                                   BUSINESS

PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS

      Between April 3, 1997 and April 18, 1997, the Company acquired seven
Properties, including five Properties consisting of land and building, one
Property consisting of building only and one Property consisting of land only,
with the proceeds of the Initial Offering.  These Properties are two Boston
Market Properties (one in each of Arvada, Colorado, and Liberty, Missouri),
one Black-eyed Pea Property (in Scottsdale, Arizona), one Jack in the Box
Property (in Enumclaw, Washington), one Einstein Bros. Bagels Property (in
Dearborn, Michigan), one Shoney's Property (in Guadalupe, Arizona) and one
Pizza Hut Property (in Dover, Ohio).  For information regarding the 129
Properties acquired by the Company prior to April 3, 1997, see the Prospectus
dated April 18, 1997.



April 23, 1997                                 Prospectus Dated April 18, 1997





      In connection with the purchase of the two Boston Market Properties, the
Einstein Bros. Bagels Property, the Jack in the Box Property, and the Shoney'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 or renovated, 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."

      The purchase price for the Shoney's Property in Guadalupe, Arizona,
includes a development fee of $49,500 to an Affiliate of the Advisor for
services provided in connection with the development of the Property.  The
Company considers development fees, to the extent that they are paid to
Affiliates, to be Acquisition Fees.  Such development fees must be approved by
a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent
Directors) not otherwise interested in such transactions, subject to a
determination that such transactions are fair and reasonable to the Company
and on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Company than those
available from unaffiliated third parties and not less favorable than those
available from the Advisor or its Affiliates in transactions with unaffiliated
third parties.  See the sections of the Prospectus entitled "Management
Compensation" and Business - Site Selection and Acquisition of Properties."

      In connection with the Black-eyed Pea Property in Scottsdale, Arizona,
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 addition, the Company has entered into a
landlord estoppel agreement with the landlord of the land and a collateral
assignment of the ground lease with the lessee in order to provide the Company
with certain rights with respect to the land on which the building is located.

      In connection with the Pizza Hut Property in Dover, Ohio, which is land
only, the Company acquired the land and is leasing this parcel to the lessee,
Castle Hill Holdings VII, L.L.C. ("Castle Hill"), along with eight Pizza Hut
Properties previously acquired, pursuant to a master lease agreement (the
"Master Lease Agreement").  Castle Hill has subleased the Pizza Hut Property
in Dover, Ohio, along with the eight Pizza Hut Properties previously acquired,
to one of its affiliates, Midland Food Services III, L.L.C., which is the
operator of the restaurants.  The general terms of the Master Lease Agreement
are similar to those described in the section of the Prospectus entitled
"Business - Description of Property Leases."  If the lessee does not exercise
its option to purchase the Properties upon termination of the Master Lease
Agreement, the sublessee and lessee will surrender possession of the
Properties to the Company, together with any improvements on such Properties. 
The lessee owns the buildings located on the Pizza Hut Property in Dover,
Ohio, along with the eight Pizza Hut Properties previously acquired.  In
addition, the Company provided mortgage financing of $4,200,000 to the lessee
of the Pizza Hut Property in Dover, Ohio, along with the eight Pizza Hut
Properties previously acquired, pursuant to a Mortgage Loan evidenced by a
master mortgage note (the "Master Mortgage Note") which is collateralized by
the building improvements on the Pizza Hut Property in Dover, Ohio, the eight
Pizza Hut Properties previously acquired, and two additional Pizza Hut
Properties in Wintersville, Ohio, and Weirton, West Virginia, which will not
be owned by the Company.  The Master Mortgage Note bears interest at a rate of
10.50% per annum and principal and interest are due in equal monthly
installments over 20 years starting May 1, 1997.  The Master Mortgage Note
equals approximately 88 percent of the appraised value of the related
buildings.  Management believes that, due to the fact that the Company owns
the underlying land relating to the Pizza Hut Property in Dover, Ohio, and the
eight Pizza Hut Properties previously acquired, and due to other underwriting
criteria, the Company has sufficient collateral for the Master Mortgage Note.

      The following table sets forth the location of the seven Properties,

the competition, and a summary of the principal terms of the acquisition and

properties is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including, but
not limited to, a satisfactory environmental survey and property appraisal.

or, if satisfied, that one or more of these properties will be acquired by the

to be entered into on substantially the same terms described in the section of
the Prospectus entitled "Business -Description of Property Leases."

      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)   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 each Property has been depreciated on the straight-line

      constructed or renovated, provide that construction or renovation must
