                  BRAUVIN REAL ESTATE FUND L.P. 5
                 (a Delaware limited partnership)

                              PART I

Item 1. Description of Business.

  Brauvin Real Estate Fund L.P. 5 (the "Partnership") is a Delaware
limited partnership formed in 1985 whose business has been devoted
exclusively to acquiring, operating, holding for investment and
disposing of existing office buildings, shopping centers and
industrial and retail commercial buildings, all in greater
metropolitan areas.

  The General Partners originally intended to dispose of the
Partnership's properties approximately five to eight years after
acquisition of each property, with a view toward liquidation of the
Partnership.  Due to current real estate market conditions and
economic trends the General Partners instead believe it to be in
the best interest of the Partnership to retain the properties until
such time as the General Partners reasonably believe it is
appropriate to dispose of the Partnership's properties.  In order
to make this determination, the General Partners periodically
evaluate market conditions.  However, since the amended and
restated limited partnership agreement (the "Agreement") provides
that the Partnership shall terminate December 31, 2025, unless
sooner terminated, the General Partners shall in no event dispose
of the properties after that date.

  As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership had acquired one rental
property, a 42% interest in a joint venture which acquired a second
rental property and a 53% interest in a joint venture which
acquired a third rental property.  A fourth rental property which
the Partnership had acquired a 54% interest in a joint venture was
foreclosed upon on May 15, 1995 and the joint venture was
terminated and dissolved in 1996.  The Partnership will not
purchase any additional properties.  Operations currently consist
of operating the real estate properties which have been managed by
Brauvin Management Company (an affiliate of the General Partners). 
The focus of property management activities has been improvement in
the economic performance of the properties with the goal of
maximizing value to the Partnership upon disposition.

  The Partnership has no employees.

Market Conditions/Competition

  The Partnership faces active competition in all aspects of its
business and must compete with entities which own properties
similar in type to those owned by the Partnership.  Competition
exists in such areas as attracting and retaining creditworthy
tenants, financing capital improvements and eventually selling
properties.  Many of the factors affecting the ability of the
Partnership to compete are beyond the Partnership's control, such
as softened markets caused by an oversupply of similar rental
facilities, declining performance in the economy in which a
property is located, population shifts, reduced availability and
increased cost of financing, changes in zoning laws or changes in
patterns of the needs of users.  The marketability of the
properties may also be affected by prevailing interest rates and
existing tax laws.  The Partnership has retained ownership of its
properties for periods longer than anticipated at acquisition. 

  Market conditions have weakened in several markets resulting in
lower cash flows than were originally anticipated.  The Partnership
strives to maximize economic occupancy and, as such, must adjust
rents to attract and retain tenants.  One measure of a market's
relative strength or weakness is the current rental rate demanded
by non-anchor tenants.  These rates are for tenants who generally
sign leases of three to five years and are an indicator of the
"spot" rental market.  The average rental rates for non-anchor
tenants at Sabal Palm in Palm Bay, Florida have declined from
approximately $13.71 per square foot in 1993 to approximately
$10.25 per square foot in 1997  Similarly, the average rental rates
for non-anchor tenants at Strawberry Fields in West Palm Beach,
Florida have declined from approximately $12.21 per square foot in
1993 to approximately $8.69 per square foot in 1997.  Non-anchor
tenant average rental rates, expressed per square foot per year,
have increased at the Crown Point property located in Kingsport,
Tennessee, from approximately $8.90 per square foot in 1993 to
approximately $10.73 per square foot in 1997.  However, the
Partnership has not benefitted greatly from these increases due to
the existence of several leases that were negotiated in prior
years.  

  The Partnership, by virtue of its ownership of real estate, is
subject to federal and state laws and regulations covering various
environmental issues.  Management of the Partnership retains the
services of third parties who hold themselves out to be experts in
the field to assess a wide range of environmental issues and
conduct tests for environmental contamination.  Management believes
that all real estate owned by the Partnership is in full compliance
with applicable environmental laws and regulations.

Item 2. Description of Properties.

  The following is a discussion of the rental properties owned and
operated by the Partnership.  For the purpose of the information
disclosed in this section, the following terms are defined as
follows:

   Occupancy Rate: The occupancy rate is defined as the occupied
   square footage at December 31, divided by the total square
   footage excluding square footage of outparcels, if any.

   Average Annual Base Rent Per Square Foot: The average annual
   base rent per square foot is defined as the total effective base
   rental income for the year divided by the average square feet
   occupied excluding outparcels, if any.

   Average Square Feet Occupied: The average square feet occupied
   is calculated by averaging the occupied square feet at the
   beginning of the year with the occupied square feet at the end
   of the year excluding outparcels, if any.

  In the opinion of the General Partners, the Partnership has
provided for adequate insurance coverage of its real estate
investment properties.

  During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Partnership owned
the properties described below:

(a) Crown Point Shopping Center ("Crown Point")

  On September 12, 1985, the Partnership acquired Crown Point, an
approximately 71,500 square foot shopping center located in
Kingsport, Sullivan County, Tennessee.  Crown Point is composed of
a main building, constructed in two phases, and two outparcel
buildings of approximately 6,500 square feet.  Phase I of Crown
Point and one outparcel building were completed in 1984.  Phase II
of Crown Point and the other outparcel building were completed in
1985.  The anchor tenant is a Food City grocery.  Burger King, a
division of Grand Metropolitan PLC, is located on one of the
outparcel buildings which is also owned by the Partnership.  Crown
Point was 100% occupied at December 31, 1997.

