                             PART I

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

        AEI Net Lease Income & Growth Fund XX Limited Partnership
(the  "Partnership" or the "Registrant") is a limited partnership
which  was  organized  pursuant to  the  laws  of  the  State  of
Minnesota  on September 2, 1992.  The registrant is comprised  of
AEI  Fund  Management XX, Inc. (AFM) as Managing General Partner,
Robert  P.  Johnson  as  the  Individual  General  Partner,   and
purchasers  of  partnership  units  as  Limited  Partners.    The
Partnership  offered  for  sale  up  to  $24,000,000  of  limited
partnership interests (the "Units") (24,000 Units at  $1,000  per
Unit) pursuant to a registration statement effective January  20,
1993. 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.

        The  Partnership  was organized to acquire  existing  and
newly  constructed commercial properties located  in  the  United
States,  to  lease  such properties to tenants under  triple  net
leases,  to  hold  such  properties and to eventually  sell  such
properties.  As of December 31, 1996, from subscription proceeds,
the  Partnership  had  purchased thirteen  properties,  including
partial  interests  in  four  properties,  at  a  total  cost  of
$19,421,783.   The  balance  of  the  subscription  proceeds  was
applied  to  organization and syndication costs, working  capital
reserves  and  distributions,  which  represented  a  return   of
capital.   The  properties  are  all  commercial,  single  tenant
buildings leased under triple net leases.

        The  Partnership's  properties  will  be  purchased  with
subscription proceeds without any indebtedness.  The  Partnership
will not finance properties in the future to obtain proceeds  for
new  property  acquisitions.  If it is required  to  do  so,  the
Partnership  may  incur  short-term indebtedness,  which  may  be
secured  by a portion of the Partnership's properties, to finance
the   day-to-day  cash  flow  requirements  of  the   Partnership
(including cash flow necessary to repurchase Units).  The  amount
of borrowings that may be secured by the Partnership's properties
is  limited in the aggregate to 10% of the purchase price of  all
Partnership   properties.   The  Partnership   will   not   incur
borrowings prior to application of the proceeds from sale of  the
Units,  will not incur borrowings to pay distributions, and  will
not   incur   borrowings  while  there  is  cash  available   for
distributions.

       The Partnership will hold its properties until the General
Partners  determine  that the sale or other  disposition  of  the
properties   is   advantageous  in  view  of  the   Partnership's
investment  objectives.  In deciding whether to sell  properties,
the  General  Partners will consider factors  such  as  potential
appreciation,  net  cash flow and income tax considerations.   In
addition,  certain lessees have been granted options to  purchase
properties  after  a  specified portion of  the  lease  term  has
elapsed.   It is anticipated that the Partnership will  sell  its
properties twelve to fifteen years after acquisition.

Leases

       Although there are variations in the specific terms of the
leases,  the following is a summary of the general terms  of  the
Partnership's  leases.   The properties  are  leased  to  various
tenants   under  noncancelable  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  for  the  property.
The  initial  lease  terms are for 10 to 20  years.   The  leases
provide  for  base  annual rental payments,  payable  in  monthly
installments,  and  contain  rent  clauses  which   entitle   the
Partnership to receive additional rent in future years  based  on
stated rent increases.

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. (Continued)

        The leases provide the lessees with two to five five-year
renewal options subject to the same terms and conditions  as  the
initial  lease.   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.

       During 1995, the Partnership sold 59.8646% of the HomeTown
Buffet  restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in  four  separate
transactions   to  unrelated  third  parties.   The   Partnership
received total net sale proceeds of $988,838 which resulted in  a
total  net  gain  of  $225,180.  The total cost  and  accumulated
depreciation  of  the  interests sold was $792,515  and  $28,857,
respectively.

         During  1996,  the  Partnership  sold  31.7210%  of  the
Arby's/Mrs.  Winner's  restaurant  in  Smyrna,  Georgia,  in  two
separate   transactions   to  unrelated   third   parties.    The
Partnership  received total net sale proceeds of  $461,077  which
resulted  in  a  total net gain of $87,281.  The total  cost  and
accumulated  depreciation of the interests sold was $393,493  and
$19,697, respectively.

        On  January 10, 1997, the Partnership sold an  additional
15.8515%  interest  in  the Arby's/Mrs.  Winner's  restaurant  in
Smyrna,  Georgia  to an unrelated third party.   The  Partnership
received  net  sale  proceeds  of  approximately  $221,000  which
resulted in a net gain of approximately $35,000.

