
were created by existing firms which expanded their  operations.  Recently,  job
growth  has   increased   significantly   in  the  services   sector,   although
manufacturing  continues to represent the largest  proportion of employment,  at
29%. The unemployment rate is currently  approximately  3.5%, which is below the
national average. Principal employers in the area are R.J. Reynolds, Bauman Gray
Baptist Hospital, Sara Lee, Sears, US Air and Cone Mills.

   Description of the Property.  The Property consists of 299 studio and one and
two bedroom garden style  apartments in 16 buildings  situated on  approximately
23.7 acres of land.  Since its construction in 1985, the interiors and exteriors
of the apartments have been reasonably well maintained. The Company has expended
approximately  $180,000 in the  completion  of certain  improvements,  including
swimming  pool repair and hallway  renovation.  The  Company  believes  that the
Property is in good condition.

apartment  is  equipped  with a smoke  detector,  cable  television  hook-up and
individually  controlled  forced-air  heating and central air conditioning unit.
Nearly half of the units have a fireplace.  The owner of the  Property  supplies
cold water,  sewer and common  area  electric  service.  The tenants pay for all
other utilities, including electricity for heating/cooling, cooking and lights.

                          GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA

   On June 29, 1995,  effective June 1, 1995, the Company purchased the Edgewood
Apartments, a 212-unit apartment complex having an address of 151 Century Drive,
Greenville, South Carolina (the "Property"). The Company has changed the name of
the Property to "Magnolia Run  Apartments."  A description  of Greenville can be
found on page 37 of the Prospectus, under the heading "Polo Club Apartments."

   The Company  purchased the Property from a seller which is unaffiliated  with
the  Company,  the  Advisor  and  their  Affiliates.   The  purchase  price  was
$5,500,000,  which the Company paid  entirely from the proceeds of the Offering,
and title to the Property was conveyed to the Company by limited warranty deed.

   Location.  The Property is centrally located within the northeastern quadrant
of Greenville.  The immediate area  surrounding the Property  consists of single
family and multifamily development and office/mixed use. The property has direct
access  to  I-385  within  one  mile of the  site  and is  convenient  to  major
employers, shopping and downtown. I-85 is readily accessible from I-385.

   Description  of  the  Property.  The  Property  consists  of 212  garden  and
townhouse apartment units in 16 three-story  buildings situated on approximately
12 acres.

   Since its  construction  in 1972, the interiors of the  apartments  have been
reasonably well  maintained.  Approximately  half of the appliances are original
but are in good repair. Most of the appliances which have not been replaced have
been repainted. The Company anticipates that it will replace the majority of the
appliances in the next three years, as needed.

   The Company has repaved the parking lot and improved the  landscaping.  About
half of the  roofs  and some  exterior  trim  needed  replacement  and have been
replaced,  while the vinyl siding is in good condition. The Company has repaired
and upgraded the leasing  office and club  facility for  residents.  Other minor
improvements  designed to improve the Property's  appeal to prospective  tenants
have been  completed.  The  Company  has spent  approximately  $582,000  for the
foregoing  improvements.  The  Company  believes  that the  Property  is in good
condition.

   The units provide for a combined total of 210,440 square feet of net rentable
area.

   Leases at the Property  generally are for terms of one year or less.  Average
rental  rates for the last five years have  increased  gradually,  with the last
increase occurring in February of 1996. As a typical example, a one bedroom unit
rented for $340 in 1991,  $340 in 1992,  $350 in 1993, $350 in 1994, and $390 in
1995.  The average  effective  annual rental per square foot at the Property for
1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995 was $4.86,  $5.09,  $5.26,  $5.52, $5.70,
and $6.32, respectively.

   The  buildings  are wood  frame on block  foundation  with crawl  space.  The
exteriors  are covered  with vinyl  siding,  and roofs are pitched  with asphalt
shingles.  Windows  are single  hung with  aluminum  frames.  The parking lot is
asphalt and walkways are concrete. All units have either a patio or balcony.

   The  Property  features an outdoor  swimming  pool,  two tennis  courts and a
combination   office/clubhouse.   The  Property  also  has  centralized  laundry
facilities in addition to washer/dryer  hookups in the larger units. There are a
total of approximately 252 parking spaces in a lighted parking lot. The property
is adequately landscaped with mature trees and shrubs.

   All  apartments  have  wall-to-wall  carpeting  in the living areas and vinyl
floors  in  the  kitchen  and  bath.   All   kitchens   are   equipped   with  a
refrigerator/freezer,  electric range and oven, dishwasher and garbage disposal.
Each  apartment is equipped with a smoke  detector and  individually  controlled
forced-air heating and central air conditioning unit. Eight of the units contain
fireplaces  and 64 contain  built-in china  cabinets.  The owner of the Property
supplies cold water, sewer and common-area electric service. The tenants pay for
their electric service, including heat, air conditioning, hot water, cooking and
lights.

   Competition for the Property  includes other garden  apartment  properties in
the area.  There is one apartment  complex in the immediate  neighborhood of the
Property  which will compete  directly  with the Property for tenants,  and many
others within one mile.  Many of the competing  properties  enjoy high occupancy
rates  and  offer  locations  or  amenities  equal or  superior  to those of the
Property.  Rents at the competing  properties are generally higher than those at
the Property. Based on a recent telephone survey,  Cornerstone Management Group,
Inc.  estimates  that  occupancy  in  nearby  competing  projects  now  averages
approximately 92%.

   According to information  provided by the seller,  physical  occupancy at the
Property  averaged  approximately  91% in 1990, 91% in 1991, 91% in 1992, 92% in
1993,  and 92% in 1994.  Physical  occupancy  averaged 99% during 1995 (based in
part on information provided by the seller). On March 21, 1996, the Property was
95% occupied.  A majority of the residents are employed in a combination of blue
and white collar positions.  Due to the larger size of the units the majority of
the tenants are families or multi-tenant households.

   The Company believes that, except for the deferred maintenance,  the Property
historically  has been generally well run, and that the Property's good location
combined  with  the  improvements  to its  appearance  give  the  Property  good
potential for rent increases.

   The 1995 real estate tax rate  applicable  to the Property was  approximately
$1.78  per $100 of  assessed  value,  and the  real  estate  taxes  for 1995 are
expected to be $83,532.  The  assessed  value was  $4,473,000.  The basis of the
depreciable  residential  real property  portion of the Property  (approximately
$5,005,000)  will be depreciated  over 27.5 years on a straight-line  basis. The
basis of the personal  property  portion will be depreciated in accordance  with
the modified  accelerated cost recovery system of the Code.  Amounts to be spent
by the Company on repairs and  improvements  will be treated for tax purposes as
permitted by the Code based upon the nature of the expenditures.

                          GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA

   On June 21,  1995,  the Company  purchased  the  Breckinridge  Apartments,  a
236-unit  apartment  complex  having an address of 230 Pelham Road,  Greenville,
South  Carolina (the  "Property").  A description  of Greenville can be found on
page 37 of the Prospectus, under the heading "Polo Club Apartments."

   The Company  purchased the Property from a seller which is unaffiliated  with
the  Company,  the  Advisor  and  their  Affiliates.   The  purchase  price  was
$5,600,000,  which the Company paid  entirely from the proceeds of the Offering,
and title to the Property was conveyed to the Company by limited warranty deed.

                                       10

   Location.  The Property is centrally located within the northeastern quadrant
of  Greenville.   The  immediate  area  surrounding  the  Property  consists  of
multifamily development, office/mixed use and convenience shopping. The Property
has  direct  access to I-385  within one mile of the site and is  convenient  to
major employers, shopping and downtown. I-85 is readily accessible from I-385.

   Description of the Property.  Constructed  in 1973, the Property  consists of
236 garden style apartments in 16 two-story  buildings situated on approximately
12 acres.  The Property has been  substantially  rehabilitated in the past three
years  with over  $800,000  spent on  improvements  by prior  owners.  Completed
exterior  renovations include wood replacement as needed,  exterior painting and
replacement of all except two roofs. New signs have been installed,  the grounds
have been  relandscaped  and the parking lot has been  repaved.  Generally,  the
Property has excellent visibility and curb appeal.

   The interiors of the apartments  have been reasonably well maintained and are
in  relatively  good  condition.  Within the last  three  years over half of the
carpets  have  been  replaced,  over  $50,000  has been  expended  on  wallpaper
replacement,  approximately $17,000 has been spent on appliance replacement, and
at least  $115,000 has been expended on additional  interior  replacements.  The
Company has spent  approximately  $350,000 in the completion of  improvements at
the Property,  including  replacement of one roof, minor interior renovations to
the  clubhouse,  and other minor  improvements.  The Company  believes  that the
Property is in good condition.

   The Property offers four unit sizes to accommodate a variety of family sizes.

   The units provide for a combined total of  approximately  171,440 square feet
of net rentable area.

   Leases at the Property  generally are for terms of one year or less.  Average
rental  rates for the last five years have  increased  gradually,  with the last
increase  occurring in January of 1996. As a typical example, a two bedroom unit
that  rented for $335 in 1991,  rented for $389 in 1992,  $425 in 1993,  $450 in
1994, and $580 in 1995. The average  effective  annual rental per square foot at
the Property for 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995 was $4.94, $5.78, $5.83,
$5.88, $6.73, and $6.90,  respectively.  The Company and Cornerstone  Management
Group,  Inc.  believe that the  substantial  rental rate  increases  implemented
following  the  Company's   acquisition  of  the  Property  are  reasonable  and
appropriate in light of the  improvements  made to the Property,  more effective
Property management and improved marketing of the Property.  However,  there can
be no assurance that increased rental rates will not result in increased vacancy
rates.

   The buildings are wood frame on a concrete slab foundation. The exteriors are
covered  with a  combination  of brick  veneer  and wood  siding,  and roofs are
pitched with asphalt shingles. Windows are single hung with aluminum frames. The
parking lot is asphalt and  walkways  are  concrete.  All units have an exterior
entrance and a small porch.

   The Property  features a large  clubhouse,  exercise room with two saunas,  a
swimming  pool,  two tennis  courts and a rental  office.  The Property also has
centralized laundry facilities in addition to washer/dryer hookups in the larger
units.  There  are a total of  approximately  327  parking  spaces  in a lighted
parking lot.

   All  apartments  have  wall-to-wall  carpeting  in the living areas and vinyl
floors  in  the  kitchen  and  bath.   All   kitchens   are   equipped   with  a
refrigerator/freezer,  electric range and oven, dishwasher and garbage disposal.
Each  apartment is equipped with a smoke  detector and  individually  controlled

air  heating  and  central  air  conditioning  unit.  The owner of the  Property
supplies cold water, sewer and common area electric service. The tenants pay for
their electric service, including heat, air conditioning, hot water, cooking and
lights.

   Competition for the Property  includes other garden  apartment  properties in
the area.  There are at least 10 apartment  complexes in the neighborhood of the
Property which will compete directly with the Property for tenants.  Many of the
competing properties enjoy high occupancy rates and offer locations or amenities
equal or superior to those of the Property.  Rents at the  competing  properties
are  generally  lower than those at the  Property.  Based on a recent  telephone
survey,  Cornerstone  Management Group, Inc.  estimates that occupancy in nearby
competing projects now averages approximately 95%.

   According to information  provided by the seller,  physical  occupancy at the
Property  averaged  approximately  83% in 1990, 78% in 1991, 65% in 1992, 75% in
1993,  and 93% in 1994.  Physical  occupancy  averaged 95% during 1995 (based in
part on information provided by the seller). On March 21, 1996, the Property was
approximately  90%  occupied.  A majority  of the  residents  are  employed in a
combination of blue and white collar positions.

   The Company  believes that the Property  historically has been generally well
run since a  foreclosure  in 1992.  The Company  purchased  the Property  from a
lender that  obtained  the Property  through  foreclosure  in 1992.  The Company
believes  that the cash flow  difficulties  experienced  by the prior owner were
attributable  to the  nature of the debt  service  obligations,  and that  these
factors will have no  application  to the Company and its proposed  operation of
the Property.

   The 1995 real estate tax rate  applicable  to the Property was  approximately
$1.78  per $100 of  assessed  value,  and the  real  estate  taxes  for 1995 are
calculated to be $59,498.  The assessed value was  $3,344,000.  The basis of the
depreciable  residential  real property  portion of the Property  (approximately
$4,088,000)  will be depreciated  over 27.5 years on a straight-line  basis. The
basis of the personal  property  portion will be depreciated in accordance  with
the modified  accelerated cost recovery system of the Code.  Amounts to be spent
by the Company on repairs and  improvements  will be treated for tax purposes as
permitted by the Code based upon the nature of the expenditures.

                            VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA

   On July 18, 1995,  the Company  purchased  the Broad  Meadows  Apartments,  a
160-unit  apartment  complex  having an address of 5414 Catina Arch, in Virginia
Beach,  Virginia  (the  "Property").  The  Company  has  changed the name of the
Property to "Bay Watch Pointe  Apartments."  A description of Virginia Beach can
be found on Page 39 of the  Prospectus,  under the  heading  "Mayflower  Seaside
Apartments."

   The Company  purchased the Property from a seller which is unaffiliated  with
the  Company,  the  Advisor  and  their  Affiliates.   The  purchase  price  was
$3,372,525,  which the Company paid  entirely from the proceeds of the Offering,
and title to the  Property  was  conveyed to the  Company by a limited  warranty
deed.

   Location.  The  Property  is located in the  northern  portion of the City of
Virginia Beach,  off of Wesleyan Drive. The immediate  neighborhood  consists of
other multi-family housing  developments,  commercial and retail development and
some  single-family  housing.  The Property is near Cypress  Pointe,  which is a
planned  development  under  construction  which will contain shopping  centers,
single-family  housing  and an 18-hole  golf  course.  The  Property  is readily
accessible from Interstate 64 and Route 44, which is the  metropolitan  Virginia
Beach area primary limited access corridor. The Norfolk International Airport is
an approximately five-minute drive from the Property.

   Description of the Property.  The Property was built in 1972, and consists of
160 garden and townhouse style apartments located in 20 buildings on 11.7 acres.

   The Company believes that the Property has generally been well maintained and
is in good  condition,  although,  at the time of the  purchase by the  Company,
there was substantial deferred maintenance which required attention. The Company
has spent  approximately  $750,000 in the completion of certain  improvements to
the Property,  including new exterior siding, painting, new patio design and the
renovation of the clubhouse.

   The apartment  units provide for a combined  total of  approximately  145,752
square feet of net rentable space.

   Leases at the Property  generally are for terms of one year or less.  Average
rental  rates for the last five years  have  increased  gradually  with the last
increase  occurring in August of 1995. As a typical example,  a two bedroom unit
that  rented for $471 in 1991,  rented for $486 in 1992,  $500 in 1993,  $510 in
1994, and $560 in 1995. The average  effective  annual rental per square foot at
the Property for 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995 was $6.53, $6.60, $6.79,
$6.92, $7.03, and $7.22, respectively.

   The buildings are wood frame on a concrete slab foundation. The exteriors are
a  combination  of brick veneer and wood  siding.  Roofs are pitched and covered
with asphalt composition shingles. Windows are single hung with aluminum frames.
The  parking  lot is paved and  walkways  are  concrete.  Units have an exterior
entrance.

   The Property has an outdoor swimming pool, centralized laundry facilities and
a rental office. There are approximately 330 parking spaces.

   All  apartments  have  wall-to-wall  carpeting  in the living areas and vinyl
floors  in  the  kitchen  and  bath.   All   kitchens   are   equipped   with  a
refrigerator/freezer,  electric range and oven, dishwasher and garbage disposal.
Apartment  units  have cable  television  hook-ups  and  individually-controlled
heating and air conditioning  units. The owner of the Property  supplies hot and
cold water, gas heat and sewer service.  The tenant pays for electricity for air
conditioning, cooking and lights.

   Competition for the Property includes numerous other apartment  properties in
the area. There are at least five apartment complexes in the neighborhood of the
Property which will compete directly with the Property for tenants.  Many of the
competing properties enjoy high occupancy rates and offer locations or amenities
equal or superior to those of the Property.  Rents at the  competing  properties
are  generally  lower than those at the  Property.  Based on a recent  telephone
survey,  Cornerstone  Management Group, Inc.  estimates that occupancy in nearby
competing projects now averages approximately 90%.