  The Partnership purchased Crown Point for $5,341,696 consisting
of approximately $1,775,000 paid in cash at closing and the balance
by assuming an existing first mortgage loan of $3,566,696.  The
lender provided the first mortgage loan through the sale of tax-
exempt bonds.  The loan had a 30-year term and bore interest at the
rate of 9.69% per annum.  On December 28, 1995, the loan balance
was paid in full when the Crown Point property was refinanced with
NationsBanc Mortgage Capital Corporation.  The refinancing resulted
in a $3,275,000 non-recourse loan with a fixed interest rate of
7.55%.  The outstanding mortgage balance encumbered by the property
is $3,130,020 at December 31, 1997.  The outstanding mortgage
balance is currently being amortized based on a twenty year term
and has a maturity of January 1, 2003.

  The occupancy rate and average annual base rent per square foot
at December 31, 1997 and 1996 were as follows:

                             1997      1996
Occupancy Rate               100%       98%

  Crown Point has two tenants which individually occupy ten percent
or more of the rentable square footage.  The following is a summary
of the tenant rent roll at December 31, 1997:

(b) Strawberry Fields Shopping Center ("Strawberry Fields")

  On December 12, 1985, the Partnership and Brauvin Real Estate
Fund L.P. 4 ("BREF 4"), an affiliated public real estate limited
partnership, formed a joint venture (the "Strawberry Joint
Venture") to purchase Strawberry Fields located in West Palm Beach,
Florida for $9,875,000.  The Partnership has a 42% interest in the
joint venture which owns Strawberry Fields and BREF 4 has a 58%
interest in the joint venture which owns Strawberry Fields.  The
purchase was funded with $3,875,000 cash at closing and $6,000,000
from the proceeds of a first mortgage loan.

  In February 1993, the Strawberry Joint Venture finalized a
refinancing of the first mortgage loan on Strawberry Fields (the
"Refinancing") with the lender.  The Refinancing became effective
retroactive to October 1992.  Due to the Refinancing, the interest
rate was reduced to 9% with monthly payments of interest only from
October 1992 through November 1995.  The Partnership had the option
to extend the term of the loan and make monthly payments of
principal and interest from December 1995 through November 1998, if
it is not in default of the terms of the Refinancing.  On September
18, 1995, the Strawberry Joint Venture notified Lutheran
Brotherhood (the "Strawberry Lender") that it would exercise its
option to extend the term of the Strawberry Fields loan from the
original maturity of November 1, 1995 to December 1, 1998.  The
terms of the extension called for all provisions of the loan to
remain the same except for an additional monthly principal payment
of $12,500.  Effective November 1, 1995, the Strawberry Joint
Venture and the Strawberry Lender agreed to modify the loan by
reducing the interest rate to 7.5% for November 1, 1995 through
October 31, 1997 and by reducing the monthly principal payment to
$12,000.  Commencing November 1, 1997 and through the maturity
date, December 1, 1998, the interest rate reverted to the original
9.0% rate.  The outstanding mortgage balance encumbered by the
property was $5,650,707 at December 31, 1997.

  Strawberry Fields is a neighborhood retail development
constructed on an 11.87 acre site in 1985.  Strawberry Fields was
initially anchored by Florida Choice, a combination food, drug and
general merchandise chain.  In 1987, the Kroger Company ("Kroger")
purchased Family Mart, the original lessee, and renamed the store. 
Kroger then closed the Florida Choice store in November 1988, 
however, the original lease terms remained in effect and Kroger
continued to pay rent.  Although Kroger is obligated to continue to
pay rent through March 31, 2005, the Strawberry Joint Venture has 
located and approved a sublease for a replacement tenant, Syms, a
national discount clothing retailer, to sublease the space for the
remainder of the original lease term.  Strawberry Fields' main
building contains 101,614 square feet of retail space and is
complemented by two outparcel sites plus an older 5,400 square foot
Uniroyal tire and automotive outlet.  The outparcel sites are
leased to Taco Bell, a division of Tricon Global, and Flagler
National Bank.  Strawberry Fields was 86% occupied at December 31,
1997.

  With the exception of Kroger, all leases at Strawberry Fields are
net with each tenant paying its pro rata share of operating
expenses.  Local tenant leases and outparcel ground leases provide
for the base rent to be increased in accordance with the Consumer
Price Index.  Even though Florida Choice has vacated the space and
the space has been sublet to Syms it is still required to pay any
increases in property taxes and insurance above the level incurred
in 1986 (the first year of operation).  Syms is not required to
share in the operating expenses.

