                           (Unaudited)

(1)  The  condensed  statements included herein have been  prepared
     by  the Partnership, without audit, pursuant to the rules  and
     regulations  of  the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  and
     reflect   all  adjustments  which  are,  in  the  opinion   of
     management,  necessary to a fair statement of the  results  of
     operations for the interim period, on a basis consistent  with
     the  annual audited statements.  The adjustments made to these
     condensed   statements  consist  only  of   normal   recurring
     adjustments.   Certain information, accounting  policies,  and
     footnote    disclosures   normally   included   in   financial
     statements  prepared  in  accordance with  generally  accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted  pursuant
     to  such  rules  and  regulations,  although  the  Partnership
     believes  that  the  disclosures  are  adequate  to  make  the
     information  presented not misleading.  It is  suggested  that
     these  condensed financial statements be read  in  conjunction
     with  the  financial statements and the summary of significant
     accounting  policies  and  notes  thereto  included   in   the
     Partnership's latest annual report on Form 10-KSB.

(2)  Organization -

     AEI  Net  Lease Income & Growth Fund XX Limited  Partnership
     (Partnership)  was  formed to acquire and  lease  commercial
     properties   to   operating  tenants.    The   Partnership's
     operations  are  managed  by AEI Fund  Management  XX,  Inc.
     (AFM),  the  Managing  General Partner of  the  Partnership.
     Robert  P.  Johnson, the President and sole  shareholder  of
     AFM,  serves  as  the  Individual  General  Partner  of  the
     Partnership.   An  affiliate of AFM,  AEI  Fund  Management,
     Inc.,  performs  the administrative and operating  functions
     for the Partnership.
     
     The   terms   of  the  Partnership  offering  call   for   a
     subscription  price of $1,000 per Limited Partnership  Unit,
     payable   on  acceptance  of  the  offer.   The  Partnership
     commenced   operations  on  June  30,  1993   when   minimum
     subscriptions    of   1,500   Limited   Partnership    Units
     ($1,500,000)  were  accepted.   On  January  19,  1995,  the
     Partnership's   offering   terminated   when   the   maximum
     subscription  limit  of  24,000  Limited  Partnership  Units
     ($24,000,000) was reached.
     
     Under  the  terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement,  the
     Limited  Partners and General Partners contributed funds  of
     $24,000,000 and $1,000, respectively.  During the  operation
     of the Partnership, any Net Cash Flow, as defined, which the
     General Partners determine to distribute will be distributed
     90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners;
     provided,  however, that such distributions to  the  General
     Partners will be subordinated to the Limited Partners  first
     receiving an annual, noncumulative distribution of Net  Cash
     Flow equal to 10% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution, as
     defined,  and, provided further, that in no event  will  the
     General Partners receive less than 1% of such Net Cash  Flow
     per  annum.  Distributions to Limited Partners will be  made
     pro rata by Units.

(2)  Organization - (Continued)

     Any  Net  Proceeds  of Sale, as defined, from  the  sale  or
     financing of the Partnership's properties which the  General
     Partners determine to distribute will, after provisions  for
     debts  and  reserves, be paid in the following  manner:  (i)
     first,  99%  to the Limited Partners and 1% to  the  General
     Partners until the Limited Partners receive an amount  equal
     to:  (a)  their Adjusted Capital Contribution  plus  (b)  an
     amount  equal  to 12% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution
     per  annum, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not
     previously  distributed  from  Net  Cash  Flow;   (ii)   any
     remaining  balance will be distributed 90%  to  the  Limited
     Partners and 10% to the General Partners.  Distributions  to
     the Limited Partners will be made pro rata by Units.
     
     For  tax  purposes,  profits  from  operations,  other  than
     profits  attributable  to  the  sale,  exchange,  financing,
     refinancing   or  other  disposition  of  the  Partnership's
     property,  will  be  allocated first in the  same  ratio  in
     which,  and  to the extent, Net Cash Flow is distributed  to
     the Partners for such year.  Any additional profits will  be
     allocated in the same ratio as the last dollar of  Net  Cash
     Flow  is  distributed.  Net losses from operations  will  be
     allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the  General
     Partners.
     
     For  tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing,
     or  other disposition of the Partnership's property will  be
     allocated  in  accordance with the Partnership Agreement  as
     follows:  (i) first, to those partners with deficit balances
     in  their capital accounts in an amount equal to the sum  of
     such  deficit  balances; (ii) second,  99%  to  the  Limited
     Partners  and 1% to the General Partners until the aggregate
     balance in the Limited Partners' capital accounts equals the
     sum  of the Limited Partners' Adjusted Capital Contributions
     plus  an  amount  equal  to 12% of  their  Adjusted  Capital
     Contributions  per annum, cumulative but not compounded,  to
     the  extent  not  previously  allocated;  (iii)  third,  the
     balance of any remaining gain will then be allocated 90%  to
     the  Limited  Partners  and  10% to  the  General  Partners.
     Losses will be allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and  2%
     to the General Partners.
     
     The  General Partners are not required to currently  fund  a
     deficit   capital   balance.   Upon   liquidation   of   the
     Partnership or withdrawal by a General Partner, the  General
     Partners will contribute to the Partnership an amount  equal
     to  the  lesser  of  the deficit balances in  their  capital
     accounts  or  1%  of  total Limited  Partners'  and  General
     Partners' capital contributions.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate -

     The  Partnership  leases its properties to  various  tenants
     through   non-cancelable  triple  net  leases,   which   are
     classified  as operating leases.  Under a triple net  lease,
     the  lessee  is  responsible  for  all  real  estate  taxes,
     insurance,  maintenance, repairs and operating  expenses  of
     the  property.  The initial Lease terms are 20 years for the
     Garden Ridge store and Champps, HomeTown Buffet, Arby's/Mrs.
     Winner's, Denny's and Applebee's restaurants.  The Red Robin
     restaurants' Lease Agreements expire on November  30,  2004,
     and  December 31, 2007.  The Leases contain renewal  options
     which  may  extend  the Lease term an  additional  10  years
     except  for  the Denny's restaurants and the Applebee's  and
     Champps restaurants in Ohio which have renewal options  that
     may  extend  the Lease term an additional 15 years  and  the
     Garden Ridge retail store which has renewal options that may
     extend  the  Lease term an additional 25 years.  The  Leases
     contain  rent  clauses  which  entitle  the  Partnership  to
     receive additional rent in future years based on stated rent
     increases.   Certain  lessees have been granted  options  to
     purchase the property.  Depending on the lease, the purchase
     price  is either determined by a formula, or is the  greater
     of  the  fair  market value of the property  or  the  amount
     determined  by a formula.  In all cases, if the option  were
     to  be exercised by the lessee, the purchase price would  be
     greater than the original cost of the property.
     
     The  Partnership's  properties are all  commercial,  single-
     tenant  buildings.   The cost of the  property  and  related
     accumulated  depreciation  at  September  30,  1997  are  as
     follows:

(3)  Investments in Real Estate -  (Continued)

     On  March  28,  1996,  the Partnership  purchased  a  18.50%
     interest  in  a  Garden  Ridge  store  in  Pineville,  North
     Carolina  for $1,667,092.  The property is leased to  Garden
     Ridge,  L.P. under a Lease Agreement with a primary term  of
     20  years  and  annual  rental payments  of  $174,319.   The
     remaining  interests in the property are owned  by  AEI  Net
     Lease  Income & Growth Fund XIX Limited Partnership and  AEI
     Income & Growth Fund XXI Limited Partnership, affiliates  of
     the Partnership.
     
     On  April  10, 1996, the Partnership purchased  a  90.71346%
     interest  in  a  Champps Americana restaurant in  Lyndhurst,
     Ohio  for  $2,460,394.  The property is leased to  Americana
     Dining  Corporation under a Lease Agreement with  a  primary
     term  of  20  years and annual rental payments of  $258,886.
     The  remaining interests in the property were  purchased  by
     the  Individual General Partner of the Partnership, and  AEI
     Institutional  Net  Lease  Fund '93,  an  affiliate  of  the
     Partnership.
     
     In  August, 1995, the Partnership entered into an  Agreement
     to  purchase an Italianni's restaurant in Columbus, Ohio for
     approximately  $1,440,000.   The Agreement  with  Ristoranti
     Karlo,  Inc. included a Lease Agreement with a primary  term
     of  15  years  and  annual rental payments of  approximately
     $162,000.   The  Partnership  advanced  $1,215,483  for  the
     construction  of the property and was charging  interest  on
     the  Note  at  the  rate  of 7.0%.   On  May  1,  1996,  the
     Partnership began charging interest on the Note at the  rate
     of 11.25%.
     
     In  October,  1996,  the  parties agreed  to  terminate  the
     Agreement.    Ristoranti   Karlo,   Inc.   reimbursed    the
     Partnership for all construction advances, accrued  interest
     and for certain expenses.
     
     On  April 21, 1997, the Partnership purchased a 37% interest
     in  a  parcel of land in Schaumburg, Illinois for  $653,756.
     The  land  is  leased to Champps Americana,  Inc.  (Champps)
     under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years  and
     annual  rental  payments of $49,910.  The  Partnership  also
     entered  into a Development Financing Agreement under  which
     the  Partnership  will  advance funds  to  Champps  for  the
     construction of a Champps Americana restaurant on the  site.
     Through  September  30, 1997, the Partnership  had  advanced
     $158,170  for  the  construction of  the  property  and  was
     charging  interest on the advances at a rate of  7.0%.   The
     Partnership's  share of the total purchase price,  including
     the  cost  of  the  land, will be approximately  $1,587,000.
     After the construction is complete, the Lease Agreement will
     be   amended   to   require  annual   rental   payments   of
     approximately  $170,000.   The remaining  interests  in  the
     property  are owned by AEI Income & Growth Fund XXI  Limited
     Partnership and Net Lease Income & Growth Fund 84-A  Limited
     Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership.

     six  separate transactions to unrelated third parties.   The
     Partnership  received total net sale proceeds of  $1,270,244
     which  resulted in a total net gain of $242,586.  The  total
     cost  and  related accumulated depreciation of the interests

     an unrelated third party.  The Partnership received net sale
     proceeds of approximately $268,000, which resulted in a  net
     gain of approximately $70,000.
     
     In May, 1997, the Partnership sold 3,739 square feet of land
     from  the  Red Robin property on Jamboree Drive in  Colorado
     Springs, Colorado, pursuant to a Right of Way Agreement with
     the  state  of  Colorado Department of Transportation.   The
     Partnership received net proceeds of $40,829 which  resulted
     in  a  net loss of $32,248.  The original cost of the parcel
     of  land was $73,077.  The Partnership believes the state of
     Colorado   has   undervalued  the  land  and  is   currently
     negotiating to receive additional proceeds.
     
     During the first nine months of 1997 and the year 1996,  the
     Partnership  distributed net sale proceeds of  $102,413  and
     $100,570, respectively, to the Limited and General  Partners
     as  part  of  their  regular quarterly  distributions  which
     represented  a  return of capital of  $4.29  and  $4.17  per
     Limited  Partnership Unit, respectively.  The remaining  net
     sale  proceeds  will  either  be re-invested  in  additional
     properties or distributed to the Partners in the future.
     
     On  December  21,  1995, the Partnership purchased  a  33.0%
     interest  in  a  Media Play retail store  in  Apple  Valley,
     Minnesota  for $1,422,701.  The property was leased  to  The
     Musicland Group, Inc. (MGI) under a Lease Agreement  with  a
     primary  term  of  18  years and annual rental  payments  of
     $135,482.  The remaining interests in the property are owned
     by   AEI   Net  Lease  Income  &  Growth  Fund  XIX  Limited
     Partnership  and  AEI  Income  &  Growth  Fund  XXI  Limited
     Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership.
     
     In  December,  1996,  the Partnership  and  MGI  reached  an
     agreement in which MGI would buy out and terminate the Lease
     Agreement by making a payment of $800,000, which is equal to
     approximately two years' rent.  The Partnership's  share  of
     such  payment  was  $264,000.   Under  the  Agreement,   MGI
     remained in possession of the property and performed all  of
     its  obligations  under  the  net  lease  agreement  through
     January  31, 1997 at which time it vacated the property  and
     made  it  available for re-let to another tenant.   MGI  was
     responsible for all maintenance and management costs of  the
     property  through  January 31, 1997  after  which  date  the
     Partnership  became responsible for its  share  of  expenses
     associated with the property until it is re-let or sold.   A
     specialist in commercial property leasing has been  retained
     to locate a new tenant for the property.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

        For  the  nine months ended September 30, 1997 and  1996,
total  rental  income,  which  in  1996,  includes  the  minority
interests'  share of rental income was $1,423,412 and $1,474,543,
respectively.  The Partnership's share of 1996 rental income  was
$1,396,247.   In  1997,  rental income increased  $158,991,  when
compared to 1996, as the result of three property acquisitions in
1997  and  1996.   In addition, rent increases on six  properties
resulted  in a $16,555 increase in rental income in 1997.   These
increases  were partially offset by a reduction in rents  due  to
the  restructuring of the Media Play property as discussed below.
In  1997, the Partnership received $90,321 less in rent  than  in
1996 from Media Play.  In addition, property sales resulted in  a
decrease  in rental income of $58,060 in 1997.  During  the  same
periods, the Partnership earned investment income of $82,001  and
$159,627,  respectively.  This investment income  constituted  5%
and  10% of total income for the nine months ended September  30,
1997  and  1996,  respectively.  The percentage of  total  income
represented  by  investment  income  declines  as  proceeds   are
invested in properties.

        Musicland Group, Inc. (MGI), the lessee of the Media Play
retail  store in Apple Valley, Minnesota has recently experienced
financial  difficulties and has aggressively  been  restructuring
its  organization.  As part of the restructuring, the Partnership
and MGI reached an agreement in December, 1996 in which MGI would
buy out and terminate the Lease Agreement by making a payment  of
$800,000,  which is equal to approximately two years' rent.   The
Partnership's  share  of such payment was  $264,000.   Under  the
Agreement,  MGI  remained  in  possession  of  the  property  and
performed  all  of its obligations under the net lease  agreement
through  January 31, 1997 at which time it vacated  the  property
and  made  it  available for re-let to another tenant.   MGI  was
responsible  for  all  maintenance and management  costs  of  the
property   through  January  31,  1997  after  which   date   the
Partnership   became  responsible  for  its  share  of   expenses
associated  with  the property until it is  re-let  or  sold.   A
specialist  in commercial property leasing has been  retained  to
locate a new tenant for the property.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

        During the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
the  Partnership  paid  Partnership  administration  expenses  to
affiliated parties of $187,505 and $171,081, respectively.  These
administration  expenses  include  costs  associated   with   the
management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting
requirements and correspondence to the Limited Partners.   During
the   same   periods,   the  Partnership   incurred   Partnership
administration  and property management expenses  from  unrelated
parties  of  $80,627 and $30,917, respectively.   These  expenses
represent  direct payments to third parties for legal and  filing
fees,  direct administrative costs, outside audit and  accounting
costs,  taxes, insurance and other property costs.  The  increase
in  these expenses in 1997, when compared to 1996, is the  result
of  expenses incurred in 1997 related to the Media Play situation
discussed above.

         As   of  September  30,  1997,  the  Partnership's  cash
distribution   rate   was   7.25%   on   an   annualized   basis.
Distributions  of  Net  Cash Flow to the  General  Partners  were
subordinated  to  the  Limited  Partners  as  required   in   the
Partnership  Agreement.  As a result, 99%  of  distributions  and
income  were allocated to Limited Partners and 1% to the  General
Partners.

        Inflation  has  had  a  minimal  effect  on  income  from
operations.  The Leases contain cost of living increases to  rent
which  will result in an increase in rental income over the  term
of  the Leases.  Inflation also may cause the Partnership's  real
estate  to appreciate in value.  However, inflation and  changing
prices  may also have an adverse impact on the operating  margins
of  the  properties' tenants which could impair their ability  to
pay  rent and subsequently reduce the Partnership's Net Cash Flow
available for distributions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        The  Partnership's  primary  sources  of  cash  are  from
proceeds from the sale of Units, investment income, rental income
and proceeds from the sale of property.  Its primary uses of cash
are  investment in real properties, payment of expenses  involved
in  the  sale of units, the organization of the Partnership,  the
acquisition  of  properties, the management  of  properties,  the
administration   of   the  Partnership,  and   the   payment   of
distributions.