        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
interest in the property was purchased 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.

Major Tenants

        During  1996,  four  of  the Partnership's  lessees  each
contributed  more  than  ten percent of the  Partnership's  total
rental  revenue.  The major tenants in aggregate contributed  65%
of  the Partnership's total rental revenue in 1996.  Because  the
Partnership  has not completed its acquisition of properties,  it
is  not possible to determine which tenants will contribute  more
than  ten percent of the Partnership's rental income in 1997  and
future years.  In the event that certain tenants contribute  more
than  ten  percent of the Partnership's rental income  in  future
years, any failure of these major tenants could materially affect
the Partnership's net income and cash distributions.

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. (Continued)

Competition

        The  Partnership is a minor factor in the commercial real
estate  business.   There are numerous entities  engaged  in  the
commercial  real  estate  business which have  greater  financial
resources  than  the  Partnership.  At the time  the  Partnership
elects to dispose of its properties, the Partnership will  be  in
competition  with other persons and entities to find  buyers  for
its properties.

Employees

        The  Partnership  has  no direct  employees.   Management
services   are  performed  for  the  Partnership  by   AEI   Fund
Management, Inc., an affiliate of AFM.

ITEM 2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES.

Investment Objectives

        The  Partnership's investment objectives are  to  acquire
existing or newly-developed commercial properties throughout  the
United  States  that  offer the potential for  (i)  regular  cash
distributions  of  lease  income; (ii)  growth  in  lease  income
through rent escalation provisions; (iii) preservation of capital
through all-cash sale-leaseback transactions; (iv) capital growth
through  appreciation in the value of properties; and (v)  stable
property  performance  through long-term  lease  contracts.   The
Partnership  does not have a policy, and there is no  limitation,
as  to the amount or percentage of assets that may be invested in
any  one  property.  However, to the extent possible, the General
Partners  attempt  to  diversify the type  and  location  of  the
Partnership's properties.

Description of Properties

        The  Partnership's properties are all commercial,  single
tenant  buildings.  The properties were acquired on  a  debt-free
basis  and  are  leased  to various tenants  under  noncancelable
triple net leases, which are classified as operating leases.  The
Partnership  holds  an  undivided  fee  simple  interest  in  the
properties.

        The  Partnership's properties are subject to the  general
competitive conditions incident to the ownership of single tenant
investment  real estate.  Since each property is leased  under  a
long-term   lease,   there  is  little  competition   until   the
Partnership  decides to sell the property.   At  this  time,  the
Partnership will be competing with other real estate  owners,  on
both a national and local level, in attempting to find buyers for
the   properties.   In  the  event  of  a  tenant  default,   the
Partnership would be competing with other real estate owners, who
have  property vacancies, to attract a new tenant  to  lease  the
property.   The Partnership's tenants operate in industries  that
are  very  competitive and can be affected  by  factors  such  as
changes  in regional or local economies, seasonality and  changes
in consumer preference.

 The property was vacated on January 31, 1997 and listed
 for sale or lease.
</TABLE>
        The  properties  listed above with  a  partial  ownership
percentage  are  owned  with affiliates  of  the  Partnership  or
unrelated   third  parties.   The  remaining  interest   in   the
Applebee's in Middletown is owned by AEI Institutional Net  Lease
Fund  `93.  The remaining interests in the Media Play and  Garden
Ridge  retail stores are owned by AEI Net Lease Income  &  Growth
Fund  XIX  Limited Partnership and AEI Income & Growth  Fund  XXI
Limited  Partnership.   The remaining interests  in  the  Champps
property  are  owned  by the Individual General  Partner  of  the
Partnership  and  AEI  Institutional Net  Lease  Fund  '93.   The
remaining  interests in the HomeTown Buffet and  the  Arby's/Mrs.
Winner's properties are owned by unrelated third parties.

        For  properties  owned with affiliates, each  Partnership
owns  a  separate,  undivided interest  in  the  properties.   No
specific  agreement or commitment exists between the Partnerships
as  to  the  management  of  their respective  interests  in  the
properties,  and  the  Partnership that holds  more  than  a  50%
interest  does not control decisions over the other Partnership's
interest.

        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 store, which has renewal options  that
may extend the Lease term an additional 25 years.

       Pursuant to the Lease Agreements, the tenants are required
to provide proof of adequate insurance coverage on the properties
they  occupy.   The General Partners believe the  properties  are
adequately covered by insurance and consider the properties to be
well-maintained and sufficient for the Partnership's operations.

