      This Supplement is part of, and should be read in conjunction with, the
Prospectus dated April 26, 1996 and the Prospectus Supplement dated July 26,

1996, August 30, 1996, September 13, 1996 and September 24, 1996.  Capitalized

unless otherwise stated herein.

      Information as to proposed properties for which the Company has received
initial commitments and as to the number and types of Properties acquired by
the Company is presented as of October 3, 1996, and all references to
commitments or Property acquisitions should be read in that context.  Proposed
properties for which the Company receives initial commitments, as well as
property acquisitions that occur after October 3, 1996, will be reported in a
subsequent Supplement.

                                 THE OFFERING

      As of October 3, 1996, the Company had received aggregate subscription
proceeds of $104,484,211 (10,448,421 Shares) from 5,788 stockholders,
including $391,348 (39,135 Shares) issued pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan. 
As of October 3, 1996, the Company had invested or committed for investment
approximately $80,000,000 of such proceeds in 83 Properties (including one
Property through a joint venture arrangement which consists of land and
building, six Properties which consist of building only, 33 Properties which
consist of land only and 43 Properties which consist of land and building), in
providing mortgage financing to the tenants of the 33 Properties consisting of
land only and to pay Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses, leaving
approximately $11,900,000 in offering proceeds available for investment in
Properties and Mortgage Loans.  As of October 3, 1996, the Company had
incurred $4,701,789 in Acquisition Fees to the Advisor.

                                   BUSINESS

PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS

      Between July 17, 1996 and October 3, 1996, the Company acquired 11
Properties, including one Property consisting of building only and ten
Properties consisting of land and building.  The Properties are four Boston
Market Properties (one in each of Upland, La Quinta and Merced, California,
and Florissant, Missouri), a Jack in the Box Property (in Houston, Texas), two
Applebee's Properties (one in each of Montclair and Salinas, California) a
Golden Corral Property (in Brooklyn, Ohio) a Ryan's Family Steak House
Property (in Spring Hill, Florida), an Arby's Property (in Avon, Indiana) and
a Burger King Property (in Chicago, Illinois).  For information regarding the
72 Properties acquired by the Company prior to July 17, 1996, see the
Prospectus dated April 26, 1996, and the Prospectus Supplement dated July 26,
1996.

      The Boston Market Property in Merced, California, was acquired from an
Affiliate of the Company.  The Affiliate had purchased and temporarily held
title to the Property in order to facilitate the acquisition of the Property
by the Company.  The Property was acquired by the Company for a purchase price
of $559,682, representing the cost of the Property to the Affiliate (including
carrying costs) due to the fact that this amount was less than the Property's
appraised value.

      In connection with the purchase of the Golden Corral Property in
Brooklyn, Ohio, which is building only, the Company, as lessor, entered into a
long-term lease agreement with an unaffiliated lessee.  The general terms of
the lease agreement are described in the section of the Prospectus entitled
"Business - Description of Property Leases."  In connection with this
acquisition, the Company has also entered into an assignment of an



October 9, 1996                                Prospectus Dated April 26, 1996



interest in the ground lease with the lessee and the owner of the land.  The
assignment provides that the ground lessee is responsible for all obligations
under the ground lease and provides certain rights to the Company relating to
the maintenance of its interest in the building in the event of a default by
the lessee under the terms of the ground lease.

      In connection with the purchase of the Boston Market Properties, the
Jack in the Box Property, the Applebee's Properties, the Ryan's Family Steak
House Property, the Arby's Property and the Burger King Property, which are
land and building, the Company, as lessor, entered into long-term lease
agreements with unaffiliated lessees.  The general terms of the lease
agreements are described in the section of the Prospectus  entitled "Business
- - Description of  Property Leases."  For the Properties that are to be
constructed, the Company has entered into development and indemnification and
put agreements with the lessees.  The general terms of these agreements are
described in the section of the Prospectus entitled "Business - Site Selection
and Acquisition of Properties - Construction and Renovation."

      As of October 3, 1996, the Company had initial commitments to acquire
seven properties, including four properties which consist of land and
building, one property which consists of building only and two properties
which consist of land only.  The acquisition of each of these properties is
subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including, but not limited
to, a satisfactory environmental survey and property appraisal.  There can be
no assurance that any or all of the conditions will be satisfied or, if
satisfied, that one or more of these properties will be acquired by the
Company.  If acquired, the leases of all seven of these properties are
expected to be entered into on substantially the same terms described in the
section of the Prospectus entitled "Business - Description of Property
Leases," except as described below.

