Series  7,  January 4, 1993 for Series 8, September 30, 1993 for Series  9,
January  21,  1994 for Series 10 and April 29, 1994 for  Series  11.   Each
Series  invests,  as  a  limited  partner, in  other  limited  partnerships
("Project  Partnerships"),  each  of  which  owns  and  operates  apartment
complexes  eligible  for  Low-Income Housing Tax Credits  ("Tax  Credits"),
provided  for in Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.   Gateway
will terminate on December 31, 2040 or sooner, in accordance with the terms
of the Limited Partnership Agreement.  As of December 31, 1998, Gateway had
received  capital  contributions of $1,000 from the  General  Partners  and
$36,799,000 from the investor Limited Partners.

   Raymond  James Partners, Inc. and Raymond James Tax Credit Funds,  Inc.,
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Raymond James Financial, Inc., are the General
Partner  and Managing General Partner, respectively.  The Managing  General
Partner manages and controls the business of Gateway.

   Gateway  received  capital  contributions  of  $10,395,000,  $9,980,000,
$6,254,000, $5,043,000 and $5,127,000 from the investor Limited Partners in
Series  7,  8, 9, 10 and 11, respectively.  Each Series will be treated  as
though it were a separate partnership, investing in a separate and distinct
pool  of  Project Partnerships.  Income or loss and all tax items from  the
Project Partnerships acquired by each Series will be specifically allocated
among the limited partners of such Series.

   Operating profits and losses, cash distributions from operations and Tax
Credits  from  each  Series  are generally allocated  99%  to  the  Limited
Partners in that Series and 1% to the General Partners.  Profit or loss and
cash  distributions from sales of property by each Series are allocated  as
formulated in the Limited Partnership Agreement.


NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Accounting

   Gateway  utilizes  an accrual basis of accounting whereby  revenues  are
recognized  as  earned and expenses are recognized as  obligations  are  in
curred.

   Gateway  accounts for its investments as the limited partner in  Project
Partnerships  ("Investments  in  Project Partnerships")  using  the  equity
method  of  accounting  and reports the equity in  losses  of  the  Project
Partnerships  on a 3-month lag in the Statement of Operations.   Under  the
equity method, the Investments in Project Partnerships initially include:

  1)  Gateway's capital contribution,
  2)  Acquisition fees paid to the General Partner for services rendered in
selecting properties for acquisition, and
    3)   Acquisition  expenses  including  legal  fees,  travel  and  other
miscellaneous costs relating to acquiring properties.

Quarterly  the  Investments  in  Project  Partnerships  are  increased   or
decreased as follows:

  1)   Increased for equity in income or decreased for equity in losses  of
  the Project Partnerships,
  2)   Decreased   for  cash  distributions  received  from   the   Project
  Partnerships, and
  3)  Decreased for the amortization of the acquisition fees and expenses.

   Amortization is calculated on a straight line basis over  35  years,  as
this  is  the average estimated useful life of the underlying assets.   The
amortization  is  shown  as  amortization  expense  on  the  Statements  of
Operations.

    Pursuant  to  the  limited  partnership  agreements  for  the   Project
Partnerships,  cash  losses  generated  by  the  Project  Partnerships  are
allocated  to  the general partners of those partnerships.   In  subsequent
years, cash profits, if any, are first allocated to the general partners to
the extent of the allocation of prior years' cash losses.

   Since  Gateway  invests  as  a limited partner,  and  therefore  is  not
obligated to fund losses or make additional capital contributions, it  does
not  recognize  losses from individual Project Partnerships to  the  extent
that these losses would reduce the investment in those Project Partnerships
below zero.  The suspended losses will be used to offset future income from
the individual Project Partnerships.

  Gateway  recognizes a decline in the carrying value of its investment  in
the  Project Partnerships when there is evidence of a non-temporary decline
in  the recoverable amount of the investment.  There is a possibility  that
the  estimates relating to reserves for non-temporary declines in  carrying
value of the investments in Project Partnerships may be subject to material
near term adjustments.