ITEM 2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES. (Continued)

         For  tax  purposes,  the  Partnership's  properties  are
depreciated  under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery  System
(MACRS).  The largest depreciable component of a property is  the
building  which  is depreciated, using the straight-line  method,
over  40  years.   The  remaining  depreciable  components  of  a
property  are personal property and land improvements  which  are
depreciated,  using an accelerated method, over 5 and  15  years,
respectively.  Since the Partnership has tax-exempt Partners, the
Partnership is subject to the rules of Section 168(h)(6)  of  the
Internal  Revenue  Code  which  requires  a  percentage  of   the
properties' depreciable components to be depreciated over  longer
lives using the straight-line method.  In general the federal tax
basis of the properties for tax depreciation purposes is the same
as the basis for book depreciation purposes.

       Through December 31, 1996, all properties were 100 percent
occupied by the lessees.

ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND
          RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.

        As  of  December  31, 1996, there were 1,605  holders  of
record  of the registrant's Limited Partnership Units.  There  is
no  other  class  of  security outstanding  or  authorized.   The
registrant's  Units  are  not a traded security  in  any  market.
However, the Partnership may purchase 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 total 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.

        During 1996, sixteen Limited Partners redeemed a total of
216.2  Partnership  Units for $194,115  in  accordance  with  the
Partnership Agreement.  In 1995, five Limited Partners redeemed a
total of 131.5 Partnership Units for $118,350 in accordance  with
the   Partnership  Agreement.   The  redemptions   increase   the
remaining   Limited   Partners'   ownership   interest   in   the
Partnership.

       Cash distributions of $21,355 and $20,438 were made to the
General Partners and $1,919,995 and $1,905,001 were made  to  the
Limited   Partners   in   1996  and  1995,   respectively.    The
distributions  were made on a quarterly basis and  represent  Net
Cash  Flow,  as  defined,  and a partial  return  of  contributed
capital.   These  distributions  should  not  be  compared   with
dividends paid on capital stock by corporations.

        As  part  of the Limited Partner distributions  discussed
above,  the  Partnership  distributed  $99,565  and  $481,512  of
proceeds from property sales in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.

Results of Operations

        For  the  years  ended December 31, 1996  and  1995,  the
Partnership   recognized   rental  income   of   $2,160,177   and
$1,337,211,   respectively.   During  the   same   periods,   the
Partnership  earned  $199,620 and $515,081 in  investment  income
from  subscription  proceeds which were  invested  in  short-term
money market accounts and construction advances.  This investment
income constituted 8% and 28% of total income for the years ended
December  31,  1996  and 1995, respectively.  The  percentage  of
total  income  represented  by  investment  income  declines   as
subscription 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.

        During  the years ended December 31, 1996 and  1995,  the
Partnership   paid   Partnership   administration   expenses   to
affiliated parties of $221,908 and $256,299, respectively.  These
administration  expenses  include  initial  start-up  costs   and
expenses  associated  with  the  management  of  the  properties,
processing    distributions,    reporting    requirements     and
correspondence  to  the  Limited  Partners.   The  administrative
expenses   decrease  after  completion  of   the   offering   and
acquisition phases of the Partnership's operations.   During  the
same periods, the Partnership incurred Partnership administration
and  property  management  expenses  from  unrelated  parties  of
$33,597  and  $35,823,  respectively.  These  expenses  represent
direct  payments  to  third parties for legal  and  filing  fees,
direct  administrative costs, outside audit and accounting costs,
insurance and other property costs.

        The  Partnership distributes all of its net income during
the  offering  and  acquisition phases, and if net  income  after
deductions  for  depreciation  is  not  sufficient  to  fund  the
distributions,  the  Partnership may distribute  other  available
cash that constitutes capital for accounting purposes.

         As   of  December  31,  1996,  the  Partnership's   cash
distribution rate was 8.0% 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.

ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.  (Continued)

       Since the Partnership has only recently purchased its real
estate,  inflation  has  had  a minimal  effect  on  income  from
operations.   It is expected that increases in sales  volumes  of
the  tenants due to inflation and real sales growth, 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 partially offset by proceeds  from  the
sale of property.