      In connection with the Wendy's property in San Diego, California, the
Company anticipates owning only the building and not the underlying land. 
However, the Company anticipates entering into a tri-party agreement with the
lessee and the landlord of the land in order to provide the Company with
certain rights with respect to the land on which the building is located.

      In connection with the two Pizza Hut properties, the Company anticipates
acquiring the land and leasing it to the tenant, Castle Hill Holdings VI,
L.L.C. ("Castle Hill"), pursuant to a master lease agreement for these two
properties.  The tenant is expected to own the buildings for these two Pizza
Hut properties.  In connection therewith, the Company anticipates providing
mortgage financing to the tenant which will be collateralized by the building
improvements.  If the mortgage note is executed, it is expected to be executed
under substantially the same terms described in the section of the Prospectus
entitled "Business - Mortgage Loans."

      Set forth below are summarized terms expected to apply to the leases for
each of the properties.  More detailed information relating to a property and
its related lease will be provided at such time, if any, as the property is
acquired.

FOOTNOTES:

(1)   The  "Total  Cost"  is equal to the sum of (i) the purchase price of the
      property,  (ii)  closing  costs,  and  (iii)  actual  development  costs
      incurred under the development agreement.

(2)   The Company anticipates owning the building only for this property.  The
      Company  will  not  own  the  underlying  land;  although,  the  Company
      anticipates  entering into a tri-party agreement with the lessee and the
      landlord of the land in order to provide the Company with certain rights
      with respect to the land on which the building is located.

(3)   In  the  event  that the aggregate amount of percentage rent paid by the
      lessee  to  the Company over the term of the lease shall equal or exceed
      15%  of the purchase price paid by the Company, then the option purchase
      price  shall  equal  one  dollar.    In  the  event  that  the aggregate
      percentage  rent  paid shall be less than 15% of the purchase price paid
      by  the  Company,  then  the  option  purchase  price  shall  equal  the
      difference  of  15% of the purchase price, less the aggregate percentage
      rent paid to the landlord by the lessee under the lease.

(4)   The "Building Overage Multiplier" is calculated as follows:

            Building   Overage   Multiplier   =   (purchase   price   of   the
            building)/[purchase price of the building + (annual rent due under
            the land lease/land lease cap rate)]

(5)   The  lease  relating to this property is a land lease only.  The Company
      anticipates  entering  into  a  master  mortgage  note  receivable
      collateralized  by  the  Bowling  Green  and  Toledo,  Ohio  building
      improvements.

(6)   The  Company  anticipates entering into a master lease agreement for the
      Bowling Green and Toledo, Ohio properties.

(7)   If  the  lessee  exercises  one  or both of its renewal options, minimum
      annual  rent  will  increase by 12% after the expiration of the original
      lease  term  and after five years thereafter during any subsequent lease
      term.

      The  following  table  sets  forth  the  location  of  the 11 Properties
acquired  by  the  Company,  including the ten Properties in which the Company
acquired  the  land  and  building  and  the one Property in which the Company
acquired  the  building  only,  from  July 17, 1996 through October 3, 1996, a
description  of  the  competition, and a summary of the principal terms of the
acquisition and lease of each Property.

$15,000,000  Loan.  The advance is a fully amortizing term loan repayable over
five  years  and  bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 215 basis points
above  the Reserve Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Loan).  The proceeds
of  the  advance  were  used to acquire Equipment for a restaurant property in
Marlboro,  New Jersey, at a cost of $562,742, to pay a Secured Equipment Lease
Servicing Fee of $11,255 to the Advisor and to pay closing costs of $560.

      On  August  28,  1996, the Company obtained an advance of $102,570 under
its  $15,000,000  Loan  for  partial funding of the Equipment for a restaurant
property  in  Winnemucca,  Nevada,  at  a  cost  of $100,000, to pay a Secured
Equipment  Lease  Servicing  Fee  of  $2,000 to the Advisor and to pay closing

under  its  Loan to fund the balance of the acquisition price of the Equipment
within  four  months  of  obtaining  the initial advance of $102,570 described
above.    The  aggregate advances of $146,727 are considered to be an interest
only loan for the first three months and upon obtaining the additional advance
prior  to  the  fourth  month,  the  $146,727 plus the additional advance will
become  a  fully  amortizing  term  loan  repayable  over  the duration of the
Winnemucca  Secured  Equipment Lease, but in no event, greater than six years.
The  advances will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 215 basis points
above the Reserve Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Loan).

      by personal property for federal income tax purposes.