  Gateway, as a limited partner in the Project Partnerships, is subject  to
risks  inherent in the ownership of property which are beyond its  control,
such  as fluctuations in occupancy rates and operating expenses, variations
in  rental schedules, proper maintenance and continued eligibility  of  tax
credits.   If  the cost of operating a property exceeds the  rental  income
earned  thereon,  Gateway may deem it in its best interest  to  voluntarily
provide funds in order to protect its investment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

    It  is  Gateway's  policy  to include short-term  investments  with  an
original  maturity  of three months or less in Cash and  Cash  Equivalents.
Short-term investments are comprised of money market mutual funds.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

     Financial   instruments   which   potentially   subject   Gateway   to
concentrations of credit risk consist of cash investments in a money market
mutual  fund that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raymond James  Financial,
Inc.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

    The  preparation of financial statements in conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting principles requires the use of estimates  that  affect
certain  reported amounts and disclosures.  These estimates  are  based  on
management's  knowledge and experience.  Accordingly, actual results  could
differ from these estimates.

Investment in Securities

    Effective  April  1,  1994,  Gateway  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments  in  Debt
and  Equity Securities ("FAS 115").  Under FAS 115, Gateway is required  to
categorize  its debt securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale  or
trading  securities,  dependent  upon  Gateway's  intent  in  holding   the
securities.  Gateway's intent is to hold all of its debt securities (U.  S.
Treasury Security Strips) until maturity and to use these reserves to  fund
Gateway's ongoing operations.  Interest income is recognized ratably on the
U.S. Treasury Strips using the effective yield to maturity.

Receivable from Project Partnerships

    Receivable  from Project Partnerships represents amounts due  from  the
Project  Partnerships due to a change in the amount Gateway agreed  to  pay
the  Project  Partnerships and is secured with cash  in  restricted  escrow
accounts.

Offering and Commission Costs

    Offering  and  commission costs are charged against  Limited  Partners'
Equity upon admission of Limited Partners.

Income Taxes

    No  provision  for  income  taxes has  been  made  in  these  financial
statements, as income taxes are a liability of the partners rather than  of
Gateway.

Basis of Preparation

  The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and note disclosures required by generally accepted  accounting
principles.   These  statements  should be read  in  conjunction  with  the
financial statements and notes thereto included with the Partnership's Form
10-K  for  the  year ended March 31, 1998.  In the opinion  of  management,
these  financial statements include adjustments, consisting only of  normal
recurring  adjustments,  necessary to fairly  summarize  the  Partnership's
financial  position and results of operations.  The results  of  operations
for the periods may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the
year.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

  The Payable to General Partners primarily represents the asset management
fees  owed  to  the  General Partners at the end  of  the  period.   It  is
unsecured,  due  on demand and, in accordance with the limited  partnership
agreement,  non-interest bearing.  Within the next 12 months, the  Managing
General  Partner does not intend to demand payment on the portion of  Asset
Management Fees payable classified as long-term on the Balance Sheet.

   The   Payable   to  Project  Partnerships  represents   unpaid   capital
contributions  to the Project Partnerships and will be paid  after  certain
performance  criteria are met.  Such contributions are in turn  payable  to
the general partners of the Project Partnerships.

  For  the nine months ended December 31 1998 and 1997 the General Partners
and affiliates are entitled to compensation and reimbursement for costs and
expenses incurred by Gateway as follows:

 Asset Management Fee - The Managing General Partner is entitled to receive
an  annual asset management fee equal to the greater of (i) $2,000 for each
limited  partnership in which Gateway invests, or (ii) 0.275% of  Gateway's
gross  proceeds from the sale of limited partnership interests.  In  either
event  (i) or (ii), the maximum amount may not exceed 0.2% of the aggregate
cost   (Gateway's  capital  contribution  plus  Gateway's  share   of   the
Properties'  mortgage)  of Gateway's interest in properties  owned  by  the
Project Partnerships.  The asset management fee will be paid only after all
other  expenses of Gateway have been paid.  These fees are included in  the
Statement of Operations.

  Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition  and
Results of Operations

Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The  proceeds  from  Limited  Partner investors'  capital  contributions
available  for  investment  are  used  to  acquire  interests  in   Project
Partnerships.

  As  disclosed on the statement of operations for each Series,  except  as
described  below,  interest income is comparable for  the  nine  and  three
months  ended  December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997.   The  General  and
Administrative  expenses - General Partner and General  and  Administrative
expenses - Other for the nine and three months ended December 31, 1998  are
comparable to December 31, 1997.  There were no unusual variations  in  the
operating results between these two periods.