       During 1995, the Partnership sold 59.8646% of the HomeTown
Buffet  restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in  four  separate
transactions   to  unrelated  third  parties.   The   Partnership
received total net sale proceeds of $988,838 which resulted in  a
total  net  gain  of  $225,180.  The total cost  and  accumulated
depreciation  of  the  interests sold was $792,515  and  $28,857,
respectively.

         During  1996,  the  Partnership  sold  31.7210%  of  the
Arby's/Mrs.  Winner's  restaurant  in  Smyrna,  Georgia,  in  two
separate   transactions   to  unrelated   third   parties.    The
Partnership  received total net sale proceeds of  $461,077  which
resulted  in  a  total net gain of $87,281.  The total  cost  and
accumulated  depreciation of the interests sold was $393,493  and
$19,697, respectively.

        On  January 10, 1997, the Partnership sold an  additional
15.8515%  interest  in  the Arby's/Mrs.  Winner's  restaurant  in
Smyrna,  Georgia  to an unrelated third party.   The  Partnership
received  net  sale  proceeds  of  approximately  $221,000  which
resulted in a net gain of approximately $35,000.

       During 1996 and 1995, the Partnership distributed net sale
proceeds  of $100,570 and $486,375, respectively, to the  Limited
and   General  Partners  as  part  of  their  regular   quarterly
distributions which represented a return of capital of $4.17  and
$20.24 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.

        Before  the  acquisition of properties,  cash  flow  from
operating  activities  is  not  significant.   Net  income  after
adjustment for depreciation, which becomes the largest  component
of  cash flow from operating activities and the largest component
of  cash  flow after the completion of the acquisition phase,  is
lower  during the first few years of operations as administrative
expenses  remain  high  and a large amount of  the  Partnership's
assets  remain  invested on a short-term basis in  lower-yielding
cash equivalents.

ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.  (Continued)

         Until   the   offering  of  Units  was  completed,   the
Partnership's primary source of cash flow was from  the  sale  of
Limited  Partnership Units.  From January 20, 1993  to  June  30,
1993,  the  minimum number of Limited Partnership  Units  (1,500)
needed to form the Partnership were sold and on June 30, 1993,  a
total  of 1,637.473 Units ($1,637,473) were transferred into  the
Partnership.   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.  From  subscription
proceeds, the Partnership paid organization and syndication costs
(which constitute a reduction of capital) of $3,282,051.

         After   completion   of  the  acquisition   phase,   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.

        During 1996, sixteen Limited Partners redeemed a total of
216.2  Partnership  Units for $194,115  in  accordance  with  the
Partnership  Agreement.   The Partnership  acquired  these  Units
using  net  cash  flow from operations.  In  1995,  five  Limited
Partners redeemed a total of 131.5 Partnership Units for $118,350
in  accordance  with the Partnership Agreement.  The  redemptions
increase  the remaining Limited Partners' 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.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                   DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

(1)  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.
     (AEI),  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.
     
     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.
     
                                
    AEI NET LEASE INCOME & GROWTH FUND XX LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                   DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

(1)  Organization - (Continued)

     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.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -

     Financial Statement Presentation
     
       The  accounts  of  the Partnership are maintained  on  the
       accrual  basis of accounting for both federal  income  tax
       purposes and financial reporting purposes.
     
     Accounting Estimates
     
       Management  uses  estimates and assumptions  in  preparing
       these  financial statements in accordance  with  generally
       accepted  accounting  principles.   Those  estimates   and
       assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets  and
       liabilities,  the  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and
       liabilities,  and  the  reported  revenues  and  expenses.
       Actual results could differ from those estimates.
       
       The  Partnership regularly assesses whether market  events
       and conditions indicate that it is reasonably possible  to
       recover  the carrying amounts of its investments  in  real
       estate  from  future operations and sales.   A  change  in
       those  market events and conditions could have a  material
       effect on the carrying amount of its real estate
       
     Cash Concentrations of Credit Risk

       At  times  throughout  the year,  the  Partnership's  cash
       deposited  in  financial  institutions  may  exceed   FDIC
       insurance limits.

                   DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)
     
     Statement of Cash Flows
     
       For  purposes  of  reporting cash  flows,  cash  and  cash
       equivalents  include cash in checking,  cash  invested  in
       money  market  accounts, certificates of deposit,  federal
       agency  notes  and commercial paper with a term  of  three
       months or less.

     Income Taxes

       The  income or loss of the Partnership for federal  income
       tax  reporting  purposes is includable in the  income  tax
       returns of the partners.  Accordingly, no recognition  has
       been  given to income taxes in the accompanying  financial
       statements.
       