   Based in part on information  provided by the seller,  physical  occupancy at
the  Property  averaged  89% during  1995.  Information  with respect to earlier
periods is not available.  On March 21, 1996, the Property was 83% occupied. The
tenants of the Property are employed in a variety of  white-collar,  blue-collar
and military positions.

   The  Company  purchased  the  Property  from the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC"), which acquired the property through foreclosure in May
of 1994. The Company believes that the operational  difficulties  experienced by
the owner which lost the Property in foreclosure were attributable to the nature
of such owner's debt service obligations. Because the Company intends to own the
Property on a debt-free basis, the Company believes that these factors will have
no application to the Company's proposed operation of the Property.

$1.18  per $100 of  assessed  value,  and the  real  estate  taxes  for 1995 are
calculated to be $42,860.  The assessed value was  $3,632,256.  The basis of the
depreciable  residential  real property  portion of the Property  (approximately
$2,596,845)  will be depreciated  over 27.5 years on a straight-line  basis. The
basis of the personal  property  portion will be depreciated in accordance  with
the modified  accelerated cost recovery system of the Code.  Amounts to be spent

                           HANOVER LANDING APARTMENTS
                            CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA

   On August 22,  1995,  the  Company  purchased  the Lemon Tree  Apartments,  a
192-unit  apartment complex having an address of 5920 Monroe Road, in Charlotte,
North  Carolina  (the  "Property").  The  Company  has  changed  the name of the
Property to "Hanover  Landing  Apartments."  The Company  purchased the Property
from a seller  which is  unaffiliated  with the  Company,  the Advisor and their
Affiliates.  The purchase price was $5,725,000,  which the Company paid entirely
from the proceeds of the Offering, and title to the Property was conveyed to the
Company by limited warranty deed.

   Location.  The following information was obtained from the Mecklenburg County
Chamber of Commerce.  Charlotte is the most populous city in North  Carolina and
the county seat of  Mecklenburg  County.  It is located 225 miles  northeast  of
Atlanta,  Georgia  and 350  miles  southwest  of  Washington,  D.C.  As of 1995,
Charlotte  and  Mecklenburg  County  had an  aggregate  population  in excess of
442,750,  and the greater  Charlotte  trading area,  known as  Metrolina,  had a
population in excess of 1.3 million.

   The area holds the largest supply of business  capital  between  Philadelphia
and Dallas, with $43 billion in assets held by banks headquartered in Charlotte.
Charlotte is the third largest financial center in the U.S. (behind New York and
San  Francisco)  with two of the  nation's  10 largest  banks.  First  Union and
NationsBank  have their  executive  headquarters  in  Charlotte.  One reason for
Charlotte's high employment rate is the continued  attraction of new business to
Charlotte.  Although  distribution and finance are the primary areas of activity
and growth, there are more than 950 manufacturing firms in Mecklenburg County.

   Charlotte's  geographic location and diversified economic base have accounted
for its growth as a distribution and  transportation  hub. The Charlotte area is
served by  Interstate  Highways  I-85 and I-77 and U.S.  Highways 21, 29 and 74.
Additionally,  plans are underway for construction of I-285 and the Independence
Expressway,  which  will  connect  the  major  expressways.  There  are 10 major
commercial  airlines  serving the area,  with 184 flights to and from  Charlotte
daily. The Charlotte/Douglas  International Airport is the nation's 23rd largest
airport in terms of  passenger  boardings,  and  provides  direct  and  non-stop
service to over 100 cities daily.

   The Charlotte area is home to an extensive higher education system. Charlotte
is the location of one branch of the  University of North Carolina and there are
25 other colleges and universities  within the Metrolina area. They collectively
represent an enrollment of over 90,000 persons.

   The immediate area  surrounding the Property  consists of other  multi-family
housing,  commercial and retail  development,  and  single-family  housing.  The
Property is convenient  to shopping  areas.  The Property is readily  accessible
from Interstates 85 and 77, which are the principal  interstate  highways in the
area.

   Description of the Property.  The Property was built in 1972, and consists of
192 garden style apartments  located in 16 buildings arranged in four courtyards
on approximately 14 acres.

   The Company believes that the Property has generally been well maintained and
is in good condition,  although,  at the time of purchase by the Company,  there
was some deferred  maintenance  which required  attention.  Between 1993 and the
date  of the  Company's  purchase  of  the  Property,  approximately  85% of the
apartment  interiors  were renovated with the  installation  of new carpet,  new
vinyl and new  appliances,  as  needed.  The  Company  has  spent  approximately
$390,000 in the  completion  of  improvements  to the Property,  including  roof
replacement,  exterior  wood  repair,  exterior  painting,  mansard  repair  and
clubhouse renovation.

   The apartment  units provide for a combined  total of  approximately  159,712
square feet of net rentable area.

   Leases at the Property  generally are for terms of one-year or less.  Average
rental  rates for the last five years  have  increased  gradually  with the last
increase  occurring in March,  1996. As a typical example, a 2-bedroom unit that
rented for $390 in 1991,  rented for $405 in 1992,  $405 in 1993,  $435 in 1994,
and $500 in 1995.  The average  effective  annual  rental per square foot at the
Property for 1990, 1991, 1992,  1993,  1994, and 1995 was $5.39,  $5.39,  $5.63,
$5.63, $5.63, and $6.78,  respectively.  The Company and Cornerstone  Management
Group,  Inc.  believe that the  substantial  rental rate  increases  implemented
following  the  Company's   acquisition  of  the  Property  are  reasonable  and
appropriate in light of the  improvements  made to the Property,  more effective
Property management and improved marketing of the Property.  However,  there can
be no assurance that increased rental rates will not result in increased vacancy
rates.

   The buildings are wood frame with flat roofs and mansards  covered with cedar
shake  shingles.  Exteriors are a  combination  of brick veneer and wood siding.
Windows are single-pane  aluminum frame. The parking lot is asphalt and walkways
are concrete.

   The Property has an outdoor swimming pool and four laundry  facilities,  each
consisting of four coin-operated washers and four coin-operated dryers. There is
a rental office.

   All  apartments  have  wall-to-wall  carpeting  in the living areas and vinyl
floors  in  the  kitchen  and  bath.   All   kitchens   are   equipped   with  a
refrigerator/freezer,  electric range and oven, dishwasher and garbage disposal.
Apartment  units  have cable  television  hook-ups  and  individually-controlled
heating and air conditioning  units. The owner of the Property  supplies hot and
cold water, gas heat and sewer service.  The tenant pays for electricity for air
conditioning, cooking and lights.

   Competition for the Property includes numerous other apartment  properties in
the area. There are at least five apartment complexes in the neighborhood of the
Property which will compete directly with the Property for tenants.  Many of the
competing properties enjoy high occupancy rates and offer locations or amenities
equal or superior to those of the Property.  Rents at the  competing  properties
are  generally  higher than those at the Property.  Based on a recent  telephone
survey,  Cornerstone  Management Group, Inc.  estimates that occupancy in nearby
competing projects now averages approximately 94%.

   According to information  provided by the seller,  physical  occupancy at the
Property  averaged  approximately  80% in 1990, 70% in 1991, 70% in 1992, 70% in
1993,  and 80% in 1994.  Physical  occupancy  averaged 95% during 1995 (based in
part on information  provided by the seller).  The Company believes that the low
occupancy in 1993 was largely due to numerous units being  unavailable  for rent
because of  renovations  being made  throughout the year. On March 21, 1996, the
Property was 94% occupied. The tenants of the Property primarily are students or
employed in a variety of white-collar and blue-collar positions.

   The Company  purchased the Property  from a former lender which  acquired the
Property by deed in lieu of foreclosure  in 1993. The Company  believes that the
operational difficulties experienced by the owner which conveyed the Property by
deed in lieu of foreclosure were attributable to the nature of

                                15
<PAGE>

such owner's debt service  obligations.  Because the Company  intends to own the
Property on a debt-free basis, the Company believes that these factors will have
no application to the Company's proposed operation of the Property.

   The 1995 real estate tax rate  applicable  to the Property was  approximately
$1.233  per $100 of  assessed  value,  and the real  estate  taxes  for 1995 are
calculated to be $55,503.  The assessed value was  $4,501,470.  The basis of the
depreciable  residential  real property  portion of the Property  (approximately
$4,923,500)  will be depreciated  over 27.5 years on a straight-line  basis. The
basis of the personal  property  portion will be depreciated in accordance  with
the modified  accelerated cost recovery system of the Code.  Amounts to be spent
by the Company on repairs and  improvements  will be treated for tax purposes as
permitted by the Code based upon the nature of the expenditures.

occupied. A majority of the residents are employed in white collar positions and
the major  employers of the Property's  residents are Sara Lee  Corporation,  US

depreciated in accordance with the modified  accelerated cost recovery system of
the Internal  Revenue Code (the  "Code").  Amounts to be spent by the Company on
repairs and  improvements  will be treated for tax  purposes as permitted by the
Code based upon the nature of the expenditures.

   The apartment  units provide a combined  total of 158,028  square feet of net
rentable area.

   Leases at the Property  generally are for terms of one year or less.  Average
rental  rates for the last five years have  gradually  increased,  with the last
increase  occurring  in April  of 1995.  As an  example,  rent on a two  bedroom
standard unit was $520 in 1992, $570 in 1993, $575 in 1994 and $640 in 1995. The
average  effective annual rental per square foot at the Property for 1990, 1991,
1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995 was $6.24,  $6.24,  $6.36,  $6.96,  $7.08, and $7.55,
respectively.  The Company and Cornerstone  Management  Group, Inc. believe that
the  substantial  rental rate  increases  implemented  following  the  Company's
acquisition  of the Property are  reasonable  and  appropriate  in light of more
effective  Property  management  and  improved  marketing of the  Property.  The
Company also believes that the  completion of its planned  repairs may also help
support the rent  increases.  However,  there can be no assurance that increased
rental rates will not result in increased vacancy rates.

   The buildings are of wood frame construction.  Roofs are "A" type and consist
of plywood  sheathing beneath tar, felt and fiberglass  shingles.  All buildings
have gutters and downspouts.  The exteriors are either wood or masonite lapboard
siding.  Windows  are double  pane,  doubled  glazed  with  aluminum  frames and
screens.

   The Property's common areas include a clubhouse and leasing office, a laundry
room, a swimming pool and two tennis courts. There is ample paved parking.

   There are at least  eight  properties  in the area  which  compete  with Glen
Eagles.  All of these properties are of similar age and construction.  Rents are
generally at the same level as or above those at Glen Eagles.  Based on a recent

1993,  and 93% in 1994.  Physical  occupancy  averaged 97% during 1995 (based in

                           WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA

   On November 9, 1995,  effective  November 1, 1995, the Company  purchased the
Summer Hill Apartments, a 176-unit apartment complex having an address of 2019-E
Fall Drive, Wilmington, North Carolina (the "Property"). The Company has changed
the name of the Property to "Osprey Landing  Apartments." The Company  purchased
the Property from a seller which is unaffiliated  with the Company,  the Advisor
and  their  Affiliates.  The  purchase  price was  $4,375,000,  all of which was
ultimately  paid  with  proceeds  of the  Offering.  Title to the  Property  was
conveyed to the Company by limited warranty deed.

   Location.  For a description of the greater Wilmington,  North Carolina area,
see "Wimbledon Chase Apartments" on pages 44 and 45 of the Prospectus.

   The Property is centrally  located within the city limits of Wilmington.  The
immediate area  surrounding the Property  consists  principally of single family
and multi-family development. The Property is readily accessible from Interstate
40 and from other major traffic arteries in the area. The Property provides easy
access  to major  shopping  centers  in the  area,  such as Long  Leaf  Mall and
Independence Mall, and to downtown Wilmington and Carolina Beach.

   The Property is located directly across the street from Greenfield Lake. This
location  offers a degree of privacy  and  seclusion  as a result of the natural
park areas and jogging trails surrounding the lake. The Property is located less
than two miles from the New Hanover Regional Medical Center and numerous medical
office  facilities in the area. The Property also is in close  proximity to many
employment centers.

   Description of the Property.  The Property consists of 176 one, two and three
bedroom townhouse apartments in 24 two-story buildings situated on approximately
13 acres of land. The Property was constructed in 1973.

   The Company  believes  that the  Property  is  generally  in good  condition.
Approximately  $528,000  has  been  budgeted  by the  Company  for  repairs  and

upgrading  and  clubhouse   renovation.   To  date,  the  Company  has  expended
approximately $278,000 of the budgeted amount.

 </TABLE>
   The apartment  units provide a combined  total of 172,720  square feet of net
rentable area.

   Leases at the Property  generally are for terms of one year or less.  Average
rental  rates for the last five years have  generally  increased,  with the last
increase  occurring in February of 1996. As an example,  a two bedroom apartment
rented for $330 in 1990, $335 in 1991, $355 in 1992, $375 in 1993, $382 in 1994,
and $500 in 1995.  The average  effective  annual  rental per square foot at the
Property for 1990, 1991, 1992,  1993,  1994, and 1995 was $4.02,  $4.07,  $4.32,
$4.56, $4.68, and $5.47, respectively. The Company believes that rental rates at
the Property can be increased  significantly  over historical  levels because of
more efficient management and the contemplated completion of significant planned
repairs and  improvements  at the Property.  However,  there can be no assurance
that increased rental rates will not result in increased vacancy rates.

   The buildings are all two-story  townhouses  with wood frame  construction on
concrete  slabs.  The  exteriors  are covered  with T-111  plywood  siding.  The
majority of the roofs are pitched with asphalt shingles. All of the roofs at the
Property were  originally  flat and covered with tar and gravel.  As these roofs
began to leak, they were replaced with a pitched truss roof system.  All of this
work has been  done in the past  three  years.  There  remain  four  roofs to be
completed, at a cost of approximately $13,000 per roof, which is included in the
Company's repair and improvement budget referred to above.

   The Property's  common areas include an outdoor  swimming  pool,  playground,
laundry facilities,  an office/clubhouse  and ample paved parking. The clubhouse
is in need of renovation and is not currently being used. The cost of renovation
is also included in the Company's repair and improvement budget.

   All  apartments  have  wall-to-wall  carpeting  in the living areas and vinyl
floors  in  the  kitchen  and  baths.   All  kitchens   are   equipped   with  a
refrigerator/freezer,  electric range and oven, dishwasher and garbage disposal.
There are blinds for all  windows and all units have cable  television  hookups.
Each apartment has an individually controlled heating and air conditioning unit.
One and three bedroom units are equipped  with a  pass-through  serving bar. The
owner of the Property supplies cold water, sewer and trash removal.  The tenants
pay  for all of  their  utilities  including  electricity  for  heating/cooling,
cooking, hot water and lights.

   There are at least six apartment properties in the area that compete with the
Property.  All offer similar  amenities and have rents that are generally higher
when  compared to those of the  Property.  Based on a recent  telephone  survey,
Cornerstone  Management Group, Inc. estimates that occupancy in nearby competing
projects new averages approximately 90%.

   According to information  provided by the seller,  physical  occupancy at the
Property  averaged  approximately 90% in 1991, 91% in 1992, 90% in 1993, and 91%
in  1994.  Physical  occupancy  averaged  92%  during  1995  (based  in  part on
information  provided by the seller).  On March 25,  1996,  the Property was 90%
occupied. The tenants are a mix of blue collar and white collar workers.

   The 1995 real estate tax rate  applicable  to the Property was  approximately
$1.21  per $100 of  assessed  value,  and the real  estate  taxes  for 1995 were
calculated to be $57,804.  The assessed value was  $4,777,218.  The basis of the
depreciable residential real property portion of the Property (currently

                                       20
<PAGE>
estimated  at  about  $3,981,250)  will be  depreciated  over  27.5  years  on a
straight-line  basis.  The  basis  of the  personal  property  portion  will  be
depreciated in accordance with the modified  accelerated cost recovery system of
the Code. Amounts to be spent by the Company on repairs and improvements will be
treated  for tax  purposes as  permitted  by the Code based on the nature of the
expenditures.

                                HAMPTON, VIRGINIA

   On November 10, 1995,  effective  November 1, 1995, the Company purchased the
Tradewinds  Apartments,  a  284-unit  apartment  complex  having an address of 2
Tradewinds Quay, Hampton,  Virginia (the "Property").  The Company purchased the
Property from a seller which is unaffiliated  with the Company,  the Advisor and
their  Affiliates.  The purchase price was  $10,200,000.  The purchase price was
borrowed on an interim  basis under the Unsecured  Line of Credit.  The borrowed
amount was subsequently  repaid with proceeds of the Offering in November,  1995
and January,  1996. Title to the Property was conveyed to the Company by limited
warranty deed.