  The occupancy rate and average annual base rent per square foot
at December 31, 1997 and 1996 were as follows:

                             1997      1996

  Strawberry Fields has one tenant which occupies ten percent or
more of the rentable square footage.  The following is a summary of
the tenant rent roll at December 31, 1997:

(c) Sabal Palm Square ("Sabal Palm")

  On October 31, 1986, the Partnership and BREF 4 formed a joint
venture to purchase Sabal Palm, a shopping center in Palm Bay,
Florida, for $5,924,000.  The Partnership has a 53% interest and
BREF 4 has a 47% interest in the joint venture which owns Sabal
Palm.  The purchase was funded with $2,724,000 cash at closing and
a $3,200,000 interim loan.  On February 19, 1987, the joint venture
obtained a first mortgage loan in the amount of $3,200,000 from an
unaffiliated lender.  The loan was payable with interest only at
9.5% per annum until February 1992 and now requires payments of
principal and interest based on a 30-year amortization schedule. 

  Sabal Palm was required to make a balloon mortgage payment in
February 1997.  Prior to the scheduled maturity of the First
Mortgage Loan, the lender granted Sabal Palm an extension until
April 1, 1997.  On March 31, 1997, Sabal Palm obtained a first
mortgage loan in the amount of $3,200,000 (the "First Mortgage
Loan") secured by its real estate, from NationsBanc Mortgage
Capital Corporation.  The First Mortgage Loan bears interest at the
rate of 8.93% per annum, is amortized over a 25-year period,
requires monthly payments of principal and interest of
approximately $26,700 and matures on March 26, 2002.  A portion of
the proceeds of the First Mortgage Loan, approximately $3,077,000,
were used to retire Sabal Palm's existing mortgage from Lincoln
National Pension Insurance Company.  The outstanding mortgage
balance encumbered by the property was $3,179,537 at December 31,
1997.

  The Partnership consolidated the Sabal Palm Joint Venture and has
recorded a minority interest balance to recognize the 47% interest
of BREF 4.

  Sabal Palm is a neighborhood shopping center consisting of
approximately 89,000 square feet of retail space situated on
approximately 9.7 acres of land.  Sabal Palm was constructed in
1985 and is anchored by a Winn Dixie food store and Walgreens. 
Winn-Dixie completed an approximately 6,500 square foot expansion
in the fourth quarter of 1992.  Sabal Palm has several outparcels,
which are not owned by the Partnership, but which add to the
center's appearance and customer activity. Sabal Palm was 95%
occupied at December 31, 1997.

  In addition, in the first quarter of 1998, the Partnership has
become aware that both Winn-Dixie and Walgreens may vacate their
respective spaces prior to their lease termination dates.  Although 
the Partnership has not been given official notice of this
potential event, the General Partners believe that there is a
likelihood that these tenants will vacate.  The General Partners
are working with these tenants to determine their intent and the
most beneficial steps to be taken by the Partnership in response.

  The occupancy rate and average annual base rental per square foot
at December 31, 1997 and 1996 were as follows:

                                 1997     1996

Rental Per Square Foot           $6.32   $6.37                               

  Sabal Palm has two tenants which individually occupy ten percent
or more of the net rentable square feet.  The following is a
summary of the tenant rent roll at December 31, 1997:

                            Annual    Lease

Risks of Ownership

  The possibility exists that the tenants of the Partnership's
properties may be unable to fulfill their obligations pursuant to
the terms of the leases, including making base rent payments or
percentage rent payments to the Partnership.  Such defaults by one
or more of the tenants could have an adverse effect on the
financial situation of the Partnership.  Furthermore, the
Partnership may be unable to replace these tenants due to
competition in the market at the time any vacancy occurs. 
Additionally, there are costs to the Partnership when replacing
tenants such as leasing commissions and tenant improvements.  Such
improvements may require expenditure of Partnership funds otherwise
available for distribution.

Item 5. Market for the Issuer's Limited Partnership Interests 
        and Related Security Holder Matters.

  At December 31, 1997, there were 798 Limited Partners in the
Partnership.  There is currently no established public trading
market for the Units and it is not anticipated that a public market
for the Units will develop.  Bid prices quoted by "partnership
exchanges" vary widely and are not considered a reliable indication
of market value.  Neither the Partnership nor Brauvin Ventures,
Inc. (the "Corporate General Partner") will redeem or repurchase
outstanding Units.

  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, there are restrictions
on the ability of the Limited Partners to transfer their Units.  In
all cases, the General Partners must consent to any substitution of
a Limited Partner.

  There were no cash distributions to Limited Partners for 1997 
and 1996.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

General 

  Certain statements in this Annual Report that are not historical
fact constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Discussions
containing forward-looking statements may be found in this section
and in the section entitled "Description of Business."  Without
limiting the foregoing, words such as "anticipates", "expects",
"intends", "plans" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements.  These statements are subject to a
number of risks and uncertainties.  Actual results could differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. 
The Partnership undertakes no obligation to update these forward-
looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances.

Year 2000

  In 1997, the Partnership initiated the conversion from its
existing accounting software to a program that is year 2000
compliant.  Management has determined that the year 2000 issue will
not pose significant operational problems for its computer system. 
All costs associated with this conversion are being expensed as
incurred, and are not material.

  Also in 1997, management of the Partnership initiated formal
communications with all of its significant third party vendors,
service providers and financial institutions to determine the
extent to which the Partnership is vulnerable to those third
parties failure to remedy their own year 2000 issue.  There can be
no guarantee that the systems of these third parties will be timely
converted and would not have an adverse effect on the Partnership. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  The Partnership intends to satisfy its short-term liquidity needs
through cash flow from the properties.  Long-term liquidity needs
are expected to be satisfied through refinancing of the mortgages
when they mature. 

