                                 AMENDMENT NO. 9
                                       to
                            Statement on Schedule 13D
                             Pursuant to Rule 13d-1
                                    under the
                   Securities Exchange Act of 1934, As Amended


              The undersigned hereby amend Items 4 through 7 of the Statement on
Schedule 13D filed on their behalf on February 18, 1992, with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") with respect to the Class A Common Stock,
par value $.01 per share (the "Insignia Class A Common"),  of Insignia Financial
Group, Inc. (the "Issuer"), as previously amended and restated. Unless otherwise
indicated herein,  capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall
have the  meanings  ascribed  thereto  in such  previously  filed  Statement  on
Schedule 13D.

Item 4.       Purpose of Transaction.

              Item 4 is hereby  amended by adding the  following  after the last
paragraph:

              On May 26, 1998 the Issuer, AIMCO, Insignia/ESG Holdings, Inc. and
AIMCO Properties,  L.P. entered into an Amended and Restated  Agreement and Plan
of Merger (the "Amended Merger Agreement").  On October 1, 1998 a certificate of
merger  was  filed  with the  Secretary  of State of the State of  Delaware  and
articles  of merger  were filed with the State  Department  of  Assessments  and
Taxation  of  Maryland,  thereby  causing  the Issuer to be merged with and into
AIMCO, with AIMCO being the surviving company.  As of October 1, 1998 all shares
of Insignia  Class A Common were no longer  outstanding  and were  automatically
canceled and retired. In the Merger, holders of Insignia Class A Common received
shares of Class E Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred  Stock of AIMCO,  par value
$0.01 per share ("AIMCO Class E Preferred Stock") and cash in lieu of fractional
shares.

Item 5.       Interest in Securities of the Issuer

              Item 5 is hereby  amended by replacing all the  information  under
the heading "Beneficial Ownership" with the following:

              On  October 1, 1998,  the Issuer was merged  with and into  AIMCO,
with AIMCO  being the  surviving  company,  and all shares of  Insignia  Class A
Common were deemed to be no longer outstanding and were  automatically  canceled
and retired.  In the Merger, the Reporting Persons, as holders of Insignia Class
A Common,  received  shares of AIMCO Class E Preferred Stock and cash in lieu of
fractional  shares  pursuant to the terms of the Amended  Merger  Agreement.  In
addition, options to purchase shares of Insignia Class A Common held by AF, JAA,
FMG and RU and granted under the Insignia 1992 Stock Incentive Plan and warrants
to purchase  shares of Insignia Class A Common held by AF and JAA were purchased
from such  individuals  by the Issuer  for $25 per  underlying  share,  less the
exercise price, pursuant to Stock Option Surrender Agreements dated as



<PAGE>


of June 1, 1998 (each, a "Surrender  Agreement")  between the Issuer and each of
AF, JAA, FMG and RU. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Merger Agreement,  the
obligations with respect to unvested  restricted stock of the Issuer  previously
granted to each of AF, JAA, FMG and RU under the Insignia  1992 Stock  Incentive
Plan have  been  assumed  by AIMCO.  On  October  1, 1998 each of the  Reporting
Persons  ceased to be the  beneficial  owner of any shares of  Insignia  Class A
Common.

Item 6.       Contracts,  Arrangements,  Understandings,  or Relationships  With
Respect to Securities of the Issuer

              For a description of the Amended Merger Agreement, see Exhibit (o)
to this Amendment No. 9, which is incorporated herein by reference.

              The Surrender  Agreements provide that all outstanding options and
warrants  (if  applicable)  held by the party  thereto  would be acquired by the
Issuer for $25 per underlying  share,  less the exercise price,  and such amount
would be paid within 10 business  days  following  the  spin-off of the stock of
Insignia/ESG Holdings,  Inc. by the Issuer. The record date for the spin-off was
September 15, 1998. Under each Surrender  Agreement,  the holder of such options
and warrants agreed not to exercise or transfer such options or warrants.

Item 7.       Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

              Exhibits filed with Amendment 9:

              (p) Amended and Restated  Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
May 26, 1998 by and among  Apartment  Investment and Management  Company,  AIMCO
Properties, L.P., Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and Insignia/ESG Holdings, Inc.
(incorporated  by reference to Amendment No. 1 to the  Quarterly  Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter  ended March 31,  1998 filed by Insignia  Financial  Group,
Inc.).

              (q) Form of Stock Option  Surrender  Agreement dated as of June 1,
1998 by and between Insignia  Financial Group, Inc. (The agreements with each of
James A.  Aston,  Andrew L.  Farkas,  Frank M.  Garrison  and Ronald  Uretta are
substantially similar.)
