                            EXPLANATORY NOTE

     Walden Residential Properties, Inc. (the "Company"), a Maryland
corporation, hereby amends its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the 
period ended September 30, 1997, by reclassifying the convertible 
equity securities formerly reported as a component of stockholders'
equity in its consolidated balance sheets to minority interests and
by restating its statements of income to reflect distributions or
income on such convertible equity securities as income allocated to
minority interests which is deducted in arriving at net income.  The
Company believes these changes are necessary to conform the Company's
financial statements to generally accepted accounting principles.
These changes will have no impact on the financial condition, business
or assets of the Company and do not change the Company's net income
available to common stockholders per share or funds from operations.

              WALDEN RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, INC.
      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          (Unaudited)
                                
1.   INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     Walden Residential Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-
administered and self-managed real estate company operated as a
real estate investment trust, as defined under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended.  As of September 30, 1997, the Company
owned 75 multifamily properties, containing 23,420 apartment units,
primarily in the Southwest and Southeast regions of the United
States.

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Forms
8-K, as amended, filed August 7, 1997, October 16, 1997 and
October 31, 1997; the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Forms 10-Q, as amended, for the three and
six month periods ended March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1997,
respectively; and the Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended
December 31, 1996, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC").  The accompanying interim unaudited financial
information has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the SEC.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in the annual consolidated financial statements have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC.
Management believes that the disclosures contained in this Form 10-Q
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  In
the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company
and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 1997 and the consolidated
results of their operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 and their cash flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, have been included.  The consolidated 
results  of  operations  for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
year.

     In the first quarter of 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share" and No. 129,
"Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure", both of which
will be effective for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31,
1997.  In the second quarter of 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," both of
which are effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997. 
These statements are either not applicable or are not expected to
have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

     Effective July 1, 1996, the Company revised its method of
accounting to capitalize the cost of replacement carpets on a
prospective basis.  The Company believes this accounting policy
change is preferable because it is consistent with policies
currently being used by the majority of the largest publicly traded
apartment real estate investment trusts and provides a better
matching of expenses with the related benefit of the expenditures.

     Following is pro forma information for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as if the revised capitalization policy were in
effect as of January 1, 1996 (pro forma information for the three 
months ended September 30, 1996 is not provided as the revised
capitalization policy was put into effect on July 1, 1996):

2.   ACQUISITIONS

     On July 30, 1997, the Company purchased a 232-unit apartment
property located near Nashville, Tennessee for approximately $9.5
million.  The Company assumed a $6.9 million bond financed
mortgage, with the remainder of the acquisition funded from a
borrowing under the Company's credit facility.  In connection with
the assumption of the mortgage loan, the Company executed a letter
of credit for $7.1 million as additional collateral for the loan.

3.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND MINORITY INTERESTS (As Restated)

     Minority Interests
     ------------------
     The Company has certain limited partnership interests that are
exchangeable for an aggregate of 810,128 shares of the Company's
common stock at the option of the interest holders.  Prior to
exchange, the holders of the limited partnership interests will be
entitled to receive quarterly distributions equal to the greater of
the Company's actual distributions on 810,128 shares of common
stock, or $369,000 in the aggregate ($391,000 was accrued as of
September 30, 1997).  These securities have been recorded as minority
interests in the accompanying balance sheets.

     In conjunction with an apartment acquisition in April 1997,
the Company issued $1.1 million of limited partnership interests
which are convertible into 44,379 shares of the Company's common
stock.  Prior to conversion, the holders of the limited partnership
interests will be entitled to receive quarterly distributions on
the equivalent of 44,379 shares of common stock if and when
declared and paid ($17,000 was declared and paid during the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1997).  These securities have
been recorded as minority interests in the accompanying balance
sheets.

     Restricted Stock
     ----------------
     In February 1997, the Company adopted a Long-Term Incentive
Plan to attract and retain individuals to serve as directors,
officers and employees of the Company.  Pursuant to this plan, the
Company issued 107,500 restricted shares of common stock
("Restricted Stock") in February 1997 for $.01 per share to its
non-employee directors, four executive officers and certain other
employees.  As of September 30, 1997, 10,000 shares of Restricted
Stock were canceled upon the departure of one of the executive
officers. The shares issued to the non-employee directors vest
ratably over a three-year period; while the shares issued to the
executive officers and other employees vest over a ten-year period,
with 40% vesting after the fourth anniversary and 10% vesting
annually thereafter.  Deferred compensation related to the
Restricted Stock was computed based upon the market value of the
shares at the date of issuance less the amount paid for the shares. 
This deferred compensation is being amortized over the respective
vesting periods.  The unamortized amount as of September 30, 1997
was $2,391,000.

     Common Stock Repurchases
     ------------------------
     For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company has
repurchased and retired 278,500 shares of its common stock at an
aggregate cost of $6,666,000.
 
4.   NET INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK (As Restated)

     Net income per share of common stock has been computed by
dividing net income available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalent
shares, if material, outstanding.   Net income available to common
stockholders is net income less the distributions on preferred stock. 
Common stock equivalents include the weighted average number of
assumed equivalent shares outstanding from stock options, if material
and dilutive.  Fully diluted net income per share of common stock is
not materially dilutive and is not presented.

     SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which is effective for
periods ending after December 15, 1997, requires that companies
disclose basic earnings per share using only the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during a period.  Currently
common stock equivalents are included in this computation if they
are material.  Fully diluted earnings per share will continue to be
calculated in a manner similar to the current calculation. 
Compliance with SFAS No. 128 will require no change to the
Company's earnings per share for the periods presented.

5.   PRO FORMA STATEMENTS OF INCOME (As Restated)

     The  following unaudited condensed pro forma  information for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 was prepared from
the financial statements of the Company by adjusting for the effect
of all public offerings and property acquisitions and dispositions
through September 30, 1997, including debt used to finance acquisitions
or repaid from proceeds of dispositions, as if all of these
transactions had occurred on January 1, 1996.  In addition, the
affect of the acquisition of Drever Partners, Inc. and affiliates
("Drever") which was consummated on October 1, 1997, (see Note 7) has
been included.  The current carpet capitalization policy is assumed
to be in place for all properties acquired during the periods.  The
following information is not necessarily indicative of what the
performance would have been had the Company owned these properties
for the entire period, nor does it purport to represent future
results of operations of the Company.  (In thousands, except per
share information.)

6.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     As of September 30, 1997, the Company had executed contracts
to acquire two apartment properties containing 472 units which were
acquired during October and November 1997 (see Note 7).  In
connection with such contracts, the Company deposited $300,000 of
earnest money.

     On November 7, 1997, the Company executed a contract to
acquire two apartment properties located in Tampa, Florida,
containing 376 units for a total acquisition cost of approximately
$15.8 million.  In connection therewith, the Company deposited
$150,000 of earnest money.  The property acquisitions are subject
to the completion of normal due diligence procedures and there is
no assurance the Company will purchase such properties.

7.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On October 1, 1997, the Company acquired the assets and
business of Drever through an acquisition approved by the Company's
stockholders, the limited partners of each of the 18 limited
partnerships of Drever and Drever's shareholders in September 1997.
The Drever organization and all 79 Drever apartment properties, containing
18,118 units located in Texas, Arizona, Georgia and California,
were acquired by a partnership indirectly wholly-owned by the
Company.  The transaction value is approximately $685 million,
consisting of $303 million in common and preferred limited
partnership units which are convertible into common stock and
preferred stock with detachable warrants, $95 million in cash, and
$287 million of assumed debt.

     On October 1, 1997, the Company obtained a $110 million
unsecured bridge loan that was used to pay off several of the
mortgages that were assumed in the Drever acquisition.  The
unsecured bridge loan matures December 15, 1997, can be extended to
December 30, 1997, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.375% for a
total rate of 7.0625% as of October 1, 1997.

     On October 2, 1997, the Company sold a 392-unit apartment
property located in Dallas, Texas for approximately $9.1 million,
resulting in a gain of approximately $2.1 million and an
extraordinary loss on the early extinguishment of the mortgage loan
of $0.4 million, which represents prepayment penalties and the
write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.

     On October 3, 1997, the Company purchased a 216-unit apartment
property located near Fort Worth, Texas for approximately $6.6
million.  The Company financed the acquisition from a borrowing
under the Company's credit facility.

     On November 3, 1997, the Company purchased a 256-unit
apartment property located in Tampa, Florida for approximately
$10.0 million.  The Company financed the acquisition from a
borrowing under the Company's credit facility.

     On November 6, 1997, the Company declared distributions of
$0.4825 per share of common stock, $0.5725 per share of convertible
preferred stock and $0.575 per share of senior preferred stock, all
of which are payable on December 3, 1997 to stockholders of record
on November 17, 1997.

8.   RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The Company has revised its financial statements for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1996 and for the fiscal quarters ended
March 31, 1997, June 30, 1997, and September 30, 1997, by
reclassifying the convertible equity securities formerly reported
as a component of stockholders' equity in its consolidated balance
sheets to minority interests and by restating its statements of
income to reflect distributions or income on such convertible
equity securities as income allocated to minority interests which
is deducted in arriving at net income.  The Company believes these
changes are necessary to conform the Company's financial statements
to generally accepted accounting principles.  These changes will
have no impact on the financial condition, business or assets of 
the Company and do not change the Company's net income available
to common stockholders per share.



Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview
- --------

     This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are
intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby.  These
statements include the plans and objectives of management for
future operations, including plans and objectives relating to
capital expenditures and rehabilitation costs on the Properties. 
The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current
expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. 
Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with
respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and
market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are
difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are
beyond the control of the Company.  Although the Company believes
that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and,
therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
statements included in the Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate.  In
light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-
looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such
information should not be regarded as a representation by the
Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the
Company will be achieved.

     The Company is currently reviewing its computer systems in
order to evaluate necessary modifications for the year 2000.  The
Company does not currently anticipate that it will incur material
expenditures to complete any such modifications.

     Effective July 1, 1997, the Company began presenting weighted
average occupancy percentages for its properties as physical occupancy
rather than economic occupancy.  This Form 10-Q reflects weighted
average physical occupancy percentages which have been computed
by dividing the properties' (1) gross potential rental income less 
vacancy charges by (2) gross potential rental income.

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
the "Supplemental Financial and Operating Data" and all of the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included
elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.  Such financial statements and
information have been prepared to reflect the historical condensed
consolidated operations of the Company for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the condensed
consolidated balance sheet data of the Company as of September 30,
1997 and December 31, 1996.

     The changes in revenues and expenses related to property
operations during the three and nine months ended September 30,
1997 and 1996 are primarily the result of the increased number of
units owned due to acquisitions of additional multifamily
properties by the Company.  Where appropriate, comparisons are made
on a dollars-per-weighted-average-unit basis in order to adjust for
changes in the number of units owned during each period.

     The Company has revised its financial statements for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1996 and for the fiscal quarters ended
March 31, 1997, June 30, 1997, and September 30, 1997, by 
reclassifying the convertible equity securities formerly reported
as a component of stockholders' equity in its consolidated balance
sheets to minority interests and by restating its statements of
income to reflect distributions or income on such convertible
equity securities as income allocated to minority interests which
is deducted in arriving at net income.  The Company believes these
changes are necessary to conform the Company's financial statements
to generally accepted accounting principles.  These changes will
have no impact on the financial condition, business or assets of the
Company and do not change the Company's net income available to
common stockholders per share or funds from operations.

     The following financial and operating data (see Page 13) is
provided as supplemental information to all financial statements
included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.  Such supplemental
information is unaudited with the exception of the balance sheet
data as of December 31, 1996.

(1) Consists of property operating and maintenance and real estate tax
    expenses.



     Interest income increased $95,000, or 28.9%, for the third
quarter of 1997 from $329,000 for the third quarter of 1996 to
$424,000 for the third quarter of 1997.  The increase was primarily
due to interest received on a $3.8 million note receivable that was
issued in July 1997 and repaid in October 1997.  Interest income
increased $225,000 for the first nine months of 1997, or 21.5%,
from $1,048,000 for the first nine months of 1996 to $1,273,000 for
the first nine months of 1997.  Combined with the interest from the
note receivable in the third quarter of 1997, the remaining increase was
primarily due to increased average cash balances during the first quarter of
1997 as compared to the first quarter of 1996.  

     Other income of $44,000 for the third quarter of 1996 and
$246,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was
attributable to income from WDN Management Company, which was
merged into the Company and dissolved effective December 31, 1996.

     General and administrative expenses increased $427,000, or
32.9%, for the third quarter of 1997 from $1,296,000 for the third
quarter of 1996 to $1,723,000 for the third quarter of 1997.  This
represented a per unit increase of $22, or 8.1%, on an annualized
basis.  General and administrative expenses increased $1,415,000
for the first nine months of 1997, or 38.2%, from $3,702,000 for
the first nine months of 1996 to $5,117,000 for the first nine
months of 1997.  This represents a per unit increase of $25, or
9.0%, on an annualized basis.  The increases in general and
administrative expenses were the result of adding corporate
personnel and higher compensation costs and professional fees, as
a result of the increased number of units over the 1996 level, as
well as increased costs due to the increased number of stockholders
(quarterly mailings to stockholders, transfer services, etc.), and
a one-time severance charge relating to the departure of an
executive of the Company during the second quarter of 1997.

     Interest expense increased $520,000, or 10.2%, for the third
quarter of 1997 from $5,123,000 for the third quarter of 1996 to
$5,643,000 for the third quarter of 1997.  Interest expense
increased $954,000 for the first nine months of 1997, or 6.4%, from
$14,810,000 for the first nine months of 1996 to $15,764,000 for
the first nine months of 1997.  The increases were primarily due to
debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of additional
properties and partially due to a slight increase in the weighted
average interest rate on debt between periods.

     Depreciation expense increased $2,074,000, or 41.5%, for the
third quarter of 1997 from $4,997,000 for the third quarter of 1996
to $7,071,000 for the third quarter of 1997.  Depreciation
increased $5,930,000, or 41.6%, for the first nine months of 1997
from $14,262,000 for the first nine months of 1996 to $20,192,000
for the first nine months of 1997.  The increases were due to
depreciation on additional properties acquired and cost of
renovations to existing properties.

     Extraordinary loss on debt extinguishment of $1,072,000
recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 1996, resulted from
the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs due to the
refinancing of the Company's credit facility in February 1996
($488,000), the refinancing of $22 million of variable rate tax-
exempt debt in May 1996 ($96,000) and the repayment of the debt on
a property sold in September 1996 ($488,000).

     Gain on disposition of real property of $724,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 and $1,996,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 resulted from a gain on the sale of a
384-unit apartment property located in Wichita, Kansas, in April
1996; the sale of a 304-unit apartment property, located in Corpus
Christi, Texas, in August 1996 and a 144-unit apartment property,
located in Stone Mountain, Georgia, in September 1996.  These
dispositions generated approximately $22.9 million of net proceeds
which were used to purchase additional properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The Company's principal demands for liquidity are
distributions to its stockholders, property operating and
maintenance costs, capital improvements to its properties,
acquisitions of properties, interest on indebtedness and debt
repayments.

     During the first nine months of 1997, cash flows from
operating activities were $32.4 million and the Company received
proceeds from stock offerings of $25.7 million, including $20.8
million from its dividend reinvestment plan.  These funds, in
addition to $40.0 million of net borrowings on the Company's credit
facility,  were used during the period to pay for a portion of the
acquisition of eight apartment properties (containing 2,013 units)
for $55.0 million, the distributions to stockholders and minority
interest holders of $35.6 million, the capital improvements to
properties of $23.2 million, the purchase of the Company's common
stock for $6.7 million, and principal repayments of $2.5 million.
As a result, the Company had a net decrease in cash of $25.0 million.

     The Company has a $150 million unsecured credit facility (the
"Credit Facility"), which expires in February 1999.  The Credit
Facility has been used to finance property acquisitions, including
capital improvements, and to meet short-term liquidity
requirements.  The availability of funds to the Company under the
Credit Facility is subject, however, to certain borrowing base and
other customary covenants.

     Net cash provided by operating activities increased $6.4
million for the first nine months of 1997 compared to the same
period in 1996, primarily due to an increase in property operating
income due to the increased number of units owned and partially
offset by an increase in rent receivables, prepaids and other
assets.

     Net cash used in investing activities decreased $17.1 million
for the first nine months of 1997 compared to the same period in
1996, primarily due to a $53.7 million reduction in the acquisition
of real estate assets over the same period in 1996.  There were
2,013 units purchased during the first nine months of 1997 compared
to 3,580 units during the comparable period of 1996.  The decrease
in cash used was partially offset by an increase in capital
improvements of $17.9 million during the first nine months of 1997
compared to the same period in 1996.  The capital improvement
increase during the first nine months of 1997 consisted
of non-recurring capital expenditures on "same store" properties
(i.e., construction of covered carports, installation of access
gates with perimeter fencing, energy efficient exterior lighting
and water savers and the reconstruction of balconies and exterior
stairwells) as well as rehabilitation costs on acquisition properties.
Also, during the nine month period in 1996, the Company received
$18.7 million in proceeds from the disposition of an apartment property.

     Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $46.5
million for the first nine months of 1997 compared to the same
period in 1996, primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from stock
issuances of $54.0 million and an increase in distributions of
$13.1 million.  This decrease was partially offset by an increase
in net borrowings of $10.7 million, the purchase of $4.0 million of
minority interest securities and the payment of $3.5 million in
financing costs during the first nine months of 1996.  Also during
the first nine months of 1996, debt reductions were $2.0 million
more than during the comparable period in 1997. 

     The Company intends to meet its short-term liquidity
requirements, including capital expenditures related to maintenance
and improvements of its properties, through cash flow provided by
operations and when necessary will utilize unused portions of its
Credit Facility to meet working capital needs.  Historically, the
Company considers its cash provided by operating activities to be
adequate to meet both its operating requirements and distribution
obligations.  The Company has expended $12.0 million and $11.2
million for capital expenditures, including non-recurring items,
and acquisition rehabilitation costs, respectively during the first
nine months of 1997.  Capital expenditures and acquisition rehabilitation
costs are anticipated to be approximately $7.7 million and $5.9 million,
respectively, for the remainder of 1997.