       The  tax  return, the qualification of the Partnership  as
       such  for  tax  purposes, and the amount of  distributable
       Partnership  income or loss are subject to examination  by
       federal   and  state  taxing  authorities.   If  such   an
       examination  results  in  changes  with  respect  to   the
       Partnership  qualification or in changes to  distributable
       Partnership  income  or loss, the taxable  income  of  the
       partners would be adjusted accordingly.

     Real Estate
     
       The  Partnership's real estate is or will be leased  under
       long-term   triple  net  leases  classified  as  operating
       leases.  The Partnership recognizes rental revenue on  the
       accrual  basis  according to the terms of  the  individual
       leases.    For  leases  which  contain  cost   of   living
       increases,  the increases are recognized in  the  year  in
       which they are effective.
       
       Real  estate is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated
       net  realizable value.  The Financial Accounting Standards
       Board  issued  Statement  No.  121,  "Accounting  for  the
       Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived  Assets
       to   be   Disposed   Of"  which  is  effective   for   the
       Partnership's fiscal year ended December 31,  1996.   This
       standard  requires the Partnership to compare the carrying
       amount  of  its  properties to the estimated  future  cash
       flows  expected  to  result  from  the  property  and  its
       eventual  disposition.  If the sum of the expected  future
       cash  flows  is  less  than the  carrying  amount  of  the
       property,  the  Statement  requires  the  Partnership   to
       recognize  an impairment loss by the amount by  which  the
       carrying amount of the property exceeds the fair value  of
       the  property.  Adoption of this Statement did not have  a
       material    effect   on   the   Partnership's    financial
       statements.
       
       The  Partnership  has capitalized as Investments  in  Real
       Estate   certain   costs  incurred  in  the   review   and
       acquisition  of  the  properties.   The  costs   will   be
       allocated to the land, buildings and equipment.
       
                                
    AEI NET LEASE INCOME & GROWTH FUND XX LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                   DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
                                
(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)
     
       The   buildings  and  equipment  of  the  Partnership  are
       depreciated  using the straight-line method for  financial
       reporting purposes based on estimated useful lives  of  30
       years and 10 years, respectively.

       During  the fourth quarter of 1996, as a result of changes
       in  certain  agreements, the Partnership began  accounting
       for  properties owned as tenants-in-common with  unrelated
       third   parties   using  the  proportionate  consolidation
       method.   Each tenant-in-common owns a separate, undivided
       interest  in  the  properties.  Any tenant-in-common  that
       holds  more than a 50% interest does not control decisions
       over  the  other  tenant-in-common  interests.   The  1996
       financial   statements  reflect  only  this  Partnership's
       percentage  share  of the property's  land,  building  and
       equipment, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
       
       In  fiscal 1995, for properties owned as tenants-in-common
       with   unrelated  third  parties,  other  than  affiliated
       partnerships, the Partnership accounted for  its  interest
       under  the full consolidation method whereby the unrelated
       third  parties' interests in the properties were reflected
       in  the  Partnership's financial statements as a  minority
       interest.   For  purposes  of  financial  reporting,   the
       Partnership consolidated properties in which  it  was  the
       controlling   tenant-in-common  despite  having   only   a
       minority equity interest in the property.
       
       In   both  fiscal  1996  and  1995,  properties  owned  in
       conjunction  with related Partnerships were accounted  for
       using the proportionate consolidation method.

(3)  Related Party Transactions -

     On  July  15,  1994,  the Partnership acquired  a  93.96628%
     interest  in the Applebee's restaurant in Middletown,  Ohio.
     The  remaining  interest in the property  is  owned  by  AEI

     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 properties were constructed in  1993,
     1994,  1995  and  1996, except the Red  Robins  in  Colorado
     Springs,  Colorado which were constructed in 1984 and  1987.
     The  Partnership acquired all properties in 1993, 1994, 1995
     and   1996.   There  have  been  no  costs  capitalized   as
     improvements subsequent to the acquisitions.

     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.
     
     During  1995, the Partnership sold 59.8646% of the  HomeTown
     Buffet  restaurant  in  Albuquerque,  New  Mexico,  in  four
     separate  transactions  to  unrelated  third  parties.   The
     Partnership  received  total net sale proceeds  of  $988,838

     Musicland Group, Inc. (MGI) under a Lease Agreement  with  a
     primary  term  of  18  years and annual rental  payments  of
     $135,482.
     
