This  Amendment No. 1 to the Statement on Schedule 13D (as defined below) amends
and  supplements  the  Statement  on Schedule  13D relating to the even tdate of
March 6, 2000 (the "Schedule 13D") of American Mortgage Acceptance Company filed
by J. Michael Fried.

________________________________________________________________________________
Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

          The text of Item 1 to the Schedule 13D is not amended.

________________________________________________________________________________
Item 2.  Identity and Background.

          The text of Item 2 to the Schedule 13D is not amended.
________________________________________________________________________________
Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

          The text of Item 3 to the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:

          $741,785 of the funds used to purchase  the Voting  Shares (as defined
          in Item 5(a) below) were personal  funds of the  Reporting  Person and
          his wife,  Janet C. Fried.  $831,135 of the funds used to purchase the
          Voting  Shares (as defined in Item 5(a) below) were  borrowed  through
          margin  accounts  with Chase  Investment  Services  Corp.  and Charles
          Schwab & Co.

          With respect to the Advisor Shares (as defined in Item 5(a) below), on
          information  and  belief,   the  Reporting  Person   understands  that
          approximately  38,000 of such shares were issued to the Advisor by the
          Issuer  in  connection  with  the   organization  of  the  Issuer  and
          approximately  10,000 of such  shares  were  purchased  by the Advisor
          using its own funds.

________________________________________________________________________________
Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

          The text of Item 4 to the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:

          The  Reporting  Person has acquired the Voting  Shares for  investment
          purposes.  The Reporting Person may effect additional purchases on the
          open market at appropriate  prices.  The Reporting Person will seek to
          explore with  management  ways to increase  shareholder  value through
          various  strategies  which may  include,  among  others,  expansion of
          mortgage  origination  sources;  potential  consolidation  with larger
          similar  companies;  and/or  current  liquidation  of the Issuer.  The
          Reporting Person may initiate discussions with shareholders  regarding
          ways to increase shareholder value.

________________________________________________________________________________
Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          The text of Item 5 to the  Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its
          entirety as follows:

          (a) The  Reporting  Person  owns  beneficially  and of record  182,700
          shares of  beneficial  interest of the Issuer (the  "Voting  Shares"),
          which  represent  approximately  4.8% of the  issued  and  outstanding
          shares of  beneficial  interest  of the  Issuer.  77,200 of the Voting
          Shares  are held in an account  of which the  Reporting  Person is the
          sole  owner.  105,500 of the Voting  Shares are held by the  Reporting
          Person  in a joint  account  with  Janet  C.  Fried,  the  wife of the
          Reporting Person. The Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive
          power with respect to all of the Voting Shares.

<PAGE>

          In  addition  to  the  Voting  Shares,  the  Reporting  Person  is the
          beneficial  owner  of  a  19.2%  economic   interest  in  Related  AMI
          Associates,  Inc. (the "Advisor"),  the advisor to the Issuer, and the
          Advisor  is the  record  and  beneficial  owner of  48,308  shares  of
          beneficial interest of the Issuer (the "Advisor Shares").  Pursuant to
          an agreement  between Related Capital Company  ("Related"),  an entity
          controlled by the Reporting Person and the Reporting  Person,  Related
          has sole control of the voting and dispositive  rights with respect to
          the Advisor Shares.  See Item 6 below.  The Reporting Person is not an
          officer or director  of Related and does not by contract or  otherwise
          have any control over the business or operations of Related. Therefore
          the Reporting  Person  disclaims any voting or dispositive  power with
          respect to the Advisor  Shares,  although the Reporting  Person may be
          deemed  to be the  beneficial  owner of 9,275 of the  Advisor  Shares,
          representing 0.24% of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of
          the Issuer.

          Therefore  the  Reporting  Person  may be deemed to be the  beneficial
          owner  of  191,975  shares  of  beneficial  interest  of  the  Issuer,
          representing   approximately   5.0%  of   the  outstanding  shares  of
          beneficial interest of the Issuer.

          (b) The Reporting  Person has sole voting and  dispositive  power with
          respect to 182,700 shares of beneficial interest of the Issuer.  Based
          on the  retention  by an  unaffiliated  third party of sole voting and
          dispositive  power with respect to the Advisor  Shares,  the Reporting
          Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the 48,308 Advisor Shares.

          (c) In addition to the purchases  reflected in the Schedule 13D, which
          are  incorporated  herein by  reference,  in the past sixty days,  the
          Reporting  Person  has  purchased  the  following  number of shares of
          beneficial interest of the Issuer in open market transactions  through
          an American Stock Exchange specialist broker, on the dates and for the
          prices indicated below:
