The Partners of
ERP Operating Limited Partnership

We have audited the accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses of
Cascade at Landmark (the Property) for the year ended December 31, 1996. The
Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses is the responsibility of the
Property's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses is free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures made in the Statement of Revenue and
Certain Expenses. An audit also includes assessing the basis of accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement of Revenue and Certain
Expenses. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses was prepared for the
purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in ERP Operating Limited Partnership's Current
Report on Form 8-K as described in Note 1, and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Property's revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses referred to above
presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses
described in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                         REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses for the year
     ended December 31, 1996 and the period from January 1, 1997 through May 21,
     1997 (unaudited) were prepared for purposes of complying with the rules and
     regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying
     financial statements are not representative of the actual operations of
     Cascade at Landmark for the periods presented as certain expenses, which
     may not be comparable to the expenses to be incurred by ERP Operating
     Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries (the "Operating Partnership") in
     the proposed future operations of Cascade at Landmark, have been excluded.
     Expenses excluded consist of interest, depreciation and amortization,
     professional fees and other costs not directly related to the future
     operations of Cascade at Landmark.

     In preparation of the Property's Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses
     in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management
     makes estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of revenue
     and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
     these estimates.

     Rental income attributable to residential leases is recorded when due from
     tenants, generally on a straight line basis.

     Cascade at Landmark had a management agreement with a management company
     unaffiliated with the Operating Partnership through the acquisition date to
     maintain and manage the operations of the apartment complex. Management
     fees were based on 5% of total income. Of the management fees paid in 1996,
     $160,288 were paid to an affiliate of the property owner. Upon acquisition
     of Cascade at Landmark by the Operating Partnership, such management
     contract was cancelled at which time the Operating Partnership began to
     manage Cascade at Landmark.

                            NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF
                         REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses for the year
     ended December 31, 1996 and the period from January 1, 1997 through May 21,
     1997 (unaudited) were prepared for purposes of complying with the rules and
     regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying
     financial statements are not representative of the actual operations of
     Sabal Palm Club for the periods presented as certain expenses, which may
     not be comparable to the expenses to be incurred by ERP Operating Limited
     Partnership and its subsidiaries (the "Operating Partnership") in the
     proposed future operations of Sabal Palm Club, have been excluded. Expenses
     excluded consist of interest, depreciation and amortization, professional
     fees and other costs not directly related to the future operations of Sabal
     Palm Club.

     In preparation of the Property's Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses
     in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management
     makes estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of revenue
     and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
     these estimates.

     Rental income attributable to residential leases is recorded when due from
     tenants, generally on a straight line basis.

     Sabal Palm Club had a management agreement with a management company
     unaffiliated with the Operating Partnership through the acquisition date to
     maintain and manage the operations of the apartment complex. Management
     fees were based on 5% of total income. Of the management fees paid in 1996,
     $188,092 were paid to an affiliate of the property owner. Upon acquisition
     of Sabal Palm Club by the Operating Partnership, such management contract
     was cancelled at which time the Operating Partnership began to manage Sabal
     Palm Club.

The Partners of
ERP Operating Limited Partnership

We have audited the accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses of
Wood Creek (Pleasant Hill) (the Property) for the year ended December 31, 1996.
The Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses is the responsibility of the
Property's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses is free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures made in the Statement of Revenue and
Certain Expenses. An audit also includes assessing the basis of accounting used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses was prepared for the
purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in ERP Operating Limited Partnership's Current
Report on Form 8-K as described in Note 1, and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Property's revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses referred to above
presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses
described in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