     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.
     
     During  1996 and 1995, the Partnership distributed net  sale
     proceeds  of  $100,570  and $486,375, respectively,  to  the

     quarterly  distributions  which  represented  a  return   of
     capital  of  $4.17 and $20.24 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.

(6)  Partners' Capital - (Continued)

     Distributions  of  Net  Cash Flow to  the  General  Partners
     during  1996  and  1995  were subordinated  to  the  Limited
     Partners  as  required in the Partnership Agreement.   As  a
     result,  99%  of distributions and income were allocated  to
     the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners.
     
     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.
     
     During  1996, sixteen Limited Partners redeemed a  total  of
     216.2 Partnership Units for $194,115 in accordance with  the
     Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership acquired these Units
     using  net cash flow from operations.  In 1995, five Limited
     Partners  redeemed  a total of 131.5 Partnership  Units  for
     $118,350.   The  redemptions increase the remaining  Limited
     Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership.
     
     After  the  effect  of  redemptions,  the  Adjusted  Capital
     Contribution,  as defined in the Partnership  Agreement,  is
     $1,014.70 per original $1,000 invested.

Play, Inc., a Delaware corporation, each having an office
10400 Yellow Circle Drive, Minnetonka, Minnesota 55343
(hereinafter collectively called "Tenant").

                         WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, Landlord and The Musicland Group, Inc. entered
into that certain written Lease Agreement dated December 21,
1995 (hereinafter referred to as the "Lease") demising
certain premises containing approximately 48,944 square feet
located in the City of Apple Valley and State of Minnesota
(hereinafter referred to as the "Premises") and more
particularly described in said Lease; and

     WHEREAS, The Musicland Group, Inc. assigned its
interest in the Lease to Media Play, Inc. pursuant to that
certain Assignment and Assumption of Lease Agreement dated
December 21, 1995; and

     WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually desire and
intend to terminate, cancel, and surrender said Lease and
any and all Agreements with respect to the Premises,
conditioned upon the faithful observation of the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises
which by this reference are incorporated herein, the mutual
covenants and conditions contained herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as
follows:

     1.   (a) The Lease shall be terminated on January 31,
1997 (the "Termination Date").  Tenant shall cease doing
business in the Premises and vacate the Premises on or
before the Termination Date and as of the Termination Date,
Tenant shall surrender the possession of the Premises to
Landlord and relinquish any claim of a right of possession
of said Premises as if the Termination Date were originally
set forth in the Lease as the termination of the term
therein and the parties hereto agree that the Lease shall be
terminated and canceled as of the Termination Date.  Tenant,
as of the Termination Date, relinquishes and waives any
right of redemption, statutory or otherwise, including but
not limited to such rights of redemption as set forth in MSA
Sec. 504.02.  All rental obligations pursuant to the Lease
(including but not limited to accrued but unpaid year end
adjustments to additional rent charges) shall cease as of
the Termination Date.  Within five (5) business days after
Tenant receives a fully-executed copy of this Agreement, to
make the foregoing binding upon the Landlord, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord's offices (by messenger, overnight mail
or wire transfer) good funds in the amount of Eight Hundred
Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($800,000.00) as a Termination
Fee which shall thereafter release Tenant from all
liabilities arising under the Lease, subject to Tenant's
obligations hereunder.

          (b) Tenant shall make all payments of rent and
other charges due under the Lease for the months of December
1996 and January 1997 on December 1, 1996 and January 1,
1997 respectively.

          (c) Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord
that all real estate taxes due and owing for the calendar
year 1996 have been paid in full.  Together with the January
1, 1997 rent payment, Tenant shall pay an amount equal to
$16,130.00 as a good faith estimate of its prorate share of
real estate taxes for 1997.  There shall be no adjustments
in the event that the actual real estate taxes for 1997 are
different than currently anticipated.

     2.   Tenant agrees to vacate the Premises no later than
the Termination Date.  Tenant shall leave the Premises in
broom clean condition and in the same condition as the
Premises were accepted in at commencement of the Lease,
subject to ordinary wear and tear.  Landlord may conduct an
inspection of the Premises on January 31, 1997 and may, by
written notice to Tenant delivered no later than 5:00 P.M.
on February 7, 1997, reserve any claim that Landlord may
have for Tenant's violation of the foregoing sentence.
Failure of Landlord to deliver said reservation of claim in
writing to Tenant by said date shall be deemed conclusive
evidence that no such claims have been reserved.  Subject to
the foregoing, on the Termination Date.  Landlord shall
accept delivery and surrender of the Premises in "as-is"
condition and agrees that Tenant's obligations under said
Lease are thereafter terminated.