     Long-term liquidity requirements, such as refinancing mortgage
indebtedness and property acquisitions, including capital
improvements on property acquisitions, is dependent on the
Company's ability to obtain long-term borrowings, both secured and
unsecured, and to issue debt or equity securities.

     As of September 30, 1997, the Company had outstanding
indebtedness in the aggregate principal amount of $303.3 million,
consisting of fixed rate debt of $212.2 million and variable rate
debt of $91.1 million.  The weighted average interest rate on the
Company's outstanding indebtedness at September 30, 1997 was
approximately 7.6%.

Funds from Operations
- ---------------------

     Management of the Company generally considers funds from
operations ("FFO") an appropriate measure of the performance of an
equity real estate investment trust.  FFO is defined as income
before income allocated to minority interests (determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding
gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property,
plus depreciation of real estate assets.  The Company believes that
in order to facilitate a clear understanding of its operating
results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as
presented herein.  FFO does not represent cash generated from
operating, investing and financing activities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily
indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and cash distributions.
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income
(determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles) as an indication of the Company's performance or as an
alternative to cash flow (determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles) as a measure of liquidity.

     Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted the modified
definition of FFO as recommended by the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts; however, the Company's FFO is not
necessarily comparable to similar entitled items reported by other
REITs.  FFO for the three months and nine months ended September
30, 1997 and 1996 (as restated to conform to the new definition of
FFO) are as follows (unaudited):

Inflation
- ---------

     The Company leases apartments under lease terms generally
ranging from six to twelve months.  Management believes that such
short-term lease contracts lessen the impact of inflation on the
cost of property operations, as well as allow for the adjustment of
rental rates to market levels as leases expire.

     WHEREAS, upon and subject to the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, the Seller desires to sell the Project to the Purchaser
and the Purchaser desires to purchase the Project from the Seller;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants,
agreements and representations contained herein, the Purchaser and
the Seller hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Agreement shall be controlling.

ARTICLE II                       
              INSPECTION AND DOCUMENT REVIEW PERIODS

     Section 2.01.  Inspection Period.  During the period (the
"Inspection Period") beginning as authorized in the Indemnity
Letter and ending at 12:00 p.m. Chicago time July 25, 1997 (the
"Outside Date"), the Seller shall allow the Purchaser and its
representatives, agents and contractors, during ordinary business
hours, upon twenty-four (24) hours prior telephonic notice to the
Seller (which notice shall include identification of the people who
will be making the inspection, what will be inspected and for what
purpose the inspection will be made), to make such reasonable
inspections of the Project as the Purchaser may request, and shall
assure reasonable access to the Project, subject to leases thereof
and the tenants' quiet enjoyment of the apartment units of the
Project, in connection with such inspections.

     During the Inspection Period, and subject to the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall be permitted to
do the following (all at the Purchaser's sole cost and expense):

          (a)  Perform a physical inspection of the Project,
     including but not limited to inspection of the roofs, building
     structures, mechanical systems, plumbing systems, electrical
     systems, utilities, drainage system and site improvements and
     to perform soil tests and an environmental audit of the
     Project.  The Purchaser shall be permitted to engage such
     professional engineers, surveyors and consultants as the
     Purchaser may deem appropriate to conduct such inspections.

          (b)  Review all of the Seller's books and records
     relating to the Project, including but not limited to
     operating statements relating to the Project, which have been
     certified by the Seller's property manager, RREEF Management
     Company, in Chicago, Illinois (the "Project Manager") to be
     true and correct in all material respects.

          (c)  Review all Service Contracts (as hereinafter
     defined) currently in effect for the Project.

          (d)  Review the Project's operations, competitive market,
     and position within its general market and particular sub-
     market.  In order to assist the Purchaser in performing such
     review, the Seller agrees to make the Project's records
     available to the Purchaser either at the project or at the
     office of the Project Manager, wherever the Seller customarily
     keeps such records.

          (e)  Have prepared an appraisal or analysis of the
     Project which will verify, among other things, the historical
     operating numbers for the Project and its competitive market.

          (f)  Review any of the following which are in possession
     of the Seller: the tenant leases of the Project, tenant
     eligibility and income verification certificates and
     supporting materials and the continuing program compliance
     certificates relating to the low or moderate income tenant
     set-aside covenants to which the Project is subject.

     Unless the Seller notifies the Purchaser otherwise, in which
event the Seller agrees to use reasonably diligent efforts to make
such items available for review by the Purchaser, the items
described in Subsection 2.01 (b) above are located at the office of
the Project Manager, and the items described in Subsections 2.01
(c) and 2.01 (f) are located at the Project.

     The Purchaser shall conduct the inspections and reviews and
approve the Project and the other contingencies referenced in this
Section 2.01 on or before the Outside Date.  If the Purchaser does
not approve the Project and other contingencies described in this
Section 2.01, the Purchaser must notify the Seller in writing of
its disapproval on or before 12:00 p.m. Chicago time on the Outside
Date.  Failure to deliver to the Seller such notice in writing
prior to the end of such Inspection Period shall be deemed a waiver
of the Purchaser's right to terminate its obligations under this
Agreement to purchase the Project due to its disapproval of the
Project or the other contingencies described in this Section 2.01.

     In the event the transaction contemplated herein does not
close, including without limitation if the obligation of the
Purchaser to purchase or the obligations of the Seller to sell the
Project is terminated for any reason, the Purchaser shall promptly
deliver to the Seller (i) true, correct and complete copies of all
appraisals, environmental audits and other written reports which
the Purchaser has commissioned or otherwise obtained with respect
to the Project and (ii) all documents and other showings,
including, without limitation, the hereinafter defined Due
Diligence Items and the hereinafter defined Financing Documents,
delivered by the Seller or the Seller's agents or attorney to the
Purchaser.  If the Purchaser sends notice within such Inspection
Period of its disapproval of the Project as described hereinabove,
upon the delivery of the items described in (i) and (ii) above, the
Purchaser will be entitled to receive the Earnest Money Deposit,
subject, however, to the terms and provisions of Section 2.03(c)
hereof.

     Section 2.02.  Deliveries by Seller.  The Seller shall deliver
to (or make available to with respect to items(b), (k), and (l))
the Purchaser within five (5) business days of the date of this
Agreement the following items, if any, which are in the possession
of the Seller:

          (a)  A copy of the Seller's title insurance policy for
     the Project;

          (b)  Copies of any plans and specifications for the
     Project;

          (c)  Copies of any "as-built" surveys of the Project;

          (d)  A copy of the current rent roll for the Project,
     which has been certified by the Project Manager to the best of
     its knowledge to be true and correct in all material respects.

          (e)  Copies of the most recent real estate and personal
     property tax bills for the Project and any subsequent notices
     of reassessment;

          (f)  A list of all property employees of the Project
     Manager, if any, and their job titles and descriptions, their
     present salaries and wages, benefits and terms of their
     employment;

          (g)  Copies of the Project's monthly operating statements
     for the past two (2) years, which have been certified by the
     Project Manager to the best of its knowledge to be true and
     correct in all material respects;

          (h)  A current schedule of any tenant security deposits
     and confirmation by the Seller that such tenant security
     deposits are in the Seller's possession;

          (i)  Copies of all operating and maintenance agreements
     and service contracts, including but not limited to trash,
     grounds maintenance, advertising, pest control or cable
     television agreements or easements in effect at the Property
     and paid by the Seller (collectively, the "Service
     Contracts");

          (j)  A copy of the most recent environmental report of
     the Project;

          (k)  Copies of the pool license and business license
     currently in effect for the Project; and

          (l)  A list of all utility accounts serving the Project,
     designating which are house metered, and copies of bills for
     each house metered account for the preceding five (5) month
     period.

     In addition to the items listed in Sections 2.02(a) through
(l) above (herein collectively referred to as the "Due Diligence
Items"), the Seller will direct the Trustee under the Indenture
pursuant to which the Bonds (as hereinafter described) were issued
to allow the Purchaser to review, at the office of the Trustee
and/or Alternate Management Resource, Inc. d/b/a Kauffman
Associates (the "Monitoring Agent"), during the Inspection Period,
the filings, to the extent they are available, made by the Seller
or the previous owner of the Project which are required under the
financing documents relating to the Bonds; provided that the
Purchaser understands and agrees that failure of the Trustee and/or
the Monitoring Agent to cooperate with these requests shall not be
a default by the Seller under this Agreement.