        While the Partnership is purchasing properties, cash flow
from  investing  activities (investment in  real  property)  will
remain  negative  and will constitute the principal  use  of  the
Partnership's  available cash flow.  This use of  cash  flow  for
investing  activities was offset by proceeds  from  the  sale  of
property.

        On  March  28, 1996, the Partnership purchased  a  18.50%
interest in a Garden Ridge store in Pineville, North Carolina for
$1,667,092.  The property is leased to Garden Ridge, L.P. under a
Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual rental
payments  of  $174,319.  The remaining interests in the  property
are  owned  by  AEI  Net Lease Income & Growth Fund  XIX  Limited
Partnership and AEI Income & Growth Fund XXI Limited Partnership,
affiliates of the Partnership.

        On  April 10, 1996, the Partnership purchased a 90.71346%
interest in a Champps Americana restaurant in Lyndhurst, Ohio for
$2,460,394.    The   property  is  leased  to  Americana   Dining
Corporation  under a Lease Agreement with a primary  term  of  20
years  and  annual  rental payments of $258,886.   The  remaining
interests  in  the  property  were purchased  by  the  Individual
General  Partner  of the Partnership, and AEI  Institutional  Net
Lease Fund '93, an affiliate of the Partnership.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

       In August, 1995, the Partnership entered into an Agreement
to  purchase  an  Italianni's restaurant in  Columbus,  Ohio  for
approximately  $1,440,000.  The Agreement with Ristoranti  Karlo,
Inc.  included a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 15  years
and  annual  rental  payments  of  approximately  $162,000.   The
Partnership  advanced  $1,215,483 for  the  construction  of  the
property  and was charging interest on the Note at  the  rate  of
7.0%.  On May 1, 1996, the Partnership began charging interest on
the Note at the rate of 11.25%.

        In  October,  1996, the parties agreed to  terminate  the
Agreement.  Ristoranti Karlo, Inc. reimbursed the Partnership for
all  construction  advances, accrued  interest  and  for  certain
expenses.

        On  April  21,  1997,  the Partnership  purchased  a  37%
interest  in  a  parcel  of  land  in  Schaumburg,  Illinois  for
$653,756.   The  land  is  leased  to  Champps  Americana,   Inc.
(Champps) under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years
and  annual  rental  payments of $49,910.  The  Partnership  also
entered  into a Development Financing Agreement under  which  the
Partnership will advance funds to Champps for the construction of
a  Champps  Americana restaurant on the site.  Through  September
30,   1997,  the  Partnership  had  advanced  $158,170  for   the
construction  of  the property and was charging interest  on  the
advances at a rate of 7.0%.  The Partnership's share of the total
purchase  price,  including  the  cost  of  the  land,  will   be
approximately  $1,587,000.  After the construction  is  complete,
the  Lease  Agreement  will be amended to require  annual  rental
payments  of approximately $170,000.  The remaining interests  in
the  property are owned by AEI Income & Growth Fund  XXI  Limited
Partnership  and  Net  Lease Income & Growth  Fund  84-A  Limited
Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership.

        Through September 30, 1997, the Partnership sold 87.8418%
of the Arby's/Mrs. Winner's restaurant in Smyrna, Georgia, in six
separate   transactions   to  unrelated   third   parties.    The
Partnership received total net sale proceeds of $1,270,244  which
resulted  in  a total net gain of $242,586.  The total  cost  and
related  accumulated  depreciation  of  the  interests  sold  was
$1,089,660 and $62,002, respectively.  For the nine months  ended
September  30,  1997  and 1996, the net  gain  was  $155,305  and
$35,944, respectively.

        On  September 30, 1997, the Partnership sold  a  9.21838%
interest in the Applebee's restaurant in Middletown, Ohio  to  an
unrelated  third  party.   The  Partnership  received  net   sale
proceeds  of  $135,839 which resulted in a net gain  of  $37,703.
The  total  cost  and  related accumulated  depreciation  of  the
interest sold was $107,517 and $9,381, respectively.

        On  October  9, 1997, the Partnership sold an  additional
11.0405%  in  the  Arby's/Mrs.  Winner's  restaurant  in  Smyrna,
Georgia  to  an unrelated third party.  The Partnership  received
net sale proceeds of approximately $166,000, which resulted in  a
net gain of approximately $38,000.

        On  October 10, 1997, the Partnership sold an  additional
18.6076% in the Applebee's restaurant in Middletown, Ohio  to  an
unrelated  third  party.   The  Partnership  received  net   sale
proceeds of approximately $268,000, which resulted in a net  gain
of approximately $70,000.

        In  May, 1997, the Partnership sold 3,739 square feet  of
land  from  the Red Robin property on Jamboree Drive in  Colorado
Springs, Colorado, pursuant to a Right of Way Agreement with  the
state  of Colorado Department of Transportation.  The Partnership
received net proceeds of $40,829 which resulted in a net loss  of
$32,248.   The  original cost of the parcel of land was  $73,077.
The  Partnership  believes the state of Colorado has  undervalued
the  land  and  is  currently negotiating to  receive  additional
proceeds.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

        During  the first nine months of 1997 and the year  1996,
the  Partnership  distributed net sale proceeds of  $102,413  and
$100,570,  respectively, to the Limited and General  Partners  as
part of their regular quarterly distributions which represented a
return  of  capital  of $4.29 and $4.17 per  Limited  Partnership
Unit,  respectively.  The remaining net sale proceeds will either
be  re-invested  in additional properties or distributed  to  the
Partners in the future.

       The Partnership's primary use of cash flow is distribution
and  redemption  payments to Partners.  The Partnership  declares
its  regular  quarterly  distributions before  the  end  of  each
quarter and pays the distribution in the first week after the end
of  each quarter.  The Partnership attempts to maintain a  stable
distribution  rate from quarter to quarter.  Redemption  payments
are  paid  to  redeeming Partners in the fourth quarter  of  each
year.

        The  Partnership may acquire Units from Limited  Partners
who  have tendered their Units to the Partnership. Such Units may
be  acquired at a discount.  The Partnership is not obligated  to
purchase  in  any  year  more than 5%  of  the  number  of  Units
outstanding at the beginning of the year.  In no event shall  the
Partnership  be  obligated to purchase  Units  if,  in  the  sole
discretion  of the Managing General Partner, such purchase  would
impair the capital or operation of the Partnership.

        On  October 1, 1997, sixteen Limited Partners redeemed  a
total of 267.2 Partnership Units for $232,863 in accordance  with
the  Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership acquired these Units
using  Net Cash Flow from operations.  In prior years, twenty-one
Limited Partners redeemed a total of 347.7 Partnership Units  for
$312,466.    The  redemptions  increase  the  remaining   Limited
PartnersO ownership interest in the Partnership.

       The continuing rent payments from the properties, together
with  cash generated from the property sales, should be  adequate
to  fund  continuing  distributions and  meet  other  Partnership
obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.

     It is a contingency upon Seller's obligations hereunder that
two  (2)  originals of Co-Tenancy Agreement in the form  attached
hereto  duly  executed by Buyer and Seller and  dated  on  escrow
closing date be delivered to the Seller on the Closing date.

      Buyer may cancel this agreement for ANY REASON in its  sole
discretion  by  delivering a cancellation notice, return  receipt
requested,  to Seller and escrow holder before the expiration  of
any  Review  Period. Such notice shall be deemed  effective  only
upon  receipt  by Seller.  If this Agreement is not cancelled  as
set forth above, the First Payment shall be non-refundable unless
Seller shall default hereunder.

      If  Buyer  cancels this Agreement as permitted  under  this
Section,  except  for  any  escrow  cancellation  fees  and   any
liabilities  under sections 15(a) of this Agreement  (which  will
survive),  Buyer  (after execution of such  documents  reasonably
requested by Seller to evidence the termination hereof) shall  be
returned  its  First Payment, and Buyer will have  absolutely  no
rights,  claims  or interest of any type in connection  with  the
Property  or this transaction, regardless of any alleged  conduct
by Seller or anyone else.

      Unless this Agreement is canceled by Buyer pursuant to  the
terms  hereof, if Buyer fails to make the Second Payment,  Seller
shall   be  entitled  to  retain  the  First  Payment  and  Buyer
irrevocably  will be deemed to have canceled this  Agreement  and
relinquish  all rights in and to the Property unless Buyer  makes
the  Second  Payment  when required. If  this  Agreement  is  not
canceled  and  the Second Payment is made when required,  all  of
Buyer's conditions and contingencies will be deemed satisfied.

7.  Escrow. Escrow shall be opened by Seller and funds  deposited
in  escrow upon acceptance of this Agreement by both parties. The
escrow  holder  will  be a nationally-recognized  escrow  company
selected by Seller. A copy of this Agreement will be delivered to
the  escrow holder and will serve as escrow instructions together
with the escrow holder's standard instructions and any additional
instructions required by the escrow holder to clarify its  rights
and  duties  (and  the  parties agree to  sign  these  additional
instructions).  If  there  is any conflict  between  these  other
instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

8. Title. Closing will be conditioned on the agreement of a title
company  selected by Seller to issue an Owner's policy  of  title
insurance, dated as of the close of escrow, in an amount equal to
the  purchase price, insuring that Buyer will own insurable title
to  the  Property  subject only to: the title company's  standard
exceptions;  current real property taxes and assessments;  survey
exceptions; the rights of parties in possession pursuant  to  the
lease  defined in paragraph 11 below; and other items  of  record
disclosed to Buyer during the contingency period.

      Buyer shall be allowed five (5) days after receipt of  said
commitment  for examination and the making of any  objections  to
marketability thereto, said objections to be made in  writing  or
deemed  waived.  If any objections are so made, the Seller  shall
be  allowed eighty (80) days to make such title marketable or  in
the  alternative  to  obtain  a commitment  for  insurable  title
insuring over Buyer's objections.  If Seller shall decide to make
no  efforts to make title marketable, or is unable to make  title
marketable or obtain insurable title, (after execution  by  Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination  hereof) Buyer's First Payment shall be returned  and
this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and
effect.

     Pending correction of title, the payments hereunder required
shall  be postponed, but upon correction of title and within  ten
(10)  days  after written notice of correction to the Buyer,  the
parties shall perform this Agreement according to its terms.

9.  Closing Costs.  Seller will pay one-half of escrow fees,  the
cost  of  the  title  commitment and  any  brokerage  commissions
payable  except  those brokerage commissions incurred  by  Buyer.

Insurance  Policy  in the full amount of the purchase  price,  if
Buyer  shall  decide to purchase the same.  Buyer  will  pay  all
recording fees, one-half of the escrow fees, and the cost  of  an
update  to  the  Survey in Sellers possession (if  an  update  is
required by Buyer.)  Each party will pay its own attorney's  fees
and costs to document and close this transaction.

10. Real Estate Taxes, Special Assessments and Prorations.

     (a)  Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a
     part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth
     in  paragraph 11(a)(i), the parties acknowledge  that  there
     shall  be no need for a real estate tax proration.  However,
     Seller  represents  that to the best of its  knowledge,  all
     real  estate  taxes and installments of special  assessments
     due  and  payable in all years prior to the year of  Closing
     have  been paid in full.  Unpaid levied and pending  special
     assessments  existing on the date of Closing  shall  be  the
     responsibility  of Buyer and Seller in proportion  to  their
     respective  Tenant in Common interests.   Seller  and  Buyer
     shall  likewise pay all taxes due and payable  in  the  year
     after   Closing  and  any  unpaid  installments  of  special
     assessments payable therewith and thereafter, if such unpaid
     levied and pending special assessments and real estate taxes
     are not paid by any tenant of the Entire Property.
     
     (b)   All income and all operating expenses from the  Entire
     Property  shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted
     by them as of the date of Closing.  Seller shall be entitled
     to  all  income  earned  and shall be  responsible  for  all
     expenses  incurred prior to the date of Closing,  and  Buyer
     shall  be entitled to its proportionate share of all  income
     earned and shall be responsible for its proportionate  share
     of  all  operating expenses of the Property incurred on  and
     after the date of Closing.
     
11. Seller's Representation and Agreements.

     (a)  Seller represents and warrants as of this date that:

     (i)  Except for the lease in existence between AEI Net Lease
     Income & Growth Fund XX Limited Partnership and RTM Georgia,
     Inc.("Tenant"), dated May 16, 1994, Seller is not  aware  of
     any  leases  of  the Property.  The above  referenced  lease
     agreement  has an option to purchase in favor of the  Tenant
     as  set  forth  in article 34 of said lease agreement.   The
     above  referenced lease agreement also has a first right  of
     refusal in favor of the Tenant as set forth in Article 35 of
     said  lease  agreement,  which  right  shall  apply  to  any
     disposition of the property by Buyer after this transaction.

     condemnation  proceedings against the Property  or  Seller's
     interest in the Property.

     forth  in  paragraph (b) below, Seller is not aware  of  any
     contracts Seller has executed that would be binding on Buyer
     after the closing date.
          
     (b)   Provided  that  Buyer performs  its  obligations  when
     required, Seller agrees that it will not enter into any  new
     contracts  prior  to the Closing Date that would  materially
     affect  the  Property  and be binding  on  Buyer  after  the
     Closing  Date without Buyer's prior consent, which will  not
     be  unreasonably withheld.  However, Buyer acknowledges that
     Seller retains the right both prior to and after the Closing
     Date  to  freely  transfer  all or  a  portion  of  Seller's
     remaining   undivided  interest  in  the  Entire   Property,
     provided such sale shall not encumber the Property

     Buyer's  option exercised, if at all, by written  notice  to
     Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer has received written
     notice  from Seller of said destruction or damage.   Seller,
     however,  shall  have  the right to  adjust  or  settle  any
     insured  loss  until  (i)  all contingencies  set  forth  in
     Paragraph 6 hereof have been satisfied, or waived; and  (ii)

     Buyer's right to terminate this Agreement.  If Buyer  elects
     to  proceed  and  to  consummate the purchase  despite  said
     damage  or  destruction, there shall be no reduction  in  or
     abatement of the purchase price, and Seller shall assign  to
     Buyer the Seller's right, title, and interest in and to  all

     extent  that the same are payable with respect to damage  to
     the  Property, subject to rights of any Tenant of the Entire
     Property.
     
     If  the cost of repair is less than $10,000.00, Buyer  shall
     be  obligated  to  otherwise  perform  hereinunder  with  no
     adjustment  to  the Purchase Price, reduction or  abatement,
     and  Seller shall assign Seller's right, title and  interest
     in and to all insurance proceeds pro-rata in relation to the
     Entire  Property,  subject to rights of any  Tenant  of  the

     (b)   If,  prior  to  closing, the  Property,  or  any  part
     thereof,  is  taken by eminent domain, this Agreement  shall
     become null and void, at Buyer's option.  If Buyer elects to
     proceed  and to consummate the purchase despite said taking,
     there  shall  be  no  reduction in,  or  abatement  of,  the
     purchase  price,  and  Seller  shall  assign  to  Buyer  the

shall  be immediately returned to Buyer (after execution by Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the

Property  as  "replacement property" to  accomplish  a  tax  free
exchange,   Buyer   acknowledges  that   Seller   has   made   no
representations,  warranties, or agreements to Buyer  or  Buyer's
agents  that  the transaction contemplated by the Agreement  will
qualify  for such tax treatment, nor has there been any  reliance
thereon by Buyer respecting the legal or tax implications of  the
transactions contemplated hereby.  Buyer further represents  that
it has sought and obtained such third party advice and counsel as
it  deems  necessary in regards to the tax implications  of  this
transaction.