     3.   Subject to Paragraph 11 below, said Lease is
hereby terminated and canceled as of the Termination Date
and Landlord and Tenant shall be mutually released from any
and all further and past liability and obligations
thereunder.  Further, Landlord and Tenant covenant that all
obligations of the part of the other party, including but
not limited to past and/or future rent, all other sums due
or accrued under the Lease have been satisfied as of the
date of this Agreement neither party has any further
liability to the other party as a result of said Lease
Agreement except pursuant to the terms of this Surrender and
Termination Agreement.

     4.   This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns.

     5.   Subject to Paragraph 11 below, Landlord and Tenant
do hereby mutually release and discharge each of the other
and its employees, officers and directors (both past and
present), agents, heirs, successors, assigns, and personal
representatives from all claims, demands, and causes of
action of every kind, nature and character whatsoever,
whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which
each of them may have now or hereafter have, or claim to
have against the other, by reason of any act, thing or
matter up to the date of this Agreement.

     6.   The parties hereby warrant and represent to each
other that there are no other parties who have any interest
in the Lease, the rent nor any other charges payable
thereunder, nor any interest in the Premises or the building
in which the Demised Premises are located, including any
interest therein as mortgagee, which interest could
otherwise nullify the purpose and intent of this Agreement,
and all such parties with any such interest are either
parties to the Surrender and Termination Agreement, or their
consent to the Surrender and Termination Agreement is not
required under any instrument.

     7.   Other than the Memorandum of Lease dated March 18,
1996 and filed April 18, 1996, Tenant hereby warrants and
represents to Landlord that Tenant has not done or suffered
anything to be done nor will tenant in the future do
anything whereby the Premises or the title thereto have been
or will be encumbered in any way whatsoever, nor has Tenant
caused, permitted, or suffered any such lien or encumbrance
to accrue.

     8.   The parties have read this Agreement and the
mutual release contained therein, and upon the advice of
counsel, they have freely and voluntarily entered into the
Agreement.  If either party commences an action against the
other party arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
from the losing party all reasonable attorney's fees and
costs of suit.

     9.   This Agreement sets forth all terms, conditions,
and understandings between the parties, and there are no
terms, conditions or understandings, either oral or written,
between said parities other than as set forth herein.  No
alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement
shall be binding unless reduced to writing and signed by
each of the parties hereto.

     10.  In the event this document has not been executed
by both Landlord and Tenant (such that each party is in
receipt of at least one (1) original fully-executed
counterpart) on or before November 22, 1996, this Agreement
shall be null and void.

     11.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement Landlord expressly reserves any rights it
may have in connection with:
     (i)  obligations of Tenant under this Agreement,
including but not limited to the obligation to make payments
of rent due on December 1, 1996 and rent and 1/12th of the
estimated real estate taxes for 1997 on January 1, 1997 and
obligations to deliver the Premises in accordance with the
provisions of Paragraph 2 above;

     (ii) obligations of Tenant regarding hazardous
materials in the Lease;

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




      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.
The  Buyer will pay the cost of issuing a Standard  Owners  Title
Insurance Policy in the full amount of the purchase price.  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
     
     
     
     
     
Buyer Initial: /s/ JJZ
Purchase Agreement for Arby's/Mrs. Winners - Smyrna, GA
     
     
     
     
     
     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  shall
     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.("lessee"), dated May 16, 1994, Seller is not  aware  of
     any  leases  of  the Property.  The above  referenced  lease

     as set forth in article 34 of said lease agreement.

     condemnation  proceedings against the Property  or  Seller's

     forth  in  paragraph (b) below, Seller is not aware  of  any

     (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.