     The Purchaser shall review and approve the Due Diligence Items
and other information referenced in this Section 2.02 within the
Inspection Period.  If the Purchaser does not approve such Due
Diligence Items and other information described in this Section
2.02 within the Inspection Period, the Purchaser must notify the
Seller in writing of its disapproval on or before 12:00 p.m.
Chicago Time on the Outside Date.  Failure to provide the Seller
such notice in writing prior to the end of the Inspection Period
shall be deemed a waiver of the Purchaser's right to terminate its
obligations to purchase the Project under this Agreement due to the
Purchaser's disapproval of the Due Diligence Items described in
this Section 2.02. If the Purchaser sends notice within the
Inspection Period of its disapproval of the Due Diligence Items,
the Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the Seller (i) true,
correct and complete copies of all appraisals, environmental audits
and other written reports which the Purchaser commissioned or
otherwise obtained with respect to the Project and the hereinafter
defined Financing Documents and (ii) all documents and other
showings, including, without limitation, the Due Diligence Items,
delivered by the Seller or the Seller's agents or attorney upon
receipt of the items described in (i) and (ii) above, the Purchaser
shall be entitled to receive the Earnest Money Deposit, subject,
however, to the terms and provisions of Section 2.03(c) hereof.

     Section 2.03.   Financing Documents; Letter of Credit.  

          (a)  The Seller has delivered to the Purchaser copies of
     all documents relating to the financing of the Project in the
     possession of the Seller which are listed on Exhibit C (the
     "Financing Documents").  Within the Inspection Period the
     Purchaser shall review and approve such Financing Documents
     and the Purchaser shall obtain the approval of The Industrial
     Development Board of the City of Hendersonville, Tennessee
     (the "Issuer") and The Bank of New York, as successor trustee
     (the "Trustee") under the Trust Indenture dated as of January
     1, 1993 (the "Indenture") between the Issuer and the Trustee,
     pursuant to which the Issuer issued its Multi-family Housing
     Revenue Refunding Bonds (Windsor Park Project) in the original
     aggregate principal amount of $6,870,000 (the "Bonds"), to the
     transfer of the Project to the Purchaser.  The Seller will use
     its best efforts to cooperate with the Purchaser in obtaining
     the required approvals by the Issuer and the Trustee.  In
     connection with the approvals described in this Section 2.03,
     the Seller and Continental Casualty Company (the "Surety")
     shall receive opinions of bond counsel and opinions of counsel
     for the Purchaser for delivery on the Closing Date, obtained
     at the sole cost and expense of the Purchaser, required by the
     Regulatory Agreement (as defined on Exhibit C) and additional
     opinions of bond counsel that the transfer of the Project to
     the Purchaser will not result in a reissuance of the Bonds
     under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and will
     not cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income
     for purposes of federal income taxation; provided that the
     forms of such opinions shall be subject to the prior approval
     of the Seller and the Surety.  With respect to any of the
     opinions or "forms of opinions" to be provided by the
     Purchaser under this Section 2.03, the Purchaser shall deliver
     the required opinions or "forms of opinions" not less than
     five (5) days prior to the Outside Date, and if the Seller and
     the Surety have not approved or rejected the opinions or the
     "forms of opinions" by the Outside Date, such opinions or
     "forms of opinions" shall be deemed disapproved by the Seller
     and the Surety; provided that any opinions approved or deemed
     approved by the Seller and the Surety shall not be deemed
     approved by the Issuer, the Trustee or any other third party
     entitled to approve such opinions.

          (b)  The Purchaser, at the sole cost and expense of the
     Purchaser, shall deliver to the Surety on or before the
     Outside Date a commitment letter providing for the issuance of
     a letter of credit in favor of the Surety on the Closing Date
     which letter of credit shall be (i) in the amount of
     $6,870,000 together with an amount equal to interest on the
     Bonds from the earlier of the Closing Date or August 1, 1997,
     to but not including February 1, 1998 at the interest rate of
     5.375% per annum, (ii) issued by BankBoston, National
     Association unless such bank's short term credit rating is
     downgraded from A-1 by Standard and Poor's or P-1 by Moody's
     Investors Service or put on "credit-watch", in which event
     such letter of credit shall be issued by an institution
     satisfactory to Surety in its sole discretion (the "Bank"),
     (iii) for a term expiring not less than three (3) days after
     February 2, 1998, and (iv) accompanied by the proposed form of
     the letter of credit, the terms and conditions of which must
     be acceptable to the Surety, in its sole discretion, in all
     respects (the "Letter of Credit").  On August 1, 1997, the
     Surety shall pay a claim in the full amount of interest on the
     Bonds.  Pursuant to the terms of an Escrow Agreement to be
     entered into among the Trustee, the Purchaser, the Seller and
     the Surety, the parties shall and do hereby, agree as follows:
     (1) On or prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on January
     22, 1998 the Trustee shall submit a claim under the Surety
     Bond to the Surety in an amount equal to the aggregate

     accrued interest thereon to but not including February 1, 1998
     (the "Claim Amount"); (2) On or before 11:00 A.M. (New York
     City time) on January 30, 1998, and prior to payment by the
     Surety of a claim under the Surety Bond on February 2, 1998,
     the Purchaser shall have deposited with the Trustee an amount
     equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds, together
     with interest accrued thereon to but not including February 1,
     1998 (the "Reimbursement Funds"); (3) Immediately upon receipt
     by the Trustee of the Reimbursement Funds, the Trustee shall
     provide written notice (the "Trustee Notice") by telecopy to
     the Surety, the Purchaser and the Seller that (i) the Trustee
     has received the Reimbursement Funds and (ii) the Trustee will
     wire transfer the Reimbursement Funds to the Surety on
     February 2, 1998 on or before 1:30 P.M. (New York City time),
     provided the Trustee has received payment from the Surety of
     the Claim Amount (the "Surety Payment"); (4) Upon receipt by
     the Surety of the Trustee Notice the Surety (i) shall promptly
     and by the end of such business day deposit in overnight mail
     the Letter of Credit to the Bank and (ii) shall promptly and
     by the end of such business day deliver to Chicago Title
     Insurance Company an executed and notarized release of any and
     all liens held by the Surety with respect to the Project (the
     "Release"); (5) On or prior to 1:00 P.M. on February 2, 1998,
     the Surety shall pay to the Trustee the Surety Payment; (6) In
     the event the Purchaser has not delivered payment to the
     Trustee of the Reimbursement Funds, by 11:00 A.M. (New York
     City time) on January 30, 1998 and the Trustee has filed a
     claim under the Surety Bond with the Surety for payment on
     February 2, 1998 of the Claim Amount, the Surety shall be
     entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit and use the
     proceeds of the Letter of Credit to immediately reimburse the
     Surety for the Surety Payment; (7) In the event the Surety
     draws against the Letter of Credit pursuant to (6) above,
     immediately upon receipt on February 2, 1998 by the Surety of
     moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit, the Surety shall
     deliver the Release to Chicago Title insurance Company; (8)
     Provided the Trustee has received the Surety Payment, the
     Trustee shall return the Surety Bond marked "cancelled and
     discharged" to the Surety on February 2, 1998; (9) On February
     2, 1998, the Trustee shall (i) pay the principal of and
     interest on all of the Bonds outstanding with amounts drawn

     of the Purchaser) as provided in the Indenture and shall
     (ii) wire to the Surety, in accordance with wire instructions
     from the Surety, an amount equal to the Reimbursement Funds;
     and (10) The Trustee shall (i) instruct Chicago Title
     Insurance Company in writing by telecopy to record the Release
     and shall (ii) register the Bonds in the name of the Purchaser

of all amounts due to the Surety under the Financing Documents in
respect of, and to indemnify, defend and hold the Surety harmless
from any loss, cost, damage, liability or expense arising from or
in connection with, a claim being made under the Surety Bond which
is not immediately reimbursed from Eligible Moneys or then
available to be drawn under the Letter of Credit or which is not
paid to the Surety by the Bank immediately upon drawing on the
Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, any losses, costs,
damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys' fees and
expenses) suffered or incurred by the Surety in enforcing its
rights and remedies in respect of the Bonds, the Surety Bond, the
Letter of Credit and this Agreement.