  The anchor tenant at Crown Point is Food City.  The overall 
occupancy level at Crown Point increased to 100% at December 31,
1997 compared to 98% at December 31, 1996.  The Partnership is
continuing to work to sustain the occupancy level of Crown Point.

   On December 28, 1995, the loan balance of the acquisition
financing was paid in full when the Crown Point property was
refinanced with NationsBanc Mortgage Capital Corporation.  The
refinancing resulted in a $3,275,000 non-recourse loan with a fixed
interest rate of 7.55% and a maturity of January 1, 2003. 

  The Strawberry Joint Venture secured a replacement tenant, Syms,
a national discount clothing retailer, to sublease the Kroger space
at Strawberry Fields.  Syms opened for business in October 1992 and
has signed a sublease for the remainder of the original lease term
which expires March 31, 2005.  Customer traffic at Strawberry
Fields has increased with the draw of Syms, making vacant space
more marketable.   The property has shown an improvement due to the
occupancy increase from 78% at December 31, 1994 to 86% at December
31, 1997.  The Strawberry Joint Venture is aggressively marketing
the property having engaged a prominent local brokerage firm to
assist the Strawberry Joint Venture's on-site leasing
representative in the marketing of the shopping center.

  On September 18, 1995, the Strawberry Joint Venture notified the
Strawberry Lender that it would exercise its option to extend the
term of the Strawberry Fields loan from the original maturity of
November 1, 1995 to December 1, 1998.  The terms of the extension
called for all provisions of the loan to remain the same except for
an additional monthly principal payment of $12,500.  Effective
November 1, 1995, the Strawberry Joint Venture and the Strawberry
Lender agreed to modify the loan by reducing the interest rate to
7.5% for November 1, 1995 through October 31, 1997 and by reducing
the monthly principal payment to $12,000.  As of November 1, 1997
and through the maturity date, December 1, 1998, the interest rate
will revert to the original 9.0% rate.

  At Sabal Palm, the Partnership and its joint venture partner are
working to improve the occupancy level of Sabal Palm which stood at
95% as of December 31, 1997.  Although the Sabal Palm retail market
appears to be overbuilt, the occupancy level of the building has
stayed relatively constant and it has generated positive cash flow
since its acquisition in 1986.   

  In addition, in the first quarter of 1998, the Partnership has
become aware that both Winn-Dixie and Walgreens may vacate their
respective spaces prior to their lease termination dates.  Although 
the Partnership has not been given official notice of this
potential event, the General Partners believe that there is a
likelihood that these tenants will vacate.  The General Partners
are working with these tenants to determine their intent and the
most beneficial steps to be taken by the Partnership in response.
  
  Sabal Palm was required to make a balloon mortgage payment in
February 1997.  Prior to the scheduled maturity of the First
Mortgage Loan, the lender granted Sabal Palm an extension until
April 1, 1997.  On March 31, 1997, Sabal Palm obtained a first
mortgage loan in the amount of $3,200,000 (the "First Mortgage
Loan"), secured by its real estate, from NationsBanc Mortgage
Capital Corporation.  The First Mortgage Loan bears interest at the
rate of 8.93% per annum, is amortized over a 25-year period,
requires monthly payments of principal and interest of
approximately $26,700 and matures on March 26, 2002.  A portion of
the proceeds of the First Mortgage Loan, approximately $3,077,000,
were used to retire Sabal Palm's existing mortgage from Lincoln
National Pension Insurance Company.

  The General Partners expect to distribute proceeds from operating
cash flow, if any, and from the sale of real estate to Limited
Partners in a manner that is consistent with the investment
objectives of the Partnership.  Management of the Partnership
believes that cash needs may arise from time to time which will
have the effect of reducing distributions to Limited Partners to
amounts less than would be available from refinancing or sale
proceeds.  These cash needs include, among other things,
maintenance of working capital reserves in compliance with the
Agreement as well as payments for major repairs, tenant
improvements and leasing commissions in support of real estate
operations.

Results of Operations

  The Partnership's revenue and expenses are affected primarily by
the operations of the properties.  Property operations, and in
particular the components of income, demand for space and rental
rates are, to a large extent, determined by local and national
market conditions.  These market conditions, all beyond the control
of the Partnership and its General Partners, have affected the real
estate industry since the late 1980's and have combined to cause
severe economic hardships for real estate owners.  Some of the
specific market conditions are as follows:

  *     The savings and loan crisis resulted in the creation of
        the Resolution Trust Corp. (RTC).  The RTC sponsored
        auctions where large blocks of properties were sold at
        distressed prices.  The low price paid by the new owners
        enabled them to reduce asking rental rates resulting in
        significantly lower market rents for all competing
        properties.

  *     The emergence of  "Category Killer" retailers who occupied
        large "Box" spaces in new developments known as "Power
        Centers" attracted tenants from the smaller and more
        traditional "Community Centers" resulting in increased
        vacancies and downward pressure on market rental rates.

  *     The continuing softness in retail sales has resulted in
        store closings.  This has in turn resulted in increased
        vacancies and an overall softness in demand for retail
        space which results in downward pressure on market rents.