     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

     opportunity  to  inspect  the Property  and  such  financial
     information  on the Lessee and Guarantors of  the  Lease  as

     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

     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

     order  of  any  court or other agency of  government  having
     jurisdiction  hereof, or (c) any agreement or instrument  to

     extent  that the same are payable with respect to damage  to
     the  Property, subject to rights of any Tenant of the Entire

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

Made  and  entered into as of the 6th day of Dec,  1996,  by  and
between   John  J.  Zeller  Living  Trust,  (hereinafter   called
"Zeller"),  and  AEI Net Lease Income & Growth  Fund  XX  Limited
Partnership (hereinafter called "Fund XX") (Zeller, 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 68.2790% interest in
and  to, and Zeller 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 Zeller'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 Zeller 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 and  to  execute
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 all present or  future  Co-
Tenants. Only Fund XX may obligate any Co-Tenant 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 Zeller 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





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





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  Zeller  under  this
Agreement, and may pay to itself the amount of Zeller's share  of
any  legitimate expenses of the Premises which are  not  paid  by
Zeller  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 Zeller'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
Lessee  under  terms of any triple net lease agreement  initiated
concurrently with, or subsequent to, this agreement.

Zeller  has  elected to retain, and agrees to annually reimburse,
Fund  XX  in  the  amount of $930 for the  expenses,  direct  and
indirect,  incurred by Fund XX in providing quarterly  accounting
and  distributions  of  Zeller's share  of  net  income  and  for
tracking,  reporting  and assessing the calculation  of  Zeller's
share  of  operating  expenses incurred from the  Premises.  This
invoice  amount shall be pro-rated for partial years  and  Zeller
authorizes Fund XX to deduct such amount from Zeller's  share  of
revenue from the Premises. Zeller may terminate this agreement at
any  time  and collect it's share of rental stream directly  from
the tenant.

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, Zeller shall be entitled
to  receive 19.4022% of all items of income and expense generated
by  the  Premises,  and  Fund XX shall  be  entitled  to  receive
68.2790%  as its share. 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 (including Co-Tenant Margaret  E.  Brust
Irrevocable  Trust which owns an undivided 12.3188%  interest  in
the  property,  Subject to a co-tenancy agreement  with  Fund  XX
dated  September 27, 1996), 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 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  the
expiration  date plus extensions of the net lease  agreement   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 Premises and with the  title  thereto.
Once  any  person, party or entity has ceased to have an interest
in  fee in the Premises, 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.

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




      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 or inspection period. Such  notice  shall  be
deemed effective only upon receipt by Seller.

      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.
The Buyer will pay the cost of






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



issuing  a  Standard  Owners Title Insurance Policy in  the  full
amount of the purchase price.  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  shall
     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.

     (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

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,

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

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
     
     
     
     
Buyer Initial: /s/MB
Purcase Agreement for Arby's/Mrs. Winners - Smyrna, GA
     
     
     
     
     
     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  intends that this transaction qualify as an exchange
under  Section  1031 of the Internal Revenue  Code  of  1986  and
regulations  thereunder.   Buyer  intends  to  perfect  the  1031
exchange by way of a simultaneous exchange of properties  through
concurrently  conditional closing escrows conducted under  escrow
instructions  that  will  qualify the transaction  under  Section
1031.

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

     available   to   it  by  law,  including  terminating   this
     Agreement.
     
     (c)  Funds to be deposited or paid by Buyer must be good and

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

Made  and  entered into as of the 10th day of Jan, 1997,  by  and
between  Mark  A.  Benson, Trustee of the Mark A.  Benson  Living
Trust   dated   12/21/93  (added  to  conform  to  the   facts),,
(hereinafter called "Benson"), and AEI Net Lease Income &  Growth
Fund  XX  Limited  Partnership  (hereinafter  called  "Fund  XX")
(Benson, 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 52.4275% interest in
and  to, and Benson 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 Benson'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 Benson 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 and  to  execute
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 all present or  future  Co-
Tenants. Only Fund XX may obligate any Co-Tenant 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 Benson 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





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






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  Benson  under  this
Agreement, and may pay to itself the amount of Benson's share  of
any  legitimate expenses of the Premises which are  not  paid  by
Benson  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 Benson'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.

Benson  has  elected to retain, and agrees to annually reimburse,
Fund  XX  in  the  amount of $547 for the  expenses,  direct  and
indirect,  incurred by Fund XX in providing quarterly  accounting
and  distributions  of  Benson's share  of  net  income  and  for
tracking,  reporting  and assessing the calculation  of  Benson's
share  of  operating  expenses incurred from the  Premises.  This
invoice  amount shall be pro-rated for partial years  and  Benson
authorizes Fund XX to deduct such amount from Benson's  share  of
revenue  from  the Premises. Benson may terminate this  agreement
respecting  quarterly  accounting  and  distributions   in   this
paragraph  at  any time and seek to collect its share  of  rental
stream directly from the tenant.

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, Benson shall be entitled
to  receive 15.8515% 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-
