Significant differences among the accounting policies of the Company's operating
segments as compared to the Company's consolidated financial statements
principally involve the calculation and allocation of general and administrative
expenses.  Management evaluates the performance of the operating segments and
allocates resources to each of them based on their operating income and cash
flow.  The Company based reconciliation of expenses that are not reflected in
the segments is $2.2 million of general and administrative expenses in the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, and $1.6 million in 1998.  There are no
intersegment revenues and expenses and the Company conducts all of its business
in the United States.

unit Villa Piedra Apartments in Los Angeles, California, in the amount of $4.7
million, receiving net cash of $1.1 million after paying off $3.5 million in
mortgage debt, funding required escrows and the payment of various closing
costs.  The new mortgage bears interest at a variable rate, currently 8.18% per
annum, requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $35,664 and
matures in October 2002.  A mortgage brokerage and equity refinancing fee of
$47,000 was paid to BCM.

Also in October 1999, the Company sold the 177,563 sq. ft. Corporate Center in

        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
        ---------------------


Introduction
------------

The Company invests in real estate through direct ownership and partnerships and
invests in mortgage loans, including first, wraparound and junior mortgage
loans.  The Company is the successor to a business trust that was organized on
September 6, 1983, and commenced operations on January 31, 1984.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents aggregated $16.3 million at September 30, 1999,
compared with $10.5 million at December 31, 1998. The Company's principal
sources of cash have been and will continue to be from property operations,
proceeds from property sales, the collection of mortgage notes receivable and
borrowings. The Company anticipates that its cash on hand, as well as cash
generated from property operations, the sale of properties and the refinancing
of certain of its mortgage debt will be sufficient to meet all of the Company's
cash requirements including debt service obligations and expenditures for
property maintenance and improvements.

        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
-------------------------------

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $5.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, from $1.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998.  The primary factors affecting the Company's cash flow from
operations are discussed in the following paragraphs.

The Company's cash flow from property operations (rents collected less payments
for expenses applicable to rental income) increased to $28.0 million in 1999,
from $23.5 million in 1998.  Of this increase, $2.5 million was due to the
Company having acquired 29 properties during 1998 and 1999 and $2.5 million was
due to an increase in rental rates and a decrease in vacancies at the Company's
commercial and residential properties.  These increases were partially offset by
a decrease of $1.8 million due to seven properties being sold during 1998 and
1999.

Interest collected decreased to $289,000 in 1999, from $592,000 in 1998. The
decrease was due to eight mortgage notes receivable being collected in full in
1998 and 1999, the foreclosure of the collateral securing one note receivable in
1998 and the foreclosure of the collateral securing another note receivable
which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 1999.

Interest paid increased to $18.0 million in 1999, from $15.6 million in 1998.
This increase was due to the acquisition of 26 properties subject to debt,
refinancings of properties where the debt balance was increased and financings
obtained on two previously unencumbered properties during 1998 and 1999.  The
increase was partially offset by a decrease of $1.2 million due to the sale of
seven properties in 1998 and 1999.

Advisory and net income fee payments decreased to $2.1 million in 1999, from the
$2.8 million paid in 1998.  The decrease was due to the payment in 1998 of the
accrued fourth quarter 1997 net income fee of $1.0 million, no such fee being
earned by the advisor in 1998, and an additional $458,000 was due to an increase
in the advisory fee refund for 1998 received in the first quarter of 1999.
Under its advisory agreement with BCM, all or a portion of the annual advisory
fee must be refunded by the advisor if the operating expenses of the Company
exceed certain limits specified in the advisory agreement.

General and administrative expenses paid increased to $2.3 million in 1999, from
$1.8 million in 1998.  This increase was mainly due to an increase in legal and
other professional fees.

Distributions received from equity joint ventures' operating cash flow increased
to $376,000 in 1999, from $112,000 in 1998.  This increase is mainly due to a
decrease in vacancies at Tri-City's properties.

In February 1999, the Company sold the Mariner's Point Apartments in St.
Petersburg, Florida, receiving net cash of $2.6 million after paying off $3.9
million in mortgage debt and the payment of various closing costs.

Villas at Fairpark Apartments in Los Angeles, California, receiving net cash of
$847,000 after paying off $1.5 million in mortgage debt and the payment of
various closing costs.

On October 1, 1999, the $845,000 in debt secured by an assignment of the
Company's ownership interest in 4400, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company matured.  Such debt was not paid at maturity.  4400, Inc. owns three
apartments in Midland, Texas, secured by mortgages from the same lender totaling
$6.0 million.  The debt was not paid at maturity due to the lender's failure to
advance by October 1, 1999, an additional $1.5 million on the $6.0 million in
mortgages, as required by the loan agreement.  The lender has declared an event
of default as it relates to these mortgages.  The Company has commenced
litigation against such lender.  If the Company and the lender can not reach
agreement to restructure the debt, the Company will pay it off.