          (c)  On or before the end of the Inspection Period
     described in Section 2.03(a) above, if (i) the Purchaser has
     not approved the Financing Documents, or (ii) the Purchaser
     has not received the approvals or the acknowledgments from the
     Issuer or the Trustee referenced in Section 2.03(a) above, or

     the Letter of Credit, then the Purchaser may terminate its
     obligation to purchase the Project by written notice to the
     Seller, delivered not later than 12:00 p.m. Chicago time on
     the Outside Date.  Failure of the Seller to deliver an
     instrument in writing affirmatively acknowledging that the
     conditions specified in this Section 2.03(c) have been
     satisfied or waived by the Seller shall be deemed to
     constitute delivery by the Seller of such a termination notice
     (a notice of termination from the Purchaser under this
     Section 2.03(c) or a notice of disapproval from the Purchaser
     under Section 2.01 or Section 2.02 is hereinafter referred to
     as a "Termination Notice").  Failure of the Purchaser to
     provide a Termination Notice within the time prescribed shall
     be deemed a waiver by the Purchaser of the right to terminate
     its obligations to purchase the Project hereunder by reason of
     any of the matters specified in Section 2.01 or 2.02 hereof or
     in this Section 2.03. In the event a Termination Notice by
     either the Purchaser or the Seller is given or deemed given,
     upon receipt by the Seller of all copies of the results of the
     inspections, materials and documents (including copies of all
     Due Diligence Items and all Financing Documents) relating to
     the Project previously delivered to the Purchaser or its
     agents or attorneys, and copies of all inspections and reports
     ordered or commissioned by the Purchaser or its agents or
     attorneys, and payment by the Purchaser of all of the costs
     and expenses to third parties hired, commissioned or retained
     by the Purchaser or its agents or attorneys, the Seller will
     direct the escrowee to return the Earnest Money Deposit to the
     Purchaser; provided that if the Purchaser has a dispute with
     any such third parties over the amount of compensation to be
     id to such third parties, the Purchaser will not be entitled
     to receive all of the Earnest Money Deposit (it being agreed
     that an amount equal to 150% of the aggregate of the highest
     amounts claimed to be owed shall be retained by the escrowee
     for the benefit of the Seller pending resolution of such
     dispute(s)) until the Purchaser has resolved such dispute and
     paid such third party in full; and provided further that,
     notwithstanding the above provisions, in any event all third
     parties shall be paid in full (which payment may be made (at
     the Seller's sole discretion) from the portion of the Earnest
     Money Deposit retained by the escrowee in connection with such
     dispute) on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Seller is
     notified or has knowledge that any such third party has
     commenced a foreclosure action against all or a portion of the
     Project or (ii) ninety (90) days from the end of the
     Inspection Period, and any balance remaining after all such
     disputes are settled in full and all costs and expenses
     incurred by the Seller in connection therewith are paid in
     full shall be returned to the Purchaser.

          (d)  If a Termination Notice is not delivered by the
     Purchaser or the Seller as provided in Section 2.01 or 2.02
     hereof or in this Section 2.03, the Purchaser shall then be
     obligated to perform all other requirements under this
     Agreement relating to the Purchaser's purchase of the Project.

          (e)  The aggregate principal amount of Bonds which will
     be outstanding on August 1, 1997, the anticipated date for
     closing the purchase of the Project by the Purchaser (the
     "Closing Date") is $6,870,000.  It is the understanding and
     intent of the parties that (I) the Purchase Price for the
     Project will be as set forth in Section 3.01 hereof and (ii)
     the Purchaser will pay the portion of the Purchase Price equal
     to the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds on the
     Closing Date by assuming the indebtedness of the Seller under
     the Financing Documents to pay, among other things, the
     outstanding principal amount of the Bonds, with the balance of
     the Purchase Price (subject to any prorations or adjustments
     resulting in credits to the Purchaser or the Seller, as
     applicable) to be paid in cash by the Purchaser.  Any funds in
     the Interest Account in the Revenue Fund under the Indenture
     have been or will be invested prior to the Closing, at the
     sole discretion of the Seller, in "Eligible Investments" as
     defined in the Indenture, to mature on or before February 1,
     1998 (the "Investments") in anticipation of the Purchaser's or
     its designee's purchase of the Bonds or other payment in full
     of the Bonds on that date to secure the release and discharge
     of the Surety Bond issued by the Surety in respect of the
     Bonds.

     Section 2.04.  Costs.  All of its costs and expenses in
obtaining, receiving and returning all of the reports, materials,
documents and other items described in Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03
hereof, including, without limitation, the duplication of the Due
Diligence Items and the Financing Documents, and in obtaining the
consent of the Issuer and the Trustee to the transfer of the
Project and any required opinions of counsel, shall be paid by the
Purchaser.

     Section 2.05.  Indemnification.  The Purchaser hereby
indemnifies, agrees to defend, and hold the Seller, the Project
Manager, the Surety, and their respective successors, assigns,
affiliates, officers, employees, agents and shareholders, harmless
from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including attorneys' fees), incurred as a result of or
arising in whole or in part from, directly or indirectly, or as a
consequence of, or in any way connected with any actions or
omissions of the Purchaser or its agents, officers, contractors or
employees, including, without limitation, the Purchaser's
inspection of the Project; provided, however, that the Purchaser
shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless such
parties if such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
(including attorneys' fees) are a result of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Seller, the Project Manager and the
Surety.  If the Closing does not occur, including without
limitation if the obligation of the Purchaser to purchase or the
Seller to sell the Project is terminated for any reason, the
Purchaser agrees to promptly restore or repair any damage to the
Project caused by the Purchaser, or its agents, contractors,
employees or officers.

     Section 2.06.  Insurance.  Prior to the commencement of the
Inspection Period, the Purchaser shall provide the Seller with
evidence of general public liability insurance and property
insurance in coverages and from insurers satisfactory in all
respects to the Seller, insuring against, inter alia, death, bodily
injury and property damage resulting from the acts of the Purchaser
and its agents, officers, contractors or employees at the Project. 
The Purchaser's insurance policies described in this Section 2.06
above shall name the Seller, the Surety and the Project Manager as
"additional insureds" thereunder.

     Section 2.07.  Confidentiality. 

          (a)  The Purchaser covenants and agrees that the
     information obtained by the Purchaser or communicated to the
     Purchaser or any of its respective agents, officers,
     contractors or employees in the course of discussions and
     negotiations regarding the sale of the Project (other than the
     Financing Documents) and the terms and provisions of this
     Agreement are confidential and that knowledge by third parties
     of any information (including the terms and provisions of this
     Agreement) provided to, or obtained by, the Purchaser could be
     damaging to the Seller and its business.  For purposes of this
     Agreement, such information (the "Information") includes but
     is not limited to (i) information obtained by or on behalf of
     the Purchaser about the Project whether from the Seller or its
     officers, agents, attorneys or employees or from unrelated
     third parties; (ii) written or oral information concerning or

     agents, title insurers, surveyors, property managers and other
     persons or entities retained by the Purchaser for the sole
     purpose of assisting in the due diligence review of, closing
     upon, or operation or maintenance of the Project, the
     Purchaser covenants and agrees to take all reasonable and
     prudent steps necessary to prevent disclosure of the
     Information to any other third parties or entities.  The
     Purchaser agrees to take reasonable and prudent steps to
     require any such third parties to maintain such
     confidentiality.  The Purchaser also agrees not to disclose
     the Project's rent roll and/or tenant list to any other
     parties except its property manager and lender and except for
     copies of the rent roll (without identification of tenants) to
     appraisers and consultants.  The Purchaser and the Seller
     hereby agree that any default in the Purchaser's covenant set
     forth in the immediately preceding sentence will result in the
     payment of damages by the Purchaser to the Seller of $10,000. 
     The Purchaser also agrees to obtain written confidentiality
     agreements from the entities or persons assisting the
     Purchaser in its due diligence, which confidentiality
     agreements shall (i) be reasonably acceptable to the Seller,
     (ii) be delivered to the Seller, and (iii) be enforceable by
     the Seller.  Further, all Information shall be used by the
     Purchaser solely for the purposes contemplated by this
     Agreement, except that the Purchaser (i) may disclose material
     terms which are required to be disclosed by applicable
     securities laws or as required by any national securities
     exchange on which the Purchaser's common stock may be listed,
     (ii) may disclose any and all information with respect to the
     Project, its operating history or current operations, reports
     or any other information concerning the Project and its
     ownership deemed necessary in accordance with current
     securities disclosure practice in an offering document for
     remarketing or refunding the Bonds, and (iii), if so required,
     may include a copy of this Agreement in its filings with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Seller hereby agrees
     to take all reasonable and prudent steps necessary to prevent
     disclosure to third parties of any non-public information the
     Purchaser provides to the Seller regarding itself and Walden
     Residential Properties, Inc.

          (c)  The Purchaser covenants and agrees with the Seller
     to keep a record of all written Information furnished by or on
     behalf of the Seller including its location.  Further, if the
     purchase and sale of the Project is not consummated, at the
     request of the Seller, the Purchaser shall immediately return
     all Information, in whatever tangible form provided to the
     Purchaser, together with all copies of the Information the
     Purchaser may have made or which is in the possession of the
     Purchaser or its attorneys, officers, agents, employees or
     other representatives.

          (d)  The Purchaser covenants and agrees that a violation
     of the terms of this Section 2.07 may cause irreparable damage
     to the Seller for which monetary damages may not adequately
     compensate the Seller.  Therefore, the Seller shall be
     entitled to equitable relief to enjoin the Purchaser from
     committing any breach hereof and the Purchaser hereby consents
     to the Seller obtaining all injunctive relief as is necessary
     and proper with respect to the breach, attempted breach or
     contemplated breach of any of the terms of this Agreement.

     Section 2.08.  Seller Shall Not Market Project.  The Seller
agrees that it will not market the Project to any other parties,
until the earlier of (i) August 2, 1997 or August 15, 1997 (in the

as (A) a Termination Notice is delivered or (B) the Purchaser shall
default in any of its obligations under this Agreement.

          business (the term "Service Contracts" shall mean and
          include all such amendments and service agreements and
          other contracts entered into by the Seller with respect

     execution nor the delivery of this Agreement or the documents
     contemplated hereby, nor the consummation of the conveyance of
     the Project to the Purchaser, will conflict with or cause a
     breach of any of the terms and conditions of, or constitute a
     default under, any agreement, commitment, note, mortgage,

     by which the Seller is bound.