  These conditions have generally adversely impacted the
Partnership's property economics.  Rental and occupancy rates have
generally improved over the past year at all remaining properties;
however, they remain below where they were when the properties were
acquired.  The specific impact of these economic conditions on 1997
and 1996 results are discussed in the section "Results of
Operations - 1997 Compared to 1996", below.

  The General Partners conduct an in-depth assessment of each
property's physical condition as well as a demographic analysis to
assess opportunities for increasing occupancy and rental rates and
decreasing operating costs.  In all instances, decisions concerning
restructuring of loan terms, reversions and subsequent operation of
the property are made with the intent of maximizing the potential
proceeds to the Partnership and, therefore, return of investment
and income to Limited Partners.

  In certain instances and under limited circumstances, management
of the Partnership entered into negotiations with lenders for the
purpose of restructuring the terms of loans to provide for debt
service levels that could be supported by operations of the
properties.  When negotiations are unsuccessful, management of the
Partnership considers the possibility of reverting the properties
to the first mortgage lender.  Foreclosure proceedings may require
6 to 24 months to conclude.

  An affiliate of the Partnership and the General Partners is
assigned responsibility for day-to-day management of the
properties.  The affiliate receives a combined management and
leasing fee which cannot exceed 6% of gross revenues generated by
the properties.  Management fee rates are determined by the extent
of services provided by the affiliate versus services that may be
provided by third parties, i.e., independent leasing agents.  In
all instances, fees paid by the Partnership to the property
management affiliate are, in the General Partners opinion,
comparable to fees that would be paid to independent third parties.

Results of Operations - Years Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996
(Amounts rounded to 000's)

  The Partnership generated net income of $51,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1997 as compared to net income of $62,000 for
the same period in 1996.  The $11,000 decrease in net income
resulted primarily from the net of a $23,000 decrease in total
income, a $19,000 increase in total expenses and a $36,000 decrease
in the minority interest's share in Sabal Palm Joint Venture's net
income.

  Total income for the year ended December 31, 1997 was $1,497,000
as compared to $1,520,000 for the same period in 1996, a decrease
of $23,000.  The $23,000 decrease resulted primarily from a
decrease in tenant expense reimbursements at Sabal Palm.  

  For the year ended December 31, 1997, total expenses were
$1,394,000 as compared to $1,375,000 for the same period in 1996,
an increase of $19,000.  The $19,000 increase in total expenses
resulted primarily from an increase in general and administrative
expense at Sabal Palm, due to higher insurance premiums as a result
of the property's location in a hurricane area.  Additionally,
landscaping expense increased at Sabal Palm in an effort to attract
potential tenants to the center.

Results of Operations - 1996 Compared to 1995
(Amounts rounded to nearest 000's)

   The Partnership had net income of $62,000 in 1996 compared to
net income of $136,000 in 1995.  The $74,000 decrease in net income
resulted primarily from the decrease in the Partnership's share of
income due to the foreclosure on May 15, 1995 of one of the joint
venture properties.

  Total income for the Partnership was $1,520,000 in 1996 compared
to $1,902,000 in 1995.  The decrease of $382,000 resulted primarily
from the foreclosure of the joint venture property on May 15, 1995. 
Total income for the such property for the year ended December 31,
1995 was $343,000.  Total income for the remaining properties was
$1,520,000 in 1997 compared to $1,559,000 in 1995.  The $39,000
decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in rental income at
Sabal Palm.  The decrease in rental income at Sabal Palm was caused
by a decrease in occupancy from 99% at December 31, 1995 to 92% at
December 31, 1996.

  Total expenses were $1,375,000 in 1996 compared to $4,544,000 in
1996.  The $3,169,000 decrease in total expenses resulted primarily
from the $2,702,000 provision for investment property impairment
for the property foreclosed in 1995.  Total operating expenses for
such property in 1995 were $372,000.  Total expenses for the
remaining properties were $1,375,000 in 1996 compared to $1,470,000
in 1995.  The $95,000 decrease in expenses resulted primarily from
a decrease in interest expense at Crown Point.  Interest expense
decreased as a result of the refinancing of the mortgage loan on
December 28, 1995 when the interest rate decreased from 9.69% to
7.55%.

Item 7. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

  See Index to Consolidated Financial Statements on Page F-1 of
this Form 10-KSB for consolidated financial statements where
applicable.

  The financial information required in Item 310(b) of Regulation
S-B is not applicable.

Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on
        Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

  On December 6, 1996, the Partnership dismissed Ernst & Young LLP
as its independent accountant.  Ernst & Young LLP's report on the
financial statements for either of the past two years did not
contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. 
The decision to change the Partnership's accountant was made at the
recommendation of the General Partners to reduce the costs
associated with the audit.  In the Partnership's fiscal years ended
1994 and 1995 and the subsequent interim period preceding the
dismissal there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or audit scope or procedure which would have caused
Ernst & Young LLP to make reference to the matter in their report. 
There were no reportable events as that term is described in Item
304 (a) (1) (iv) (B) of Regulation S-B.