   Location.  The  following  information  is  based  in part  upon  information
provided by the Hampton  Roads  Chamber of Commerce.  The Hampton  Roads area of
southeast Virginia is defined generally by twelve jurisdictions  included in the
Norfolk/Virginia  Beach/Newport  News  metropolitan  statistical  area. The area
comprises  approximately  18,000  square  miles and includes  approximately  1.4
million  people,  which  represents  over  22% of the  total  population  of the
Commonwealth of Virginia.  According to the Chamber of Commerce, the area is the
27th largest population area in the United States.

   The  region  is  served  by a major  airport,  three  major  rail  lines,  an
interstate  highway  system and the  nation's  largest  port,  making the region
accessible to all parts of the United States and overseas markets. Interstate 64
is  the  major  traffic  artery  in  the  area.  Richmond,  the  capital  of the
Commonwealth of Virginia,  is approximately 100 miles west of Hampton Roads. The
area's airport,  Norfolk  International  Airport,  is the largest airport in the
region, with 200 direct flights to and from 40 major cities, serving 2.5 million
passengers a year.  There is also a second airport on the peninsula known as the
Newport News/ Williamsburg International Airport.

   The  overall  economy  of the  region is  diversified,  with  major  economic
activity in the  shipbuilding  and  port-related  areas.  Other major employment
activities   include    agribusiness,    defense   contracting,    distribution,
manufacturing and research and development.  The federal  government  provides a
stimulus of  approximately  $5 billion per year into the local  economy  through
military spending and ancillary  business  activities.  Direct military spending
through the four major branches of the armed services,  the Coast Guard and NASA
greatly  impacts  the  region,  as do the  activities  of  defense  contractors,
engineers,  scientists,  technicians and research and development  firms serving
the military complex.  The region's largest employer is the federal  government,
with 265,000 workers.

   The region has generally  benefitted  from the recent military base closings,
as personnel from other  installations have been relocated to the region.  Army,
Navy and Air Force bases employ more than 140,000 military  personnel and 56,000
civilians. The military accounts for approximately 17% of area employment.

   The Property is located off of Newton Road in Hampton,  Virginia. The general
area consists of other multi-family  housing,  commercial and retail development
and single  family  housing.  The  immediate  area  surrounding  the Property is
occupied by Langley  Research and  Development  Park and Hampton Roads  Business
Center. The Hampton Roads Business Center is the proposed future home to Gateway
2000, a national computer company with approximately 800 employees. This company
is expected to move its headquarters to Hampton in 1996.

   The Property is convenient to many employment centers,  shopping  facilities,
schools and transportation.  The Property is within a mile and a half of Langley
Air Force Base and within a mile of NASA's Research Center.  It is also near the
new Sentara Medical Facility. The Property is readily accessible from Interstate
64. The Property is generally located in a transitional area between the densely
populated older section of Hampton and new bedroom communities just to the north
in Poquoson County and York County.

                            CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA

   On November 9, 1995,  effective  November 1, 1995, the Company  purchased The
Lake  Apartments,  a  358-unit  apartment  complex  having  an  address  of 5417
Albemarle  Road,  Charlotte,  North Carolina (the  "Property").  The Company has
changed  the name of the  Property to  "Sailboat  Bay  Apartments."  The Company
purchased the Property from a seller which is unaffiliated with the Company, the
Advisor and their Affiliates. The purchase price was $9,100,000. Of such amount,
$2,850,000  was paid in cash at closing from the proceeds of the  Offering.  The
balance of $6,250,000  was borrowed funds obtained on an interim basis under the
Company's Unsecured Line of Credit. This borrowed amount was subsequently repaid
in  November,  1995 with  proceeds of the  Offering.  Title to the  Property was
conveyed to the Company by limited warranty deed.

   The apartment  units provide a combined  total of 324,465  square feet of net
rentable area.

   Leases at the Property  generally are for terms of one year or less.  Average
rental  rates  for the last five  years  have  generally  remained  constant  or
decreased,  until the Company  acquired the Property and  increased  the rent in
December of 1995. As an example, a studio apartment rented for $365 in 1990,

                                       23
<PAGE>
$365 in 1991,  $365 in 1992,  $299 in 1993,  $299 in 1994, and $425 in 1995. The
average  effective annual rental per square foot at the Property for 1990, 1991,
1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995 was $5.63,  $5.90,  $5.90,  $5.69,  $5.68, and $6.67,
respectively.  The average rental rates declined in 1994 and 1995 as a result of
deferred  maintenance at the Property and general market conditions in the area.
The  Company  believes  that  rental  rates  at the  Property  can be  increased
significantly  over  historical  levels  because of more  efficient  management,
contemplated  completion of significant  planned repairs and improvements at the
Property and improved market conditions. However, there can be no assurance that
increased rental rates will not result in increased vacancy rates.

   The buildings are wood frame on concrete slabs. Roofs are pitched and covered
with composition shingles.  Exteriors are a combination of brick veneer and wood
siding.

   The Property's common areas include an outdoor swimming pool, sand volleyball
court,  tennis  courts,  laundry  facilities  and a  spacious  clubhouse  with a
racquetball court,  exercise room and rental office.  There is also a small lake
on site. There is ample paved parking.

   All apartments  have  wall-to-wall  carpeting in the living areas,  and vinyl
floors in the kitchen  and baths.  All units have cable  television  hookups and
individually  controlled heating and air conditioning  systems. All kitchens are
equipped with a  refrigerator/freezer,  electric range and oven,  dishwasher and
garbage disposal.  The owner of the Property supplies cold water,  sewer service
and  trash  removal.  The  tenants  pay for all of  their  utilities,  including
electricity for heating/cooling, cooking, hot water and lights.

   Within  approximately  the  last  two  years,  the  former  owners  partially
renovated  26 units.  The  renovations  included  new  dishwashers,  ranges  and
refrigerators.  In addition,  46 units received new  appliances,  new carpet and
reconditioned  cabinets.  The  total  expenditures  by  the  former  owner  were
approximately $150,000.

   There are at least six  apartment  properties  in the area which compete with
the  Property.  All offer  similar  amenities  and have rents that are generally
equal to or above those of the  Property.  Based on a recent  telephone  survey,
Cornerstone  Management Group, Inc. estimates that occupancy in nearby competing
projects now averages approximately 93%.

   According to information  provided by the seller,  physical  occupancy at the
Property  averaged  approximately 92% in 1991, 90% in 1992, 81% in 1993, and 84%
in  1994.  Physical  occupancy  averaged  85%  during  1995  (based  in  part on
information  provided by the seller).  On March 21,  1996,  the Property was 75%
occupied.  The  Company  believes  that the  recent  decrease  in the  Company's
occupancy is temporary in nature,  and due to a combination of an elimination of
tenants deemed  unqualified and the need to relocate tenants as improvements are
made to apartment  units.  The  residents at the Property are a mixture of white
collar and blue collar workers and students.

   The 1995 real estate tax rate  applicable  to the Property was  approximately
$1.34  per $100 of  assessed  value,  and the real  estate  taxes  for 1995 were
calculated  to be $108,057.  The  assessed  value was  $8,094,110.  The basis of
depreciable  residential  real  property  portion  of  the  Property  (currently
estimated  at  about  $7,098,000)  will be  depreciated  over  27.5  years  on a
straight-line  basis.  The  basis  of the  personal  property  portion  will  be
depreciated in accordance with the modified  accelerated cost recovery system of
the Code. Amounts to be spent by the Company on repairs and improvements will be
treated for tax  purposes as  permitted by the Code based upon the nature of the
expenditures.

interim  basis  under  the  Unsecured   Line  of  Credit.   This  borrowing  was
subsequently  repaid in February,  1996 with proceeds of the Offering.  Title to
the Property was conveyed to the Company by limited warranty deed.

   The  apartments  provide  a  combined  total of  188,000  square  feet of net
rentable area. The apartment  units are generally very spacious.  Almost half of
the apartment units are three-bedroom apartments, making the Property especially
suitable for families.

   Leases at the Property  generally are for terms of one year or less.  Average
rental rates for the past five years have generally increased.  As an example, a
three bedroom  apartment  rented for $495 in 1991,  $520 in 1992,  $515 in 1993,
$535 in 1994, $560 in 1995, and now rents for $690. The average effective annual
rental per square foot at the Property for 1991,  1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995 was
$5.25, $5.45, $5.49, $5.98, and $5.99 respectively.  The Company and Cornerstone
Management  Group,  Inc.  believe  that the  substantial  rental rate  increases
implemented  following the Company's  acquisition of the Property are reasonable
and  appropriate  because of more  effective  Property  management  and improved
marketing of the  Property.  In addition,  Cornerstone  Management  Group,  Inc.
believes  that  a   substantial   rental  rate  increase  is  possible  for  the
three-bedroom  units  because  of a strong  demand for units of that size in the
area.

   The buildings are wood frame on concrete  slabs.  Exteriors have vinyl siding

television  hook-up,  washer/dryer  connections and an  individually  controlled
heating  and  air   conditioning   unit.   Each  kitchen  is  equipped   with  a
refrigerator/freezer,  electric range and oven, dishwasher and garbage disposal.
The owner of the Property supplies cold water,  sewer service and trash removal.
The  tenants  pay  for  their  own  electric  usage,   which  covers  heat,  air
conditioning,  cooking,  hot water and lights.  Over the last three  years,  the
former  owners  replaced  approximately  50%  of  the  dishwashers,  ranges  and
refrigerators, representing an expenditure of approximately $85,000.

   There are at least three apartment  properties in the area which compete with
the Property.  All offer similar amenities and have rents that are generally the
same as or  higher  than  those of the  Property.  Based  on a recent  telephone
survey,  Cornerstone  Management Group, Inc.  estimates that occupancy in nearby
competing projects now averages approximately 94%.

   According to information  provided by the seller,  physical  occupancy at the
Property  averaged  approximately  94% in 1991, 95% in 1992, 97% in 1993, 89% in
1994,  and 88% in 1995.  On March 1, 1996,  the Property was 93%  occupied.  The
current  residents at the Property are employed in a variety of white-collar and
blue-collar jobs, and there are also student residents.  There is no predominant
employer.

   The seller was an investment group based in Richmond, Virginia which acquired
the Property after the predecessor owning partnership declared  bankruptcy.  The
Property was previously  managed by a management  company  unaffiliated with the
owners.  This management  company maintained the Property but was not aggressive
in marketing the Property or seeking rental increases.  In addition, a number of
tenants with  marginal  credit moved into the Property  over the last 18 months,
causing higher than normal rental delinquencies.  To remedy this situation,  the
seller  elected to evict all of the 20  marginal  tenants in  February  of 1996,
which  resulted  in  a  substantial  decline  in  occupancy.   The  Company  and
Cornerstone  Management  Group,  Inc.  believe  that  the  Property  will  enjoy
substantially  increased  occupancy  in a  relatively  short period of time as a
result of measures  they plan to  implement.  These  measures  include an active
marketing program for the Property, a more careful tenant selection process, and
the completion of planned repairs and improvements at the Property.

   The  current  residents  at  the  Property  are a mix of  students,  military
personnel and persons  employed in various  white-collar  and blue-collar  jobs.
Approximately half of the current tenants have positions in the military.

   The 1995 real estate tax rate  applicable  to the Property was  approximately
$1.188  per $100 of  assessed  value,  and the real  estate  taxes for 1995 were
calculated to be $58,224.  The assessed value was  $4,900,999.  The basis of the
depreciable  residential  real  property  portion  of  the  Property  (currently
estimated  at about  $3.9  million)  will be  depreciated  over 27.5  years on a
straight-line  basis.  The  basis  of the  personal  property  portion  will  be
depreciated in accordance with the modified  accelerated cost recovery system of
the Code. Amounts to be spent by the Company on repairs and improvements will be
treated  for tax  purposes as  permitted  by the Code based on the nature of the
expenditures. Property are a mix of students, military personnel and persons.

                          CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA

   On April 30,  1996,  effective  April 1,  1996,  the  Company  purchased  the
Longmeadow  Apartments,  a 120-unit  apartment complex having an address of 6017
Williams  Road in  Charlotte,  North  Carolina  (the  "Property").  The  Company
purchased the Property from a seller which is unaffiliated with the Company, the
Advisor and their Affiliates. The purchase price was $5,025,000. At closing, the
Company  paid the  entire  purchase  price  in cash  with  the  proceeds  of the
Offering.  Title to the Property was conveyed to the Company by limited warranty
deed.

   Location.  For a description  of the  Charlotte,  North  Carolina  area,  see
"Hanover Landing Apartments" in this Supplement.

   The Property is located on Williams Road off of Harris  Boulevard in the City
of  Charlotte.  The  immediate  area  consists  of other  multi-family  housing,
commercial and retail  development and  single-family  housing.  The Property is

apartments  located in 13 buildings on  approximately  seven acres of land.  The
Property was constructed in 1986.

   The  Company  believes  that the  Property  has been well  maintained  and is
generally in good  condition.  However,  the Company has budgeted  approximately
$60,000  for  repairs  and   improvements,   including   painting  and  exterior
renovations.

</TABLE>  

   The  apartments  provide  a  combined  total of  104,000  square  feet of net
rentable area.

   Leases  at the  Property  are for terms of one year or less.  Average  rental
rates for the past five years have generally remained constant, with some recent
increase.  As an example,  a two bedroom,  two bath apartment rented for $520 in
1991,  $520 in 1992,  $520 in 1993,  $520 in 1994, and $570 in 1995. The average
effective  annual rental per square foot at the Property for 1991,  1992,  1993,
1994, and 1995, was $7.44, $7.44, $7.44, $7.44, and $8.16, respectively.

   The  buildings  are wood frame  construction  on  concrete  slabs.  Roofs are
pitched and covered with  composition  shingles.  Windows are aluminum with dual
panes.

   The amenities at the Property include an outdoor  swimming pool,  playground,
laundry  facilities and a combined  clubhouse and rental office.  There is ample
paved parking.

   All apartment units have wall-to wall carpeting in the living areas and vinyl
floors in the kitchen and bath. Each unit has a cable television hook-up, washer
and dryer  connection,  miniblinds and an  individually  controlled  heating and
air-conditioning  unit. Most of the apartment units include fireplaces,  vaulted
ceilings,  bay windows and  room-sized  decks.  Each kitchen is equipped  with a
refrigerator/freezer,  electric range and oven, dishwasher and garbage disposal.
The owner of the Property supplies cold water,  sewer service and trash removal.
The  tenants  pay  for  their  own   electricity   usage,   which  covers  heat,
air-conditioning, cooking, hot water and lights.

   There are at least five  apartment  properties in the area which compete with
the  Property.  All offer  similar  amenities  and have rents that are generally
higher when  compared with those of the  Property.  Based on a recent  telephone
survey,  Cornerstone  Management Group, Inc.  estimates that occupancy in nearby
competing projects now averages approximately 95%.

   The seller is a limited  partnership  which  originally built the Property in
1986. Approximately two years ago, the seller filed for protection under Chapter
11 of the  Bankruptcy  Code.  In the  opinion  of the  Company  and  Cornerstone
Management Group, Inc., the operating difficulties encountered by the Seller are
attributable  to excessive  mortgage debt and the absence of needed  partnership
capital.  Since the Company expects to own the Property on a debt-free basis and
plans  to  improve  management  and  marketing   activities,   the  Company  and
Cornerstone Management Group, Inc. believe that the difficulties  encountered by
the seller will not be similarly encountered by the Company.

   According to information  provided by the seller,  physical  occupancy at the
Property  averaged  approximately  95% in 1991, 95% in 1992, 96% in 1993, 96% in
1994,  and 97% in 1995.  On May 21, 1996,  the Property  was 97%  occupied.  The
tenants are a mix of white-collar  and blue-collar  workers and students.  Major
employers  of  tenants  include  IBM and the  University  of North  Carolina  at
Charlotte.

   The 1995 real estate tax rate  applicable  to the Property was  approximately
$1.233  per $100 of  assessed  value,  and the real  estate  taxes for 1995 were
calculated to be $47,315.  The assessed value was  $3,600,510.  The basis of the
depreciable  residential  real  property  portion  of  the  Property  (currently
estimated at about $4,230,000) will be depreciated over 27.5 years on a straight
line basis. The basis of

                                       32

the  personal  property  portion  will be  depreciated  in  accordance  with the
modified  accelerated  cost recovery system of the Code.  Amounts to be spent by
the Company on repairs  and  improvements  will be treated  for tax  purposes as
permitted by the Code based on the nature of the expenditures.