          (Arby's/Mrs. Winners Restaurant - Smyrna, GA)
                                
                                
THIS CO-TENANCY AGREEMENT,

Made and entered into as of the 14th day of August , 1997, by and
between Russell C. Mayer, Trustee and Dixie R. Mayer, Trustee, or
their  Successor Trustees of The Russell C. and  Dixie  R.  Mayer
Trust, dated April 11, 1995 (hereinafter called "Mayer"), and AEI
Net   Lease   Income   &  Growth  Fund  XX  Limited   Partnership
(hereinafter  called "Fund XX") (Mayer, Fund XX  (and  any  other
Owner  in  Fee where the context so indicates) being  hereinafter
sometimes collectively called "Co-Tenants" and referred to in the
neuter gender).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Fund XX presently owns an undivided 26.6851% interest in
and  to,  and Mayer presently owns an undivided 12.3188% interest
in  and  to,  and  Kuster  presently owns an  undivided  13.4236%
interest in and to, and the Mark A. Benson Living Trust presently

County  of  Cobb, and State of Georgia, (legally  described  upon
Exhibit A attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof)  and  in
and  to  the  improvements  located thereon  (hereinafter  called
"Premises");

WHEREAS,  The  parties  hereto wish to provide  for  the  orderly
operation and management of the Premises and Mayer's interest  by
Fund XX; the continued leasing of space within the Premises;  for
the  distribution  of  income from and the  pro-rata  sharing  in
expenses of the Premises.

NOW  THEREFORE, in consideration of the purchase by Mayer  of  an
undivided  interest  in and to the Premises,  for  at  least  One
Dollar  ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration by  the
parties  hereto  to  one another in hand paid,  the  receipt  and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and of  the  mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, it is hereby agreed by
and between the parties hereto, as follows:

1.    The  operation  and  management of the  Premises  shall  be
delegated  to  Fund  XX, or its designated agent,  successors  or
assigns.  Provided, however, if Fund XX shall  sell  all  of  its
interest in the Premises, the duties and obligations of  Fund  XX
respecting  management  of  the Premises  as  set  forth  herein,
including but not limited to paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 hereof, shall
be exercised by the holder or holders of a majority undivided co-
tenancy interest in the Premises. Except as hereinafter expressly
provided to the contrary, each of the parties hereto agrees to be
bound   by  the  decisions  of  Fund  XX  with  respect  to   all
administrative,  operational  and  management  matters   of   the
property  comprising the Premises, including but not  limited  to
the  management of the net lease agreement  for the Premises. The
parties  hereto  hereby  designate Fund  XX  as  their  sole  and
exclusive agent to deal with any property agent or tenant and  to
monitor, execute and enforce the terms of leases of space  within
the  Premises,  including  but not  limited  to  any  amendments,
consents  to  assignment, sublet, releases  or  modifications  to
leases  or  guarantees  of  lease  or  easements  affecting   the
Premises,  on  behalf of Mayer. Only Fund XX may  obligate  Mayer
with respect to any expense for the Premises.

As  further  set forth in paragraph 2 hereof, Fund XX  agrees  to
require any Tenant of the Premises to name Mayer as an insured or
additional  insured in all insurance policies  provided  for,  or
contemplated by, any lease on the



Co-Tenant Initial: /s/ DM /s/ RCM
Co-Tenancy Agreement for Arby's/Mrs. Winners - Smyrna, GA




Premises.   Fund  XX  shall  use  its  best  efforts  to   obtain
endorsements  adding  Co-Tenants to  said  policies  from  Tenant
within  30 days of commencement of this agreement. In any  event,
Fund  XX  shall distribute any insurance proceeds it may receive,
to  the extent consistent with any lease on the Premises, to  the
Co-Tenants  in  proportion to their respective ownership  of  the
Premises.

2.    Income,  expenses and any net proceeds from a sale  of  the
Premises shall be allocated among the Co-Tenants in proportion to
their  respective  share(s) of ownership. Shares  of  net  income
shall be pro-rated for any partial calendar years included within
the  term of this Agreement. Fund XX may offset against,  pay  to
itself  and  deduct  from any payment due  to  Mayer  under  this
Agreement, and may pay to itself the amount of Mayer's  share  of
any  legitimate expenses of the Premises which are  not  paid  by
Mayer  to  Fund  XX or its assigns, within ten  (10)  days  after
demand  by  Fund XX. In the event there is insufficient operating
income  from  which to deduct Mayer's unpaid share  of  operating
expenses,  Fund  XX  may pursue any and all  legal  remedies  for
collection.

Operating  Expenses  shall include all normal operating  expense,
including  but not limited to: maintenance, utilities,  supplies,
labor, management, advertising and promotional expenses, salaries
and wages of rental and management personnel, leasing commissions
to  third  parties, a monthly accrual to pay insurance  premiums,
real  estate taxes, installments of special assessments  and  for
structural repairs and replacements, management fees, legal  fees
and accounting fees, but excluding all operating expenses paid by
Tenant under terms of any lease agreement of the Premises.

Mayer  has  no  requirement to, but has nonetheless,  elected  to
retain,  and agrees to annually reimburse, Fund XX in the  amount
of  $595 for the expenses, direct and indirect, incurred by  Fund
XX in providing quarterly accounting and distributions of Mayer's
share of net income and for tracking, reporting and assessing the
calculation of Mayer's share of operating expenses incurred  from
the  Premises. This invoice amount shall be pro-rated for partial
years  and  Mayer authorizes Fund XX to deduct such  amount  from
Mayer's  share of revenue from the Premises. Mayer may  terminate
this  agreement respecting accounting and distributions  in  this
paragraph  at  any time and seek to collect its share  of  rental
stream  directly  from  the tenant; however  enforcement  of  all
provisions  of  the  lease remains the  sole  right  of  Fund  XX
pursuant  to  section  1  hereof.   Fund  XX  may  terminate  its
obligation  under  this paragraph upon 30 days  notice  to  Mayer
prior  to  the end of each anniversary hereof, unless  agreed  in
writing to the contrary.

3.    Full, accurate and complete books of account shall be  kept
in  accordance  with generally accepted accounting principles  at
Fund  XX's principal office, and each Co-Tenant shall have access
to  such  books and may inspect and copy any part thereof  during
normal  business hours. Within ninety (90) days after the end  of
each  calendar year during the term hereof, Fund XX shall prepare
an  accurate  income statement for the ownership of the  Premises
for  said calendar year and shall furnish copies of the  same  to
all  Co-Tenants. Quarterly, as its share, Mayer shall be entitled
to  receive 12.3188% of all items of income and expense generated
by the Premises. Upon receipt of said accounting, if the payments
received  by each Co-Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 3  do  not
equal,  in the aggregate, the amounts which each are entitled  to
receive  with respect to said calendar year pursuant to Paragraph
2 hereof, an appropriate adjustment shall be made so that each Co-
Tenant receives the amount to which it is entitled.

4.    If  Net Income from the Premises is less than $0.00  (i.e.,
the  Premises  operates  at a loss), or if capital  improvements,
repairs, and/or replacements, for which adequate reserves do  not
exist,  need  to  be made to the Premises, the  Co-Tenants,  upon
receipt of a written request therefor from Fund XX, shall, within
fifteen  (15) business days after receipt of notice, make payment
to  Fund  XX sufficient to pay said net operating losses  and  to
provide necessary operating capital for the premises and  to  pay
for  said capital improvements, repairs and/or replacements,  all
in  proportion  to  their  undivided  interests  in  and  to  the
Premises.

5.    Co-Tenants  may, at any time, sell, finance,  or  otherwise
create  a lien upon their interest in the Premises but only  upon
their  interest  and not upon any part of the interest  held,  or
owned, by any other Co-Tenant.  All Co-Tenants reserve the  right
to escrow proceeds from a sale of their interests in the Premises
to obtain tax deferral by the purchase of replacement property.

6.   If any Co-Tenant  shall be in default with respect to any of
its  obligations hereunder, and if said default is not  corrected
within  thirty  (30)  days after receipt by said  defaulting  Co-
Tenant  of written notice of said default, or within a reasonable
period  if  said default does not consist solely of a failure  to
pay money, the remaining Co-Tenant(s) may resort to any available
remedy to cure said default at law, in equity, or by statute,  or
set forth herein.

7.    This  property management agreement shall continue in  full
force  and effect and shall bind and inure to the benefit of  the
Co-Tenant  and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns  until
May  31,  2024 or upon the sale of the entire fee simple interest
in  the  Premises in accordance with the terms hereof and  proper
disbursement  of  the  proceeds thereof,  whichever  shall  first
occur.   Unless  specifically identified as a  personal  contract
right  or  obligation herein, this agreement shall run  with  any
interest  in  the Property and with the title thereto.  Once  any
person, party or entity has ceased to have an interest in fee  in
any  portion  of the Entire Property, it shall not be  bound  by,
subject  to  or  benefit from the terms hereof;  but  its  heirs,
executors,  administrators, personal representatives,  successors
or  assigns,  as  the  case may be, shall be substituted  for  it
hereunder.   Mayer agrees to notify Fund XX upon the  appointment
of  any successor trustee, or any amendment of The Russell C. and
Dixie  Mayer Trust affecting the powers of the Trustee to  manage
or dispose of the Mayer's interest in the Premises.

8.    Any notice or election required or permitted to be given or
served by any party hereto to, or upon any other, shall be deemed

Agreement, if said notice or elections addressed as follows;

     Buyer Initial: /s/ V.D.F.
     Purchase Agreement for Arby's/Mrs. Winners - Smyrna, GA
     
     
     It is a contingency upon Seller's obligations hereunder that
two  (2)  originals of Co-Tenancy Agreement in the form  attached
hereto  duly  executed by Buyer and Seller and  dated  on  escrow
closing date be delivered to the Seller on the Closing date.

      Buyer may cancel this agreement for ANY REASON in its  sole
discretion  by  delivering a cancellation notice, return  receipt
requested,  to Seller and escrow holder before the expiration  of
any  Review  Period. Such notice shall be deemed  effective  only
upon  receipt  by Seller.  If this Agreement is not cancelled  as
set forth above, the First Payment shall be non-refundable unless
Seller shall default hereunder.

      If  Buyer  cancels this Agreement as permitted  under  this
Section,  except  for  any  escrow  cancellation  fees  and   any
liabilities  under sections 15(a) of this Agreement  (which  will
survive),  Buyer  (after execution of such  documents  reasonably
requested by Seller to evidence the termination hereof) shall  be
returned  its  First Payment, and Buyer will have  absolutely  no
rights,  claims  or interest of any type in connection  with  the
Property  or this transaction, regardless of any alleged  conduct
by Seller or anyone else.

      Unless this Agreement is canceled by Buyer pursuant to  the
terms  hereof, if Buyer fails to make the Second Payment,  Seller
shall   be  entitled  to  retain  the  First  Payment  and  Buyer
irrevocably  will be deemed to have canceled this  Agreement  and
relinquish  all rights in and to the Property unless Buyer  makes
the  Second  Payment  when required. If  this  Agreement  is  not
canceled  and  the Second Payment is made when required,  all  of
Buyer's conditions and contingencies will be deemed satisfied.

7.  Escrow. Escrow shall be opened by Seller and funds  deposited
in  escrow upon acceptance of this Agreement by both parties. The
escrow  holder  will  be a nationally-recognized  escrow  company
selected by Seller. A copy of this Agreement will be delivered to
the  escrow holder and will serve as escrow instructions together
with the escrow holder's standard instructions and any additional
instructions required by the escrow holder to clarify its  rights
and  duties  (and  the  parties agree to  sign  these  additional
instructions).  If  there  is any conflict  between  these  other
instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

8. Title. Closing will be conditioned on the agreement of a title
company  selected by Seller to issue an Owner's policy  of  title
insurance, dated as of the close of escrow, in an amount equal to
the  purchase price, insuring that Buyer will own insurable title
to  the  Property  subject only to: the title company's  standard
exceptions;  current real property taxes and assessments;  survey
exceptions; the rights of parties in possession pursuant  to  the
lease  defined in paragraph 11 below; and other items  of  record
disclosed to Buyer during the contingency period.

      Buyer shall be allowed five (5) days after receipt of  said
commitment  for examination and the making of any  objections  to
marketability thereto, said objections to be made in  writing  or
deemed  waived.  If any objections are so made, the Seller  shall
be  allowed eighty (80) days to make such title marketable or  in
the  alternative  to  obtain  a commitment  for  insurable  title
insuring over Buyer's objections.  If Seller shall decide to make
no  efforts to make title marketable, or is unable to make  title
marketable or obtain insurable title, (after execution  by  Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination  hereof) Buyer's First Payment shall be returned  and
this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and
effect.

     Pending correction of title, the payments hereunder required
shall  be postponed, but upon correction of title and within  ten
(10)  days  after written notice of correction to the Buyer,  the
parties shall perform this Agreement according to its terms.

     Purchase Agreement for Arby's/Mrs. Winners - Smyrna, GA



9.  Closing Costs.  Seller will pay one-half of escrow fees,  the
cost  of  the  title  commitment and  any  brokerage  commissions
payable  except  those brokerage commissions incurred  by  Buyer.
The  Buyer will pay the cost of issuing a Standard  Owners  Title
Insurance  Policy  in the full amount of the purchase  price,  if
Buyer  shall  decide to purchase the same.  Buyer  will  pay  all
recording fees, one-half of the escrow fees, and the cost  of  an
update  to  the  Survey in Sellers possession (if  an  update  is
required by Buyer.)  Each party will pay its own attorney's  fees
and costs to document and close this transaction.

10. Real Estate Taxes, Special Assessments and Prorations.

     (a)  Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a
     part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth
     in  paragraph 11(a)(i), the parties acknowledge  that  there
     shall  be no need for a real estate tax proration.  However,
     Seller  represents  that to the best of its  knowledge,  all
     real  estate  taxes and installments of special  assessments
     due  and  payable in all years prior to the year of  Closing
     have  been paid in full.  Unpaid levied and pending  special
     assessments  existing on the date of Closing  shall  be  the
     responsibility  of Buyer and Seller in proportion  to  their
     respective  Tenant in Common interests.   Seller  and  Buyer
     shall  likewise pay all taxes due and payable  in  the  year
     after   Closing  and  any  unpaid  installments  of  special
     assessments payable therewith and thereafter, if such unpaid
     levied and pending special assessments and real estate taxes
     are not paid by any tenant of the Entire Property.
     
     (b)   All income and all operating expenses from the  Entire
     Property  shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted
     by them as of the date of Closing.  Seller shall be entitled
     to  all  income  earned  and shall be  responsible  for  all
     expenses  incurred prior to the date of Closing,  and  Buyer
     shall  be entitled to its proportionate share of all  income
     earned and shall be responsible for its proportionate  share
     of  all  operating expenses of the Property incurred on  and
     after the date of Closing.
     
11. Seller's Representation and Agreements.

     (a)  Seller represents and warrants as of this date that:

     (i)  Except for the lease in existence between AEI Net Lease
     Income & Growth Fund XX Limited Partnership and RTM Georgia,
     Inc.("Tenant"), dated May 16, 1994, Seller is not  aware  of
     any  leases  of  the Property.  The above  referenced  lease
     agreement  has an option to purchase in favor of the  Tenant
     as  set  forth  in article 34 of said lease agreement.   The
     above  referenced lease agreement also has a first right  of
     refusal in favor of the Tenant as set forth in Article 35 of
     said  lease  agreement,  which  right  shall  apply  to  any
     disposition of the Property by Buyer after this transaction.

     (ii)   It  is  not  aware  of  any  pending  litigation   or
     condemnation  proceedings against the Property  or  Seller's
     interest in the Property.
     
     (iii)   Except as previously disclosed to Buyer and  as  set
     forth  in  paragraph (b) below, Seller is not aware  of  any
     contracts Seller has executed that would be binding on Buyer
     after the closing date.
          