          (m)  Except as disclosed in writing to the Purchaser

     Assessment - Phase I dated December, 1992 prepared by Delta
     Environmental Consultants, Inc., to the best of the Seller's
     knowledge, no Hazardous Materials are located on or about the
     Project.  To the best of the Seller's knowledge, the Project
     does not contain any underground tanks for the storage or
     disposal of Hazardous Materials.  Further, to the best of the
     Seller's knowledge, (A) the Project previously has not been
     used for the storage, manufacture or disposal of Hazardous
     Materials, and (B) no complaint, order, citation or notice

      For the purposes of this Section 4.01(m):

               (i)  "Hazardous Materials" shall mean any toxic
          materials, hazardous waste or hazardous substance (as
          these terms are defined in the Applicable Environmental
          Laws) and including, without limitation, any asbestos or
          asbestos-related products or materials and any oils,
          petroleum-derived compounds or pesticides, excluding,
          however, materials in reasonable amounts that are
          customarily used in the operation, cleaning and
          maintenance of an apartment complex, and chemicals,
          materials and products stored on site used in the
          operation and maintenance of the pool and of the office.

               (ii) "Applicable Environmental Laws" shall mean any

          Reauthorization and Amendments Act of 1986 ("SARA"), the
          Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
          Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"), and the Resource
          Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 ("RCRA " ), as well
          as any and all other laws, ordinances, rules and/or
          regulations created or imposed by any governmental
          authority having jurisdiction with respect to the
          Project, whether local, state or federal, pertaining to
          environmental regulation, contamination, clean-up or
          disclosure.

          (n)  The Seller will not amend, or reduce the coverage
     under, or cancel, any existing insurance policy without the
     Purchaser's prior written consent, which shall not be
     unreasonably withheld.  In addition to the requirements of
     Section 2.06, the Purchaser, at Closing, shall obtain its own
     insurance coverage.  The Seller has received no notice from
     any insurer of the Project requiring any improvements,
     alterations, additions, correction or other work relating to
     the Project which have not been cured or satisfied.

          (o)  Until Closing, the Seller shall continue the
     operation of the Project in the normal and usual manner and in
     compliance with the Regulatory Agreement, will not remove any
     improvements or Personalty, except for repair or replacement,
     and the Project will be managed, operated, maintained,
     repaired and redecorated in the ordinary course of business
     and in such manner as to maintain the Project in all material
     respects in no less satisfactory condition than exists as of
     the date hereof.  The Purchaser shall have the right to re-
     inspect the Project during the period commencing not earlier
     than five (5) days prior to the Closing and ending on the
     Closing solely for purposes of verifying the maintenance of
     the Project in accordance with this paragraph.

          (p)  During the Inspection Period, the Seller shall
     permit and cooperate in a review by the Purchaser and its
     accountants of such books, records, leasing files, contracts,
     agreements and information relating to the Project that are in
     the Seller's possession or are readily available to the
     Seller, and as may be required by the Purchaser's accountants
     to perform a complete audit of the Project for the twelve (12)
     month period ended December 31, 1996.  The Seller will cause
     its Project Manager, prior to Closing, to deliver a letter to
     the Purchaser's accountants substantially in the form ("Audit
     Letter") attached hereto as Exhibit N.

          (q)  To the best of Seller's knowledge, (i) no Event of
     Default (as such term is used therein) currently exists under
     any of the Financing Documents, and the Seller has received no
     notice from the Trustee or the Issuer of any such Event of
     Default, and (ii) since the Seller became owner of the
     Project, the Seller has complied with all material terms of
     the Regulatory Agreement relating to the federal exemption of
     interest on the Bonds.

          (r)  Other than rental units which have been vacated
     within five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date (which
     the Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge may be in varying
     conditions of "make ready" for leasing, as is ordinary in
     Seller's course of business (the "Excluded Units")), all
     rental units shall be in "market ready" rental condition as of
     the Closing Date.  As to such units that are not in "market
     ready" rentable condition as of the Closing Date (excluding
     Excluded Units), the Purchaser and the Seller understand and
     agree that the Purchaser shall be entitled to credit against
     the Purchase Price at Closing an amount equal to the amount
     agreed upon at Closing by the Purchaser and the Seller as
     being required to put such units in "market ready" rentable
     condition.  "Market ready" rentable condition shall be the
     normal condition a unit is placed in by the Seller prior to
     marketing a unit for rental.

The aforesaid representations and warranties shall not be deemed to

in Section 5.02 below.

     In the event any of the above conditions are not satisfied at
the time specified for the Closing, the provisions of Sections 8.01
and 8.02 shall apply.

     Section 5.02.  Escrow Closing.  The purchase and sale of the
Project shall be closed by means of an escrow agreement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit J with such immaterial modifications as
may be required by the Title Company as escrowee thereunder (the

Purchase Price pursuant to the Escrow Agreement established with

commitment (the "Title Commitment") issued by Chicago Title
Insurance Company (the "Title Company") in a stated amount equal to

(i) the exceptions shown in Exhibit K and the other specific
exceptions to title (hereinafter referred to as the "Title
Exceptions") and (ii) any exceptions to title of the Project which
are created or caused by the actions of the Purchaser or its
respective agents, employees or contractors, the Financing
Documents which are of record against the Project, and the other
general exceptions and exclusions contained in the Title Commitment
(hereinafter referred to as "Permitted Exceptions") to which the
Purchaser hereby consents.  Such Title Commitment shall be
conclusive evidence of good title as therein shown.  The Purchaser
shall have until the later of the Outside Date or five (5) days
from the date of delivery of such Title Commitment to object to the
Title Exceptions; and if the Purchaser does not object to any Title
Exceptions in writing within said period, the Purchaser shall be
deemed to have approved such Title Exceptions.  The Seller has
delivered to the Purchaser a plat of survey of the Project showing
the boundary of the Site described in Exhibit A hereto and the
improvements situated thereon and all plattable easements and other
title exceptions (a "Survey"). if the Purchaser objects to a Title
Exception or the Survey shows a survey defect which is objected to
by the Purchaser during the Inspection Period (also for this
purpose an "Unpermitted Exception"), the Seller shall have until
the day prior to the Closing Date (the "Title Clearance Period") to
(i) cause the Title Company to remove or insure over by endorsement
such Unpermitted Exception or (ii) elect not to cause the Title
Company to remove or insure over by endorsement the Unpermitted
Exceptions; provided that the Purchaser may remove any Unpermitted
Exception on the Closing Date which can be removed with the payment
of money; provided, further, however, that the Seller shall notify
the Purchaser five (5) business days after the Outside Date of its
election to proceed under clause (i) or (ii) in respect of all
objections delivered by the Purchaser to any such Unpermitted
Exceptions.  If the Seller elects to cause the Title Company to
remove or insure over by endorsement the Unpermitted Exceptions,
the Closing shall be held as scheduled on the Closing Date.  If the
Seller elects not to have such Unpermitted Exceptions removed or
insured over by endorsement, the Purchaser may terminate this
Agreement by delivery of a Termination Notice on or before the
Outside Date.  If the Purchaser does not deliver a Termination
Notice, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to take title
to the Project subject to said Unpermitted Exceptions, without
recourse to the Seller with respect to said Unpermitted Exceptions. 
If the Purchaser delivers a Termination Notice on or before the
Outside Date as provided in this Section by reason of an
Unpermitted Exception, the Earnest Money Deposit provided (together
with any interest earned thereon) shall be returned to the
Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
subject to retention for the purposes and as provided in Section
2.03(c) hereof and after receipt by the Seller of all (i) documents
(including the Financing Documents), rent rolls, surveys, all other
Due Diligence Items and all other items delivered by the Seller to
the Purchaser hereunder and (ii) inspections and reports (including
supporting materials) ordered or commissioned by or on behalf of
the Purchaser, and, subject to the above provisions of this Section
5.03, and neither the Purchaser nor the Seller shall have any
further right or obligation hereunder, except that the Purchaser's
obligations under Sections 2.04, 2.05 and 2.07 shall survive such
termination.  In the event that any Unpermitted Exception or title
claim is asserted subsequent to the Closing Date, the Purchaser's
sole remedy shall be against the Title Company and the Seller shall
have no responsibility therefor.

     Section 5.04.  Seller's Escrow Deposits.  As provided in the
Escrow Agreement, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall

     for its violation of this Section 6.03(g) as it relates to
     responsibility for payment.