                             TROPHY CHASE APARTMENTS
                            CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA

   On April 30,  1996,  effective  April 1,  1996,  the  Company  purchased  the
Westfield  Apartments,  a 185-unit  apartment  complex having an address of 2704
Peyton Drive outside of Charlottesville,  Virginia (the "Property"). The Company
has renamed the Property the "Trophy Chase  Apartments."  The purchase price was
$3,710,000.  At closing,  the entire  purchase  price was paid in cash using the
proceeds of the  Offering.  Title of the Property was conveyed to the Company by
limited warranty deed.

   The Company purchased the Property from a limited  partnership in which Glade
M. Knight,  an Affiliate of the  Advisor,  served as a co-general  partner.  The
other  general  partner is an affiliate of a major  investment  banking  firm. A
company owned and controlled by Mr. Knight also managed the Property since 1983.
All of the  distributable  cash  received  from the  Company  as a result of the
purchase will be distributed to the limited  partners of the seller as a partial
return of their equity.  Mr. Knight, in his capacity as a general partner of the
seller,  will not  receive  any cash from the  proceeds  of the sale.  The other
general  partner,  which  effectively  represents  the  interests of the limited
partners  of the  seller,  had  reached a business  decision  to  terminate  its
activities in the real estate industry.  In addition,  the other general partner
had  determined  that,  as a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986,  the  limited
partners  of the  seller  had  maximized  the value of their  investment  in the
Property.

   Pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company, the purchase from an Affiliate must be
approved by a majority of the Company's Independent Directors.  The purchase was
approved by  unanimous  vote of such  Independent  Directors.  The Company  also
obtained an independent  appraisal and engineering report in accordance with its
standard practice and Bylaws.  The appraised value was in excess of the purchase
price of the Property.

   Location.  The  following  information  is  based  in part  upon  information
provided by the Charlottesville  Chamber of Commerce. The Property is located in
Virginia,   within  Albemarle   County,  in  close  proximity  to  the  City  of
Charlottesville.  The greater Charlottesville metropolitan area has a population
of approximately  130,000.  Growth has been steady since the 1970's,  and steady
growth is expected to continue throughout the 1990's. Charlottesville is located
approximately  70 miles  northwest of Richmond,  Virginia and  approximately  95
miles southwest of Washington, D.C.

   The Charlottesville area has a diverse economy. However, the largest employer
in the area is the  University  of  Virginia,  which  has  approximately  10,500
employees.  The University of Virginia was designed by Thomas  Jefferson in 1815
and  has  grown  into  one  of  the  largest  colleges  in  Virginia,   with  an
undergraduate  program as well as graduate schools in law,  business,  medicine,
engineering,  commerce  and  education.  There are over  20,000  students at the
school. The University of Virginia was responsible for bringing close to 480,000
visitors to the area during 1992, whose spending totaled almost $44 million.

   The Property is located in the northern portion of the metropolitan area. The
immediate  area consists of extensive  commercial  and retail  development.  The
Property is readily  accessible  from U.S.  Route 29, which  provides  access to
Interstate 64, the major interstate highway in the area.

   Description  of the  Property.  The  Property  consists  of 185  garden-style
apartments in 9 buildings on  approximately  7.5 acres of land. The Property was
constructed in two phases in 1969 and 1970.

   Management  believes  that the  Property has been well  maintained  and is in
generally  good  condition.  However,  the  Company has  budgeted  approximately
$552,000  for repairs and  improvements,  including  office  renovation,  siding
replacement and interior renovations.

   The buildings  are of wood frame  construction,  with a combination  of brick
veneer and white aluminum  siding on either concrete slabs or concrete and block
foundations.  In one  phase,  roofs are  pitched  and  covered  with  fiberglass
shingles,  and in the  other  phase  are flat with  rubber  membrane  surfacing.
Windows are single pane with aluminum frames.

   The  amenities  at the  Property  include  two  outdoors  swimming  pools,  a
sunbathing area, a clubhouse and laundry facilities.

   All apartment units have wall-to-wall carpeting in the living areas and vinyl

                           MEADOW CREEK APARTMENTS
                          PINEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA

   On May 31, 1996,  effective  June 1, 1996,  the Company  purchased the Meadow
Creek Apartments, a 250-unit apartment complex having an address of 12821 Meadow
Creek Lane in Pineville, North Carolina (the "Property").

   The Company  purchased the Property from a seller which is unaffiliated  with
the  Company,  the  Advisor,  and  their  Affiliates.  The  purchase  price  was
$11,100,000.  At closing,  the entire  purchase price was borrowed on an interim
basis under the Unsecured Line of Credit.  Title to the Property was conveyed to
the Company by limited warranty deed.

   Location.  Pineville  is a  suburb  located  southeast  of  Charlotte,  North
Carolina.  For a description of the greater Charlotte,  North Carolina area, see
"Hanover Landing Apartments" in this Supplement.

   Southeast Charlotte is one of the more popular  residential  locations in the
Charlotte area. Historically,  most growth in the Charlotte area has been to the
south of the city. At one time,  Highway 51 represented a southern  boundary for
growth.  However, in the last ten years, growth has continued beyond Highway 51.
Such growth has been  encouraged by substantial  major road  improvements in the
area,  including widening of Highway 51 to a four-lane highway,  and the partial
completion of Interstate 485, the Charlotte Beltway.

   One of the more significant  economic  elements in the growth in the southern
area of Charlotte was the  construction of Carolina Place Mall,  which comprises
1,200,000  square  feet.  This mall,  completed in 1991,  has Belk's,  JCPenney,
Dillard's  and Hecht's as its anchors.  The mall is located  approximately  five
miles from the Property.

   Residential growth in the area has also been vigorous.  The area southeast of
Charlotte has the largest number of new apartments under  construction,  as well
as some of the more affluent neighborhoods in the region,  including Piper Glen,
Providence   Country  Club  and  Ballantyne.   Ballantyne  is  an  approximately
2,000-acre mixed used development  including high-end  single-family  housing, a
country  club,  and retail and corporate  office sites.  There is an entrance to
Ballantyne approximately 1.5 miles from the Property.

   The immediate area  surrounding the Property  consists of other  multi-family
housing,  commercial  and retail  development  and  single-family  housing.  The
Property is located near major shopping, dining and entertainment.  The Property
is approximately one mile from Interstate 485.

   Description  of the  Property.  The  Property  consists  of 250  garden-style
apartments in 12 two-story and three-story buildings on approximately 21.8 acres
of land. The Property was constructed in 1984.

   The  Company  believes  that the  Property  has been well  maintained  and is
generally in good  condition.  However,  the Company has budgeted  approximately
$150,000 for repairs and improvements,  including roof replacement and clubhouse
renovation.

   The Property offers three unit types.  The unit mix and rents currently being

   The  apartments  provide  a  combined  total of  215,000  square  feet of net
rentable area.

   Leases  at the  Property  are for terms of one year or less.  Average  rental
rates for the past five years have  generally  increased.  As an example,  a two
bedroom  apartment  rented for $490 in 1991, $495 in 1992, $515 in 1993, $555 in
1994, and $575 in 1995. The average  effective  annual rental per square foot at
the Property for 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 was $7.12,  $7.12,  $7.41,  $7.98,
and $8.27, respectively.

   The  buildings  are wood frame  construction  with pitched roofs covered with
asphalt  shingles.  There  are  mostly  poured  concrete  foundations,  but some
buildings are  constructed on a crawl space.  The exteriors are a combination of
hardboard and brick siding. The windows are double-paned and insulated. Over the
past 18 months,  230 of the 250 apartments  have had the individual  heating and
air conditioning  units replaced.  In addition,  the Property was repainted less
than two years ago and the pool area was recently reconditioned.  Also, over the
last 18 months,  the former  owner  expended  approximately  $98,000 in exterior
improvements  including roof replacement.  About half of the roofs are new or in
otherwise excellent condition.

   The Property  features an outdoor  swimming  pool with  jacuzzi,  two lighted
tennis  courts,  a  children's  playground,  a  sauna  and  weight  room,  and a
designated car wash area. There is also a clubhouse with a rental office.  There
is ample  paved  parking  for  residents  and,  at the back of the  Property,  a
designated parking area for recreational vehicles.

   All  apartments  have  wall-to-wall  carpeting  in the living areas and vinyl
floors  in the  kitchen,  bath  and  utility  closets.  Each  unit  has a  cable
television  hook-up and an individually  controlled heating and air conditioning
unit. Each unit has a fireplace and washer/dryer connections, and some apartment
units  feature a bay window,  full size pantry and large walk-in  closets.  Each
kitchen  is  equipped  with a  refrigerator/freezer,  electric  range  and oven,
dishwasher and garbage disposal.  The owner of the Property provides cold water,
sewer service and trash removal. The tenants pay for their own electricity usage
which covers heat, air conditioning,  cooking,  hot water, and lights. The prior
owner  states  that it spent  approximately  $79,000 in carpet  replacement  and
$10,000 in appliance replacement over the last 18 months.

   There are at least six  apartment  properties  in the area which compete with
the  Property.  All offer  similar  amenities  and have rents that are generally
higher when  compared with those of the  Property.  Based on a recent  telephone
survey,  Cornerstone  Management Group, Inc.  estimates that occupancy in nearby
competing  projects  now  averages  approximately  94%.  There  are a number  of
competing  projects  now under  construction,  and  additional  construction  of
competing projects in the future is likely.

</TABLE>

   The  apartments  provide  a  combined  total of  154,000  square  feet of net
rentable area.

   The Property is subject to a Housing Assistance  Payments (HAP) Contract with
HUD, under which the owner  receives rent subsidies in exchange for  maintaining
certain  rent-restricted  apartment units. Under the HAP Contract,  the Property
must  make  available  32  apartment  units.   These  currently  consist  of  12
one-bedroom, one-bath units (current rent of $427), and 20 two-bedroom, one-bath
units (current rent of $497).  The current rents are $23 and $33,  respectively,
below market rents for similar  units.  The HAP Contract  expires on January 31,
1998, and the Company does not plan to seek its renewal.

   Leases  at the  Property  are for terms of one year or less.  Average  rental
rates for the past five years have generally  increased.  However,  rental rates
decreased in 1995. The Company and Cornerstone  Management  Group,  Inc. believe
that such  decrease  was  attributable  to  inadequate  attention  by the former
management  company  and  the  lack  of  capital,  while  the  Property  was  in
bankruptcy,  properly to maintain  the  Property.  As an example,  a one bedroom
apartment (with fireplace)  rented for $383 in 1991, $393 in 1992, $425 in 1993,
$467 in 1994, and $413 in 1995. The average  effective  annual rental per square
foot at the Property for 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 was $6.20,  $6.36,  $6.88,
$7.56, and $6.63, respectively.

   The  buildings are wood frame  construction  on concrete slab or crawl space.
Roofs are  pitched  and  covered  with  composition  shingles.  The  windows are
aluminum with dual panes.  The exteriors are a combination of brick and masonite
siding.

   The Property has an outdoor swimming pool, two tennis courts, a fishing lake,
hiking trails,  a laundry room and a clubhouse  with a rental  office.  There is
ample paved parking for residents.

   All  apartments  have  wall-to-wall  carpeting  in the living areas and vinyl
floors in the  kitchen  and bath.  Each  apartment  unit has a cable  television
hook-up and are individually  controlled heating and air conditioning unit. Each
apartment  unit has a washer/dryer  connection  and 150 apartment  units include
microwaves.  Each kitchen has a  refrigerator/freezer,  electric range and oven,
dishwasher and garbage disposal.  The owner of the Property supplies cold water,
sewer  service and trash  removal.  The  tenants  pay for their own  electricity
usage, which includes heat, air conditioning, cooking, hot water and lights.

   There are at least four  apartment  properties in the area which compete with
the  Property.  All offer  similar  amenities  and have rents that are generally
higher when  compared with those of the  Property.  Based on a recent  telephone
survey,  Cornerstone  Management Group, Inc.  estimates that occupancy in nearby
competing projects now averages approximately 93%.

   According to information  provided by the seller,  physical  occupancy at the
Property  averaged  approximately  88% in 1991, 86% in 1992, 91% in 1993, 85% in
1994,  and 90% in 1995.  On June 7, 1996,  the  Property was 90%  occupied.  The
tenants  are a  mix  of  white-collar  and  blue-collar  workers  and  students.
According  to tenant  files,  at the time of the  Company's  acquisition  of the
Property,  over 40% of the tenants' household incomes were in excess of $35,000.
The major  employers of the tenants  include  Philip  Morris,  UNC Charlotte and
Cabarras Memorial Hospital.

   The seller was a North Carolina  limited  partnership  which originally built
the Property. The seller filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code approximately two years ago. During the bankruptcy period, the Property was
managed by at least  three  different  management  companies.  In the opinion of
Cornerstone  Management  Group,  Inc.,  the  management  by these  companies was
substandard.  However,  Cornerstone Management Group, Inc. does not believe that
any problems associated with the operation of the Property cannot be remedied by
new management.  In addition, the Company and Cornerstone Management Group, Inc.
believe  that the  prior  bankruptcy  was  largely a result  of  excessive  debt
encumbering  the  Property  and the lack of  partnership  capital of the seller.
Since the

                                       39

Company  intends  to  own  and  operate  the  Property  on  a  debt-free  basis,
Cornerstone  Management  Group,  Inc.  and the Company do not believe that these
factors will be relevant to the  Company's  proposed  ownership and operation of
the Property.

   The 1995 real estate tax rate  applicable  to the Property was  approximately
$1.005  per $100 of  assessed  value,  and the real  estate  taxes for 1995 were
calculated to be $34,307.  The assessed value was  $3,413,680.  The basis of the
depreciable  residential  real  property  portion  of  the  Property  (currently
estimated at about $2,480,000) will be depreciated over 27.5 years on a straight
line basis.  The basis of the personal  property  portion will be depreciated in
accordance  with the  modified  accelerated  cost  recovery  system of the Code.
Amounts to be spent by the Company on repairs and  improvements  will be treated
for  tax  purposes  as  permitted  by  the  Code  based  on  the  nature  of the
expenditures.

   The  apartments  provide  a  combined  total of  192,000  square  feet of net
rentable area.

   Leases  at the  Property  are for terms of one year or less.  Average  rental
rates for the past five years have  generally  increased.  As an example,  a two
bedroom  apartment  rented for $487 in 1991, $510 in 1992, $565 in 1993, $640 in
1994, and $655 in 1995. The average  effective  annual rental per square foot at
the Property for 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 was $6.39,  $6.69,  $7.41,  $8.40,
and $8.59, respectively.

   The  buildings are wood frame  construction  on concrete slab or crawl space.
Roofs are  pitched  and  covered  with  composition  shingles.  The  windows are
aluminum with dual panes.  The exteriors are a combination of brick and masonite
siding.  The  Property  has an  outdoor  swimming  pool,  two tennis  courts,  a
playground,  a laundry room and a clubhouse with a rental office. There is ample
paved parking for residents.

   All apartment units have wall-to-wall carpeting in the living areas and vinyl
floors  in the  kitchen  and  bath.  Each  unit has a fire  extinguisher,  cable
television hook-up, and an individually controlling heating and air conditioning
unit.  All  top-floor   units  have  a  fireplace.   All  apartment  units  have
washer-dryer connections,  mini blinds, vertical blinds, and a patio or balcony.
Each kitchen is equipped with a microwave, refrigerator/freezer,  electric range
and oven,  dishwasher and garbage  disposal.  The owner of the Property supplies
cold  water,  sewer  service  and trash  removal.  The tenants pay for their own
electricity usage, which includes,  heat, air conditioning,  cooking,  hot water
and lights.

   There are at least four  apartment  properties in the area which compete with
the  Property.  All offer  similar  amenities  and have rents that are generally
slightly  higher when  compared  with those of the  Property.  Based on a recent
telephone survey, Cornerstone Management Group, Inc. estimates that occupancy in
nearby competing projects now averages approximately 94%.

