        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. This Supplement replaces the Supplements dated July 31, 1996, August 9,
1996, August 30, 1996 and September 13, 1996. Capitalized terms used in this
Supplement have the same meaning as in the Prospectus 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 September 19, 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 September 19, 1996, will be
reported in a subsequent Supplement.

                                  THE OFFERING

         As of September 19, 1996, the Company had received aggregate
subscription proceeds of $99,751,116 (9,975,112 Shares) from 5,567 stockholders,
including $243,167 (24,317 Shares) issued pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan. As
of September 19, 1996, the Company had invested or committed for investment
approximately $78,200,000 of such proceeds in 82 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 42 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 $9,400,000 in offering proceeds available for investment in
Properties and Mortgage Loans. As of September 19, 1996, the Company had
incurred $4,488,800 in Acquisition Fees to the Advisor.

                                    BUSINESS

PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS

         Between July 17, 1996 and September 19, 1996, the Company acquired ten
Properties, including one Property consisting of building only and nine
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) and an Arby's Property (in Avon, Indiana). 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 from an Affiliate of the Company, 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

                                      - 1 -

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 and the Arby's 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 September 19, 1996, the Company had initial commitments to
acquire six properties, including one property which consists of building only
and five properties which consist of land and building. 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 six of these properties
are expected to be entered into on substantially the same terms described in the
Prospectus in the section 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.

         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)]

BORROWING AND SECURED EQUIPMENT LEASES

         On August 9, 1996, the Company obtained an advance of $574,557 under
its $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 costs
of $570. The Company anticipates obtaining another advance 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 advance of
$102,570 is an interest only loan for the first three months and upon obtaining
the additional advance during the fourth month, the $102,570 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).

         The following table sets forth a summary of the principal terms of the
acquisition and lease of the Equipment.

     Equipment Lease, at the then present value of the remaining rental
     payments, discounted at a rate of ten percent per annum.

     a final Secured Equipment Lease. The final Secured Equipment Lease is
     expected to have a term of approximately seven years and provide for the
     payment of annual rent (payable monthly) in an amount equal to the total
     purchase price of the Equipment times 10.68%.

(6)  Lessee may purchase the Equipment prior to the expiration of the final
     Secured Equipment Lease, at the then present value of the remaining rental
     payments, discounted at a rate of 10.68% per annum.

FOOTNOTES:

(1)  Base rent does not include percentage rents which become due if specified
     levels of gross receipts are achieved.

(2)  The Properties will be managed pursuant to an advisory agreement between
     the Company and CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor"), pursuant to which
     the Advisor will receive monthly asset management fees in an amount equal
     to one-twelfth of .60% of the Company's Real Estate Asset Value as of the
     end of the preceding month as defined in such agreement. See "Management
     Compensation."

(3)  Estimated at 6.2% of gross rental income based on the previous experience
     of Affiliates of the Advisor with 17 public limited partnerships which own
     properties similar to those owned by the Company. Amount does not include
     soliciting dealer servicing fee due to the fact that such fee will not be
     incurred until December 31 of the year following the year in which the
     offering terminates.

(4)  The estimated federal tax basis of the depreciable portion (the building
     portion) of the Properties has been depreciated on the straight-line method
     over 39 years.