     (b)   Provided  that  Buyer performs  its  obligations  when
     required, Seller agrees that it will not enter into any  new
     contracts  prior  to the Closing Date that would  materially
     affect  the  Property  and be binding  on  Buyer  after  the
     Closing  Date without Buyer's prior consent, which will  not
     be  unreasonably withheld.  However, Buyer acknowledges that
     Seller retains the right both prior to and after the Closing
     Date  to  freely  transfer  all or  a  portion  of  Seller's
     remaining   undivided  interest  in  the  Entire   Property,
     provided such sale shall not encumber the Property

     transaction  contemplated  hereby  will  violate  or  be  in
     conflict with (a) any applicable provisions of law, (b)  any
     order of any court or other agency of government having

     jurisdiction  hereof, or (c) any agreement or instrument  to
     which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer is bound.
     
16. Damages, Destruction and Eminent Domain.

     (a)   If, prior to closing, the Property or any part thereof
     be  destroyed  or further damaged by fire, the elements,  or
     any cause, due to events occurring subsequent to the date of
     this Agreement to the extent that the cost of repair exceeds
     $10,000.00,  this Agreement shall become null and  void,  at
     Buyer's  option exercised, if at all, by written  notice  to
     Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer has received written
     notice  from Seller of said destruction or damage.   Seller,
     however,  shall  have  the right to  adjust  or  settle  any
     insured  loss  until  (i)  all contingencies  set  forth  in
     Paragraph 6 hereof have been satisfied, or waived; and  (ii)
     any  ten-day  Period provided for above in this Subparagraph
     16a  for  Buyer  to  elect to terminate this  Agreement  has
     expired  or  Buyer has, by written notice to Seller,  waived
     Buyer's right to terminate this Agreement.  If Buyer  elects
     to  proceed  and  to  consummate the purchase  despite  said
     damage  or  destruction, there shall be no reduction  in  or
     abatement of the purchase price, and Seller shall assign  to
     Buyer the Seller's right, title, and interest in and to  all
     insurance  proceeds  (pro-rata in  relation  to  the  Entire
     Property) resulting from said damage or destruction  to  the
     extent  that the same are payable with respect to damage  to
     the  Property, subject to rights of any Tenant of the Entire
     Property.
     
     If  the cost of repair is less than $10,000.00, Buyer  shall
     be  obligated  to  otherwise  perform  hereinunder  with  no
     adjustment  to  the Purchase Price, reduction or  abatement,
     and  Seller shall assign Seller's right, title and  interest
     in and to all insurance proceeds pro-rata in relation to the
     Entire  Property,  subject to rights of any  Tenant  of  the
     Entire Property.
     
     (b)   If,  prior  to  closing, the  Property,  or  any  part
     thereof,  is  taken by eminent domain, this Agreement  shall
     become null and void, at Buyer's option.  If Buyer elects to
     proceed  and to consummate the purchase despite said taking,
     there  shall  be  no  reduction in,  or  abatement  of,  the
     purchase  price,  and  Seller  shall  assign  to  Buyer  the
     Seller's  right,  title, and interest in and  to  any  award
     made, or to be made, in the condemnation proceeding pro-rata
     in relation to the Entire Property, subject to rights of any
     Tenant of the Entire Property.
     
      In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer  as
provided  above  in  Subparagraph 16a or 16b, the  First  Payment
shall  be immediately returned to Buyer (after execution by Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination hereof).

17. Buyer's 1031 Tax Free Exchange.

      While  Seller  acknowledges that Buyer  is  purchasing  the
Property  as  "replacement property" to  accomplish  a  tax  free
exchange,   Buyer   acknowledges  that   Seller   has   made   no
representations,  warranties, or agreements to Buyer  or  Buyer's
agents  that  the transaction contemplated by the Agreement  will
qualify  for such tax treatment, nor has there been any  reliance
thereon by Buyer respecting the legal or tax implications of  the
transactions contemplated hereby.  Buyer further represents  that
it has sought and obtained such third party advice and counsel as
it  deems  necessary in regards to the tax implications  of  this
transaction.

      Buyer  wishes  to  novate/assign the ownership  rights  and
interest of this Purchase Agreement to Exodus Exchange, Inc.  who

the  ownership  interest in subject property to Buyer  under  the
same   terms  and  conditions  as  documented  in  this  Purchase
Agreement.   Buyer asks the Seller to cooperate in the perfection
of  such an exchange at no additional cost or expense or delay in
time.  Buyer hereby indemnifies and holds Seller harmless

     Buyer Initial: /s/ V.D.F.
     Purchase Agreement for Applebee's - Middletown, OH
     
     
     
     It is a contingency upon Seller's obligations hereunder that
two  (2)  copies  of  Co-Tenancy Agreement in the  form  attached
hereto  duly  executed by Buyer and Seller and  dated  on  escrow
closing date be delivered to the Seller on the closing date.

      Buyer may cancel this agreement for ANY REASON in its  sole
discretion  by  delivering a cancellation notice, return  receipt
requested,  to Seller and escrow holder before the expiration  of
the  Review  Period. Such notice shall be deemed  effective  only
upon  receipt  by Seller.  If this Agreement is not cancelled  as
set forth above, the First Payment shall be non-refundable unless
Seller shall default hereunder.

      If  Buyer  cancels this Agreement as permitted  under  this
Section,  except  for  any  escrow  cancellation  fees  and   any
liabilities  under sections 15(a) of this agreement  (which  will
survive),  Buyer  (after execution of such  documents  reasonably
requested by Seller to evidence the termination hereof) shall  be
returned  its  First Payment, and Buyer will have  absolutely  no
rights,  claims  or interest of any type in connection  with  the
Property  or this transaction, regardless of any alleged  conduct
by Seller or anyone else.

      Unless this Agreement is canceled by Buyer pursuant to  the
terms  hereof, if Buyer fails to make the Second Payment,  Seller
shall   be  entitled  to  retain  the  First  Payment  and  Buyer
irrevocably will be deemed to be in default under this Agreement.
Seller  may, at its option, retain the First Payment and  declare
this Agreement null and void, in which event Buyer will be deemed
to  have canceled this Agreement and relinquish all rights in and
to  the  Property or Seller may exercise its rights under Section
14  hereof.   If  this Agreement is not canceled and  the  Second
Payment  is  made  when required, all of Buyer's  conditions  and
contingencies will be deemed satisfied.

7.  Escrow. Escrow shall be opened by Seller and funds  deposited
in  escrow upon acceptance of this agreement by both parties. The
escrow  holder  will  be a nationally-recognized  escrow  company
selected by Seller. A copy of this Agreement will be delivered to
the  escrow holder and will serve as escrow instructions together
with the escrow holder's standard instructions and any additional
instructions required by the escrow holder to clarify its  rights
and  duties  (and  the  parties agree to  sign  these  additional
instructions).  If  there  is any conflict  between  these  other
instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

8.   Title.  Closing will be conditioned on the  agreement  of  a
title  company selected by Seller to issue an Owner's  policy  of
title  insurance, dated as of the close of escrow, in  an  amount
equal  to  the  purchase  price, insuring  that  Buyer  will  own
insurable  title  to  the Property subject  only  to:  the  title
company's  standard exceptions;  current real property taxes  and
assessments;  survey  exceptions;  the  rights  of   parties   in
possession pursuant to the lease definded in paragraph 11  below;
and  other  items of record disclosed to Buyer during the  Review
Period.

      Buyer shall be allowed five (5) days after receipt of  said
commitment  for examination and the making of any  objections  to
marketability thereto, said objections to be made in  writing  or
deemed  waived.  If any objections are so made, the Seller  shall
be  allowed eighty (80) days to make such title marketable or  in
the  alternative  to  obtain  a commitment  for  insurable  title
insuring over Buyer's objections.  If Seller shall decide to make
no  efforts to make title marketable, or is unable to make  title
marketable or obtain insurable title, (after execution  by  Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination  hereof) Buyer's First Payment shall be returned  and
this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and
effect.

     Pending correction of title, the payments hereunder required
shall  be postponed, but upon correction of title and within  ten
(10)  days  after written notice of correction to the Buyer,  the
parties shall perform this Agreement according to its terms.

     Purchase Agreement for Applebee's - Middletown, OH



     9.  Closing Costs.  Seller will pay one-half of escrow fees,
the  cost  of  the title commitment and any brokerage commissions
payable.   The  Buyer  will pay the cost of  issuing  a  Standard
Owners  Title Insurance Policy in the full amount of the purchase
price,  if  Buyer shall decide to purchase the same.  Buyer  will
pay all recording fees, one-half of the escrow fees, and the cost
of an update to the Survey in Sellers possession (if an update is
required by Buyer.)  Each party will pay its own attorney's  fees
and costs to document and close this transaction.

     10.  Real Estate Taxes, Special Assessments and Prorations.

     (a)  Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a
     part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth
     in  paragraph 11(a)(i), the parties acknowledge  that  there
     shall  be no need for a real estate tax proration.  However,
     Seller  represents  that to the best of its  knowledge,  all
     real  estate  taxes and installments of special  assessments
     due  and  payable in all years prior to the year of  Closing
     have been paid in full.  Unpaid real estate taxes and unpaid
     levied and pending special assessments existing on the  date
     of  Closing shall be the responsibility of Buyer and  Seller
     in   proportion  to  their  respective  Tenant   in   Common
     interests,  pro-rated, however, to the date of  closing  for
     the   period   prior  to  closing,  which   shall   be   the
     responsibility of Seller if Tenant shall not pay  the  same.
     Seller  and  Buyer  shall likewise pay  all  taxes  due  and
     payable   in   the  year  after  Closing  and   any   unpaid
     installments  of special assessments payable  therewith  and
     thereafter,  if  such  unpaid  levied  and  pending  special
     assessments and real estate taxes are not paid by any tenant
     of the Entire Property.
     
     (b)   All income and all operating expenses from the  Entire
     Property  shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted
     by them as of the date of Closing.  Seller shall be entitled
     to  all  income  earned  and shall be  responsible  for  all

11.  Seller's Representation and Agreements.

     (a)  Seller represents and warrants as of this date that:

(i)   Except  for the lease in existence between  AEI  Net  Lease
Income  & Growth Fund XX Limited Partnership and Thomas  &  King,
Inc.  dated July 15, 1994, Seller is not aware of any  leases  of
the Property.  The above referenced lease agreement has an option
to  purchase in favor of the Tenant as set forth in Article 34 of
said lease agreement.

     (ii)   It  is  not  aware  of  any  pending  litigation   or
     condemnation  proceedings against the Property  or  Seller's
     interest in the Property.
     
     (iii)   Except as previously disclosed to Buyer and  as  set
     forth  in  paragraph (b) below, Seller is not aware  of  any
     contracts Seller has executed that would be binding on Buyer
     after the closing date.
     
     (b)   Provided  that  Buyer performs  its  obligations  when
     required, Seller agrees that it will not enter into any  new
     contracts that would materially affect the Property  and  be
     binding  on  Buyer  after the Closing Date  without  Buyer's
     prior  consent,  which  will not be  unreasonably  withheld.
     However,  Buyer acknowledges that Seller retains  the  right
     both  prior to and after the Closing Date to freely transfer
     all or a portion of Seller's remaining undivided interest in
     the  Entire Property, provided such sale shall not  encumber
     the  Property being purchased by Buyer in violation  of  the
     terms hereof or the contemplated Co-Tenancy Agreement.

     used and operated prior to the date of this Agreement.
     
     (d)  To the best of Seller's knowledge: the Property is not,

     in  its  then present condition, as is, where is, and Seller
     has  no  obligations to construct or repair any improvements

     on  its  own  investigation of the Property and not  on  any
     information provided by Seller  or to be provided except  as

     information.   The  sale  of the Property  as  provided  for
     herein  is  made  on an "AS IS" basis, and  Buyer  expressly
     acknowledges  that, in consideration of  the  agreements  of
     Seller  herein, except as otherwise specified herein, Seller

16.  Damages, Destruction and Eminent Domain.

     (a)   If, prior to closing, the Property or any part thereof

     repair exceeds $10,000.00, this Agreement shall become  null
     and void, at Buyer's option exercised, if at all, by written
     notice  to  Seller  within ten (10)  days  after  Buyer  has
     received  written notice from Seller of said destruction  or
     damage.  Seller, however, shall have the right to adjust  or
     settle  any  insured  loss until (i) all  contingencies  set
     forth  in Paragraph 6 hereof have been satisfied, or waived;
     and  (ii)  any  ten-day period provided for  above  in  this
     Subparagraph  16a  for  Buyer to  elect  to  terminate  this
     Agreement  has  expired or Buyer has, by written  notice  to
     Seller,  waived  Buyer's right to terminate this  Agreement.
     If  Buyer  elects to proceed and to consummate the  purchase
     despite  said  damage  or destruction,  there  shall  be  no
     reduction in or abatement of the purchase price, and  Seller
     shall  assign  to  Buyer  the  Seller's  right,  title,  and
     interest  in  and  to  all insurance proceeds  (pro-rata  in

     or  destruction to the extent that the same are payable with
     respect to damage to the Property, subject to rights of  any
     Tenant of the Entire Property.
     
     If  the cost of repair is less than $10,000.00, Buyer  shall
     be  obligated  to  otherwise  perform  hereinunder  with  no
     adjustment  to  the Purchase Price, reduction or  abatement,
     and  Seller shall assign Seller's right, title and  interest

     thereof,  is  taken by eminent domain, this Agreement  shall
     become null and void, at Buyer's option.  If Buyer elects to

     there  shall  be  no  reduction in,  or  abatement  of,  the
     purchase  price,  and  Seller  shall  assign  to  Buyer  the
     Seller's  right,  title, and interest in and  to  any  award
     made, or to be made, in the condemnation proceeding pro-rata
     in relation to the Entire Property, subject to rights of any
     Tenant of the Entire Property.
     
      In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer  as

shall  be immediately returned to Buyer (after execution by Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination hereof).

17.  Buyer's 1031 Tax Free Exchange.

      While  Seller  acknowledges that Buyer  is  purchasing  the
Property  as  "replacement property" to  accomplish  a  tax  free
exchange,   Buyer   acknowledges  that   Seller   has   made   no
representations,  warranties, or agreements to Buyer  or  Buyer's
agents  that  the transaction contemplated by the Agreement  will
qualify  for such tax treatment, nor has there been any  reliance
thereon by Buyer respecting the legal or tax implications of  the
transactions contemplated hereby.  Buyer further represents  that
it has sought and obtained such third party advice and counsel as
it  deems  necessary in regards to the tax implications  of  this
transaction.

interest of this Purchase Agreement to Exodus Exchange, Inc.  who
will  act  as  Accommodator  to  perfect  the  1031  exchange  by

and  selling the ownership interest in subject property to  Buyer
under  the  same  terms  and conditions  as  documented  in  this
Purchase Agreement.  Buyer asks the Seller, and Seller agrees  to
cooperate  in  the  perfection of  such  an  exchange  if  at  no
additional  cost or expense to Seller or delay  in  time.   Buyer
hereby  indemnifies  and holds Seller harmless  from  any  claims
and/or  actions  resulting from said exchange.  Pursuant  to  the
direction of Exodus Exchange, Inc., Seller will deed the property

requested by Seller to evidence the termination hereof) shall  be
returned  its  First Payment, and Buyer will have  absolutely  no
rights,  claims  or interest of any type in connection  with  the
Property  or this transaction, regardless of any alleged  conduct
by Seller or anyone else.

      Unless this Agreement is canceled by Buyer pursuant to  the
terms  hereof, if Buyer fails to make the Second Payment,  Seller
shall   be  entitled  to  retain  the  First  Payment  and  Buyer
irrevocably  will be deemed to have canceled this  Agreement  and
relinquish  all rights in and to the Property unless Buyer  makes
the  Second  Payment  when required. If  this  Agreement  is  not
canceled  and  the Second Payment is made when required,  all  of
Buyer's conditions and contingencies will be deemed satisfied.