   According to information  provided by the Seller,  physical  occupancy at the
Property  averaged  approximately 96% in 1991, 95% 1992, 94% 1993, 98% 1994, and
93% in 1995. On June 7, 1996,  the Property was 89% occupied.  The tenants are a
mix of white collar and blue collar  workers and  students.  According to tenant
files,  at the time of the Company's  acquisition of the Property,  over half of
the tenants' household incomes were in excess $40,000.

   The seller was a North Carolina  limited  partnership  which originally built
the Property. The seller filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code approximately two years ago. During the bankruptcy period, the Property was
managed by at least  three  different  management  companies.  In the opinion of
Cornerstone  Management  Group,  Inc.,  the  management  by these  companies was
substandard.  However,  Cornerstone Management Group, Inc. does not believe that
any problems associated with the operation of the Property cannot be remedied by
new management.  In addition, the Company and Cornerstone Management Group, Inc.
believe  that the  prior  bankruptcy  was  largely a result  of  excessive  debt
encumbering  the  Property  and the lack of  partnership  capital of the seller.
Since the Company intends to own and operate the Property on a debt-free  basis,
Cornerstone  Management  Group,  Inc.  and the Company do not believe that these
factors will be relevant to the  Company's  proposed  ownership and operation of
the Property.

   The 1995 real estate tax rate  applicable  to the Property was  approximately
$1.6227 per $100 of  assessed  value,  and the real  estate  taxes for 1995 were
calculated to be $108,883.  The assessed value was $6,818,200.  The basis of the
depreciable  residential  real  property  portion  of  the  Property  (currently
estimated at about $5,982,000) will be depreciated over 27.5 years on a straight
line basis.  The basis of the personal  property  portion will be depreciated in
accordance  with the  modified  accelerated  cost  recovery  system of the Code.
Amounts to be spent by the Company on repairs and  improvements  will be treated
for  tax  purposes  as  permitted  by  the  Code  based  on  the  nature  of the

                         LEXINGTON TOWERS APARTMENTS
                              RICHMOND, VIRGINIA

   The Company has entered  into a contract  to purchase  the  Lexington  Towers
Apartments,  a 197-unit  high-rise  apartment  building having an address of 102
North Fifth Street, Richmond, Virginia (the "Property").  Closing is tentatively
scheduled  for June 30,  1996.  Closing has not  occurred as of the date of this
Supplement  No. 9 and there is no  assurance  that such  closing  will occur.  A
description of Richmond, Virginia appears under "Ashley Park Apartments" in this
Supplement.

   The  seller  is  unaffiliated  with  the  Company,   the  Advisor  and  their
Affiliates.  The purchase price is $6,000,000.  At closing, the Company will pay
$500,000 in cash from the proceeds of the Offering.  The balance of $5.5 million
will be evidenced by a promissory note bearing  interest at 5.65%. The principal
amount of the promissory note and all accrued  interest is due three years after
closing.  The note will be secured  with a letter of credit  which will cost the
Company approximately 1% per year. The note will not be secured by the Property.
Title to the Property will be conveyed to the Company by limited warranty deed.

   Location.  The  Property  is  located in  downtown  Richmond,  Virginia.  The
immediate area consists of other multi-family  housing,  commercial  development
and  retail  development.  The  Property  is  in  close  proximity  to  Virginia
Commonwealth  University,  and is near to the two established  commercial  areas
known as Carytown and Shockoe Slip.

   The  Property  is in close  proximity  to  Virginia's  23-acre  Biotechnology
Research  Park,  which is under  development.  The Park is being  sponsored  and
master-leased by Virginia  Commonwealth  University to provide a common site for
public and  private  medical-oriented  biotechnology  research  and  development
facilities.  Phase I,  consisting  of  approximately  100,000  square feet,  was
recently  completed and is fully  leased.  The second and third phases are under
construction and are expected to be completed in late 1996. The facility,  which
is adjacent to the Medical College of Virginia  campus of Virginia  Commonwealth
University, is expected to impact the demand for rental housing in the area.

   The  Property is only a few blocks  from the  Richmond  Downtown  Expressway,
which provides ready access to Interstates 95 and 64. The Richmond International
Airport is approximately 15 minutes from the Property.

   Description of the Property.  The Property consists of 197 apartment units in
a single  17-story  apartment  building in the central  business  district.  The
Property was built in 1965.

   The Company  believes  that the  Property  is  generally  in good  condition.
However, the Company plans to budget approximately  $517,500 for various repairs
and improvements,  including interior renovations of apartment units, carpet and
appliance replacement,  pool renovation,  and renovation of the fitness facility
and common areas.

</TABLE>

   The  apartments  provide  a  combined  total of  107,000  square  feet of net
rentable area.

   Leases at the Property are generally  for terms of one year or less.  Average
rental rates for the past five years have gradually increased.  As an example, a
junior executive  apartment rented for $370 in 1991, $380 in 1992, $380 in 1993,
$390 in 1994, and $390 in 1995. The average  effective  annual rental per square
foot at the Property for 1991, 1992,  1993,  1994, and 1995 was $10.21,  $10.49,
$10.49, $10.78, and $10.78, respectively.

   The Property has an outdoor  swimming  pool,  a clubhouse  and exercise  room
(located on the 16th floor),  a  meeting/game  room,  a restaurant  leased to an
operator, laundry facilities on each floor, and an attached parking garage, with
approximately  111  parking  spaces  which can be  reconfigured  to  accommodate
approximately 138 vehicles. There is also 24-hour security at the Property.

   The  Company  is  planning  to convert  approximately  7,500  square  feet of
unoccupied office space on the first floor and approximately  17,500 square feet
on the 16th floor that is now being used as a clubhouse  and  exercise  facility
into new apartments.  The Company believes that an additional 10 apartment units
can be added using these spaces.

   The  building is brick  veneer over steel  frame.  There are  concrete  floor
decks.  The roof is flat  with a  modified  bitumen  rubber  sheathing,  and was
replaced within the last 12 months. Windows are single stainless steel frames.

   All apartment units have  wall-to-wall  carpeting or parquet  flooring in the
living area, and vinyl flooring in the kitchen.  Each apartment unit has a cable
television hook-up and an individually  controlled heating and  air-conditioning
unit. Each kitchen is equipped with a  refrigerator/freezer,  electric range and
oven,  dishwasher and garbage  disposal.  The owner of the Property provides all
utilities. The tenants pay for their phone and cable services.

   There are at least four  apartment  properties in the area which compete with
the  Property.  All offer  similar  amenities  and have rents that are generally
slightly  higher when  compared  with those of the  Property.  Based on a recent
telephone survey, Cornerstone Management Group, Inc. estimates that occupancy in
nearby competing projects now averages approximately 97%.

   According to information  provided by the seller,  physical  occupancy at the
Property  averaged  approximately  43% in 1991, 41% in 1992, 41% in 1993, 42% in
1994,  and 63% in 1995.  On June 1, 1996,  the  Property was 95%  occupied.  The
tenants are a mix of white-collar and blue-collar workers and students.  Many of
the current  tenants have  resided at the Property for many years,  and detailed
information  on them and their  status is not  available.  A large number of the
residents are foreign intern students at the Medical  Collage of Virginia.  Many
of the  tenants on which  current  information  is  available  are  employed  in
professional positions in engineering, medicine and education.

   The  Property  has been  managed by its  original  owner since  construction.
According to the owner, the Property historically enjoyed an excellent occupancy
rate until the owner decided to convert it to  condominiums  approximately  four
years ago.  Following such decision,  the occupancy at the Property decreased to
approximately  50%. The owner  subsequently  reversed its decision to convert to
condominiums  and  thereafter  continued  to run the  building  as an  apartment
complex. However, the occupancy at

                                       43
<PAGE>

the Property remained at approximately  50% until the fall of 1995.  Cornerstone
Management  Company,  Inc.  believes that the failure to increase  occupancy was
attributable to a passive  management style and  insufficient  on-site staff. In
the fall of 1995,  the owner  restaffed  the  Property  and  occupancy  began to
improve.

   The 1995 real estate tax rate  applicable  to the Property was  approximately
$1.445  per $100 of  assessed  value,  and the real  estate  taxes for 1995 were
calculated to be $53,393.  The assessed value was  $3,695,000.  The basis of the
depreciable  residential  real  property  portion  of  the  Property  (currently
estimated at about $2,710,000) will be depreciated over 27.5 years on a straight
line basis.  The basis of the personal  property  portion will be depreciated in
accordance  with the  modified  accelerated  cost  recovery  system of the Code.
Amounts to be spent by the Company on repairs and  improvements  will be treated
for  tax  purposes  as  permitted  by  the  Code  based  on  the  nature  of the
expenditures.

   1995 ANNUAL MEETING OF  SHAREHOLDERS.  At the Annual Meeting of  Shareholders
held on April 26,  1995,  each  person  previously  serving  as a  Director  was
reelected  for an  additional  one-year  term.  In  addition,  the  Shareholders
approved   amendments  to  the  Company's   Amended  and  Restated  Articles  of
Incorporation  and Bylaws that would  provide for the  election of  Directors to
staggered  terms of office  beginning with the election of Directors at the 1996
Annual Meeting of Shareholders; approved amendments to the Company's Bylaws that
would  reduce the vote  required to elect  Directors to a plurality of the votes
cast by the  Shares  entitled  to vote in the  election  at a meeting at which a
quorum is present;  and approved  amendments to the Company's  Bylaws that would
establish  certain  procedures to be followed by Shareholders  when (i) bringing
business  before  the  Annual  Meeting  of  Shareholders   and  (ii)  nominating
candidates  for election to the Board of Directors.  Additional  information  on
these matters is provided below.

   Staggered  Terms for  Directors.  Beginning  at the 1996  Annual  Meeting  of
Shareholders,  the Board of Directors will be divided into three staggered terms
of office.

   The  adoption of  staggered  terms for the  Directors  is  evidenced by a new
Article VII in the  Company's  Amended and  Restated  Articles of  Incorporation
which reads as follows:

                                 ARTICLE VII
                              BOARD OF DIRECTORS

  Commencing  with  the  1996  Annual  Meeting  of  Shareholders,  the  Board of
Directors will be divided into three  classes,  denominated as Class I, Class II
and Class III,  each as nearly equal in number to the other two as possible.  At
the 1996 Annual Meeting of  Shareholders,  directors of Class I shall be elected
to hold office for a term expiring at the 1997 Annual  Meeting of  Shareholders;
directors of Class II shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the
1998 Annual Meeting of Shareholders; and directors of Class III shall be elected
to hold office for a term expiring at the 1999 Annual  Meeting of  Shareholders.
At each Annual Meeting of  Shareholders  after 1996, the successors to the class
of directors  whose terms shall then expire shall be  identified as being of the
same class of  directors  they succeed and shall be elected to hold office for a
term expiring at the third succeeding  Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  When the
number of directors is changed, any newly created  directorships or any decrease
in  directorships  shall be so  apportioned  among the  classes  by the Board of
Directors as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as possible.

   In addition to the foregoing  addition to the Company's  Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation,  an essentially  identical provision was added to the
Company's Bylaws.

   These additions to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and the
Bylaws  make it more  difficult  to  change  the  composition  of the  Board  of
Directors  and  therefore  help to assure the  continuity  and  stability of the
Company's management and policies. A Board of Directors upon which

                                       44
<PAGE>
Directors  serve  staggered  three-year  terms  requires  at  least  two  annual
Shareholder  meetings  in order to effect a change in the  control of the Board.
Currently,  a change in control of the Board of  Directors  could be effected in
one Shareholder meeting.

   By stabilizing  the  composition of the Board of Directors,  the amendment is
designed  to  encourage  any person  who might  seek to  acquire  control of the
Company to consult first with the Company's  Board of Directors and to negotiate
the terms of any proposed  business  combination  or tender offer.  The Board of
Directors  believes that any takeover  attempt or business  combination in which
the Company is involved  should be thoroughly  studied by the Board of Directors
to assure that all of the Company's Shareholders are treated fairly.

   Although  neither the Board of Directors nor the management of the Company is
aware of any  actual  or  threatened  change  in  control  of the  Company,  the
amendment  serves to reduce the  vulnerability  of the Company to an unsolicited
proposal  for  the  takeover  of the  Company  that  does  not  contemplate  the
acquisition of all of the Company's  outstanding  Shares at a fair price,  or an
unsolicited  proposal  for  the  restructuring  or  sale  of all or  part of the
Company.

   The staggered  Board  provisions  will apply to every  election of Directors,
whether or not a change in the entire Board might  arguably be beneficial to the
Company and its  Shareholders  and  whether or not a majority  of the  Company's
Shareholders  believes  that  such a change  might be  desirable.  However,  the
Company believes that the amendments are necessary to protect the continuity and
stability of the Company's  management  and policies.  In addition,  the Company
believes that the amendments will aid the Board in any attempt to negotiate more
favorable terms with a potential  acquiror,  because the acquiror would be faced
with possible delay in attaining effective control of the Company and because of
the economic penalties which would be a normal consequence of such delay.

   The staggering of the terms of the members of the Board of Directors may have
the effect of "entrenching"  current management by making a change in control of
the Company more  difficult,  since at least two Annual Meetings of Shareholders
will be  required to replace a majority  of the Board of  Directors,  unless the
size of the Board is changed.  The Company  believes  that the  provision in the
Company's Bylaws  prohibiting any person from acquiring or holding,  directly or
indirectly, ownership of more than 9.8% of all of the outstanding Shares already
imposes a substantial  impediment to attempted change in control of the Company.
However,  prospective  Shareholders  should  consider the staggered terms of the
Company's Board of Directors,  and its potential effect of "entrenching" current
management, in making a decision whether or not to purchase Shares.

   Vote Required to Elect Directors.  Pursuant to a proposal adopted at the 1995
Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the vote required to elect Directors was reduced
from a majority of  outstanding  Shares to a plurality  of the votes cast by the
Shares  entitled  to vote in the  election  at a  meeting  at which a quorum  is
present.  This change was  accomplished by amending  relevant  provisions of the
Company's Bylaws.

   The amendments are intended to improve efficiency and reduce costs and delays
associated  with the annual  election of  directors.  The  Company's  management
believes that the vote required for the election of Directors  pursuant to these
amendments  is  customary  among  similar  corporations  as  evidenced  by proxy
statements,  annual reports and similar corporate filings made by other "public"
corporations.

   Procedures  for Bringing  Business  and  Nominating  Candidates  for Director
Positions.  At the 1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders,  the  Shareholders  also
approved  certain  procedures  to be  followed  by  Shareholders  when  bringing
business before the Annual Meeting of Shareholders and nominating candidates for
election  to the Board of  Directors.  These  procedures  are  described  in new
provisions added to the Company's Bylaws.

   The new provisions in the Bylaws state that a Shareholder who wishes to bring
business before an Annual Meeting of Shareholders or to nominate a candidate for
election to the Board of Directors must provide  written notice of his intention
to the  Company.  The notice must be timely and must  contain  certain  specific
information pertaining to the Shareholder's proposal.

   The precise and detailed  provisions  dealing with these  matters,  which are
contained  in the Bylaws,  are  available  without  charge  upon  request of any
Shareholder from the Company's  secretary,  S.J. Olander,  306 East Main Street,
Richmond, Virginia 23219 (804-643-1761), and any Shareholder contem-

                                       45
<PAGE>
plating bringing business before an Annual Meeting of Shareholders or nominating
a candidate for election to the Board of Directors  should refer to the relevant
Bylaws  provisions  (Sections 4.2 and 5.3 thereof).  In addition,  a copy of the
Company Bylaws, as amended, is filed as an exhibit to the Company's registration
statement,  which can be  inspected  and copied as described  under  "Additional
Information" in the Company's Prospectus.

   In general,  the new Bylaws provisions require that a Shareholder  provide to
the Company written notice of proposed  business or of a proposed  candidate for
election to the Board of  Directors so that it is received by the Company (i) on
or after  February 1 and before March 1 of the year in which the meeting will be
held,  if the  meeting is held in May,  or (ii) not less than 60 days before the
meeting if the date of the meeting is earlier than May 1 or later than May 31 in
such year.  In the case of proposed  business  (other than the  nomination  of a
candidate  for  election  as  a  Director),  the  notice  must  contain  certain
information  concerning the proposing  Shareholder and the proposed business. In
the case of the nomination of a candidate for election as a Director, the notice
must contain certain  information  concerning the proposing  Shareholder and the
proposed  candidate  for  election,  and such  notice must be  accompanied  by a
written consent of the proposed  nominee to serve as a Director if elected and a
statement from the proposed nominee to the effect that the information about him
in the notice is correct.

