| Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE D - INVESTMENTS IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIPS  At September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership had limited partnership interests in 3 and 7 Operating Partnerships, respectively, which own operating apartment complexes as follows: Series 2013 20121--2--3374--5--6  -  -   3 7  Under the terms of the Partnership's investment in each Operating Partnership, the Partnership was required to make capital contributions to the Operating Partnerships. These contributions were payable in installments over several years upon each Operating Partnership achieving specified levels of construction and/or operations. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, all capital contributions had been paid.  During the six months ended September 30, 2013 the Partnership disposed of three Operating Partnerships. A summary of the dispositions by Series for September 30, 2013 is as follows:  Operating Partnership Interest Transferred Sale of Underlying Operating Partnership Partnership Proceeds from Disposition Gain/(Loss) on DispositionSeries 1- - $- $-Series 2- -  -  -Series 33 -  -  -Series 4- -  -  -Series 5- -  -  -Series 6- -  -  - Total3 - $- $-  During the six months ended September 30, 2012 the Partnership did not dispose of any Operating Partnerships. There are significant differences between the equity method of accounting and the tax reporting of income and losses from Operating Partnership investments. The largest difference is the ability, for tax purposes, to deduct losses in excess of the Partnership’s investment in the Operating Partnership. As a result, the amount of gain recognized for tax purposes may be significantly higher than the gain recorded in the financial statements.  The Partnership's fiscal year ends March 31st of each year, while all the Operating Partnerships' fiscal years are the calendar year. Pursuant to the provisions of each Operating Partnership Agreement, financial results for each of the Operating Partnerships are provided to the Partnership within 45 days after the close of each Operating Partnership's quarterly period. Accordingly, the current financial results available for the Operating Partnerships are for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