  On December 6, 1996, the Partnership engaged Deloitte & Touche
LLP as its independent accountant.  The decision to engage Deloitte
& Touche LLP was made following consideration by the General
Partners.  Neither the Partnership (nor someone on its behalf)
consulted Deloitte & Touche LLP regarding:  (i) the application of
accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed
or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on
the Partnership's financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was
either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.

Item 10.  Executive Compensation.

  (a & b) The Partnership is required to pay certain fees, make
distributions and allocate a share of the profits and losses of the
Partnership to the Corporate General Partner or other affiliates as
described under the caption "Compensation Table" on pages 11 to 13
of the Partnership's Prospectus, as supplemented, and the sections
of the Agreement entitled "Distributions of Operating Cash Flow",
"Allocation of Profits, Losses and Deductions", "Distribution of Net
Sale or Refinancing Proceeds" and "Compensation of General Partners
and Their Affiliates" on pages A-9 to A-13 of the Agreement attached
as Exhibit A to the Partnership's Prospectus.  The relationship of
the Corporate General Partner (and its directors and officers) to
its affiliates is set forth above in Item 9.  Reference is also made
to Notes 2 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
filed with this annual report for a description of such
distributions and allocations.

  The General Partners received a share of Partnership income for
1997 and 1996.

  An affiliate of the General Partners of the Partnership is
reimbursed for its direct expenses relating to the administration
of the Partnership.

  The Partnership does not have any employees and therefore there
is no compensation paid.

  (c - h) Not applicable.


Item 11.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
          Management.

  (a)     No person or group is known by the Partnership to own
          beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding Units of the
          Partnership.

  (b)     The officers and directors of the Corporate General
          Partner do not, individually or as a group, own any
          Units.

  (c)     The Partnership is not aware of any arrangements, the
          operations of which may result in a change of control of
          the Partnership.

  No officer or director of the Corporate General Partner possesses
a right to acquire beneficial ownership of Units.  The General
Partners will share in the profits, losses and distributions of the
Partnership as outlined in Item 10, "Executive Compensation."

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

  (a & b) The Partnership is entitled to engage in various
transactions involving affiliates of the Corporate General Partner
of the Partnership, as described in the section of the Partnership's
Prospectus, as supplemented, entitled "Compensation Table" and
"Conflicts of Interest" at pages 11 to 16 and the section of the
Agreement entitled "Rights, Duties and Obligations of General
Partners" at pages A-15 to A-18 of the Agreement.  The relationship
of the Corporate General Partner to its affiliates is set forth in
Item 10. Cezar M. Froelich resigned as an individual general partner
of the Partnership effective 90 days after August 14, 1997 but
remains a shareholder of the Corporate General Partner.  He is also
a principal of the law firm of Shefsky &  Froelich Ltd., which firm
acted as securities and real estate counsel to the Partnership. 
Reference is made to Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements filed with this annual report for a summary of
transactions paid to affiliates.
          
  As a precondition to the new financing at Crown Point, the lender
required that ownership of the property reside in a single purpose
entity ("SPE").  To accommodate the lender's requirements, ownership
of the property was transferred to the SPE, Brauvin/Crown Point
L.P., which is owned 99% by the Partnership and 1% by an affiliate
of the General Partners.  Distributions of Brauvin/Crown Point L.P.
are subordinated to the Partnership which effectively precludes any
distributions from the SPE to affiliates of the General Partners. 
The creation of Brauvin/Crown Point L.P. did not affect the
Partnership's economic ownership of the Crown Point property. 
Furthermore, this change in ownership structure had no material
effect on the financial statements of the Partnership.

  (c) Not applicable.

  (d) There have been no transactions with promoters.

                        INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Partners of
Brauvin Real Estate Fund L.P. 5

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Brauvin Real Estate Fund L.P. 5 (a limited partnership) and
subsidiary as of December 31, 1997, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, partners' capital, and cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.  These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Brauvin
Real Estate Fund L.P. 5 and subsidiary at December 31, 1997, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996

(1)  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  ORGANIZATION

  Brauvin Real Estate Fund L.P. 5 (the "Partnership") was
organized on June 28, 1985.  The General Partners of the
Partnership are Brauvin Ventures, Inc. and Jerome J. Brault. On
August 8, 1997, Mr. Cezar M. Froelich resigned as an Individual
General Partner effective 90 days from August 14, 1997.  Brauvin
Ventures Inc. is owned by A.G.E. Realty Corporation Inc. (50%) and
by Messrs. Jerome J. Brault (beneficially) (25%) and Cezar M.
Froelich (25%).  A. G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. and Brauvin Securities,
Inc., affiliates of the General Partners, were the selling agents
of the Partnership.  The Partnership is managed by an affiliate of
the General Partners.  

  The Partnership was formed on June 28, 1985 and filed a
Registration Statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission which became effective on March 1, 1985.  The
sale of the minimum of $1,200,000 of limited partnership interests
of the Partnership (the "Units") necessary for the Partnership to
commence operations was achieved on June 28, 1985.  The
Partnership's offering closed on February 28, 1986.  A total of
$9,914,500 of Units were subscribed for and issued between March
1, 1985 and February 28, 1986 pursuant to the Partnership's public
offering.

  The Partnership has acquired directly or through joint ventures
the land and buildings underlying Crown Point, Strawberry Fields
and Sabal Palm shopping centers.