   The  capital  resources  of each Series are  used  to  pay  General  and
Administrative   operating  costs  including  personnel,   supplies,   data
processing,   travel   and  legal  and  accounting  associated   with   the
administration and monitoring of Gateway and the Project Partnerships.  The
capital  resources are also used to pay the Asset Management  Fee  due  the
Managing  General Partner, but only to the extent that Gateway's  remaining
resources are sufficient to fund Gateway's ongoing needs.  (Payment of  any
Asset Management Fee unpaid at the time Gateway sells its interests in  the
Project  Partnerships  is subordinated to the investors'  return  of  their
original capital contribution.)

  The sources of funds to pay the operating costs of each Series are short-
term investments and interest earned thereon, the maturity of U.S. Treasury
Security Strips ("Zero Coupon Treasuries") which were purchased with  funds
set  aside  for this purpose, and cash distributed to the Series  from  the
operations of the Project Partnerships.

  Series 7 - Gateway closed this series on October 16, 1992 after receiving
$10,395,000  from  635  Limited Partner investors.   Equity  in  Losses  of
Project  Partnerships  increased from $651,486 for the  nine  months  ended
December 31, 1997 to $706,312 for the nine months ended December 31,  1998.
In  general, it is common in the real estate industry to experience  losses
for  financial and tax reporting purposes because of the non-cash  expenses
of depreciation and amortization. As a result, management expects that this
Series, as well as those described below, will report its equity in Project
Partnerships as a loss for tax and financial reporting purposes.   Overall,
management believes the Project Partnerships are operating as expected  and
are generating tax credits which meet projections.

  At  December 31, 1998, the Series had $242,996 of short-term  investments
(Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents).   It  also  had  $475,479  in  Zero  Coupon
Treasuries  with  annual maturities providing $50,000 in fiscal  year  1999
increasing to $86,000 in fiscal year 2008.  Management believes the sources
of funds are sufficient to meet current and ongoing operating costs for the
foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset Management Fee.

  As disclosed on the statement of cash flows, the Series had a net loss of
$779,879  for  the  nine months ended December 31,  1998.   However,  after
adjusting for Equity in Losses of Project Partnerships of $706,312 and  the
changes  in  operating assets and liabilities, net cash used  in  operating
activities  was  $62,710  as a result of paying Asset  Management  Fees  of
$41,000.  Cash provided by investing activities totaled $19,610, consisting
of cash distributions from the Project Partnerships.

  Series  8  -  Gateway  closed this Series on  September  28,  1993  after
receiving $9,980,000 from 664 Limited Partner investors.  Equity in  Losses
of  Project Partnerships decreased from $867,315 for the nine months  ended
December 31, 1997 to $787,863 for the nine months ended December 31,  1998.
At  December  31,  1998, the Series had $361,164 of short-term  investments
(Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents).   It  also  had  $449,001  in  Zero  Coupon
Treasuries  with  annual maturities providing $45,000 in fiscal  year  1999
increasing to $82,000 in fiscal year 2008.  Management believes the sources
of funds are sufficient to meet current and ongoing operating costs for the
foreseeable future, and to pay part of the Asset Management Fee.

  As disclosed on the statement of cash flows, the Series had a net loss of
$858,576  for  the  nine months ended December 31,  1998.   However,  after

changes  in  operating assets and liabilities, net cash used  in  operating
activities  was  $59,643  as a result of paying Asset  Management  Fees  of
$39,000.  Cash provided by investing activities totaled $10,080, consisting

events or trends to describe.

$6,254,000 from 406 Limited Partner investors.  Equity in Losses of Project
Partnerships increased from $312,514 for the nine months ended December 31,
1997  to $428,031 for the nine months ended December 31, 1998.  At December

Equivalents).  It also had $299,772 in Zero Coupon Treasuries  with  annual
maturities  providing $29,000 in fiscal year 1999 increasing to $47,000  in
fiscal  year 2009.  Management believes the sources of funds are sufficient
to meet current and ongoing operating costs for the foreseeable future, and
to pay part of the Asset Management Fee.