(2)   Rental  payments  due  under  the  Secured  Equipment  Lease are payable
      monthly, commencing on the effective date of the lease.

(3)   Lessee may purchase the Equipment prior to the expiration of the Secured
      Equipment  Lease,  at  the  then  present  value of the remaining rental
      payments, discounted at a rate of ten percent per annum.

                 PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


      The  following Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company gives
effect  to  (i)  property acquisition transactions from inception through June
30, 1996, including the receipt of $76,816,648 in gross offering proceeds from
the sale of 7,681,665 shares of common stock pursuant to a Form S-11 under the
Securities  Act  of  1933,  as  amended,  effective  March  29,  1995, and the
application   of  such  proceeds  to  purchase  68  properties  (including  29
properties  which  consist  of land and building, one property through a joint
venture arrangement which consists of land and building, five properties which
consist  of  building  only  and 33 properties consisting of land only), 14 of
which  were under construction at June 30, 1996, to provide mortgage financing
to  the  lessees  of  the  33  properties  consisting of land only, and to pay
organizational  and  offering  expenses,  acquisition  fees  and miscellaneous
acquisition  expenses,  (ii)  the  receipt  of  $22,934,468  in gross offering
proceeds  from  the sale of 2,293,447 additional shares of common stock during
the  period July 1, 1996 through September 19, 1996, and (iii) the application
of such funds and $3,689,194 of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1996, to
purchase  14  additional  properties  acquired  during the period July 1, 1996
through  September 19, 1996 (11 of which are under construction and consist of
land  and  building, two properties which consist of land and building and one
property  which consists of building only), to pay additional costs for the 14
properties  under construction at June 30, 1996, and to pay offering expenses,
acquisition  fees  and miscellaneous acquisition expenses, all as reflected in
the  pro  forma  adjustments  described  in  the related notes.  The Pro Forma
Consolidated  Balance  Sheet  as  of June 30, 1996,  includes the transactions
described  in  (i)  above  from  its  historical  consolidated  balance sheet,
adjusted  to  give  effect  to the transactions in (ii) and (iii) above, as if
they had occurred on June 30, 1996.

      The  Pro  Forma  Consolidated  Statements of Earnings for the six months
ended  June  30,  1996  and  the  year  ended  December  31, 1995, include the
historical operating results of the properties described in (i) above from the
dates  of  their  acquisitions  plus operating results for the seven of the 82
properties  that were owned by the Company as of September 19, 1996, and had a
previous rental history prior to the Company's acquisition of such properties,
from (A) the later of (1) the date the property became operational as a rental
property  by  the  previous  owner  or  (2) June 2, 1995 (the date the Company
became  operational),  to  (B)  the  earlier  of (1) the date the property was
acquired  by the Company or (2) the end of the pro forma period presented.  No
pro  forma adjustments have been made to the Pro Forma Consolidated Statements
of  Earnings  for  the  remaining  75  properties  owned  by the Company as of
September  19,  1996,  due  to  the  fact that these properties did not have a
previous rental history.

      This  pro  forma  consolidated  financial  information  is presented for
informational  purposes  only  and  does  not  purport to be indicative of the
Company's  financial  results  or  condition  if  the  various  events  and
transactions  reflected  therein  had occurred on the dates, or been in effect
during  the  periods,  indicated.    This  pro  forma  consolidated  financial
information  should  not  be  viewed  as predictive of the Company's financial
results or conditions in the future.

(b)   In  accordance  with generally accepted accounting principles, leases in
      which  the  present  value  of  future  minimum lease payments equals or
      exceeds 90 percent of the value of the related properties are treated as
      direct  financing  leases  rather  than  as  land  and  buildings.   The
      categorization  of the leases has no effect on rental revenues received.
      The  building  portions of ten of the properties have been classified as
      direct financing leases.

Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Earnings:
- ---------------------------------------------

(1)   Represents  rental  income  from operating leases and earned income from
      direct  financing  leases  for  the  seven of the 82 properties acquired
      during  the  period June 2, 1995 (the date the Company began operations)
      through  September 19, 1996 which had a previous rental history prior to
      the  acquisition  of  the  property  by  the  Company  (the  "Pro  Forma
      Properties"),  for  the  period commencing (A) the later of (i) the date
      the  Pro  Forma  Property became operational as a rental property by the
      previous  owner  or  (ii)  June  2,  1995  (the  date the Company became
      operational),  to (B) the earlier of (i) the date the Pro Forma Property
      was  acquired  by  the  Company  or (ii) the end of the pro forma period
      presented.   Each of the seven Pro Forma Properties was acquired from an
      affiliate  who had purchased and temporarily held title to the property.
      The  noncancellable  leases for the Pro Forma Properties in place during
      the  period  the  affiliate  owned  the  properties were assigned to the
      Company  at the time the Company acquired the properties.  The following
      presents  the  actual date the Pro Forma Properties were acquired by the
      Company as compared to the date the Pro Forma Properties were treated as
      becoming  operational as a rental property for purposes of the Pro Forma