     Section 6.04.  Post-Closing Adjustments.  The Seller and the
Purchaser agree that, to the extent items are prorated or adjusted
at the Closing on the basis of estimates, or are not prorated or
adjusted at the Closing pending actual receipt of funds or
compilation of information upon which such prorations or
adjustments are to be based, each of them will, upon a proper
accounting, pay to the other such amounts as may be necessary such
that Seller will receive the benefit of all income and will pay all
expenses of the Project accrued to and including the Closing Date
and the Purchaser will receive all income and will pay all expenses
of the Project accrued after the Closing Date.  If on or after the
Closing, the Purchaser receives any bill or invoice which relates
to periods on or prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser will
refer such bill to the Seller and the Seller agrees to pay such
bill or invoice promptly upon receipt.  If on or after the Closing,
the Seller receives any bill or invoice which relates to periods
subsequent to the Closing Date, the Seller will refer such bill to
the Purchaser and the Purchaser agrees to pay such bill or invoice
promptly upon receipt.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 6.04 shall survive
the Closing.

     Section 6.05.  Delinquent Rents.  Any rents or other amounts
which are delinquent as of the Closing shall not be adjusted or
prorated at the Closing, but the Purchaser shall make a reasonable
attempt to collect such amounts for the benefit of the Seller after
the Closing, and when and if such amounts are received by the
Purchaser, the Purchaser covenants and agrees to immediately pay to
the Seller any such delinquent rents from rents received by the
Purchaser (after payment of current rents) from such tenants after
the Closing Date.

                           ARTICLE VII
                              BROKER

     Section 7.01.  Brokers.  The Purchaser represents and warrants
to the Seller and the Seller represents and warrants to the
Purchaser that it has not dealt with or been contacted by any
broker, finder, or real estate agent to act on its behalf except
for CB Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc. (the "Broker").  The
Seller will pay the Broker's commission at Closing.  The Purchaser
and the Seller each agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the other for any loss, cost, liability or damage arising from
inaccuracy of this representation and warranty.

                           ARTICLE VIII
                             DEFAULTS

     Section 8.01.  Default of Purchaser. 

          (a)  In the event that the Purchaser has not delivered
     the Termination Notice by the Outside Date under Section 2.01,
     Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 hereof and if the Purchaser fails
     to (1) consummate the purchase of the Project on the Closing
     Date, (2) deliver the Letter of Credit on the Closing Date, or
     (3) fully pay and perform all of the Purchaser's covenants,
     agreements, or obligations hereunder, or breaches any of its
     representations and warranties hereunder, then the Purchaser
     agrees that the Seller shall have the right to cancel the
     Purchaser's rights to purchase the Project under this
     Agreement on not less than fifteen (15) days' prior written
     notice to the Purchaser and, unless the Purchaser cures such
     default within said fifteen (15) day period or the Seller is
     in default hereunder, the Seller shall be entitled to be paid
     and retain the entire Earnest Money Deposit and any interest
     earned thereon (or an amount equal to the Earnest Money
     Deposit and all interest thereon if for any reason the actual
     Earnest Money Deposit and all interest thereon is not
     available to be immediately payable to the Seller) for
     reimbursement of a portion of the Seller's out-of-pocket costs
     incurred in connection with this Agreement and the
     transactions contemplated hereunder and the economic loss of
     taking the Project off the market.  A default by the Purchaser
     under this Agreement is herein sometimes referred to as a
     "Purchaser's Default".

          (b)  In addition, the Purchaser understands and agrees
     that if its rights to purchase the Project hereunder have been
     terminated, nothing herein shall discharge or relieve the
     Purchaser from paying all of the fees, costs and other
     expenses which it is required to pay hereunder, and nothing
     herein shall discharge or relieve it from its obligations
     under Section 2.03(c) and Sections 2.04, 2.05 and 2.07 hereof.

     Section 8.02.  Default of Seller. 

          (a)  If the Seller shall default hereunder in respect of
     any covenants and agreements herein contained by the Seller to
     be performed or complied with, the Purchaser may terminate
     this Agreement on not less than fifteen (15) days' prior
     written notice to the Seller and, unless the Seller cures such
     default in said fifteen (15) day period or the Purchaser is in
     default hereunder, the Purchaser shall be entitled to either

               (i)  return of its Earnest Money Deposit and all
          interest earned thereon as its sole remedy, subject to
          retention for the purposes set forth in Section 2.03(c)
          hereof applicable to the return of the Earnest Money
          Deposit and receipt by the Seller of all (A) documents
          (including all Financing Documents), rent rolls, surveys,
          all other Due Diligence Items and all other items
          delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder and
          (B) inspections and reports (including supporting
          materials) ordered or commissioned by or on behalf of the
          Purchaser, and neither the Purchaser nor the Seller shall
          have any further right or obligation hereunder, except
          that the Purchaser's obligations under Sections 2.04,
          2.05 and 2.07 hereof shall survive, or

               (ii) specific performance of the Seller's
          obligations hereunder to transfer the Project in
          accordance with the terms hereof, plus reimbursement of
          the Purchaser's out-of-pocket third party expenses up to
          $75,000 incurred in connection with enforcement of this
          Section 8.02(a)(ii).

          (b)  It is expressly agreed by the parties that the
     Purchaser hereby waives all legal and equitable right to
     remedies not herein specified.

     Section 8.03.  Extension of Closing Date.  The scheduled
Closing Date shall be August 1, 1997 which date may be extended for
up to fifteen (15) days to accommodate the cure periods provided
herein; provided, however, notwithstanding on which date the
Closing shall actually occur  the Surety Bond shall be returned to
the Surety marked "canceled and discharged" on February 1, 1998 (or
if February 1, 1998 is not a business day then on the next
succeeding business day) as provided in Section 2.03(b) hereof.

                            ARTICLE IX
                     CASUALTY OR CONDEMNATION

     Section 9.01.  Casualty or Condemnation. 

          (a)  The Seller and the Purchaser agree that if prior to
     the Closing Date all or any material portion of the Project is
     damaged or destroyed by any cause or is taken by eminent
     domain or condemnation or a proceeding for the taking by
     eminent domain or condemnation of all or a portion of the
     Project is commenced prior to the Closing Date, the parties
     shall have the following rights exercisable within ten (10)
     days of receipt of notice of the first date on which the cost
     of repairing or restoring the damage and the amount of
     insurance proceeds or awards available to pay such cost is
     known; provided that in the case of a taking or other loss in
     respect of which such notice cannot be delivered by five (5)
     business days prior to the Closing Date the cost of repairing
     or restoring such damage shall be assumed to be more than
     FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000) and the Seller and the
     Purchaser shall have the respective rights specified in
     Sections 9.01(a)(ii) and (iii):

               (i)  If the cost of repairing or restoring such
          damage or the award for such taking is FIFTY THOUSAND
          DOLLARS ($50,000) or less, neither party shall have the
          right to terminate this Agreement,

               (ii) If the cost of repairing or restoring such
          damage is more than FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000) as
          estimated by the Seller, and the Seller notifies the
          Purchaser that it elects to consummate the transaction
          described herein by providing for the repair or
          restoration of the Project, the Purchaser shall not have
          the right to terminate this Agreement if the Seller
          assigns the right to insurance proceeds to the Purchaser
          and deposits funds (or a surety bond from the Surety) in
          an amount sufficient to cover the reasonably anticipated
          costs of such repair or restoration in excess of such
          insurance proceeds, or

               (iii)     If the cost of repairing or restoring such
          damage is more than FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000) as
          estimated by the Seller, and the Seller notifies the
          Purchaser that it does not intend to make such repair or
          restoration, the Purchaser, by written notice to the
          Seller within ten (10) days of receiving the Seller's
          notice-that it will not repair or restore, may elect to
          terminate its obligation to purchase the Project or to
          proceed with the purchase of the Project without any
          obligation on the part of the Seller for any such repair
          or restoration.  Failure to deliver a notice of election
          within such ten (10) day period shall be deemed an
          election by the Purchaser to proceed with the purchase.

          (b)  If this Agreement is not terminated as provided in
     Section 9.01(a), the Seller shall assign and deliver to
     Purchaser at Closing all of the Seller's right and interest in
     the award for such taking or the proceeds of any insurance for
     such damage or destruction (except the Seller shall be
     entitled to retain all insurance proceeds received in
     connection with the loss of rents or business interruption for
     the period up to and including the Closing Date).  If,
     alternatively, this Agreement is terminated as provided in
     Section 9.01(a), all obligations of the parties under this
     Agreement (except the obligations of the Purchaser under
     Section 2.03(c) and Sections 2.04, 2.05 and 2.07 of this
     Agreement) shall be terminated and the Seller shall promptly
     return, subject to retention for the purposes and as set forth
     in Section 2.03(c) of this Agreement, any portion of the
     Purchase Price (including, without limitation, the Earnest
     Money Deposit) theretofore deposited with the Seller or
     otherwise paid by the Purchaser.  Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, in
     the case of any such damage or taking in excess of FIFTY
     THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000), if the election and notice process
     provided for in this Section is not effected in time for the
     Closing to occur no later than August 1, 1997, either party
     may terminate this Agreement on five (5) business days after
     notice, with the parties having their respective rights to the
     Earnest Money Deposit as provided in the preceding sentences.

     stand as security for any indebtedness or obligation.

     Valuation ("NOAV") establishing the ad valorem taxes for the
     Property for 1997 to be $122,216.93. In the event Seller
     receives any further invoices, notices or assessments that
     should be included in the figure listed in this Subparagraph
     (1), Seller will provide copies of same to Purchaser on or
     prior to the Closing Date.