7.  Escrow. Escrow shall be opened by Seller and funds  deposited
in  escrow upon acceptance of this Agreement by both parties. The
escrow  holder  will  be a nationally-recognized  escrow  company
selected by Seller. A copy of this Agreement will be delivered to
the  escrow holder and will serve as escrow instructions together
with the escrow holder's standard instructions and any additional
instructions required by the escrow holder to clarify its  rights
and  duties  (and  the  parties agree to  sign  these  additional
instructions).  If  there  is any conflict  between  these  other
instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

8. Title. Closing will be conditioned on the agreement of a title
company  selected by Seller to issue an Owner's policy  of  title
insurance, dated as of the close of escrow, in an amount equal to
the  purchase price, insuring that Buyer will own insurable title
to  the  Property  subject only to: the title company's  standard
exceptions;  current real property taxes and assessments;  survey
exceptions; the rights of parties in possession pursuant  to  the
lease  defined in paragraph 11 below; and other items  of  record
disclosed to Buyer during the contingency period.

      Buyer shall be allowed five (5) days after receipt of  said
commitment  for examination and the making of any  objections  to
marketability thereto, said objections to be made in  writing  or
deemed  waived.  If any objections are so made, the Seller  shall
be  allowed eighty (80) days to make such title marketable or  in
the  alternative  to  obtain  a commitment  for  insurable  title
insuring over Buyer's objections.  If Seller shall decide to make
no  efforts to make title marketable, or is unable to make  title
marketable or obtain insurable title, (after execution  by  Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination  hereof) Buyer's First Payment shall be returned  and
this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and
effect.

     Pending correction of title, the payments hereunder required
shall  be postponed, but upon correction of title and within  ten
(10)  days  after written notice of correction to the Buyer,  the
parties shall perform this Agreement according to its terms.

9.  Closing Costs.  Seller will pay one-half of escrow fees,  the
cost  of  the  title  commitment and  any  brokerage  commissions
payable  except  those brokerage commissions incurred  by  Buyer.
The  Buyer will pay the cost of issuing a Standard  Owners  Title
Insurance  Policy  in the full amount of the purchase  price,  if
Buyer  shall  decide to purchase the same.  Buyer  will  pay  all
recording fees, one-half of the escrow fees, and the cost  of  an
update  to  the  Survey in Sellers possession (if  an  update  is
required by Buyer.)  Each party will pay its own attorney's  fees
and costs to document and close this transaction.

10. Real Estate Taxes, Special Assessments and Prorations.

     (a)  Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a
     part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth
     in  paragraph 11(a)(i), the parties acknowledge  that  there
     shall  be no need for a real estate tax proration.  However,
     Seller  represents  that to the best of its  knowledge,  all
     real  estate  taxes and installments of special  assessments
     due  and  payable in all years prior to the year of  Closing
     have  been paid in full.  Unpaid levied and pending  special
     assessments  existing on the date of Closing  shall  be  the
     responsibility  of Buyer and Seller in proportion  to  their
     respective  Tenant in Common interests.   Seller  and  Buyer
     shall  likewise pay all taxes due and payable  in  the  year
     after   Closing  and  any  unpaid  installments  of  special
     assessments payable therewith and thereafter, if such unpaid
     levied and pending special assessments and real estate taxes
     are not paid by any tenant of the Entire Property.
     
     (b)   All income and all operating expenses from the  Entire
     Property  shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted
     by them as of the date of Closing.  Seller shall be entitled
     to  all  income  earned  and shall be  responsible  for  all
     expenses  incurred prior to the date of Closing,  and  Buyer
     shall  be entitled to its proportionate share of all  income
     earned and shall be responsible for its proportionate  share
     of  all  operating expenses of the Property incurred on  and
     after the date of Closing.
     
11. Seller's Representation and Agreements.

     (a)  Seller represents and warrants as of this date that:

     (i)  Except for the lease in existence between AEI Net Lease
     Income & Growth Fund XX Limited Partnership and RTM Georgia,
     Inc.("Tenant"), dated May 16, 1994, Seller is not  aware  of
     any  leases  of  the Property.  The above  referenced  lease
     agreement  has an option to purchase in favor of the  Tenant
     as  set  forth  in article 34 of said lease agreement.   The
     above  referenced lease agreement also has a first right  of
     refusal in favor of the Tenant as set forth in Article 35 of
     said  lease  agreement,  which  right  shall  apply  to  any
     disposition of the Property by Buyer after this transaction.

     (ii)   It  is  not  aware  of  any  pending  litigation   or
     condemnation  proceedings against the Property  or  Seller's
     interest in the Property.
     
     (iii)   Except as previously disclosed to Buyer and  as  set
     forth  in  paragraph (b) below, Seller is not aware  of  any
     contracts Seller has executed that would be binding on Buyer
     after the closing date.
          
     (b)   Provided  that  Buyer performs  its  obligations  when
     required, Seller agrees that it will not enter into any  new
     contracts  prior  to the Closing Date that would  materially
     affect  the  Property  and be binding  on  Buyer  after  the
     Closing  Date without Buyer's prior consent, which will  not
     be  unreasonably withheld.  However, Buyer acknowledges that
     Seller retains the right both prior to and after the Closing
     Date  to  freely  transfer  all or  a  portion  of  Seller's
     remaining   undivided  interest  in  the  Entire   Property,
     provided such sale shall not encumber the Property

     being purchased by Buyer in violation of the terms hereof or
     the contemplated Co-Tenancy Agreement.

12. Disclosures.

     (a)   To the best of Seller's knowledge: there are now,  and
     at  the  Closing  there  will be, no material,  physical  or
     mechanical  defects  of  the  Property,  including,  without
     limitation,   the   plumbing,  heating,  air   conditioning,
     ventilating, electrical systems, and all such items  are  in
     good  operating condition and repair and in compliance  with
     all  applicable  governmental , zoning and  land  use  laws,
     ordinances, regulations and requirements.
     
     (b)   To  the  best  of  Seller's  knowledge:  the  use  and
     operation of the Property now is, and at the time of Closing
     will  be, in full compliance with applicable building codes,
     safety,   fire,  zoning,  and  land  use  laws,  and   other
     applicable   local,  state  and  federal  laws,  ordinances,
     regulations and requirements.
     
     (c)   Seller  knows  of no facts nor has  Seller  failed  to
     disclose  to  Buyer  any fact known to  Seller  which  would
     prevent  the  use  and operation of the Property  after  the
     Closing  in the manner in which the Property has  been  used
     and operated prior to the date of this Agreement.
     
     (d)  To the best of Seller's knowledge: the Property is not,
     and  as  of  the  Closing will not be, in violation  of  any
     federal,  state  or  local  law,  ordinance  or  regulations
     relating  to  industrial  hygiene or  to  the  environmental
     conditions  on, under, or about the Property including,  but
     not  limited  to, soil and groundwater conditions.   To  the
     best  of  Seller's  knowledge: there  is  no  proceeding  or
     inquiry  by any governmental authority with respect  to  the
     presence  of  Hazardous Materials on  the  Property  or  the
     migration  of Hazardous Materials from or to other property.
     Buyer agrees that Seller will have no liability of any  type
     to  Buyer  or Buyer's successors, assigns, or affiliates  in
     connection  with any Hazardous Materials on or in connection
     with  the Property either before or after the Closing  Date,
     except such Hazardous Materials on or in connection with the
     Property  arising out of Seller's negligence or  intentional
     misconduct  in violation of applicable state or federal  law
     or regulation.
     
     (e)   Buyer agrees that it shall be purchasing the  Property
     in  its  then present condition, as is, where is, and Seller
     has  no  obligations to construct or repair any improvements
     thereon  or to perform any other act regarding the Property,
     except as expressly provided herein.
     
     (f)    Buyer  acknowledges  that,  having  been  given   the
     opportunity  to  inspect  the Property  and  such  financial
     information  on the Tenant and Guarantors of  the  Lease  as
     Buyer or its advisors shall request, Buyer is relying solely
     on  its  own  investigation of the Property and not  on  any
     information provided by Seller  or to be provided except  as
     set  forth  herein.   Buyer further  acknowledges  that  the
     information  provided  and to be  provided  by  Seller  with
     respect to the Property and to the Tenant and Guarantors  of
     Lease  was  obtained  from a variety of sources  and  Seller
     neither   (a)   has   made  independent   investigation   or
     verification   of  such  information,  or  (b)   makes   any
     representations as to the accuracy or completeness  of  such
     information.   The  sale  of the Property  as  provided  for
     herein  is  made  on an "AS IS" basis, and  Buyer  expressly
     acknowledges  that, in consideration of  the  agreements  of
     Seller  herein, except as otherwise specified herein, Seller
     makes no warranty or representation, express or implied,  or
     arising by operation of law, including, but not limited  to,
     any  warranty  or  condition,  habitability,  tenantability,
     suitability  for  commercial purposes,  merchantability,  or
     fitness  for  a  particular  purpose,  in  respect  of   the
     Property.
     
     The provisions (d) - (f) above shall survive closing.

13. Closing.

     (a)   Before  the  closing date, Seller  will  deposit  into
     escrow an executed limited warranty deed conveying insurable
     title  of the Property to Buyer, subject to the encumbrances
     contained in paragraph 8 above.
     
     (b)   On or before the closing date, Buyer will deposit into
     escrow:  the  balance  of the purchase price  when  required
     under  Section  4; any additional funds required  of  Buyer,
     (pursuant to this agreement or any other agreement  executed
     by  Buyer) to close escrow.  Both parties will sign the  Co-
     Tenancy  Agreement,  and deliver to the  escrow  holder  any
     other documents reasonably required by the escrow holder  to
     close escrow.
     
     (c)   On  the  closing date, if escrow is in a  position  to
     close,  the  escrow  holder will: record  the  deed  in  the
     official  records  of  the  county  where  the  Property  is
     located;  cause  the title company to commit  to  issue  the
     title  policy; immediately deliver to Seller the portion  of
     the  purchase price deposited into escrow by cashier's check
     or  wire  transfer  (less debits and  prorations,  if  any);
     deliver  to  Seller  and Buyer a signed counterpart  of  the
     escrow  holder's certified closing statement  and  take  all
     other actions necessary to close escrow.

14.  Defaults.  If Buyer defaults, Buyer will forfeit all  rights
and  claims  and  Seller will be relieved of all obligations  and
will  be  entitled to retain all monies heretofore  paid  by  the
Buyer.   Seller shall retain all remedies available to Seller  at
law or in equity.

     If Seller shall default, Buyer irrevocably waives any rights
to file a lis pendens, a specific performance action or any other
claim,  action or proceeding of any type in connection  with  the
Property or this or any other transaction involving the Property,
and  will  not  do  anything to affect title to the  Property  or
hinder,  delay  or  prevent  any  other  sale,  lease  or   other
transaction involving the Property (any and all of which will  be
null  and void), unless: it has paid the First Payment, deposited
the  balance  of the Second Payment for the purchase  price  into
escrow, performed all of its other obligations and satisfied  all
conditions  under  this  Agreement, and unconditionally  notified
Seller  that it stands ready to tender full performance, purchase
the  Property and close escrow as per this Agreement,  regardless
of  any  alleged  default  or misconduct  by  Seller.   Provided,
however, that in no event shall Seller be liable for any  actual,
punitive, consequential or speculative damages arising out of any
default by Seller hereunder.
     
15. Buyer's Representations and Warranties.
     
     a.  Buyer represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

     (i)   In  addition to the acts and deeds recited herein  and
     contemplated  to  be performed, executed, and  delivered  by
     Buyer, Buyer shall perform, execute and deliver or cause  to
     be  performed,  executed, and delivered at  the  Closing  or
     after  the  Closing,  any and all further  acts,  deeds  and
     assurances as Seller or the Title Company may require and be
     reasonable   in   order  to  consummate   the   transactions
     contemplated herein.
     
     (ii)   Buyer  has  all  requisite  power  and  authority  to
     consummate  the  transaction contemplated by this  Agreement
     and  has by proper proceedings duly authorized the execution
     and  delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of  the
     transaction contemplated hereby.
     
     (iii)   To  Buyer's  knowledge, neither  the  execution  and
     delivery  of  this  Agreement nor the  consummation  of  the
     transaction  contemplated  hereby  will  violate  or  be  in
     conflict with (a) any applicable provisions of law, (b)  any
     order of any court or other agency of government having

     jurisdiction  hereof, or (c) any agreement or instrument  to
     which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer is bound.
     
16. Damages, Destruction and Eminent Domain.

     (a)   If, prior to closing, the Property or any part thereof
     be  destroyed  or further damaged by fire, the elements,  or
     any cause, due to events occurring subsequent to the date of
     this Agreement to the extent that the cost of repair exceeds
     $10,000.00,  this Agreement shall become null and  void,  at
     Buyer's  option exercised, if at all, by written  notice  to
     Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer has received written
     notice  from Seller of said destruction or damage.   Seller,
     however,  shall  have  the right to  adjust  or  settle  any
     insured  loss  until  (i)  all contingencies  set  forth  in
     Paragraph 6 hereof have been satisfied, or waived; and  (ii)
     any  ten-day  Period provided for above in this Subparagraph
     16a  for  Buyer  to  elect to terminate this  Agreement  has
     expired  or  Buyer has, by written notice to Seller,  waived
     Buyer's right to terminate this Agreement.  If Buyer  elects
     to  proceed  and  to  consummate the purchase  despite  said
     damage  or  destruction, there shall be no reduction  in  or
     abatement of the purchase price, and Seller shall assign  to
     Buyer the Seller's right, title, and interest in and to  all
     insurance  proceeds  (pro-rata in  relation  to  the  Entire
     Property) resulting from said damage or destruction  to  the
     extent  that the same are payable with respect to damage  to
     the  Property, subject to rights of any Tenant of the Entire
     Property.
     
     If  the cost of repair is less than $10,000.00, Buyer  shall
     be  obligated  to  otherwise  perform  hereinunder  with  no
     adjustment  to  the Purchase Price, reduction or  abatement,
     and  Seller shall assign Seller's right, title and  interest
     in and to all insurance proceeds pro-rata in relation to the
     Entire  Property,  subject to rights of any  Tenant  of  the
     Entire Property.
     
     (b)   If,  prior  to  closing, the  Property,  or  any  part
     thereof,  is  taken by eminent domain, this Agreement  shall
     become null and void, at Buyer's option.  If Buyer elects to
     proceed  and to consummate the purchase despite said taking,
     there  shall  be  no  reduction in,  or  abatement  of,  the
     purchase  price,  and  Seller  shall  assign  to  Buyer  the
     Seller's  right,  title, and interest in and  to  any  award
     made, or to be made, in the condemnation proceeding pro-rata
     in relation to the Entire Property, subject to rights of any
     Tenant of the Entire Property.
     
      In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer  as
provided  above  in  Subparagraph 16a or 16b, the  First  Payment
shall  be immediately returned to Buyer (after execution by Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination hereof).

17. Buyer's 1031 Tax Free Exchange.

      While  Seller  acknowledges that Buyer  is  purchasing  the
Property  as  "replacement property" to  accomplish  a  tax  free
exchange,   Buyer   acknowledges  that   Seller   has   made   no
representations,  warranties, or agreements to Buyer  or  Buyer's
agents  that  the transaction contemplated by the Agreement  will
qualify  for such tax treatment, nor has there been any  reliance
thereon by Buyer respecting the legal or tax implications of  the
transactions contemplated hereby.  Buyer further represents  that
it has sought and obtained such third party advice and counsel as
it  deems  necessary in regards to the tax implications  of  this
transaction.

      Buyer  wishes  to  novate/assign the ownership  rights  and
interest   of   this  Purchase  Agreement  to   Realty   Exchange
Corporation  who  will act as Facilitator  to  perfect  the  1031
exchange  by preparing an agreement of exchange of Real  Property
whereby Realty Exchange Corporation will be an independent  third
party purchasing the ownership interest in subject property  from
Seller and selling the ownership interest in subject property  to
Buyer  under the same terms and conditions as documented in  this
Purchase  Agreement.  Buyer asks the Seller to cooperate  in  the
perfection  of such an exchange at no additional cost or  expense
or delay in time.  Buyer hereby indemnifies and holds Seller



     Buyer Initial: /s/ RJA
     Purchase Agreement for Arby's/Mrs. Winners - Smyrna, GA






harmless  from  any  claims and/or actions  resulting  from  said
exchange.    Pursuant  to  the  direction  of   Realty   Exchange
Corporation, Seller will deed the Property to Buyer.