In October 1999, the Company refinanced the mortgage debt secured by the Villa
Piedra Apartments in Los Angeles, California, receiving net cash of $1.1 million
after paying off $3.5 million in mortgage debt and various closing costs and

notes receivable at least annually and whenever  events or a change in
circumstances indicate that impairment may exist.  Impairment is considered to
exist if, in the case of a property, the future cash

flow from the property (undiscounted and without interest) is less than the
carrying amount of the property.  For notes receivable, impairment is considered
to exist if it is probable that all amounts due under the terms of the note will
not be collected.  If impairment is found to exist, a provision for loss is
recorded by a charge against earnings. The mortgage note receivable review
includes an evaluation of the collateral property securing each note.  The
property review generally includes:  (1) selective property inspections; (2) a
review of the property's current rents compared to market rents; (3) a review of
the property's expenses; (4)  a review of maintenance requirements; (5) a review
of the property's cash flow; (6) discussions with the manager of the property;
and, (7) a review of properties in the surrounding area.

Results of Operations
---------------------

The Company had net income of $5.1 million and $13.0 million in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to net income of $7.4 million
and $8.0 million in the corresponding periods in 1998.  Net income in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1999, included $5.9 million and $16.0
million of gains on the sale of real estate.  Net income in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1998, included gains on sale of real estate of $9.9
million and $12.0 million.  Fluctuations in these and the other components of
revenue and expense between the 1998 and 1999 periods are discussed below.

Rents in the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, increased to $18.4
million and $57.6 million from $18.0 million and $51.4 million in 1998.  Of
these increases, $971,000 and $2.5 million were due to an increase in rental
rates and an increase in occupancy at the Company's commercial and residential
properties and $1.6 million and $7.3 million were due to the acquisition of 29
properties in 1998 and 1999.  These increases were partially offset by decreases
of $1.7 million and $3.8 million due to the sale of seven properties in 1998 and
1999 and $417,000 due to the leasing of the Company's four hotels effective July
1, 1999.  Rents are expected to continue to increase due to properties acquired
in 1998 and 1999.

Interest and other income decreased to $174,000 and $297,000 in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $200,000 and $593,000 in 1998.
The decrease was due to the collateral securing a mortgage note receivable being
foreclosed in 1998 and the collateral securing a note receivable expected to be
foreclosed in the fourth quarter of 1999.  Interest income for the remainder of
1999 is expected to be insignificant.

Property operations expense in the three and nine months ended September 30,
1999 decreased to $9.7 million and increased to $30.2 million from $10.1
million and $27.4 million in 1998.  The decrease for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 is due to the sale of seven properties in 1998 and 1999,
and the leasing of the Company's four hotels effective July 1, 1999 partially
offset by an increase of $795,000 from the

acquisition of 29 properties in 1998 and 1999 and an increase of $208,000 in
repairs and maintenance expenses.  The increase for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 is due to the acquisition of 29 properties in 1998 and 1999
partially offset by a decrease due to the sale of seven properties during 1998
and 1999.  Property operating expenses are expected to continue to increase due
to properties acquired in 1998 and 1999.

Interest expense increased to $6.3 million and $18.7 million in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $5.9 million and $16.9 million in
1998.  Of these increases, $903,000 and $2.9 million were due to the debt
incurred or assumed on 26 of the 29 properties acquired in 1998 and 1999 and
$107,000 and $406,000 due to refinancings where the debt balance was increased
and financing obtained on unencumbered properties.  These increases were
partially offset by decreases of $561,000 and $1.2 million due to the sale of
seven properties in 1998 and 1999.  Interest expense for the remainder of 1999
is expected to increase due to properties acquired on a leverage basis in 1998
and 1999.

Depreciation increased to $2.9 million and $8.7 million in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999, from $2.8 million and $7.9 million in 1998.  Of
these increases, $337,000 and $1.3 million were due to the acquisition of 23
income producing properties in 1998 and 1999 and $241,000 and $525,000, due to
depreciation of prior years capital and tenant improvements.  These increases
were partially offset by decreases of $440,000 and $972,000 due to seven
properties being sold during 1998 and 1999.  Depreciation is expected to
continue to increase during the remainder of 1999 as a result of the properties
acquired in 1998 and 1999.

Advisory fee increased to $765,000 and $2.2 million in the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999, from $671,000 and $1.9 million in 1998.  These
increases were due to an increase in the Company's gross assets, the basis for
such fee.  Advisory fees are expected to continue to increase with increases in
the Company's gross assets.