  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Management's Use of Estimates

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Accounting Method

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared using the accrual method of accounting.

     Rental Income

     Rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the
life of the related leases.  Differences between rental income
earned and amounts due per the respective lease agreements are
credited or charged, as applicable, to deferred rent receivable.

     Federal Income Taxes

     Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the
Partnership's income and losses are reportable by the partners on
their respective income tax returns.  Accordingly, no provision is
made for Federal income taxes in the financial statements.

     Consolidation of Special Purpose Entity

     The Partnership has one special purpose entity ("SPE"),
Brauvin/Crown Point L.P., which is  owned 99% by the Partnership
and 1% by an affiliate of the General Partners.  Distributions from
the SPE are subordinated to the Partnership which effectively
precludes any distributions from the SPE to affiliates of the
General Partners.  The creation of the SPE did not affect the
Partnership's economic ownership of the property.  Furthermore,
this change in ownership structure had no material effect on the
financial statements of the Partnership.

     Consolidation of Joint Venture Partnership
     
     The Partnership owns a 53% interest in the Sabal Palm Joint
Venture which owns Sabal Palm Shopping Center.   The accompanying
financial statements have consolidated 100% of the assets,
liabilities, operations and partners' capital of Sabal Palm Joint
Venture.  The minority interests of the consolidated joint venture
is adjusted for the respective joint venture partner's share of
income or loss and any cash contributions from or distributions to
the joint venture partner, if any.  All intercompany items and
transactions have been eliminated.

     Investment in Joint Venture Partnership

     The Partnership owns a 42% equity interest in a Strawberry
Fields Joint Venture (see Note 6).  Strawberry Fields is reported
as an investment in an affiliated joint venture.  The accompanying
financial statements include the investment in Strawberry Fields
Joint Venture using the equity method of accounting.

     Investment in Real Estate

     The Partnership's rental properties are stated at cost including
acquisition costs, leasing commissions, tenant improvements and are
net of provision for impairment.  Depreciation and amortization are
recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives
of the properties, which approximate 31.5 years, and the term of
the applicable leases, respectively.  All of the Partnership's
properties are subject to liens under first mortgages (see Note 3). 

     In 1995, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of"
(SFAS 121).  In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 121, the
Partnership performed an analysis of its long-lived assets, and the
Partnership's management determined that there were no events or
changes in circumstances that indicated that the carrying amount
of the assets may not be recoverable at December 31, 1997 and 1996. 
Accordingly, no impairment loss has been recorded in the
accompanying financial statements for the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt
instruments with an original maturity within three months from date
of purchase.

     Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

   Disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments
is made in accordance with the requirements of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair
Value of Financial Instruments."  The estimated fair value amounts
have been determined by using available market information and
appropriate valuation methodologies.  However, considerable
judgement is necessarily required in interpreting market data to
develop estimates of fair value.

     The fair value estimates presented herein are based on
information available to management as of December 31, 1997, but
may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts that the
Partnership could realize in a current market exchange.  The use
of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have
a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

     The carrying amounts of the following items are reasonable
estimates of fair value: cash and cash equivalents; rent
receivable; escrow deposits;  accounts payable and accrued
expenses; tenant security deposits and due to/from affiliates.  The
mortgage notes payable at December 31, 1997 have a fair value of
approximately $ 6303000   based upon the current interest rates
offered for debt of similar instruments in the market.

(2)  PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

     The Partnership Agreement (the "Agreement") provides that 99% of
the net profits and losses from operations of the Partnership for
each fiscal year shall be allocated to the Limited Partners and 1%
of net profits and losses from operations shall be allocated to the
General Partners.  The net profit of the Partnership from the sale
or other disposition of a Partnership property shall be allocated
as follows:  first, there shall be allocated to the General
Partners the greater of:  (i) 1% of such net profits; or (ii) the
amount distributable to the General Partners as Net Sale Proceeds
from such sale or other disposition, as defined in the Partnership
Agreement; and second, all remaining profits shall be allocated to
the Limited Partners.  The  net loss  of the Partnership from  any
sale or other disposition of a Partnership property shall be
allocated as follows:  99% of such net loss shall be allocated to
the Limited Partners and 1% of such net loss shall be allocated to
the General Partners.

     The Agreement provides that distributions of Operating Cash
Flow, as defined in the Agreement, shall be distributed 99% to the
Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners.  The receipt by
the General Partners of such 1% of Operating Cash Flow shall be
subordinated to the receipt by the Limited Partners of Operating
Cash Flow equal to a 10% per annum, cumulative, non-compounded
return on Adjusted Investment, as such term is defined in the
Agreement (the "Preferential Distribution").  In the event the full
Preferential Distribution is not made in any year (herein referred
to as a "Preferential Distribution Deficiency") and Operating Cash
Flow is available in following years in excess of the Preferential
Distribution for said years, then the Limited Partners shall be
paid such excess Operating Cash Flow until they have paid any
unpaid Preferential Distribution Deficiency from prior years.  Net
Sale Proceeds, as defined in the Agreement, received by the
Partnership shall be distributed as follows:  (a) first, to the
Limited Partners until such time as the Limited Partners have been
paid an amount equal to the amount of their Adjusted Investment;
(b) second, to the Limited Partners until such time as the Limited
Partners have been paid an amount equal to any unpaid Preferential
Distribution Deficiency; and (c) third, 85% of any remaining Net
Sale Proceeds to the Limited Partners, and the remaining 15% of the
Net Sale Proceeds to the General Partners.  The Preferential
Distribution Deficiency at December 31, 1997 equaled $9,838,656.