18. Cancellation

     If  any party elects to cancel this Contract because of  any
     breach by another party, the party electing to cancel  shall
     deliver  to escrow agent a notice containing the address  of
     the party in breach and stating that this Contract shall  be
     canceled unless the breach is cured within 13 days following
     the  delivery  of  the notice to the escrow  agent.   Within
     three  days  after receipt of such notice, the escrow  agent
     shall  send it by United States Mail to the party in  breach
     at the address contained in the Notice and no further notice
     shall be required. If the breach is not cured within the  13
     days  following  the delivery of the notice  to  the  escrow
     agent, this Contract shall be canceled.

19. Miscellaneous.

     (a)  This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement
     signed by both Seller and Buyer, and all waivers must be  in
     writing  and signed by the waiving party.  Time  is  of  the
     essence.   This  Agreement  will not  be  construed  for  or
     against  a party whether or not that party has drafted  this
     Agreement.  If there is any action or proceeding between the

     be  entitled to recover attorney's fees and costs.  This  is

     this Agreement.
     
     (b)   If  this escrow has not closed by September  30,  1997
     through  no  fault  of Seller, Seller  may  either,  at  its
     election,  extend  the closing date or exercise  any  remedy
     available   to   it  by  law,  including  terminating   this
     Agreement.
     
     (c)  Funds to be deposited or paid by Buyer must be good and
     clear  funds in the form of cash, cashier's checks  or  wire
     transfers.
     
     (d)   All notices from either of the parties hereto  to  the

     Buyer Initial: /s/ RJA
     Purchase Agreement for Applebee's - Middletown, OH
     
     
     
     may have been provided most recently to Seller by the Tenant
     and/or Guarantors.
     
     
     It is a contingency upon Seller's obligations hereunder that
two  (2)  copies  of  Co-Tenancy Agreement in the  form  attached
hereto  duly  executed by Buyer and Seller and  dated  on  escrow
closing date be delivered to the Seller on the closing date.

      Buyer may cancel this agreement for ANY REASON in its  sole
discretion  by  delivering a cancellation notice, return  receipt
requested,  to Seller and escrow holder before the expiration  of
the  Review  Period. Such notice shall be deemed  effective  only
upon  receipt  by Seller.  If this Agreement is not cancelled  as
set forth above, the First Payment shall be non-refundable unless
Seller shall default hereunder.

      If  Buyer  cancels this Agreement as permitted  under  this
Section,  except  for  any  escrow  cancellation  fees  and   any
liabilities  under sections 15(a) of this agreement  (which  will
survive),  Buyer  (after execution of such  documents  reasonably
requested by Seller to evidence the termination hereof) shall  be
returned  its  First Payment, and Buyer will have  absolutely  no
rights,  claims  or interest of any type in connection  with  the
Property  or this transaction, regardless of any alleged  conduct
by Seller or anyone else.

      Unless this Agreement is canceled by Buyer pursuant to  the
terms  hereof, if Buyer fails to make the Second Payment,  Seller
shall   be  entitled  to  retain  the  First  Payment  and  Buyer
irrevocably  will be deemed to have canceled this  Agreement  and
relinquish  all rights in and to the Property unless Buyer  makes
the  Second  Payment  when required.  If this  Agreement  is  not
canceled  and  the Second Payment is made when required,  all  of
Buyer's conditions and contingencies will be deemed satisfied.

7.  Escrow. Escrow shall be opened by Seller and funds  deposited
in  escrow upon acceptance of this agreement by both parties. The
escrow  holder  will  be a nationally-recognized  escrow  company
selected by Seller. A copy of this Agreement will be delivered to
the  escrow holder and will serve as escrow instructions together
with the escrow holder's standard instructions and any additional
instructions required by the escrow holder to clarify its  rights
and  duties  (and  the  parties agree to  sign  these  additional
instructions).  If  there  is any conflict  between  these  other
instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

8.   Title.  Closing will be conditioned on the  agreement  of  a
title  company selected by Seller to issue an Owner's  policy  of
title  insurance, dated as of the close of escrow, in  an  amount
equal  to  the  purchase  price, insuring  that  Buyer  will  own
insurable  title  to  the Property subject  only  to:  the  title
company's  standard exceptions;  current real property taxes  and
assessments;  survey  exceptions;  the  rights  of   parties   in
possession pursuant to the lease definded in paragraph 11  below;
and  other  items of record disclosed to Buyer during the  Review
Period.

      Buyer shall be allowed five (5) days after receipt of  said
commitment  for examination and the making of any  objections  to
marketability thereto, said objections to be made in  writing  or
deemed  waived.  If any objections are so made, the Seller  shall
be  allowed eighty (80) days to make such title marketable or  in
the  alternative  to  obtain  a commitment  for  insurable  title
insuring over Buyer's objections.  If Seller shall decide to make
no  efforts to make title marketable, or is unable to make  title
marketable or obtain insurable title, (after execution  by  Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination  hereof) Buyer's First Payment shall be returned  and
this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and
effect.


     Buyer Initial: /s/ RJA
     Purchase Agreement for Applebee's - Middletown, OH






     Pending correction of title, the payments hereunder required
shall  be postponed, but upon correction of title and within  ten
(10)  days  after written notice of correction to the Buyer,  the
parties shall perform this Agreement according to its terms.

     9.  Closing Costs.  Seller will pay one-half of escrow fees,
the  cost  of  the title commitment and any brokerage commissions
payable.   The  Buyer  will pay the cost of  issuing  a  Standard
Owners  Title Insurance Policy in the full amount of the purchase
price,  if  Buyer shall decide to purchase the same.  Buyer  will
pay all recording fees, one-half of the escrow fees, and the cost
of an update to the Survey in Sellers possession (if an update is
required by Buyer.)  Each party will pay its own attorney's  fees
and costs to document and close this transaction.

     10.  Real Estate Taxes, Special Assessments and Prorations.

     (a)  Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a
     part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth
     in  paragraph 11(a)(i), the parties acknowledge  that  there
     shall  be no need for a real estate tax proration.  However,
     Seller  represents  that to the best of its  knowledge,  all
     real  estate  taxes and installments of special  assessments
     due  and  payable in all years prior to the year of  Closing
     have been paid in full.  Unpaid real estate taxes and unpaid
     levied and pending special assessments existing on the  date
     of  Closing shall be the responsibility of Buyer and  Seller
     in   proportion  to  their  respective  Tenant   in   Common
     interests,  pro-rated, however, to the date of  closing  for
     the   period   prior  to  closing,  which   shall   be   the
     responsibility of Seller if Tenant shall not pay  the  same.
     Seller  and  Buyer  shall likewise pay  all  taxes  due  and
     payable   in   the  year  after  Closing  and   any   unpaid
     installments  of special assessments payable  therewith  and
     thereafter,  if  such  unpaid  levied  and  pending  special
     assessments and real estate taxes are not paid by any tenant
     of the Entire Property.
     
     (b)   All income and all operating expenses from the  Entire
     Property  shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted
     by them as of the date of Closing.  Seller shall be entitled
     to  all  income  earned  and shall be  responsible  for  all
     expenses  incurred prior to the date of Closing,  and  Buyer
     shall  be entitled to its proportionate share of all  income
     earned and shall be responsible for its proportionate  share
     of all operating expenses of the Entire Property incurred on
     and after the date of closing.
     
11.  Seller's Representation and Agreements.

     (a)  Seller represents and warrants as of this date that:

(i)   Except  for the lease in existence between  AEI  Net  Lease
Income  & Growth Fund XX Limited Partnership and Thomas  &  King,
Inc.  dated July 15, 1994, Seller is not aware of any  leases  of
the Property.  The above referenced lease agreement has an option
to  purchase in favor of the Tenant as set forth in Article 34 of
said lease agreement.

     forth  in  paragraph (b) below, Seller is not aware  of  any
     contracts Seller has executed that would be binding on Buyer
     after the closing date.
     
     (b)   Provided  that  Buyer performs  its  obligations  when
     required, Seller agrees that it will not enter into any  new
     contracts that would materially affect the Property  and  be
     binding  on  Buyer  after the Closing Date  without  Buyer's
     prior  consent,  which  will not be  unreasonably  withheld.
     However,  Buyer acknowledges that Seller retains  the  right
     both  prior to and after the Closing Date to freely transfer
     all or a

     (c)   Seller  knows  of no facts nor has  Seller  failed  to

     used and operated prior to the date of this Agreement.
     
     (d)  To the best of Seller's knowledge: the Property is not,

     opportunity  to  inspect  the Property  and  such  financial
     information  on the Lessee and Guarantors of  the  Lease  as
     Buyer or its advisors shall request, Buyer is relying solely
     on  its  own  investigation of the Property and not  on  any
     information provided by Seller  or to be provided except  as
     set  forth  herein.   Buyer further  acknowledges  that  the

     reasonable   in   order  to  consummate   the   transactions
     contemplated herein.
     
     (ii)   Buyer  has  all  requisite  power  and  authority  to
     consummate  the  transaction contemplated by this  Agreement
     and  has by proper proceedings duly authorized the execution
     and  delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of  the
     transaction contemplated hereby.
     
     (iii)   To  Buyer's  knowledge, neither  the  execution  and
     delivery  of  this  Agreement nor the  consummation  of  the
     transaction contemplated hereby
     
     
     
     Buyer Initial: /s/ RJA
     Purchase Agreement for Applebee's - Middletown, OH
     
     
     
     
     
     
     will  violate  or  be  in conflict with (a)  any  applicable
     provisions  of  law,  (b) any order of any  court  or  other
     agency of government having jurisdiction hereof, or (c)  any
     agreement  or  instrument to which Buyer is a  party  or  by
     which Buyer is bound.
     
16.  Damages, Destruction and Eminent Domain.

     (a)   If, prior to closing, the Property or any part thereof
     should  be  destroyed  or  further  damaged  by  fire,   the
     elements,  or any cause, due to events occurring  subsequent
     to the date of this Agreement to the extent that the cost of
     repair exceeds $10,000.00, this Agreement shall become  null
     and void, at Buyer's option exercised, if at all, by written
     notice  to  Seller  within ten (10)  days  after  Buyer  has
     received  written notice from Seller of said destruction  or
     damage.  Seller, however, shall have the right to adjust  or
     settle  any  insured  loss until (i) all  contingencies  set
     forth  in Paragraph 6 hereof have been satisfied, or waived;
     and  (ii)  any  ten-day period provided for  above  in  this
     Subparagraph  16a  for  Buyer to  elect  to  terminate  this
     Agreement  has  expired or Buyer has, by written  notice  to
     Seller,  waived  Buyer's right to terminate this  Agreement.
     If  Buyer  elects to proceed and to consummate the  purchase
     despite  said  damage  or destruction,  there  shall  be  no
     reduction in or abatement of the purchase price, and  Seller
     shall  assign  to  Buyer  the  Seller's  right,  title,  and
     interest  in  and  to  all insurance proceeds  (pro-rata  in
     relation to the Entire Property) resulting from said  damage
     or  destruction to the extent that the same are payable with
     respect to damage to the Property, subject to rights of  any
     Tenant of the Entire Property.
     
     If  the cost of repair is less than $10,000.00, Buyer  shall
     be  obligated  to  otherwise  perform  hereinunder  with  no
     adjustment  to  the Purchase Price, reduction or  abatement,
     and  Seller shall assign Seller's right, title and  interest
     in and to all insurance proceeds pro-rata in relation to the
     Entire  Property,  subject to rights of any  Tenant  of  the
     Entire Property.
     
     (b)   If,  prior  to  closing, the  Property,  or  any  part
     thereof,  is  taken by eminent domain, this Agreement  shall
     become null and void, at Buyer's option.  If Buyer elects to
     proceed  and to consummate the purchase despite said taking,
     there  shall  be  no  reduction in,  or  abatement  of,  the
     purchase  price,  and  Seller  shall  assign  to  Buyer  the
     Seller's  right,  title, and interest in and  to  any  award
     made, or to be made, in the condemnation proceeding pro-rata
     in relation to the Entire Property, subject to rights of any
     Tenant of the Entire Property.
     
      In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer  as
provided  above  in  Subparagraph 16a or 16b, the  First  Payment
shall  be immediately returned to Buyer (after execution by Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination hereof).

17.  Buyer's 1031 Tax Free Exchange.

      While  Seller  acknowledges that Buyer  is  purchasing  the
Property  as  "replacement property" to  accomplish  a  tax  free
exchange,   Buyer   acknowledges  that   Seller   has   made   no
representations,  warranties, or agreements to Buyer  or  Buyer's
agents  that  the transaction contemplated by the Agreement  will
qualify  for such tax treatment, nor has there been any  reliance
thereon by Buyer respecting the legal or tax implications of  the
transactions contemplated hereby.  Buyer further represents  that
it has sought and obtained such third party advice and counsel as
it  deems  necessary in regards to the tax implications  of  this
transaction.

      Buyer  wishes  to  novate/assign the ownership  rights  and
interest   of   this  Purchase  Agreement  to   Realty   Exchange
Corporation  who  will act as Accommodator to  perfect  the  1031
exchange  by preparing an agreement of exchange of Real  Property
whereby Realty Exchange Corporation will be an independent  third
party purchasing the ownership interest in subject property  from
Seller and selling the ownership interest in subject property  to
Buyer  under the same terms and conditions as documented in  this
Purchase Agreement.  Buyer asks the



     Buyer Initial: /s/ RJA
     Purchase Agreement for Applebee's - Middletown, OH





Seller, and Seller agrees to cooperate in the perfection of  such
an  exchange  if at no additional cost or expense  to  Seller  or
delay  in  time.   Buyer  hereby  indemnifies  and  holds  Seller
harmless  from  any  claims and/or actions  resulting  from  said
exchange.    Pursuant  to  the  direction  of   Realty   Exchange
Corporation, Seller will deed the property to Buyer.

18.  Cancellation

     If  any party elects to cancel this Contract because of  any
     breach by another party or because escrow fails to close  by
     the  agreed date, the party electing to cancel shall deliver
     to escrow agent a notice containing the address of the party
     in  breach and stating that this Contract shall be cancelled
     unless  the  breach  is cured within 13 days  following  the
     delivery  of  the notice to the escrow agent.  Within  three
     days  after  receipt of such notice, the escrow agent  shall
     send it by United States Mail to the party in breach at  the
     address contained in the Notice and no further notice  shall
     be  required. If the breach is not cured within the 13  days
     following  the  delivery of the notice to the escrow  agent,
     this Contract shall be cancelled.

19.  Miscellaneous.

     signed by both Seller and Buyer, and all waivers must be  in
     writing  and signed by the waiving party.  Time  is  of  the
     essence.   This  Agreement  will not  be  construed  for  or

     be  entitled to recover attorney's fees and costs.  This  is

     this Agreement.
     
     (b)   If  this escrow has not closed by September 30,  1997,
     through  no  fault  of Seller, Seller  may  either,  at  its
     election,  extend  the closing date or exercise  any  remedy
     available   to   it  by  law,  including  terminating   this
     Agreement.
     
     (c)  Funds to be deposited or paid by Buyer must be good and
     clear  funds in the form of cash, cashier's checks  or  wire
     transfers.
     