Net income fee increased to $396,000 and $1.1 million in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $604,000 and $651,000 in the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1998.  The net income fee is payable
to the Company's advisor based on 7.5% of the Company's net income.

General and administrative expenses increased to $962,000 and $2.2 million in
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $584,000 and $1.6
million in 1998.  These increases were mainly due to increases in legal and
other professional fees.

Equity in earnings of investees increased to $1.6 million and $2.1 million in
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, from a

loss of $90,000 and income of $342,000 in 1998.  The increases were mainly due
to gains on sale of real estate in the Tri-City joint venture.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company recognized
gains on sale of real estate of $5.9 million and $16.0 million as compared to
$9.9 million and $12.0 million in 1998.  Gains in the three months ended
September 30, 1999, included $675,000 from the sale of the Republic land and
$5.2 million from the sale of Park Longe Industrial Warehouse.  In addition,
gains in the nine months included $1.9 million from the sale of Mariner's Pointe
Apartments and $8.3 million from the sale of 74 New Montgomery Office Building,
respectively.  In the three months ended September 30, 1998, the Company
recognized gains on sale of real estate of $3.4 million on the sale of Northtown
Mall Shopping Center and $5.9 million from the sale of Chesapeake Ridge Office
Building.  In addition in the nine months ended September 30, 1998, a previously
deferred gain of $2.1 million was recognized on the sale of real estate in the
first quarter of 1998. Such gain had been deferred on a prior years sale on one
of the Company's properties until the financing provided by the Company was
collected.  In addition, gains in the nine months included $671,000 from the
collection of a mortgage note receivable written off as uncollectible in a prior
year.

Tax Matters
-----------

As more fully discussed in the Company's 1998 Form 10-K, the Company has elected
and, in the opinion of management, qualified to be  taxed as a Real Estate
Investment Trust ("REIT"), as defined under Sections 856 through 860 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code").  To continue to qualify
for federal taxation as a REIT under the Code, the Company is required to hold
at least 75% of the value of its total assets in real estate assets, government
securities, cash and cash equivalents at the close of each quarter of each
taxable year.  The Code also requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its
REIT taxable income, plus 95% of its net income from foreclosure property, all
as defined in Section 857 of the Code, on an annual basis to stockholders.

Inflation
---------

The effects of inflation on the Company's operations are not quantifiable.
Revenues from apartment operations tend to fluctuate proportionately with
inflationary increases and decreases in housing costs.  Fluctuations in the
rate of inflation also affect sales values of properties, and the ultimate
gain to be realized from property sales. To the extent that inflation affects
interest rates, the Company's earnings from short-term investments, the cost
of new financings as well as the cost of variable interest rate debt will be
affected.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
        ---------------------

Environmental Matters
---------------------

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, the Company may be potentially liable for removal or remediation
costs, as well as certain other potential costs, relating to hazardous or toxic
substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property)
where property-level managers have arranged for the removal, disposal or
treatment of hazardous or toxic substances.  In addition, certain environmental
laws impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials into the air,
and third parties may seek recovery for personal injury associated with such
materials.  Management is not aware of any environmental liability relating to
the above matters that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, assets or results of operations.

Year 2000
---------

BCM, the Company's advisor, has informed management that its computer hardware
operating system and computer software have been certified as year 2000
compliant.

Further, Carmel Realty Services, Ltd. ("Carmel, Ltd."), an affiliate of BCM,
that performs property management services for the Company's properties, has
informed management that effective January 1, 1999, it began using year 2000
compliant computer hardware and property management software for the Company's
commercial properties.  With regard to the Company's apartments, Carmel, Ltd.
has informed management that its subcontractors are also using year 2000
compliant computer hardware and property management software.

The Company has not incurred, nor does it expect to incur, any costs related to
its computer hardware and accounting and property management software being
modified, upgraded or replaced in order to make them year 2000 compliant.  Such
costs have been or will be borne by either BCM, Carmel, Ltd. or the property
management subcontractors of Carmel, Ltd.

Management has completed its evaluation of the Company's computer controlled
building systems, such as security, elevators, heating and cooling, etc., to
determine what systems are not year 2000 compliant. Management believes that
necessary modifications to such systems are insignificant and do not require
significant expenditures as such enhanced operating systems are readily
available.

The Company has or will have in place the year 2000 compliant systems that will
allow it to operate.  The risks the Company faces are that certain of its
vendors will not be able to supply goods or services and that financial
institutions and taxing authorities will not be able to accurately apply
payments made to them.  Management believes that other vendors are readily
available and that financial institutions and taxing authorities will, if
necessary, apply monies received manually.  The likelihood of the above having a
significant impact on the Company's operations is negligible.