   The amendments  which were adopted are intended to provide  standardized  and
orderly procedures for Company governance.  The amendments require  Shareholders
who desire to bring  business  before the Company or to nominate  candidates for
election to the Board of Directors to provide timely notice of their  intentions
together with certain  information  concerning such business or such candidates.
The  Shareholders  who fail to follow any of such procedures will not have their
business or candidate brought before the Shareholders for consideration.

   The Company proposed and recommended  adoption of such procedures in light of
the  substantial  number of  Company  Shareholders,  as well as the  substantial
number of Shareholders  who actually  attended the Company's 1994 Annual Meeting
of  Shareholders.   The  procedures  are  designed  to  promote  regularity  and
orderliness  in the bringing of business  before the Company.  However,  since a
Shareholder who fails to comply with procedures will not have requested business
brought  before  the  Company,  such  procedures  could  also have the effect of
preventing proposals which might otherwise be meritorious from coming before the
Shareholders for consideration.  Prospective  Shareholders  should consider this
potential effect in evaluating their potential acquisition of Shares.

   1996 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS.  The 1996 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
of the Company was held at Terrace on the Park, 52-11 111th Street,  Queens, New
York 11368 on Tuesday,  April 23, 1996, commencing at 7:00 P.M., for the purpose
of electing  seven  Directors  to serve for the ensuing  year(s) and to transact
such other business as might properly come before the meeting.

   At a  meeting  of the Board of  Directors  on  January  25,  1996,  the Board
unanimously  approved  (Messrs.   Kirkpatrick,   Graham  and  Marcus  abstaining
therefrom)  to reduce the size of the Board to seven members and to nominate for
election at the 1996 Annual Meeting of Shareholders the following  persons,  all
currently serving as directors:  Glenn W. Bunting, Jr., Leslie A. Grandis, Glade
M. Knight,  Penelope W. Kyle,  Stanley J. Olander,  Jr., Harry S. Taubenfeld and
Martin  Zuckerbrod.  The  reduction  in the size of the Board  was based  upon a
desire to increase the efficiency with which the Board operates and generally to
conform the size of the Board with the size of the boards of  directors of other
real estate investment trusts, as determined by the Board. The reduction in size
of the Board from 10 members to seven members was effective upon the election of
the Board at the 1996  Annual  Meeting  of  Shareholders  and did not  affect or
shorten the remaining  term of any Director.  However,  in  anticipation  of the
reduction  in the  size  of the  Board  and  to  permit  the  Company  to  begin
functioning with the smaller Board as soon as possible, Mr. Kirkpatrick resigned
as a Director  effective  January 25, 1996. As stated under "New Developments --
Board of Directors" in this Supplement No. 7, Messrs. Graham and Marcus resigned
effective March 28, 1996 and April 8, 1996, respectively.

   Effective January 25, 1996, the Board of Directors  modified the compositions
of two of its three standing  committees.  The Executive  Committee  consists of
Messrs. Bunting, Knight and Zuckerbrod,

                                       46

   ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY.

   1. Compensation to Advisor and Affiliates.

   The Company has entered into certain  agreements with  Cornerstone  Advisors,
Inc.,  Cornerstone  Realty Group,  Inc. and Cornerstone  Management  Group, Inc.
(collectively,  the  "Cornerstone  Companies"),  under which those entities have
agreed to provide certain  administrative,  real estate brokerage and management
services to the Company or its properties in exchange for compensation  from the
Company.  See  "Compensation"  and  "The  Advisor  and  its  Affiliates"  in the
Prospectus.  Mr.  Knight owns all of the stock of  Cornerstone  Advisors,  Inc.,
Cornerstone Realty Group, Inc. and Cornerstone Management Group, Inc. and is the
sole director of those entities.  Mr. Olander serves as an executive  officer of
Cornerstone  Advisors,  Inc.,  Cornerstone  Realty Group,  Inc. and  Cornerstone
Management Group, Inc.

   Cornerstone  Advisors,  Inc.  earned an Asset  Management  Fee of $219,930 in
1995. Cornerstone Realty Group, Inc. earned real estate commissions  aggregating
$1,302,550  during 1995.  Cornerstone  Management  Group, Inc. was paid property
management  fees  aggregating  $1,022,998 in 1995. In addition,  the Cornerstone
Companies were paid expense  reimbursements  aggregating $1,663,206 during 1995,
most of which were for salary  reimbursements  for  persons  employed to manage,
lease and maintain the Company's various properties. Cornerstone Advisors, Inc.,
by Glade M. Knight,  its sole shareholder,  agreed to waive its asset management
fee and any related  expenses for 1994 in partial  consideration  for the Shares
that were  distributed to Mr. Knight by  Cornerstone  Realty  Advisors,  Inc. in
connection   with  the  termination  of  the  prior  advisory   agreement.   See
"Compensation"  in the Prospectus.  Cornerstone  Realty Group,  Inc. earned real

Group, Inc. was paid property  management fees aggregating  $581,520 in 1994. In

employed to manage, lease and maintain the Company's properties.

   The staffs of the individual  properties  owned by the Company were employees
of Cornerstone Management Group, Inc. through December 31, 1995. These employees
perform the leasing,  collection and maintenance functions to run the properties
on a day-to-day basis.  Effective January 1, 1996, these employees were directly
employed by the Company,  and not Cornerstone  Management Group, Inc., and there
will no longer be reimbursement for salary expenses of these employees. Instead,
such salaries will be paid directly by the Company.

   Messrs.  Zuckerbrod and Taubenfeld,  Directors of the Company, are principals
in the law firm of Zuckerbrod & Taubenfeld of  Cedarhurst,  New York,  which has
acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the Company's  acquisition of
its real  properties  since the  Company  began  operations.  This law firm will
render  additional  such  services  to the  Company  in 1996  and  will  receive
compensation for such services.

   Mr. Grandis,  who is a Director of the Company,  is a Partner in the law firm
of McGuire,  Woods, Battle & Boothe,  L.L.P., which serves as general counsel to
the Company and certain of its Affiliates.  Such  representation  is expected to
continue in 1996.

     vest in equal 1/5 portions on July 1 of each year from 1995  through  1999,
     inclusive. If the grantee ceases to be an "Employee," as defined below, for
     any  reason  other  than  death  or  permanent  disability,   the  unvested
     Restricted  Shares will revert to the Company.  For this purpose,  a person
     will be deemed to be an  "Employee"  if such  person  (1) is an  officer or
     employee of the  Company,  or (2) is an officer or employee of  Cornerstone
     Advisors,  Inc. (so long as it serves as the Advisor),  or is an officer or

     through 1998, inclusive.  The balance of the options awarded to the persons
     participating  in the  Incentive  Plan are  already  issued  in  full.  The
     issuance  of  deferred  portions  is not  subject to any other  conditions,
     including any requirement that the recipient  remains a Director or officer
     of the Company or of the Cornerstone Companies.  The exercise price for the
     two  initial  portions of the  options  granted to such  persons is $11 per
     Share. The exercise price for the subsequent  portions of the options to be
     issued will be the fair market value of the underlying  Shares at the times
     of issuance  of the  options.  The  following  table shows the  grantees of
     options  under the  Incentive  Plan as of February 24, 1996,  the number of

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

   The  following  is  management's  discussion  and  analysis of the  Company's
financial  condition  and  results  of  operations,   reflecting  the  financial
condition  at, and the  results  of  operations  for,  the  calendar  year ended
December 31, 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1996.

   The Company invests primarily in existing residential  apartment  communities
located in the  mid-Atlantic  and  southeastern  United  States.  The Company is
operated and has elected to be treated as a real investment trust ("REIT") under
the Code for federal income tax purposes,  and intends to qualify as a REIT on a
continuing basis. The Company began operations on June 1, 1993 and completed its
first  full  calendar  year of  operations  in 1994.  Changes  in the  Company's
liquidity and capital  resources reflect periodic closings of sales of Shares to
investors and periodic  acquisitions  of  properties by the Company.  Similarly,
changes in results from operations reflect increases in the rental income of the
Company's properties and the addition of properties to its asset base.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   At December 31, 1995

   There was a  significant  change in the Company's  liquidity  during the year
ended  December  31, 1995 as the Company  continued to grow.  During  1995,  the
Company  sold  7,285,683  Shares to its  investors  bringing the total number of
Shares outstanding to 12,754,331.  The total gross proceeds from the Shares sold
in 1995 were  $80,142,516  which  netted  $71,771,027  to the Company  after the
payment of selling  commissions  and other  Offering  expenses.  This raised the
total gross  capitalization of the Company from $58,264,830 at December 31, 1994
to  $138,407,346 at December 31, 1995.  Shares were sold directly  through David
Lerner  Associates,  Inc. on a "best  efforts"  basis and through the Additional
Share Option whereby Shareholders elect to purchase additional Shares with their
dividends.

   Using  proceeds  from the  sale of  Shares  and  supplemented  by  short-term
borrowings  when  necessary,  the Company  acquired 2,303  apartment units in 10
residential rental communities during 1995, as follows:

   These  acquisitions  brought  the total  number of  apartment  units owned at
year-end to 4,388.  The Company  continues  to renovate  the  properties  it has
acquired since its inception in 1993. In connection with these renovations,  the
Company capitalized  improvements of $7,106,564 in 1995,  $6,063,568 in 1994 and
$2,290,646 in 1993.  Approximately $4 million of additional capital improvements
are budgeted for 1996 on the existing  property  portfolio  which will be funded
through the sale of Shares and dividend reinvestment.

                                       50

   The Company  intends to hold all of its  properties on a totally  unleveraged
basis.  However,  the Company will continue to use its unsecured  line of credit
with a commercial  bank to facilitate  the timely  acquisition  of properties if
proceeds from the Offering are not immediately  available.  In these cases,  the
line of  credit is used to fund the  acquisition  on a  short-term  basis and is
subsequently repaid,  generally within 60 days, with proceeds from the Offering.
It is  anticipated  that any  borrowings  will be curtailed  through the sale of
additional  Shares  although  there can be no assurance  that such sales will be
sufficient  to  repay  such  borrowings.   If  the  future  sale  proceeds  were
insufficient,  the Company  could seek to extend the  maturity  dates or pay the
balance of the loans due from its rental operations or cash reserves.

   At year-end, the Company had an outstanding balance of $6,000,000 on the line
of credit.  In addition,  the Company carried a $2,300,000  non-interest-bearing
purchase  money  promissory  note.  In  January  1996,  the  Company  repaid all
outstanding notes payable with proceeds from the Offering.

   Cash and cash equivalents  totaled  $7,073,147 and $4,288,438 at December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively.  During the year the Company distributed $6,316,185
to the  Shareholders  of which  $3,906,276 was  reinvested in additional  Shares
under the terms of the Company's  Additional Share Option.  The reinvested funds
netted the  Company  $3,515,644  after  payment of selling  commissions.  Of the
amounts distributed for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, 17% and 21%,
respectively, represented a return of capital.

   The Company is operated as, and annually elects to be taxed as, a real estate
investment trust under the Code. Since inception,  the Company  distributed more
than 95% of its REIT taxable income and met the requirements of the election. As
a result,  the Company has no provision  for income taxes and thus,  there is no
effect on the Company's liquidity from liability for income taxes.

   Approximately  62% of the Shareholders  were  participating in the Additional
Share  Option as of December 31,  1995.  The Company  intends to maintain a cash
reserve  equal to 0.5% of the gross  proceeds from the sale of the Shares which,
in  addition to cash flow from  operations,  is  expected  to be  sufficient  to
satisfy  general  liquidity  requirements.  The Company is expecting to continue
with  significant  growth during 1996.  The Company plans to have monthly equity
closings in 1996,  until the  Offering is fully funded or until such time as the
Company may opt to discontinue it. It is anticipated  that the equity funds will
be invested in additional apartment communities.

   At March 31, 1996

   There was a significant change in the Company's  liquidity during the quarter
ended  March 31,  1996.  During  the  quarter,  the  Company  closed the sale to
investors of 2,814,852  shares at $11 per Share  representing  gross proceeds to
the Company of $30,963,372 and net proceeds after payment of selling commissions
of  $27,844,244.  The Company  capitalized  $2,769,660  of  improvements  to its
various properties during the quarter. It is anticipated that some $2,000,000 in
additional  capital  improvements  will be completed during the next year on the
current  portfolio.  The source to fund these improvements is from equity raised
and set aside  specifically  for the  improvements and from the expected sale of
additional Shares.

   Since  December 31, 1995,  the Company made six  acquisitions  of residential
rental  properties.  On January  31,  1996,  the  Company  acquired  The Meadows
Apartments, a 176-unit apartment community located in Asheville,  North Carolina
for $6,200,000. On March 20, 1996, effective March 1, 1996, the Company acquired
West Eagle  Green  Apartments  (formerly  known as  Scarlett  Oaks),  a 165-unit
apartment  community  located in Augusta,  Georgia for $4,000,000.  On March 29,
1996,  effective March 1, 1996, the Company acquired Ashley Park  Apartments,  a
272-unit apartment community located in Richmond,  Virginia for $12,205,000.  On
March 29,  1996,  effective  March 1, 1996,  the  Company  acquired  Arbor Trace
Apartments  (formerly Colonial Ridge), a 148-unit apartment community located in
Virginia  Beach,  Virginia for  $5,000,000.  In April 1996, the Company made two
acquisitions  as discussed in Note 5 to the unaudited  financial  statements for
the quarter ended March 31, 1996. These acquisitions brought the total number of
apartment units owned by the Company to 5,454.

   The Company  borrowed  $12,205,000  against the line of credit in conjunction
with the purchase of Ashley Park Apartments.  The Company has repaid  $4,500,000
of the  balance of the debt as of May 6, 1996 and  expects to repay the  balance
within sixty days through the additional sale of Shares. This is

                                       51
<PAGE>
consistent  with  the  Company's  long  term  business  objective  to  hold  its
properties on an  unleveraged  basis.  As of April 1, 1996, the interest rate on
the Company's unsecured line of credit is one-month LIBOR plus 160 basis points.

   Cash and cash  equivalents  totaled  $8,694,171  at March  31,  1996.  During
January 1996, the Company distributed  $2,728,443 (24.75 cents per Share) to its
Shareholders  of which  $1,622,082 was  reinvested in additional  Shares per the
terms of the Company's  Additional Share Option. The reinvested funds netted the
Company $1,459,874 after payment of selling commissions.

   While the Company is always  assessing  potential  acquisitions,  no material
commitments  existed on May 1, 1996 for the purchase of  additional  properties.
The  Company's  only  on-going  commitment  for capital  expenditures  is to the
renovation  of its existing  portfolio.  Equity funds are raised in  conjunction
with the  acquisition  of  properties  to fund these  capital  expenditures.  In
addition, the Company will acquire new properties as funds are available.

   The Company has  short-term  cash flow needs to conduct the  operation of its
properties.  The rental income generated from the properties supplies sufficient
cash to provide for the payment of these operating expenses.

   The Company's  capital resources are expected to grow with the continued sale
of its Shares and through operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   Year Ended December 31, 1995

   The results of the Company's property  operations for the year ended December
31, 1995 include the results of  operations  for the pre-1995  acquisitions  and
from the 10  properties  acquired  in 1995 since  their  respective  acquisition
dates. The increased  rental income,  expenses and net income for the year ended
December 31, 1995,  over the year ended December 31, 1994, is primarily due to a
full  year  of  operation  in  1995  of the  1994  acquisitions  as  well as the
incremental effect of the 1995 acquisitions.

   Similarly, the increased rental income, expenses and net income noted in 1994
is due to the full year of operations from the properties  acquired in 1993 (the
Company commenced  operations in June 1993) as well as the incremental effect of
the 1994 acquisitions since their respective acquisition dates. Since operations
began  in  mid-1993,  comparison  between  1993  and  subsequent  full  years of
operations are not meaningful.

   Substantially  all of the Company's  revenue is from the rental  operation of
its apartment  communities.  Rental income increased to $16,300,821 in 1995 from
$8,177,576 in 1994 and  $1,784,868 in 1993 due to the factors  described  above.
Rental  income is expected to increase  from the impact of planned  improvements
which are being  made in an effort to  improve  the  properties'  marketability,
improve occupancies and increase rental rates.