     (d)   All notices from either of the parties hereto  to  the
     other  shall be in writing and shall be considered  to  have
     been  duly  given or served if sent by first class certified

     nationally recognized courier service guaranteeing overnight
     delivery to the party at his or its address set forth below,

                       PROPERTY CO-TENANCY
                       OWNERSHIP AGREEMENT
          (Arby's/Mrs. Winners Restaurant - Smyrna, GA)
                                
                                
THIS CO-TENANCY AGREEMENT,

Made and entered into as of the 30th day of September , 1997,  by
and  between Richard J. Abbott and Marjory T. Abbott (hereinafter
called  "Abbott"),  and AEI Net Lease Income  &  Growth  Fund  XX
Limited Partnership (hereinafter called "Fund XX") (Abbott,  Fund
XX  (and  any other Owner in Fee where the context so  indicates)
being hereinafter sometimes collectively called "Co-Tenants"  and
referred to in the neuter gender).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Fund XX presently owns an undivided 12.1582% interest in
and  to, and Abbott presently owns an undivided 14.5269% interest
in and to, and The Russel C. and Dixie Mayer Trust presently owns
an  undivided  12.3188%  interest in and  to,  and  Anton  Kuster
presently owns an undivided 13.4236% interest in and to, and  the
Mark  A. Benson Living Trust presently owns an undivided 15.8515%
interest  in and to and the John J. Zeller Living Trust presently
owns  an  undivided 19.4022% interest in and to, and Margaret  E.
Brust  Irrevocable  Trust presently owns  an  undivided  12.3188%
interest  (also referred to herein as Co-Tenant) in and  to,  the
land,  situated in the City of Smyrna, County of Cobb, and  State
of Georgia, (legally described upon Exhibit A attached hereto and
hereby made a part hereof) and in and to the improvements located
thereon (hereinafter called "Premises");

WHEREAS,  The  parties  hereto wish to provide  for  the  orderly
operation and management of the Premises and Abbott's interest by
Fund XX; the continued leasing of space within the Premises;  for
the  distribution  of  income from and the  pro-rata  sharing  in
expenses of the Premises.

NOW  THEREFORE, in consideration of the purchase by Abbott of  an
undivided  interest  in and to the Premises,  for  at  least  One
Dollar  ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration by  the
parties  hereto  to  one another in hand paid,  the  receipt  and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and of  the  mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, it is hereby agreed by
and between the parties hereto, as follows:

1.    The  operation  and  management of the  Premises  shall  be
delegated  to  Fund  XX, or its designated agent,  successors  or
assigns.  Provided, however, if Fund XX shall  sell  all  of  its
interest in the Premises, the duties and obligations of  Fund  XX
respecting  management  of  the Premises  as  set  forth  herein,
including but not limited to paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 hereof, shall
be exercised by the holder or holders of a majority undivided co-
tenancy interest in the Premises. Except as hereinafter expressly
provided to the contrary, each of the parties hereto agrees to be
bound   by  the  decisions  of  Fund  XX  with  respect  to   all
administrative,  operational  and  management  matters   of   the
property  comprising the Premises, including but not  limited  to
the  management of the net lease agreement  for the Premises. The
parties  hereto  hereby  designate Fund  XX  as  their  sole  and
exclusive agent to deal with any property agent or tenant and  to
monitor, execute and enforce the terms of leases of space  within
the  Premises,  including  but not  limited  to  any  amendments,
consents  to  assignment, sublet, releases  or  modifications  to
leases  or  guarantees  of  lease  or  easements  affecting   the
Premises,  on behalf of Abbott. Only Fund XX may obligate  Abbott
with respect to any expense for the Premises.

As  further  set forth in paragraph 2 hereof, Fund XX  agrees  to
require  any Tenant of the Premises to name Abbott as an  insured
or  additional insured in all insurance policies provided for, or
contemplated by, any lease on the



Co-Tenant Initial: /s/ RJA
Co-Tenancy Agreement for Arby's/Mrs. Winners - Smyrna, GA





Premises.   Fund  XX  shall  use  its  best  efforts  to   obtain
endorsements  adding  Co-Tenants to  said  policies  from  Tenant
within  30 days of commencement of this agreement. In any  event,
Fund  XX  shall distribute any insurance proceeds it may receive,
to  the extent consistent with any lease on the Premises, to  the
Co-Tenants  in  proportion to their respective ownership  of  the
Premises.

2.    Income,  expenses and any net proceeds from a sale  of  the
Premises shall be allocated among the Co-Tenants in proportion to
their  respective  share(s) of ownership. Shares  of  net  income
shall be pro-rated for any partial calendar years included within
the  term of this Agreement. Fund XX may offset against,  pay  to
itself  and  deduct  from any payment due to  Abbott  under  this
Agreement, and may pay to itself the amount of Abbott's share  of
any  legitimate expenses of the Premises which are  not  paid  by
Abbott  to  Fund  XX or its assigns, within ten (10)  days  after
demand  by  Fund XX. In the event there is insufficient operating
income  from  which to deduct Abbott's unpaid share of  operating
expenses,  Fund  XX  may pursue any and all  legal  remedies  for
collection.

Operating  Expenses  shall include all normal operating  expense,
including  but not limited to: maintenance, utilities,  supplies,
labor, management, advertising and promotional expenses, salaries
and wages of rental and management personnel, leasing commissions
to  third  parties, a monthly accrual to pay insurance  premiums,
real  estate taxes, installments of special assessments  and  for
structural repairs and replacements, management fees, legal  fees
and accounting fees, but excluding all operating expenses paid by
Tenant under terms of any lease agreement of the Premises.

Abbott  has  no requirement to, but has nonetheless,  elected  to
retain,  and agrees to annually reimburse, Fund XX in the  amount
of  $744 for the expenses, direct and indirect, incurred by  Fund
XX   in  providing  quarterly  accounting  and  distributions  of
Abbott's  share  of  net income and for tracking,  reporting  and
assessing the calculation of Abbott's share of operating expenses
incurred  from  the Premises. This invoice amount shall  be  pro-
rated  for partial years and Abbott authorizes Fund XX to  deduct
such  amount  from Abbott's share of revenue from  the  Premises.
Abbott  may  terminate this agreement respecting  accounting  and
distributions in this paragraph at any time and seek  to  collect
its  share  of  rental stream directly from the  tenant;  however
enforcement of all provisions of the lease remains the sole right
of  Fund  XX pursuant to section 1 hereof.  Fund XX may terminate
its obligation under this paragraph upon 30 days notice to Abbott
prior  to  the end of each anniversary hereof, unless  agreed  in
writing to the contrary.

3.    Full, accurate and complete books of account shall be  kept
in  accordance  with generally accepted accounting principles  at
Fund  XX's principal office, and each Co-Tenant shall have access
to  such  books and may inspect and copy any part thereof  during
normal  business hours. Within ninety (90) days after the end  of
each  calendar year during the term hereof, Fund XX shall prepare
an  accurate  income statement for the ownership of the  Premises
for  said calendar year and shall furnish copies of the  same  to
all Co-Tenants. Quarterly, as its share, Abbott shall be entitled
to  receive 14.5269% of all items of income and expense generated
by the Premises. Upon receipt of said accounting, if the payments
received  by each Co-Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 3  do  not
equal,  in the aggregate, the amounts which each are entitled  to
receive  with respect to said calendar year pursuant to Paragraph
2 hereof, an appropriate adjustment shall be made so that each Co-
Tenant receives the amount to which it is entitled.

4.    If  Net Income from the Premises is less than $0.00  (i.e.,
the  Premises  operates  at a loss), or if capital  improvements,
repairs, and/or replacements, for which adequate reserves do  not
exist,  need  to  be made to the Premises, the  Co-Tenants,  upon
receipt of a written request therefor from Fund XX, shall, within
fifteen  (15) business days after receipt of notice, make payment
to  Fund  XX sufficient to pay said net operating losses  and  to
provide necessary



Co-Tenant Initial: /s/ RJA
Co-Tenancy Agreement for Arby's/Mrs. Winners - Smyrna, GA






operating  capital for the premises and to pay for  said  capital
improvements,  repairs and/or replacements, all in proportion  to
their undivided interests in and to the Premises.

5.    Co-Tenants  may, at any time, sell, finance,  or  otherwise
create  a lien upon their interest in the Premises but only  upon
their  interest  and not upon any part of the interest  held,  or
owned, by any other Co-Tenant.  All Co-Tenants reserve the  right
to escrow proceeds from a sale of their interests in the Premises
to obtain tax deferral by the purchase of replacement property.

6.   If any Co-Tenant  shall be in default with respect to any of
its  obligations hereunder, and if said default is not  corrected
within  thirty  (30)  days after receipt by said  defaulting  Co-
Tenant  of written notice of said default, or within a reasonable
period  if  said default does not consist solely of a failure  to
pay money, the remaining Co-Tenant(s) may resort to any available
remedy to cure said default at law, in equity, or by statute,  or
set forth herein.

7.    This  property management agreement shall continue in  full
force  and effect and shall bind and inure to the benefit of  the
Co-Tenant  and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns  until
May  31,  2024 or upon the sale of the entire fee simple interest
in  the  Premises in accordance with the terms hereof and  proper
disbursement  of  the  proceeds thereof,  whichever  shall  first
occur.   Unless  specifically identified as a  personal  contract
right  or  obligation herein, this agreement shall run  with  any
interest  in  the Property and with the title thereto.  Once  any
person, party or entity has ceased to have an interest in fee  in
any  portion  of the Entire Property, it shall not be  bound  by,
subject  to  or  benefit from the terms hereof;  but  its  heirs,
executors,  administrators, personal representatives,  successors
or  assigns,  as  the  case may be, shall be substituted  for  it
hereunder.

8.    Any notice or election required or permitted to be given or
served by any party hereto to, or upon any other, shall be deemed
given  or  served  in  accordance with  the  provisions  of  this
Agreement, if said notice or elections addressed as follows;

                       PROPERTY CO-TENANCY
                       OWNERSHIP AGREEMENT
            (Applebee's Restaurant - Middletown, OH)
                                
                                
THIS CO-TENANCY AGREEMENT,

Made and entered into as of the 30th day of September , 1997,  by
and  between Richard J. Abbott and Marjory T. Abbott, husband and
wife as joint tenants (hereinafter called "Abbott"), and AEI  Net
Lease  Income  & Growth Fund XX Limited Partnership  (hereinafter
called  "Fund XX") (Abbott, Fund XX (and any other Owner  in  Fee
where  the  context  so  indicates) being  hereinafter  sometimes
collectively  called "Co-Tenants" and referred to in  the  neuter
gender).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Fund XX presently owns an undivided 84.7479% interest in
and  to, and Abbott presently owns an undivided 15.2521% interest
in and to the land, situated in the City of Middletown, County of
Warren,  and  State  of  OH, (legally described  upon  Exhibit  A
attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof) and in and to  the
improvements located thereon (hereinafter called "Premises");

WHEREAS,  The  parties  hereto wish to provide  for  the  orderly
operation and management of the Premises and Abbott's interest by
Fund XX; the continued leasing of space within the Premises;  for
the  distribution  of  income from and the  pro-rata  sharing  in
expenses of the Premises.

NOW  THEREFORE, in consideration of the purchase by Abbott of  an
undivided  interest  in and to the Premises,  for  at  least  One
Dollar  ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration by  the
parties  hereto  to  one another in hand paid,  the  receipt  and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and of  the  mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, it is hereby agreed by
and between the parties hereto, as follows:

1.    The  operation  and  management of the  Premises  shall  be
delegated  to  Fund  XX, or its designated agent,  successors  or
assigns.  Provided, however, if Fund XX shall  sell  all  of  its
interest in the Premises, the duties and obligations of  Fund  XX
respecting  management  of  the Premises  as  set  forth  herein,
including but not limited to paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 hereof, shall
be exercised by the holder or holders of a majority undivided co-
tenancy interest in the Premises. Except as hereinafter expressly
provided to the contrary, each of the parties hereto agrees to be
bound   by  the  decisions  of  Fund  XX  with  respect  to   all
administrative,  operational  and  management  matters   of   the
property  comprising the Premises, including but not  limited  to
the  management of the net lease agreement  for the Premises. The
parties  hereto  hereby  designate Fund  XX  as  their  sole  and
exclusive agent to deal with, and Fund XX retains the sole  right
to  deal  with,  any  property agent or tenant  and  to  monitor,
execute  and  enforce  the terms of leases of  space  within  the
Premises,  including but not limited to any amendments,  consents
to  assignment, sublet, releases or modifications  to  leases  or
guarantees  of  lease  or easements affecting  the  Premises,  on
behalf  of Abbott. Only Fund XX may obligate Abbott with  respect
to any expense for the Premises.

As  further  set forth in paragraph 2 hereof, Fund XX  agrees  to
require  any lessee of the Premises to name Abbott as an  insured
or  additional insured in all insurance policies provided for, or
contemplated by, any lease on the Premises. Fund XX shall use its
best  efforts  to obtain endorsements adding Co-Tenants  to  said
policies  from  lessee  within 30 days of  commencement  of  this
agreement.  In any event, Fund XX shall distribute any  insurance
proceeds it may receive, to the extent consistent with any  lease
on  the  Premises,  to  the Co-Tenants  in  proportion  to  their
respective ownership of the Premises.

Co-Tenancy Agreement for Applebee's, Middletown, OH


2.    Income and expenses shall be allocated among the Co-Tenants
in  proportion to their respective share(s) of ownership.  Shares
of  net income shall be pro-rated for any partial calendar  years
included  within the term of this Agreement. Fund XX  may  offset
against, pay to itself and deduct from any payment due to  Abbott
under  this  Agreement,  and may pay  to  itself  the  amount  of
Abbott's  share of any legitimate expenses of the Premises  which
are not paid by Abbott to Fund XX or its assigns, within ten (10)
days  after demand by Fund XX. In the event there is insufficient
operating  income from which to deduct Abbott's unpaid  share  of
operating expenses, Fund XX may pursue any and all legal remedies
for collection.

Operating  Expenses  shall include all normal operating  expense,
including  but not limited to: maintenance, utilities,  supplies,
labor, management, advertising and promotional expenses, salaries
and wages of rental and management personnel, leasing commissions
to  third  parties, a monthly accrual to pay insurance  premiums,
real  estate taxes, installments of special assessments  and  for
structural repairs and replacements, management fees, legal  fees
and accounting fees, but excluding all operating expenses paid by
Tenant under terms of any lease agreement of the Premises.

Abbott  has  no requirement to, but has, nonetheless  elected  to
retain,  and agrees to annually reimburse, Fund XX in the  amount
of  $744 for the expenses, direct and indirect, incurred by  Fund
XX   in   providing   Abbott   with  quarterly   accounting   and
distributions  of Abbott's share of net income and for  tracking,
reporting  and  assessing the calculation of  Abbott's  share  of
operating  expenses  incurred from  the  Premises.  This  invoice
amount shall be pro-rated for partial years and Abbott authorizes
Fund XX to deduct such amount from Abbott's share of revenue from
the  Premises.  Abbott  may  terminate  this  agreement  in  this
paragraph respecting accounting and distributions at any time and
attempt  to collect its share of rental income directly from  the
tenant; however, enforcement of all other provisions of the lease
remains  the sole right of Fund XX pursuant to Section 1  hereof.
Fund XX may terminate its obligation under this paragraph upon 30
days  notice  to  Abbott  prior to the end  of  each  anniversary
hereof, unless agreed in writing to the contrary.

3.    Full, accurate and complete books of account shall be  kept
in  accordance  with generally accepted accounting principles  at
Fund  XX's principal office, and each Co-Tenant shall have access
to  such  books and may inspect and copy any part thereof  during
normal  business hours. Within ninety (90) days after the end  of
each  calendar year during the term hereof, Fund XX shall prepare
an  accurate  income statement for the ownership of the  Premises
for  said calendar year and shall furnish copies of the  same  to
all Co-Tenants. Quarterly, as its share, Abbott shall be entitled
to  receive 15.2521% of all items of income and expense generated
by  the  Premises.   Upon  receipt of  said  accounting,  if  the
payments received by each Co-Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph  3
do  not  equal,  in  the aggregate, the amounts  which  each  are
entitled  to receive proportional to its share of ownership  with
respect to said calendar year pursuant to Paragraph 2 hereof,  an
appropriate  adjustment  shall be made  so  that  each  Co-Tenant
receives the amount to which it is entitled.

4.    If  Net Income from the Premises is less than $0.00  (i.e.,
the  Premises  operates  at a loss), or if capital  improvements,
repairs, and/or replacements, for which adequate reserves do  not
exist,  need  to  be made to the Premises, the  Co-Tenants,  upon
receipt of a written request therefor from Fund XX, shall, within
fifteen  (15) business days after receipt of notice, make payment
to  Fund  XX sufficient to pay said net operating losses  and  to
provide necessary operating capital for the premises and  to  pay
for  said capital improvements, repairs and/or replacements,  all
in  proportion  to  their  undivided  interests  in  and  to  the
Premises.