      In  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles, lease
      revenue  from  leases  accounted  for  under  the  operating  method  is
      recognized over the terms of the leases.  For operating leases providing
      escalating  guaranteed  minimum rents, income is reported on a straight-
      line  basis  over  the terms of the leases.  For leases accounted for as
      direct financing leases, future minimum lease payments are recorded as a
      receivable.    The  difference  between the receivable and the estimated
      residual  values less the cost of the properties is recorded as unearned
      income.    The  unearned  income  is  amortized  over the lease terms to
      provide a constant rate of return.  Accordingly, pro forma rental income
      from  operating  leases  and  earned income from direct financing leases
      does  not  necessarily  represent  rental  payments that would have been
      received  if  the properties had been operational for the full pro forma
      period.

      Generally,  the  leases  provide  for  the payment of percentage rent in
      addition  to  base  rental  income.    However,  due to the fact that no
      percentage  rent  was  due under the leases for the Pro Forma Properties
      during  the  portion  of 1996 and 1995 that the previous owners held the
      properties,  no  pro  forma  adjustment  was  made for percentage rental
      income  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1996 and the year ended
      December 31, 1995.

(2)   See  Note  (b)  under "Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet" above for a
      description of direct financing leases.

(3)   Represents  adjustment  to  interest  income  due to the decrease in the
      amount  of  cash  available  for investment in interest bearing accounts
      during  the periods commencing (A) on the later of (i) the dates the Pro
      Forma Properties became operational as rental properties by the previous
      owners  or  (ii) June 2, 1995 (the date the Company became operational),
      through  (B)  the  earlier of (i) the actual dates of acquisition by the
      Company  or  the  end of the pro forma period presented, as described in
      Note  (1)  above.   The estimated pro forma adjustment is based upon the
      fact  that  interest income on interest bearing accounts was earned at a
      rate  of  approximately four percent per annum by the Company during the
      six months ended June 30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995.

(4)   Represents incremental increase in asset management fees relating to the
      Pro  Forma  Properties for the period commencing (A) on the later of (i)
      the   date  the  Pro  Forma  Properties  became  operational  as  rental
      properties  by  the  previous  owners or (ii) June 2, 1995 (the date the
      Company became operational), through (B) the earlier of (i) the date the
      Pro Forma Properties were acquired by the Company or (ii) the end of the
      pro  forma  period  presented,  as  described  in Note (1) above.  Asset
      management  fees  are  equal to 0.60% of the Company's Real Estate Asset
      Value  (estimated  to be approximately $6,219,000 and $5,241,000 for the
      Pro Forma Properties for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the year
      ended  December  31,  1995,  respectively),  as defined in the Company's
      prospectus.

(5)   Represents  adjustment  to  state  tax  expense  due  to the incremental
      increase  in  rental  revenues  of  Pro Forma Properties.  Estimated pro
      forma  state  tax  expense  was calculated based on an analysis of state
      laws  of  the  various  states in which the Company has acquired the Pro
      Forma Properties.  The estimated pro forma state taxes consist primarily
      of  income  and  franchise taxes ranging from zero to approximately five
      percent  of  the  Company's  pro  forma  rental income of each Pro Forma
      Property.  Due to the fact that the Company's leases are triple net, the
      Company  has  not  included any amounts for real estate taxes in the pro
      forma statement of earnings.

(6)   Represents  incremental increase in depreciation expense of the building
      portions  of the Pro Forma  Properties accounted for as operating leases
      using  the  straight-line  method  over  an  estimated useful life of 30
      years.

(7)   Historical  earnings  per  share were calculated based upon the weighted
      average  number  of  shares  of  common stock outstanding during the six
      months  ended  June  30,  1996,  and  during  the period the Company was
      operational,  June 2, 1995 (the date following when the Company received
      the  minimum  offering  proceeds  and  funds  were released from escrow)
      through December 31, 1995.

      As  a  result  of three of the six Pro Forma Properties being treated in
      the  Pro  Forma  Consolidated  Statement  of Earnings for the year ended
      December  31,  1995,  as placed in service on June 2, 1995 (the date the