          (m)  The representations, warranties and covenants of the
     Seller contained in this Agreement or in any document
     delivered to Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
     (whether in this Section 8 or elsewhere): (i) shall be true
     and correct in all material respects and not in default at the
     time of Closing, just as though they were made at such time,
     and Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, at Closing, an
     affidavit to that effect.  However, it is expressly agreed and
     understood that the representations, warranties, and covenants
     will merge with the Deed and will not survive the Closing of
     this transaction.

          (n)  All rental units shall be in "market ready",
     rentable condition as of the date of Closing.  Provided,
     however, Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that rental units
     that are vacated within five (5) business days prior to the
     date of Closing, will be in varying conditions of "make-ready"
     for leasing, as is ordinary in Seller's course of business. 
     As to any units that are not in "market ready", rentable
     condition as of the date of Closing, Purchaser and Seller
     understand and agree that Purchaser shall be entitled to a
     credit against the Purchase Price at Closing an amount equal
     to the amount agreed upon at Closing by Purchaser and Seller
     as being required to put in "market ready", rentable condition
     any units that are not in such condition as of the date of the
     Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will not be
     required to pay an amount in excess of $500.00 per unit not in
     "market ready", rentable condition.  Purchaser shall have the
     right to re-inspect the Property during the period commencing
     not earlier than five (5) days prior to the Closing and ending
     on the Closing solely for purposes of verifying the
     maintenance of the Property in accordance with this Contract.

          (o)  To the best of Seller's knowledge, no Hazardous
     Materials are located on or about the Property.  For purposes
     of this Paragraph the phrase, "To the best of Seller's
     knowledge", is strictly limited to the information contained
     in an environmental report prepared in connection with
     Seller's acquisition of the Property.  Seller agrees to
     provide Purchaser with a copy of such environmental report.

          (p)  To the best of Seller's knowledge, the Improvements
     and Personal Property are in good working order and are
     structurally sound.  For purposes of this Paragraph, the
     phrase, "To the best of Seller's knowledge", is strictly
     limited to the information contained in an engineer's report
     prepared in connection with Seller's acquisition of the
     Property.  Seller agrees to provide Purchaser with a copy of
     such engineer's report.

          (q)  Except as otherwise specifically stated in this
     Contract, Seller shall disclose to Purchaser any and all
     information Seller may have in its possession regarding the
     following, but Seller hereby specifically disclaims any
     warranty, guaranty or representation, oral or written, past,
     present or future, of, as to, or concerning: (i) the nature
     and condition of the Property, including, "without limitation,
     the water, soil and geology, and the suitability thereof and
     of the Property for any and all activities and uses which
     Purchaser may elect to conduct thereon, and the existence of
     any environmental hazards or conditions thereon (including the
     presence of asbestos) or compliance with all applicable laws,
     rules or regulations; (ii) except for any warranties contained
     in the Deed to be delivered by Seller at the Closing, the
     nature and extent of any right-of-way, lease, possession,
     lien, encumbrance, license, reservation, condition or
     otherwise; and (iii) the compliance of the Property or its
     operation with any laws, ordinances or regulations of any
     government or other body.  Purchaser acknowledges that it will
     inspect the Property and, except for the specific
     representations, warranties and covenants contained herein,
     Purchaser will rely solely on its own investigation of the
     Property and not on any information provided or to be provided
     by Seller.  Purchaser further acknowledges that the
     information provided and to be provided with respect to the
     Property was obtained from a variety of sources and Seller:
     (i) has not made any independent investigation or verification
     of such information; and (ii) does not make any
     representations as to the accuracy or completeness of such
     information, except for the specific representations,
     warranties and covenants contained herein.  THE SALE OF THE
     PROPERTY AS PROVIDED FOR HEREIN IS MADE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS,
     AND PURCHASER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, IN CONSIDERATION OF
     THE AGREEMENTS OF SELLER HEREIN, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED
     HEREIN, SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR
     IMPLIED, OR ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
     LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY OF CONDITION, HABITABILITY,
     MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IN
     RESPECT OF THE PROPERTY.  NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE
     CONSTRUED OR DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE OR CREATE AN AFFIRMATIVE
     OBLIGATION OF SELLER TO UNDERTAKE ANY ACTION OR TO INCUR ANY
     EXPENSE IN PROCURING ANY INFORMATION OR REPORT RELATING TO
     SELLER'S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

     8.2  Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 8.1, if,
within ten (10) days from the date this Contract is fully executed,
Seller gives written notice that any representation or warranty
contained in this Paragraph 8.1 is incorrect, Seller will not be
bound by such representation or warranty.  However, within ten (10)
days after Seller's delivery of such notice to Purchaser, Purchaser
may terminate this Contract (in which event the Earnest Money
Deposit shall be immediately returned to Purchaser).

                                9.

                             DEFAULT

     9.1  In the event that Purchaser shall fail to purchase the
Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Contract, or otherwise default in the performance of Purchaser's
obligations pursuant to this Contract, for any reason whatsoever
other than Seller's default or as otherwise permitted hereunder,
Seller shall be paid and shall retain the Earnest Money Deposit as
liquidated damages as Seller's sole remedy hereunder.

     9.2  In the event that Seller shall default in the performance
of Seller's obligations hereunder, for any reason whatsoever other
than Purchaser's default or as otherwise permitted hereunder, as
Purchaser's only remedies hereunder, Purchaser may, at Purchaser's
option: (i) purchase the Property notwithstanding such default
pursuant to the remaining terms and provisions of this Contract, in
which event such default shall be deemed waived, (ii) terminate
this Contract, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to return
of Purchaser's Earnest Money Deposit, and neither Seller nor
Purchaser shall have any further obligation hereunder, or (iii)
seek specific performance of this Contract.

                               10.

                          CASUALTY LOSS

     10.1 If, prior to the date of the Closing, all or any material
portion of the Property is either destroyed, damaged by fire or
other casualty, Purchaser shall have the right to cancel this
Contract by written notice to Seller and the Title Company within
ten (10) days after delivery to Purchaser of notice of the
occurrence of any such event (and the Closing shall be extended
such additional time as is necessary to make such election). 
Provided, however, failure to so elect shall be deemed an election
by Purchaser to complete Purchaser's purchase obligations
hereunder.  If, upon any such occurrence, Purchaser elects or is
deemed to have elected to complete Purchaser's purchase obligations
hereunder, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all insurance
proceeds, as compensation for such loss and Seller shall, in this
regard, execute all documents and perform such acts as shall be
necessary or proper for Purchaser to receive such proceeds.  In the
event Purchaser elects to complete the purchase of the Property and
accept an assignment of the insurance proceeds, Seller agrees to
pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the insurance policy
deductible.

                               11.

                   BROKER FEES AND COMMISSIONS

     11.1 Seller and Purchaser each hereby warrant and represent to
the other that all claims for brokerage fees, commissions or
finders' or other similar fees in connection with the transactions
contemplated in this Contract, insofar as such claims shall be
based on agreements made by either of the parties, shall be paid by
the party making such agreements, and the party hereto making such
agreement does hereby indemnify and hold the party hereto which
does not make such agreement harmless from and against all
liability, loss, cost, damage or expense (including but not limited
to reasonable attorney's fees and costs of litigation) which the
party hereto which does not make such agreement shall suffer or
incur because of any claim by any broker, agent or finder claiming
any compensation pursuant to such agreement with respect to the
sale and purchase of the Property or the execution of this
Contract.  The provision of this Paragraph 11.1 shall survive
Closing.

     11.2 Seller shall pay to Windsor Advisors, L.C. d/b/a Windsor
Realty Advisors (R.J. Hall) (hereinafter referred to as "Realtor"),
a commission in cash equal to three percent (3%) of the Purchase

Contract is consummated.

                               12.

recorded in Volume 10172, Page 1962 of the Deed of Trust Records,
Tarrant County, Texas, executed by Seller which grants General
Electric Capital Corporation a "First Option to Purchase" the
Property.  Seller will use Seller's best efforts to secure within
ten (10) days from the Effective Date, the waiver of General
Electric Capital Corporation of its First Option to Purchase.  In
the event General Electric Capital Corporation exercises the First
Option to Purchase in accordance with the terms of the above
described deed of trust, this Contract shall terminate and the

Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further obligations to the
other.

expressly contingent upon Seller using Seller's best efforts to
obtain the approval and consent of any lienholder to the herein
proposed sale and the agreement of such lienholder to release any
and all liens or security interests it holds with regard to the
Property on or before ten (10) days from the Effective Date.  In
the event Seller is unable to obtain the approval within the above
described time period, this Contract shall terminate and the
Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither
Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further obligations to the
other.

(1)  Fully diluted net income per share is not presented because
     the convertible equity securities and preferred stock are
     anti-dilutive.

(2)  This calculation is submitted in accordance with Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934 Release No. 9083, although not required
     by APB Opinion No. 15, because it results in dilution of less
     than three percent.  For the three months ended September 30, 1997,
     the actual calculation before considering the effects of rounding
     results in dilution of less than three percent.