5.    Co-Tenants  may, at any time, sell, finance,  or  otherwise
create  a lien upon their interest in the Premises but only  upon
their interest and not upon


Co-Tenant Intital: /s/ RJA
Co-Tenancy Agreement for Applebee's, Middletown, OH




any  part of the interest held, or owned, by any other Co-Tenant.
All  Co-Tenants reserve the right to escrow proceeds from a  sale
of  their interests in the Premises to obtain tax deferral by the
purchase of replacement property.

6.    If any Co-Tenant shall be in default with respect to any of
its  obligations hereunder, and if said default is not  corrected
within  thirty  (30)  days after receipt by said  defaulting  Co-
Tenant  of written notice of said default, or within a reasonable
period  if  said default does not consist solely of a failure  to
pay money, the remaining Co-Tenant(s) may resort to any available
remedy to cure said default at law, in equity, or by statute.

7.    This  property management agreement shall continue in  full
force  and effect and shall bind and inure to the benefit of  the
Co-Tenant  and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns  until
July  14,  2029  or  upon  the sale of  the  entire  Premises  in
accordance with the terms hereof and proper disbursement  of  the
proceeds   thereof,   whichever  shall   first   occur.    Unless
specifically   identified  as  a  personal  contract   right   or
obligation herein, this agreement shall run with any interest  in
the  Property and with the title thereto. Once any person,  party
or entity has ceased to have an interest in fee in any portion of
the  Entire  Property, it shall not be bound by,  subject  to  or
benefit   from  the  terms  hereof;  but  its  heirs,  executors,
administrators, personal representatives, successors or  assigns,
as the case may be, shall be substituted for it hereunder.

8.    Any notice or election required or permitted to be given or
served by any party hereto to, or upon any other, shall be deemed
given  or  served  in  accordance with  the  provisions  of  this
Agreement, if said notice or elections addressed as follows;

If to Fund XX:

If to Abbott

same  is  deposited in the United States certified  mail,  return
receipt  requested,  postage prepaid, or given  to  a  nationally
recognized  courier  service guaranteeing overnight  delivery  as
properly addressed in the manner above provided. Any party hereto
may  change  its address for the service of notice  hereunder  by
delivering  written notice of said change to  the  other  parties
hereunder, in the manner above specified, at least ten (10)  days
prior to the effective date of said change.

9.    This  Agreement shall not create any partnership  or  joint
venture  among or between the Co-Tenants or any of them, and  the
only  relationship  among  and between the  Co-Tenants  hereunder
shall  be  that  of owners of the premises as tenants  in  common
subject to the terms hereof.

10.    The  unenforceability or invalidity of  any  provision  or
provisions  of  this Agreement as to any person or  circumstances
shall not render that


Co-Tenant Intital: /s/ RJA

provision,  nor  any  other  provision hereof,  unenforceable  or
invalid  as  to  any  other  person  or  circumstances,  and  all
provisions hereof, in all other respects, shall remain valid  and
enforceable.

11.   In  the  event  any litigation arises between  the  parties
hereto  relating  to  this Agreement, or any  of  the  provisions
hereof, the party prevailing in such action shall be entitled  to
receive  from the losing party, in addition to all other  relief,
remedies  and  damages  to  which it is otherwise  entitled,  all
reasonable  costs  and expenses, including reasonable  attorneys'
fees,  incurred by the prevailing party in connection  with  said
litigation.

sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and of  the  mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, it is hereby agreed by
and between the parties hereto, as follows:

1.    The  operation  and  management of the  Premises  shall  be
delegated  to  Fund  XX, or its designated agent,  successors  or

interest in the Premises, the duties and obligations of  Fund  XX

Co-Tenant Initial: /s/ V.D.F.
Co-Tenancy Agreement for Arby's/Mrs. Winners - Smyrna, GA




As  further  set forth in paragraph 2 hereof, Fund XX  agrees  to
require  any Tenant of the Premises to name DeVito as an  insured
or  additional insured in all insurance policies provided for, or
contemplated by, any lease on the Premises. Fund XX shall use its
best  efforts  to obtain endorsements adding Co-Tenants  to  said
policies  from  Tenant  within 30 days of  commencement  of  this
agreement.  In any event, Fund XX shall distribute any  insurance
proceeds it may receive, to the extent consistent with any  lease
on  the  Premises,  to  the Co-Tenants  in  proportion  to  their
respective ownership of the Premises.

2.    Income,  expenses and any net proceeds from a sale  of  the
Premises shall be allocated among the Co-Tenants in proportion to
their  respective  share(s) of ownership. Shares  of  net  income
shall be pro-rated for any partial calendar years included within
the  term of this Agreement. Fund XX may offset against,  pay  to
itself  and  deduct  from any payment due to  DeVito  under  this
Agreement, and may pay to itself the amount of DeVito's share  of
any  legitimate expenses of the Premises which are  not  paid  by
DeVito  to  Fund  XX or its assigns, within ten (10)  days  after
demand  by  Fund XX. In the event there is insufficient operating
income  from  which to deduct DeVito's unpaid share of  operating
expenses,  Fund  XX  may pursue any and all  legal  remedies  for
collection.

Operating  Expenses  shall include all normal operating  expense,
including  but not limited to: maintenance, utilities,  supplies,
labor, management, advertising and promotional expenses, salaries
and wages of rental and management personnel, leasing commissions
to  third  parties, a monthly accrual to pay insurance  premiums,
real  estate taxes, installments of special assessments  and  for
structural repairs and replacements, management fees, legal  fees
and accounting fees, but excluding all operating expenses paid by
Tenant under terms of any lease agreement of the Premises.

DeVito  has  no requirement to, but has nonetheless,  elected  to
retain,  and agrees to annually reimburse, Fund XX in the  amount
of  $565 for the expenses, direct and indirect, incurred by  Fund
XX  in providing monthly accounting and distributions of DeVito's
share of net income and for tracking, reporting and assessing the
calculation of DeVito's share of operating expenses incurred from
the  Premises. This invoice amount shall be pro-rated for partial
years  and  DeVito authorizes Fund XX to deduct such amount  from
DeVito's share of revenue from the Premises. DeVito may terminate
this  agreement respecting accounting and distributions  in  this
paragraph  at  any time and seek to collect its share  of  rental
stream  directly  from  the tenant; however  enforcement  of  all
provisions  of  the  lease remains the  sole  right  of  Fund  XX
pursuant  to  section  1  hereof.   Fund  XX  may  terminate  its
obligation  under  this paragraph upon 30 days notice  to  DeVito
prior  to  the end of each anniversary hereof, unless  agreed  in
writing to the contrary.

3.    Full, accurate and complete books of account shall be  kept
in  accordance  with generally accepted accounting principles  at
Fund  XX's principal office, and each Co-Tenant shall have access
to  such  books and may inspect and copy any part thereof  during
normal  business hours. Within ninety (90) days after the end  of
each  calendar year during the term hereof, Fund XX shall prepare
an  accurate  income statement for the ownership of the  Premises
for  said calendar year and shall furnish copies of the  same  to
all Co-Tenants. Quarterly, as its share, DeVito shall be entitled
to  receive 11.0405% of all items of income and expense generated
by the Premises. Upon receipt of said accounting, if the payments
received  by each Co-Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 3  do  not
equal,  in the aggregate, the amounts which each are entitled  to
receive  with respect to said calendar year pursuant to Paragraph
2 hereof, an appropriate adjustment shall be made so that each Co-
Tenant receives the amount to which it is entitled.

4.    If  Net Income from the Premises is less than $0.00  (i.e.,
the  Premises  operates  at a loss), or if capital  improvements,
repairs, and/or replacements, for which adequate reserves do  not
exist,  need  to  be made to the Premises, the  Co-Tenants,  upon
receipt of a written request therefor from Fund XX, shall,



Co-Tenant Initial: /s/ V.D.F.
Co-Tenancy Agreement for Arby's/Mrs. Winners - Smyrna, GA





within  fifteen (15) business days after receipt of notice,  make
payment  to  Fund XX sufficient to pay said net operating  losses
and  to provide necessary operating capital for the premises  and
to   pay   for   said   capital  improvements,   repairs   and/or
replacements, all in proportion to their undivided  interests  in
and to the Premises.

5.    Co-Tenants  may, at any time, sell, finance,  or  otherwise
create  a lien upon their interest in the Premises but only  upon
their  interest  and not upon any part of the interest  held,  or
owned, by any other Co-Tenant.  All Co-Tenants reserve the  right
to escrow proceeds from a sale of their interests in the Premises
to obtain tax deferral by the purchase of replacement property.

6.   If any Co-Tenant  shall be in default with respect to any of
its  obligations hereunder, and if said default is not  corrected
within  thirty  (30)  days after receipt by said  defaulting  Co-
Tenant  of written notice of said default, or within a reasonable
period  if  said default does not consist solely of a failure  to
pay money, the remaining Co-Tenant(s) may resort to any available
remedy to cure said default at law, in equity, or by statute,  or
set forth herein.

7.    This  property management agreement shall continue in  full
force  and effect and shall bind and inure to the benefit of  the
Co-Tenant  and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns  until
May  31,  2024 or upon the sale of the entire fee simple interest
in  the  Premises in accordance with the terms hereof and  proper
disbursement  of  the  proceeds thereof,  whichever  shall  first
occur.   Unless  specifically identified as a  personal  contract
right  or  obligation herein, this agreement shall run  with  any
interest  in  the Property and with the title thereto.  Once  any
person, party or entity has ceased to have an interest in fee  in
any  portion  of the Entire Property, it shall not be  bound  by,
subject  to  or  benefit from the terms hereof;  but  its  heirs,
executors,  administrators, personal representatives,  successors
or  assigns,  as  the  case may be, shall be substituted  for  it
hereunder.

8.    Any notice or election required or permitted to be given or
served by any party hereto to, or upon any other, shall be deemed
given  or  served  in  accordance with  the  provisions  of  this
Agreement, if said notice or elections addressed as follows;

2.    Income and expenses shall be allocated among the Co-Tenants
in  proportion to their respective share(s) of ownership.  Shares
of  net income shall be pro-rated for any partial calendar  years
included  within the term of this Agreement. Fund XX  may  offset
against, pay to itself and deduct from any payment due to  DeVito
under  this  Agreement,  and may pay  to  itself  the  amount  of
DeVito's  share of any legitimate expenses of the Premises  which
are not paid by DeVito to Fund XX or its assigns, within ten (10)
days  after demand by Fund XX. In the event there is insufficient
operating  income from which to deduct DeVito's unpaid  share  of
operating expenses, Fund XX may pursue any and all legal remedies
for collection.

Operating  Expenses  shall include all normal operating  expense,
including  but not limited to: maintenance, utilities,  supplies,
labor, management, advertising and promotional expenses, salaries
and wages of rental and management personnel, leasing commissions
to  third  parties, a monthly accrual to pay insurance  premiums,
real  estate taxes, installments of special assessments  and  for
structural repairs and replacements, management fees, legal  fees
and accounting fees, but excluding all operating expenses paid by
Tenant under terms of any lease agreement of the Premises.

DeVito  has  no requirement to, but has, nonetheless  elected  to
retain,  and agrees to annually reimburse, Fund XX in the  amount
of  $900 for the expenses, direct and indirect, incurred by  Fund
XX  in providing DeVito with monthly accounting and distributions
of  DeVito's share of net income and for tracking, reporting  and
assessing the calculation of DeVito's share of operating expenses
incurred  from  the Premises. This invoice amount shall  be  pro-
rated  for partial years and DeVito authorizes Fund XX to  deduct
such  amount  from DeVito's share of revenue from  the  Premises.
DeVito  may terminate this agreement in this paragraph respecting
accounting  and distributions at any time and attempt to  collect
its  share  of  rental income directly from the tenant;  however,
enforcement of all other provisions of the lease remains the sole
right  of  Fund  XX pursuant to Section 1 hereof.   Fund  XX  may
terminate its obligation under this paragraph upon 30 days notice
to  DeVito  prior to the end of each anniversary  hereof,  unless
agreed in writing to the contrary.

3.    Full, accurate and complete books of account shall be  kept
in  accordance  with generally accepted accounting principles  at
Fund  XX's principal office, and each Co-Tenant shall have access
to  such  books and may inspect and copy any part thereof  during
normal  business hours. Within ninety (90) days after the end  of
each  calendar year during the term hereof, Fund XX shall prepare
an  accurate  income statement for the ownership of the  Premises
for  said calendar year and shall furnish copies of the  same  to
all Co-Tenants. Quarterly, as its share, DeVito shall be entitled
to  receive 18.6076% of all items of income and expense generated
by  the  Premises.   Upon  receipt of  said  accounting,  if  the
payments received by each Co-Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph  3
do  not  equal,  in  the aggregate, the amounts  which  each  are
entitled  to receive proportional to its share of ownership  with
respect to said calendar year pursuant to Paragraph 2 hereof,  an
appropriate  adjustment  shall be made  so  that  each  Co-Tenant
receives the amount to which it is entitled.

4.    If  Net Income from the Premises is less than $0.00  (i.e.,
the  Premises  operates  at a loss), or if capital  improvements,
repairs, and/or replacements, for which adequate reserves do  not
exist,  need  to  be made to the Premises, the  Co-Tenants,  upon
receipt of a written request therefor from Fund XX, shall, within
fifteen  (15) business days after receipt of notice, make payment
to  Fund  XX sufficient to pay said net operating losses  and  to
provide necessary operating capital for the premises and  to  pay
for  said capital improvements, repairs and/or replacements,  all
in  proportion  to  their  undivided  interests  in  and  to  the
Premises.

5.    Co-Tenants  may, at any time, sell, finance,  or  otherwise
create  a lien upon their interest in the Premises but only  upon
their  interest  and not upon any part of the interest  held,  or
owned, by any other Co-Tenant.  All Co-Tenants reserve the  right
to escrow proceeds from a sale of their interests in the Premises
to obtain tax deferral by the purchase of replacement property.

6.    If any Co-Tenant shall be in default with respect to any of
its  obligations hereunder, and if said default is not  corrected
within  thirty  (30)  days after receipt by said  defaulting  Co-
Tenant  of written notice of said default, or within a reasonable
period  if  said default does not consist solely of a failure  to
pay money, the remaining Co-Tenant(s) may resort to any available
remedy to cure said default at law, in equity, or by statute.

7.    This  property management agreement shall continue in  full
force  and effect and shall bind and inure to the benefit of  the
Co-Tenant  and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns  until
July  14,  2029  or  upon  the sale of  the  entire  Premises  in
accordance with the terms hereof and proper disbursement  of  the
proceeds   thereof,   whichever  shall   first   occur.    Unless
specifically   identified  as  a  personal  contract   right   or
obligation herein, this agreement shall run with any interest  in
the  Property and with the title thereto. Once any person,  party
or entity has ceased to have an interest in fee in any portion of
the  Entire  Property, it shall not be bound by,  subject  to  or
benefit   from  the  terms  hereof;  but  its  heirs,  executors,
administrators, personal representatives, successors or  assigns,
as the case may be, shall be substituted for it hereunder.

8.    Any notice or election required or permitted to be given or
served by any party hereto to, or upon any other, shall be deemed
given  or  served  in  accordance with  the  provisions  of  this
Agreement, if said notice or elections addressed as follows;

recognized  courier  service guaranteeing overnight  delivery  as

venture  among or between the Co-Tenants or any of them, and  the
only  relationship  among  and between the  Co-Tenants  hereunder
shall  be  that  of owners of the premises as tenants  in  common
subject to the terms hereof.

10.    The  unenforceability or invalidity of  any  provision  or
provisions  of  this Agreement as to any person or  circumstances

unenforceable or invalid as to any other person or circumstances,
and  all  provisions hereof, in all other respects, shall  remain
valid and enforceable.

11.   In  the  event  any litigation arises between  the  parties