   The  properties  acquired  prior to 1995 provided 71% of the  Company's  1995
rental income.  These properties had an average occupancy of 94% during 1995 and
93% in 1994.  For  properties  acquired  before 1995,  approximately  25% of the
revenue increase in 1995 was attributable to an increase in occupancy, and about
75% of the increase was attributable to increased rental rates. On a comparative
basis,  the five  properties  owned  during  all of 1995  and  1994  (properties
acquired  in 1993)  provided  rental  and  operating  income of  $6,681,120  and
$3,567,290,  respectively,  in 1995 and $6,175,925 and $3,202,454 in 1994.  This
represents  an  increase  from  1994 to 1995 of 8% and  11%,  respectively.  The
properties acquired in 1995 provided 29% of the Company's 1995 rental income and
had an average occupancy of 94% during 1995.

   The  properties  acquired  prior to 1994 provided 76% of the  Company's  1994
rental  income.  These  properties  had an average  occupancy of 93% in 1994 and
1993.  As  previously  stated,  a comparison of results from 1994 to 1993 is not
meaningful as the Company began operations in mid-1993.

   Overall,  average monthly rental rates for the portfolio  increased from $390
in 1993, to $454 in 1994, to $482 in 1995. This increase is due to a combination
of increased  rental rates and the acquisition of properties with higher average
rental rates.

                                       52
<PAGE>
   Total expenses  increased to $11,049,541 in 1995 from  $5,901,759 in 1994 and
$1,334,855 in 1993 due largely to the  acquisitions  noted above.  The operating
expense   ratio  (the  ratio  of  rental   expenses,   excluding   general   and
administrative expense, amortization and depreciation, to rental income) was 47%
in 1995, 48% in 1994 and 47% in 1993.

   General and  administrative  expenses  totaled 4% of revenues in 1995,  9% in
1994 and 12% in 1993. These expenses  represent the  administrative  expenses of
the Company as  distinguished  from the operations of the Company's  properties.
This  percentage  is expected to further  decrease as the  Company's  operations
grow.

   The  Company's  other  source of income  is from the  investment  of its cash
reserves.  Interest income was $226,555 in 1995, $110,486 in 1994 and $46,633 in
1993. This growth is consistent with the growth in the Company's cash reserves.

   The Company  incurred  $248,120 of interest  expense in 1995  associated with
short-term borrowings under its line of credit. The year 1995 was the first year
that the Company used unsecured borrowings to acquire properties.  As previously
noted,  these  borrowings  are typically for periods of 60 days or less and were
repaid in January 1996 from the issuance of Shares.

   In 1995,  the  Company  was able to reduce the  Advisor  fee from 1% of total
funds  raised to .25%  through  the  acquisition  of the assets of its  previous
advisor and the negotiation of a contract with a new advisor.  The fee is a part
of the above-referenced  general and administrative  expenses.  Based on the old
arrangement, the fee for 1995 would have been $879,720, as opposed to the actual
cost of  $219,930,  under the new  arrangement.  This  represents  a savings  of
$659,790,  or eight  cents per Share as a result  of the  renegotiation  of this
contract. (See Note 6 of the financial statements for additional details.)

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

   The Company's  property  operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996
reflect the operations of the Company's pre-1996 acquisitions, The Meadows since
February  1996,  and West Eagle  Green,  Ashley Park and Arbor Trace since March
1996.  The  results of  operations  for the three  months  ended  March 31, 1995
reflect the operations of the 1993 and 1994 acquisitions. The increase in income
and  expenses  for the three months ended March 31, 1996 over 1995 is mainly due
to a full three months of operation in 1996 of all of the 1995 acquisitions.  As
of March 31,  1996,  and  March 31,  1995  rental  income  for the 1993 and 1994
acquisitions was $2,927,230 and $2,745,013,  respectively  which represents a 7%
increase.

   The occupancy levels for the Company's properties averaged 91% and 93% at the
end of the three  months  ended  March  31,  1996 and  1995,  respectively.  The
decrease  in  occupancy  is  primarily  due to the  vacancy at three of the 1995
acquisitions which are currently under renovation. Overall, average rental rates
for the portfolio increased from $467 to $504 per month.

   The  Company's  revenue is primarily  from rental  operation of its apartment
communities. Rental income for the first three months increased to $6,552,688 in
1996 from  $2,745,012 in 1995.  The increase is due to a  combination  of rental
increases  and  property  acquisitions.  Rental  income is  expected to increase
further as a result of planned  improvements,  higher  occupancies and increased
rental rates. The Company's other source of income is the investment of its cash
and cash reserves. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995 was $76,338 and $29,162, respectively.

   Total  expenses for the first three months  increased to  $4,410,259  in 1996
from  $1,829,260  in 1995.  The  operating  expense  ratio  (the ratio of rental
expenses,  excluding general and  administrative,  amortization and depreciation
expense, to rental income) was 45% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995. In addition,  the Company incurred interest expense of $46,880 and $42,082
during the first three months of 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  which related to
the short-term borrowings on property acquisitions.

   General and administrative expenses totaled 3% of total rental income for the
three  months  ended  March 31,  1996 and 4% for the same  period in 1995.  This
percentage  is expected  to further  decrease  as the  Company's  asset base and
rental income grow. These expenses represent the administrative  expenses of the
Company as distinguished from the operations of the Company's properties.

                                       53
<PAGE>
IMPACT OF INFLATION

   The Company does not believe that inflation had any significant impact on the
operation  of the  Company in 1995 or during the three  months  ended  March 31,
1996. Future inflation, if any, would likely cause increased operating expenses,
but the Company believes that increases in expenses would be more than offset by
increases  in  rental  revenues.  Continued  inflation  may also  cause  capital
appreciation  of the  Company's  properties  over  time,  as  rental  rates  and
replacement costs increase.

(a)  "Funds from  operations" is defined as net income adjusted for depreciation
     and amortization. The Company considers funds from operations in evaluating
     property  acquisitions  and its  operating  performance,  and believes that
     funds  from  operations  should be  considered  along  with,  but not as an
     alternative  to, net  income  and cash flows as a measure of the  Company's
     operating performance and liquidity.  Funds from operations,  which may not
     be comparable to other similarly  titled measures of other REITs,  does not
     represent  cash  generated  from  operating  activities in accordance  with
     generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily  indicative
     of cash available to fund cash needs.

(b)  The Company did not purchase its first property until June 1993 and did not
     have any operations in 1992.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1995

NOTE 1 -- GENERAL INFORMATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
          POLICIES

Business:  Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc. (the "Company"),  an externally
advised real estate investment trust, is a Virginia  corporation  formed in 1992
to invest  primarily in residential  apartment  communities in the  southeastern
region of the United States.  Operations of rental property commenced on June 1,
1993.  The  company  currently  anticipates  that it will  hold  its  investment
properties for an indefinite length of time.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:  Cash equivalents  include highly liquid  investments
with original  maturities of three months or less. The fair market value of cash
and cash equivalents approximates their carrying value.

Investment in Rental Property:  The investment in rental property is recorded at
the lower of depreciated  cost or fair value and includes real estate  brokerage
commissions paid to Cornerstone  Realty Group, a related party (see Note 6). The
company  records  impairment  losses on rental  property  used in  operations if
indicators of impairment are present and the  undiscounted  cash flows estimated
to be  generated  by the  respective  properties  are less than  their  carrying
amount.  The company will adopt SFAS No. 121,  "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed  of," in the first
quarter of 1996 and, based on current circumstances, does not believe the effect
of adoption will be material.

Repairs  and  maintenance  costs are  expensed  as  incurred  while  significant
improvements,  renovation,  and replacements  are  capitalized.  Depreciation is
computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets which are 27.5 years for  buildings  and major  improvements  and a range
from five to seven years for furniture and fixtures.

Income Recognition: Rental, interest and other income are recorded on an accrual
basis. The company's  properties are leased under leases that,  typically,  have
terms that do not exceed one year.

Use of Estimates:  The  preparation of financial  statements in accordance  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management to make certain
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  amounts  reported  in  the  financial
statements  and  accompanying  footnotes.  Actual  results may differ from those
estimates.

Stock Incentive  Plans:  The company  accounts for stock option grants under the
Directors Plan and Incentive Plan (see additional details included in Note 5) in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25,  "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,"
and  accordingly  recognizes  no  compensation  expense for stock option  grants
priced at fair market value.

Advertising  Costs:  Cost  incurred  for  the  production  and  distribution  of
advertising are expensed as incurred.

Income Per  Share:  Net income  per share is  computed  based upon the  weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the year.  Unexercised stock options
are not included since their  inclusion  would not materially  dilute net income
per share.

Federal  Income  Taxes:  The company is operated as, and  annually  elects to be
taxed as, a real estate  investment  trust under the  Internal  Revenue  Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code").  Generally,  a real estate investment trust which
complies  with the  provisions of the Code and  distributes  at least 95% of its
taxable  income to its  shareholders  does not pay federal  income  taxes on its
distributed income.  Accordingly,  no provision has been made for federal income
taxes.

                                       F-5
<PAGE>
For income tax purposes,  distributions paid to shareholders consist of ordinary
income and return of capital or a combination  thereof.  Distributions per share
were 95.75  cents,  88.55 cents and 27.30 cents in the years ended  December 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  In 1995, of the total distribution,  83% was
taxable as ordinary income and 17% was a non-taxable return of capital. In 1994,
79% was taxable as ordinary income and 21% was a non-taxable  return of capital.
All distributions in 1993 were taxable as ordinary income.

Reclassifications: Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the current financial statement presentation.

NOTE 3 -- SHORT-TERM NOTES PAYABLE

In October 1995,  the company  purchased  Glen Eagles  Apartments for $7,300,000
with $5,000,000 in proceeds from the offering.  At the request of the seller, an
unsecured  non-interest-bearing  promissory  note was executed for the remaining
amount of $2,300,000. The note was repaid in full in January 1996 using proceeds
from the sale of additional shares.

In March 1995, the company  entered into an agreement with a commercial bank for
a $10  million  unsecured  revolving  line  of  credit  which  was  subsequently
increased to $20 million in November 1995. This line of credit currently expires
in March 1996, but is renewable annually by mutual agreement between the company
and bank. This agreement allows the company to finance a portion of the purchase
price of  future  acquisitions.  Borrowings  under  the  current  agreement  are
evidenced by an unsecured  promissory  note and bear  interest at the  one-month
LIBOR plus 175 basis  points.  Borrowings  under the  agreement of $6,000,000 at
December  31, 1995 were repaid in full in January 1996 using  proceeds  from the
sale of additional shares.

In December 1994, the company  entered into an agreement with a commercial  bank
to facilitate the short-term  financing of the acquisition of The Trestles.  The
company repaid the full balance of the debt in February 1995 through the sale of
additional shares.

The average  interest rate  incurred  under the line of credit was 7.8% in 1995.
The fair market value of the borrowings  approximates the recorded  amounts.  No
interest was capitalized in 1995, 1994 or 1993.

NOTE 4 -- COMMON STOCK

The  company is raising  capital  through an  offering  of shares.  The  company
received gross proceeds of $80,142,516,  $26,630,317  and  $31,634,513  from the
sale of 7,285,683,  2,423,438 and 2,995,210  shares for the years ended December
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,  respectively.  David Lerner Associates,  Inc. receives
selling  commissions and a marketing  expense  allowance equal to 7.5% and 2.5%,
respectively,  of the gross proceeds of shares sold. During 1995, 1994 and 1993,
David Lerner  Associates,  Inc.  earned  $8,014,252,  $2,663,032 and $3,163,451,
respectively.  The  net  proceeds  of  the  offering,  after  deducting  selling
commissions and other offering expenses,  were $71,771,027 in 1995,  $23,496,786
in 1994 and $27,846,983 in 1993.

The company  provides an Additional  Share Option which allows  shareholders  to
reinvest  distributions in the purchase of additional shares of the company.  Of
the total  proceeds  raised during the years ended  December 31, 1995,  1994 and
1993,  respectively,  $3,906,276,  $1,415,328 and $224,601 were provided through
the Additional Share Option.

NOTE 5 -- STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

In December 1992, the shareholders  approved a Directors Stock Option Plan which
provides automatic stock option grants to Directors who are not employees of the
company or  "Cornerstone  Companies"  (see Note 6). Also in December  1992,  the
shareholders approved an Incentive Plan whereby awards may be granted to certain
employees of the company or the "Cornerstone Companies." Both the Directors Plan
and Incentive Plan were amended by shareholder approval in July 1994.

Under the amended  Directors  Plan, the number of stock options to be granted is
equal to 45,000 plus 1.8% of the number of shares  sold in excess of  1,000,000.
As of December 31, 1995,  options to purchase  3,773 shares at $10 per share and
51,627  shares at $11 per share had been  granted  and  256,577  shares had been
reserved  for  issuance.  All granted  options  have a term of 10 years,  become
exercisable  six months after the date of the grant,  were  distributed  equally
among the eligible directors and were priced at fair market value at the time of
the grant.

Under the original Incentive Plan, the number of shares to be issued is equal to
35,000 plus 4.625% of the number of shares  sold in excess of  1,000,000  in the
company's  initial public  offering of $50 million.  In addition,  the Incentive
Plan, as amended,  provides for additional awards of 4.4% of the total number of
shares sold in excess of the initial public  offering.  As of December 31, 1995,
560,435 shares had been reserved for issuance under the Incentive  Plan.  During
1994,  options to purchase  204,495 shares were granted with a 10-year term that
become exercisable in equal installments over a five-year period.  These options
will be priced at fair market value when they become exercisable.

During 1995, options to purchase 40,000 shares at $11.00 per share were granted.
The 1995 options have a 10-year term and were immediately exercisable.

At  December  31,  1995,  all  options  awarded  under the  Directors  Plan were
exercisable and 111,798 shares awarded under the Incentive Plan were exercisable
at $11.00 per share.  None of the stock  options  awarded  under these plans had
been exercised at December 31, 1995.

Effective July 1, 1995, the company granted 10,000 shares of restricted stock to
certain  officers of the company under the Incentive Plan. The restricted  stock
awards vest over a four-year period.

NOTE 6 -- RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Since inception, the company has had no paid employees, and certain services are
provided by the  "Cornerstone  Companies" as described  below.  The "Cornerstone
Companies," all of which are wholly owned by Glade M. Knight,  a Director of the
company,  include Cornerstone Advisors, Inc., Cornerstone Management Group, Inc.
and Cornerstone Realty Group, Inc.

Cornerstone  Advisors,  Inc.  (the  "Advisor") is the advisor to the company and
provides its  day-to-day  management.  The Advisor  earns a quarterly fee not to
exceed  .25%  of  the  company's  assets,   based  on  the  company's  financial
performance as defined in the agreement with the Advisor,  which expires in June
1996. During 1995, the Advisor earned $219,930 under the terms of the agreement.

During  1994,  the  company  terminated  its former  advisory  arrangement  with
Cornerstone  Realty  Advisors,  Inc.  (the  "Old  Advisor").  Under  the  former
arrangement,  the fee for management services was 1% of the company's assets, as
defined in the agreement.  In August 1994,  the company  purchased the assets of
the Old Advisor in exchange for 40,000 of the  company's  shares,  with a market
value of $440,000,  which were  distributed to the beneficial  owners of the Old
Advisor,  all of whom were either Directors and/or officers of affiliates of the
company. The $440,000 market value of the shares issued was expensed in 1994.

The  Old  Advisor  also  waived  its fee of  $106,610  for  1993.  Subsequently,
management  of the  company  determined  that the  waiver of this fee  should be
reflected  in  the  financial   statements  as  an  expense  and   corresponding
contribution to shareholders' equity. Accordingly, the 1993 financial statements
were restated to reflect this contribution of services by the Old Advisor to the
company.

As properties  are acquired,  the company  enters into  agreements to manage the
properties with Cornerstone  Management Group, Inc. (the "Management  Company").
The  Management  Company earns a management fee equal to 5% of rental income and
is entitled to be reimbursed  for certain  expenses,  including the salaries and
expenses for personnel employed to lease and maintain the company's  properties.
For the respective years of 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Management Company was paid
$1,022,998,   $581,520,   and  $240,615  for  its  management  fee  and  certain
reimbursable  items,  exclusive  of salary  reimbursement  for the staffs of the
company properties.

