                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Board of Directors
Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc.
Richmond, Virginia





        We have audited the accompanying statement of income and direct
operating expenses exclusive of items not comparable to the proposed future
operations of the property Sterling Point Apartments located in Charlotte, North
Carolina for the twelve month period ended December 31, 1997. This statement is
the responsibility of the management of Sterling Point Apartments. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement based on our audit.



        We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the statement is free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the statement. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        The accompanying statement was prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for
inclusion in a filing by Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc.) and excludes
material expenses, described in Note 2 to the statement, that would not be
comparable to those resulting from the proposed future operations of the
property.

        In our opinion, the statement referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the income and direct operating expenses of Sterling Point
Apartments (as defined above) for the twelve month period ended December 31,
1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
