                               QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Who is soliciting my proxy?

     We, the directors of CIP(R),  are sending you this Proxy  statement and the
enclosed proxy.

Who is entitled to vote?

     Shareholders  of  CIP(R)as  of the close of  business  March 31,  1999 (the
Record Date) are entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

How do I vote?

     You may vote your  shares  either by  attending  the  annual  meeting or by
proxy.  To vote by proxy,  sign and date the enclosed proxy and return it in the
enclosed  envelope.  If you  return  your  proxy  but fail to mark  your  voting
preference,  your shares will be voted FOR each of the nominees. We suggest that
you return a proxy even if you plan to attend the meeting.

May I revoke my proxy?

     Yes,  you may revoke your proxy at any time before the meeting by voting in
person,  notifying  CIP(R)'s  Secretary,  or submitting a later-date  proxy. The
mailing  address of the  company is 50  Rockefeller  Plaza,  New York,  New York
10020. You should mail your notice of revocation of proxy to that address.

How many shares may vote?

     At the close of business on the Record  Date,  March 31,  1999,  CIP(R) had
21,577,085  shares  outstanding  and  entitled  to vote.  Every  shareholder  is
entitled to one vote for each share held.

What is a "quorum"?

     A "quorum" is the presence,  either in person or represented by proxy, of a
majority of the shares  entitled to vote at the meeting.  There must be a quorum
for the meeting to be held.  A nominee must  receive the  affirmative  vote of a
majority of shares voted at the meeting to be elected to the board.

How will voting on shareholder proposals be conducted?

     We do not know of other matters  which are likely to be brought  before the
meeting.  However,  in the event that any other matters properly come before the
annual  meeting,  your signed proxy gives  authority to the persons named in the
enclosed  proxy to vote your shares on those  matters in  accordance  with their
best judgment.
<PAGE>
Who will pay the cost for this proxy solicitation and how much will it cost?

     CIP(R) will pay the cost of  preparing,  assembling  and mailing this Proxy
Statement,  the Notice of Meeting  and the  enclosed  proxy.  In addition to the
solicitation  of  proxies  by mail,  we may  utilize  some of the  officers  and
employees of Carey Property Advisors,  L.P. (who will receive no compensation in
addition  to their  regular  salaries)  to  solicit  proxies  personally  and by
telephone.  Currently,  we do not intend to retain a solicitation firm to assist
in the  solicitation of proxies,  but if sufficient  proxies are not returned to
us, we may  retain an  outside  firm to assist in proxy  solicitation  for a fee
estimated not to exceed  $7,500,  plus  out-of-pocket  expenses.  We may request
banks, brokers and other custodians,  nominees and fiduciaries to forward copies
of the proxy  statement to their  principals  and to request  authority  for the
execution of proxies,  and will  reimburse such persons for their expenses in so
doing.

     Securities and Exchange  Commission  Regulations  require the disclosure of
the  compensation  policies  applicable  to executive  officers in the form of a
report by the  compensation  committee of the board of directors (or a report of
the full board of  directors  in the absence of a  compensation  committee).  As
noted above, the company has no employees and pays no compensation. As a result,
the board of directors has not considered  compensation policy for employees and
has not included a report with this proxy statement.

     Comparison of Five - Year  Cumulative  Return.  The graph below provides an
indicator of cumulative  shareholder returns for CIP(R) as compared with the S&P
500 Stock Index and a Peer Group (1).



(1)  The Peer Group Index included in the Performance Graph has been constructed
     and calculated by the company. The Peer Group is comprised of issuers whose
     securities are publicly held but for which no active trading market exists.
     The index has been  constructed  assuming  a constant  share  price and the
     annual  reinvestment of dividends.  The issuers  included in the peer group
     and the  relative  weighting  of the  issuers'  returns in the total  index
     (calculated using total initial market capitalization) are as follows:

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

     William P. Carey,  Chief  Executive  Officer,  is a member of the company's
board of directors. During 1998, the Advisor, a Pennsylvania limited partnership
whose  general  partner is Carey  Fiduciary  Advisors,  Inc.,  and whose limited
partners are William P. Carey and Francis J. Carey,  was retained by the company
to provide  advisory  services in  connection  with  identifying  and  analyzing
prospective  property  investments  as well as providing  day-to-day  management
services to the company.  William P. Carey owns all of the outstanding  stock of
Carey  Fiduciary  Advisors.  For the  services it provides to the  company,  the
Advisor earns an asset  management  fee and a  performance  fee, each equal to a
percentage  of the average  invested  assets of the  company  for the  preceding
month,  payable  monthly.  The  payment  of the  performance  fee,  however,  is
subordinated  to  specified  returns to  shareholders.  During  1998,  the asset
management  and  performance  fees earned by the  Advisor  were  $2,163,157  and
$2,163,157  respectively.  The  performance fee will be paid at a future time if
certain  performance  criteria are satisfied.  During 1998, the Advisor and W.P.
Carey & Co.,  Inc.  earned  acquisition  fees  totaling  $589,878  in return for
performing  services related to the company's real estate purchases.  William P.
Carey also owns all the outstanding stock of W.P. Carey & Co., Inc.