The staffs of the individual  properties  owned by the company were employees of
the Management  Company through December 31, 1995.  These employees  perform the
leasing,  collection  and  maintenance  functions  to run  the  properties  on a
day-to-day basis. In 1995, 1994 and 1993  respectively,  the Management  Company
was reimbursed  $1,663,206,  $864,296,  and $190,153 for the salary  expenses of
these  employees  as a  direct  reimbursement  of  the  actual  salary  expense.
Effective  January  1, 1996,  these  employees  were  directly  employed  by the
company,   and  not  the  Management  Company,  and  there  will  no  longer  be
reimbursement for these costs.

The company has contracted with  Cornerstone  Realty Group,  Inc. to acquire and
dispose of the real  estate  assets  held by the  company for a fee of 2% of the
purchase or sale price of the property.  The company paid  $1,302,550,  $349,880
and $465,183 for the years of 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, under the terms
of this contract.  The company also paid $166,000 to  Cornerstone  Realty Group,
Inc.  in  January  1996,   relating  to  commissions  earned  on  1995  property
acquisitions,  upon the January  1996  repayment  of  short-term  borrowings  as
described in Note 3.

NOTE 8 -- PRO FORMA INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

The following  unaudited pro forma  information for the years ended December 31,
1995 and 1994 is presented as if (a) the company had owned all the properties on
January 1, 1994; (b) the company had qualified as a REIT, distributed all of its
taxable income and, therefore, incurred no federal income tax expense during the
period;  and (c) the company had used proceeds from its best efforts offering to
acquire the properties.  The pro forma information does not purport to represent
what the  company's  results  of  operations  would  actually  have been if such
transactions,  in fact had  occurred  on  January 1, 1994 nor does it purport to
represent the results of operations for future periods.

Creek,  Glen  Eagles,  Sailboat  Bay,  Tradewinds  and Osprey  Landing,  for the
respective  periods in 1995 and 1994 prior to  acquisition  by the company.  Net
income has been  adjusted as  follows:  (1)  Property  management  and  advisory
expenses have been adjusted based on the company's contractual arrangements; and
(2)  Depreciation  has  been  adjusted  based  on  the  company's  basis  in the
properties.  The pro forma  weighted  average number of shares used to calculate
net income per share includes the number of shares necessary to provide proceeds
adequate to finance the purchase price of the acquired properties.

NOTE 9 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In  January  1996,  the  company  declared  and  paid  a  cash  distribution  to
shareholders of $2,728,444 of which  $1,622,083 was reinvested in the Additional
Share Option.  During  January and February 1996, the company closed the sale to
investors of 1,724,299  shares at $11 per share  representing net proceeds after
the payment of brokerage fees to the company of $18,530,429. These proceeds were
used primarily to repay the outstanding borrowings at December 31, 1995 and fund
the property acquisition, described below.

On January 31, 1996, the company purchased The Meadows  Apartments in Asheville,
North Carolina.  The 176-unit apartment  community was purchased for $6,200,000.
The company  borrowed  $5,300,000 in  conjunction  with this purchase  which was
repaid in full in  February  1996  using  proceeds  from the sale of  additional
shares as discussed above.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                 MARCH 31, 1996

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with  the  instructions  for  Form  10-Q  and  Article  10  of  Regulation  S-X.
Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  required by generally
accepted accounting  principles.  In the opinion of management,  all adjustments
(consisting  of  normal  recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair
presentation  have been included.  Operating  results for the three months ended
March  31,  1996  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the Company's December 31, 1995 Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 -- SHORT-TERM NOTE PAYABLE

In April  1996,  the  Company  renewed  its  unsecured  line of  credit  with an
increased  credit  limit  of $50  million.  The  terms of the  renewed  line are
unchanged  except that the  expiration is March 31, 1997.  

The Company  borrowed  $12,205,000  against the line of credit in March 1996, in
conjunction with the purchase of Ashley Park Apartments.  As of May 6, 1996, the
Company had repaid  $4,500,000  of the  balance of the debt  through the sale of
additional shares.

NOTE 3 -- COMMON STOCK

During 1996, David Lerner  Associates,  Inc. has earned a total of $3,096,396 in
connection with the offering of the Company's  shares.  The Company  provides an
Additional  Share Option to the  shareholders to reinvest  distributions  in the
purchase  of  additional  shares  of the  Company.  During  1996,  approximately
$1,622,082  ($1,459,874 net of underwriter fees) has been invested in additional
shares of the Company through the Additional Share Option.  

During January 1996, the Company paid  distributions of $2,728,443  (24.75 cents
per share) to shareholders.

NOTE 4 -- RELATED PARTIES

As properties  are acquired,  the Company  enters into  agreements to manage the
properties with Cornerstone  Management Group, Inc. (The "Management  Company").
The  Management  Company earns a management fee equal to 5% of rental income and
is entitled to be reimbursed for certain  expenses.  Effective  January 1, 1996,
the staffs of the  individual  properties  owned by the  Company  were  directly
employed  by the  Company,  and not the  Management  Company,  and there will no
longer be  reimbursements  for those  costs.  The  Management  Company  was paid
$368,931  and  $172,293  for the three  months  ended  March  31,  1996 and 1995
respectively,  for its management fee and certain reimbursable items,  exclusive
of salary reimbursement for the staffs of the Company's properties.  

The Company has contracted with  Cornerstone  Realty Group,  Inc. to acquire the
real estate assets held by the Company for a fee of 2% of the purchase  price of
the  property.  The Company was paid  $392,082 and $147,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  

Cornerstone  Advisors,  Inc.  (the  "Advisor") is the advisor to the Company and
provides its day-to-day management.  The Advisor is paid a quarterly fee not the
exceed  .25% of the  Company's  assets  as  defined  in the  agreement  with the
Advisor.  The Company's  agreement  with the Advisor which was to expire in June
1995 has been  extended by approval of the Board of Directors  for an additional
one year term under terms  consistent with the expiring  agreement.  As of March
31, 1996 and 1995,  the Advisor  had earned a fee of  approximately  $93,616 and
$37,974, respectively.

NOTE 5 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April,  1996,  the  Company  distributed  to its  shareholders  approximately
$3,393,770  (24.8  cents  per  share)  of  which  approximately  $2,023,408  was
reinvested in the purchase of additional  shares  through the  Additional  Share
Option.
                                      F-18
<PAGE>
On April 30, 1996,  effective April 1, 1996, the Company  acquired two apartment
communities.  Longmeadow Apartments,  a 120-unit apartment community located in,
Charlotte, North Carolina, was purchased for $5,025,000. Trophy Chase Apartments
(formally  Westfield  Apartments),  a 185-unit  apartment  community  located in
Charlottesville,  Virginia,  was purchased for $3,710,000.  Both properties were
purchased with proceeds from the offering.

NOTE 6 -- ACQUISITIONS (UNAUDITED)

The following  unaudited pro forma  information for the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995 is  presented  as if (a) the Company had owned the  properties
listed  below on January 1,  1995,  (b) the  Company  had  qualified  as a REIT,
distributed all of its taxable income and, therefore, incurred no federal income
tax expense  during the period,  and (c) the Company had used  proceeds from its
best efforts offering to acquire the properties.  The pro forma information does
not purport to represent what the Company's results of operations would actually
have been if such  transactions,  in fact,  had  occurred on January 1, 1995 nor
does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

Landing, Mill Creek, Glen Eagles, Sailboat Bay, Tradewinds,  Osprey Landing, The
Meadows,  Scarlett Oaks and Ashley Park Apartments for the respective periods in
1996 and 1995 prior to acquisition by the Company.  Net income has been adjusted
as follows:  (1) property  management  and advisory  expenses have been adjusted
based on the Company's contractual  arrangements,  and (2) depreciation has been
adjusted based on the Company's basis in the properties.  The pro forma weighted
average  number of shares used to  calculate  net income per share  includes the
number of shares necessary to provide proceeds  adequate to finance the purchase
price of the acquired properties.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY

located  on  approximately  27  acres  of land  on the  southside  of  Richmond,
Virginia. The buildings were completed in 1988 and contain total living space of
approximately 208,000 square feet.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  accompanying  historical  summary of operating  revenue and expenses is not
representative  of the actual  operations  for the period  presented  as certain
revenues  and  expenses,  which may not be  comparable  to those  expected to be
incurred  by  Cornerstone  Realty  Income  Trust,  Inc. in the  proposed  future
operations of the apartments have been excluded.  Interest and non-rent  related
income have been excluded from revenue, and mortgage interest,  management fees,
property  depreciation  and amortization and other costs not directly related to
the  future  operations  of  Ashley  Park  Apartments  have been  excluded  from
expenses.  Management  is not aware of any material  factors  relating to Ashley
Park Apartments that would cause the historical summary of operating revenue and
expenses to not be indicative of future operating results of the apartments.

(2) ACQUISITION TRANSACTION

Cornerstone  Realty Income Trust,  Inc. acquired Ashley Park Apartments on March
29, 1996, effective March 1, 1996.

The accompanying  unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operations for the year ended
December  31, 1995 is  presented  as if (a) the  Company had owned the  acquired
properties  shown below on January 1, 1995,  (b) the Company had  qualified as a
REIT, distributed all of its taxable income and, therefore,  incurred no federal
income tax expense  during the year,  and (c) the Company had used proceeds from
its offering to acquire the  properties.  The unadjusted Pro Forma  Statement of
Operations  does  not  purport  to  represent  what  the  Company's  results  of
operations would actually have been if such transactions,  in fact, had occurred
on January 1, 1995,  nor does it purport to represent  the results of operations

The pro forma  adjustments  give effect to the actual rental income and expenses
for the  properties  for the  period in 1995 prior to their  acquisition  by the
Company.  Notes to the Pro Forma  Statement of  Operations  are as follows:  (1)
property management expense has been adjusted based on the Company's contractual
arrangements.  (2)  depreciation  has  been  adjusted  based  on  the  Company's
depreciable  basis of the acquired  properties of $77,886,345,  a 27.5 year life
and the  respective  periods  prior to their  acquisition.  The pro forma rental
income and expenses of each property are based on the annual  financial  results
of each respective  property as obtained in an audit by an independent  auditor.
Management  believes these results are  representative  of the actual results of
operations for the periods in which the Company did not own the properties.  The
Company financed part of the purchase price of certain  acquisitions  with short
term borrowings,  which were subsequently retired with proceeds of the Company's
on-going best efforts offering within approximately 60 days of acquisition.  The
pro  forma  weighted  average  number of shares  includes  the  number of shares
necessary to provide  proceeds  adequate to finance the purchase price.  (3) See
F-44 for detail of 1995 acquisitions.

Gentlemen:

   By  executing  or  having  executed  on my  (our)  behalf  this  Subscription
Agreement  and  submitting  payment,  I (we) hereby  subscribe for the number of
shares of stock set forth on the reverse  hereof in  Cornerstone  Realty  Income
Trust,  Inc.  ("REIT") at a purchase price of Eleven and 00/100 Dollars ($11.00)
per Share. By executing or having executed on my (our) behalf this  Subscription
Agreement and submitting payment, I (we) further:

   (a)  acknowledge  receipt of a copy of the Prospectus of  Cornerstone  Realty
Income  Trust,  Inc.,  of  which  this  Subscription  Agreement  is a part,  and
understand  that the shares being acquired will be governed by the terms of such
Prospectus and any amendments and supplements thereto;

   (b) represent that I am (we are) of majority age;

   (c)  represent  that I (we) have  adequate  means of  providing  for my (our)
current needs and personal  contingencies;  have no need for liquidity from this
investment;  and through  employment  experience,  educational  level  attained,
access  to  advice  from  qualified  advisors,  prior  experience  with  similar
investments,  or a combination thereof,  understand the financial risks and lack
of liquidity of an investment in the REIT;

   (d) represent that I (we) have either:  (i) a net worth (excluding home, home
furnishings  and  automobiles)  of at least  $50,000 and estimate  that (without
regard to  investment  in the REIT) I (we) will have  gross  income  during  the
current year of $50,000,  or (ii) a net worth  (excluding home, home furnishings
and  automobiles)  of at least $100,000  ($150,000 in the case of North Carolina
purchasers); and, in either event, further represent that the purchase amount is
10% or less of my (our) net worth as defined above;

   (e) represent (if purchasing in a fiduciary or other representative capacity)
that I (we) have due  authority  to execute the  Subscription  Agreement  and to
thereby  legally  bind  the  trust  or  other  entity  of  which  I am (we  are)
trustee(s),  legal  representative(s) or authorized agent(s); and agree to fully
indemnify and hold the REIT,  its officers and  directors,  its  affiliates  and
employees,  harmless  from any and all  claims,  actions  and  causes  of action
whatsoever   which  may  result  by  a  breach  or  an  alleged  breach  of  the
representations contained in this paragraph;

   (f) certify, under penalties of perjury, (i) that the taxpayer identification
number  shown on the  signature  page of this  Subscription  Agreement  is true,
correct and  complete  (or I am (we are) waiting for a number to be issued to me
(us)),  and (ii) that I am (we are) not  subject  to backup  withholding  either
because (a) I am (we are) exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I (we) have not
been  notified by the  Internal  Revenue  Service  that I am (we are) subject to
backup  withholding  as  a  result  of a  failure  to  report  all  interest  or
distributions,  or (c) the Internal  Revenue Service has notified me (us) that I

Gentlemen:

   By  executing  or  having  executed  on my  (our)  behalf  this  Subscription
Agreement  and  submitting  payment,  I (we) hereby  subscribe for the number of
shares of stock set forth on the reverse  hereof in  Cornerstone  Realty  Income
Trust,  Inc.  ("REIT") at a purchase price of Eleven and 00/100 Dollars ($11.00)
per Share. By executing or having executed on my (our) behalf this  Subscription
Agreement and submitting payment, I (we) further:

   (a)  acknowledge  receipt of a copy of the Prospectus of  Cornerstone  Realty
Income  Trust,  Inc.,  of  which  this  Subscription  Agreement  is a part,  and
understand  that the shares being acquired will be governed by the terms of such
Prospectus and any amendments and supplements thereto;

   (b) represent that I am (we are) of majority age;

   (c)  represent  that I (we) have  adequate  means of  providing  for my (our)
current needs and personal  contingencies;  have no need for liquidity from this
investment;  and through  employment  experience,  educational  level  attained,
access  to  advice  from  qualified  advisors,  prior  experience  with  similar
investments,  or a combination thereof,  understand the financial risks and lack
of liquidity of an investment in the REIT;

   (d) represent that I (we) have either:  (i) a net worth (excluding home, home
furnishings  and  automobiles)  of at least  $50,000 and estimate  that (without
regard to  investment  in the REIT) I (we) will have  gross  income  during  the
current year of $50,000,  or (ii) a net worth  (excluding home, home furnishings
and  automobiles)  of at least $100,000  ($150,000 in the case of North Carolina
purchasers); and, in either event, further represent that the purchase amount is
10% or less of my (our) net worth as defined above;

   (e) represent (if purchasing in a fiduciary or other representative capacity)
that I (we) have due  authority  to execute the  Subscription  Agreement  and to
thereby  legally  bind  the  trust  or  other  entity  of  which  I am (we  are)
trustee(s),  legal  representative(s) or authorized agent(s); and agree to fully
indemnify and hold the REIT,  its officers and  directors,  its  affiliates  and
employees,  harmless  from any and all  claims,  actions  and  causes  of action
whatsoever   which  may  result  by  a  breach  or  an  alleged  breach  of  the
representations contained in this paragraph;

   (f) certify, under penalties of perjury, (i) that the taxpayer identification
number  shown on the  signature  page of this  Subscription  Agreement  is true,
correct and  complete  (or I am (we are) waiting for a number to be issued to me
(us)),  and (ii) that I am (we are) not  subject  to backup  withholding  either
because (a) I am (we are) exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I (we) have not
been  notified by the  Internal  Revenue  Service  that I am (we are) subject to
backup  withholding  as  a  result  of a  failure  to  report  all  interest  or
distributions,  or (c) the Internal  Revenue Service has notified me (us) that I
am (we are) no longer subject to backup withholding; and

   (g)  represent  that I (we) have due  authority  to  execute  (or cause to be
executed on my (or our) behalf) the signature page hereto and to thereby legally
bind  myself  (ourselves)  or the  entity  of  which  I am (we  are)  authorized
agent(s).

   It is understood  that the REIT shall have the right to accept or reject this
subscription  in whole or in part in its sole and absolute  discretion and that,
to the  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law,  the REIT  intends to assert the
foregoing  representations as a defense to any claim based on factual assertions