(3)  MORTGAGES NOTES PAYABLE

     Mortgages payable at December 31, 1997 consist of the following:

                                          Interest       Date
                               1997         Rate         Due 
Crown Point Shopping
  Center (a)             $3,130,020        7.55%         1/03
Sabal Palm Square 
  Shopping Center (b)     3,179,537        8.93%         3/02
                         $6,309,557                        

  Each shopping center serves as collateral under its respective
nonrecourse debt obligation.

Maturities of the mortgages payable are as follows:

                                 1998          $  118,281           
                                 1999             128,086
                                 2000             137,877
                                 2001             150,124
                                 2002           3,138,289
                              Thereafter        2,636,900
                                               $6,309,557

  (a)  On December 28, 1995, the acquisition loan balance was paid
in full when Crown Point was refinanced by NationsBanc Mortgage
Capital Corporation.  The refinancing resulted in a $3,275,000 non
-recourse loan with a fixed interest rate of 7.55%, and amortization
based on a twenty year term with a maturity of January 1, 2003.

  As a precondition to the new financing, the Successor Lender
required that ownership of the property reside in a single purpose
entity ("SPE").  To accommodate the lender's requirements,
ownership of the property was transferred to the SPE, Brauvin/Crown
Point L.P., which is owned 99% by the Partnership and 1% by an
affiliate of the General Partners.  Distributions of Brauvin/Crown
Point L.P. are subordinated to the Partnership which effectively
precludes any distributions from the SPE to affiliates of the
General Partners.  The creation of Brauvin/Crown Point L.P. did not
affect the Partnership's economic ownership of the Crown Point
property.  Furthermore, this change in ownership structure had no
material effect on the financial statements of the Partnership.

  The carrying value of Crown Point at December 31, 1997 was
approximately $4,284,000.

  (b)  On February 19, 1987, the Partnership and its joint venture
partner obtained a first mortgage loan in the amount of $3,200,000
from an unaffiliated lender.  The loan was payable with interest
only at 9.5% per annum until February 1992 and now requires
payments of principal and interest based on a 30-year amortization
schedule. 

  Sabal Palm was required to make a balloon mortgage payment in
February 1997. Prior to the scheduled maturity of the First
Mortgage Loan, the lender granted Sabal Palm an extension until
April 1, 1997.  On March 31, 1997, Sabal Palm obtained a first
mortgage loan in the amount of $3,200,000 (the "First Mortgage
Loan") secured by its real estate, from NationsBanc Mortgage
Capital Corporation.  The First Mortgage Loan bears interest at the
rate of 8.93% per annum, is amortized over a 25-year period,
requires monthly payments of principal and interest of
approximately $26,700 and matures on March 26, 2002.  A portion of
the proceeds of the First Mortgage Loan, approximately $3,077,000,
were used to retire Sabal Palm's existing mortgage from Lincoln
National Pension Insurance Company. The outstanding mortgage
balance encumbered by the property is $3,179,537 at December 31,
1997.

  In addition, in the first quarter of 1998, the Partnership has
become aware that both Winn-Dixie and Walgreens may vacate their
respective spaces prior to their lease termination dates.  Although 
the Partnership has not been given official notice of this
potential event, the General Partners believe that there is a
likelihood that these tenants will vacate.  The General Partners
are working with these tenants to determine their intent and the
most beneficial steps to be taken by the Partnership in response.
  
  The carrying value of Sabal Palm approximated $4,851,000 at
December 31, 1997. 

(4)    TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

  Fees and other expenses paid or payable to the General Partners
or its affiliates for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996
were as follows:

                                     1997            1996             
  Management fees                  $ 85,464       $ 91,330               
  Reimbursable office
     expenses                        93,091         82,225               
  Legal fees                            377          4,832               

  The Partnership believes the amounts paid to affiliates are
representative of amounts which would have been paid to independent
parties for similar services.  As of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
the Partnership had made all payments to affiliates, except for
management fees of $6,188 and $0 and legal fees of $1,761 and
$2,108, respectively.  An amount of $35,700 due from affiliates at
December 31, 1997 represented an advance made to Strawberry Fields.

(5)  OPERATING LEASES

  The Partnership is the lessor in operating lease agreements with
tenants at its various properties.  The minimum future rental
income to be received on these operating leases (excluding
escalation amounts) is as follows:

       1998                      $  957,126
       1999                         780,748
       2000                         661,883
       2001                         614,391
       2002                         559,868
       Thereafter                 2,673,219
       Total                     $6,247,235

  Contingent rental income approximated $133,000 and $134,000, in
1997 and 1996, respectively.

  Collection of future rental income under these lease agreements
is subject to the financial stability of the underlying tenants. 
Minimum rentals received from Food City, the anchor tenant of Crown
Point, approximated 20.1% and 20.3% of rental income for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Minimum rentals
received from Winn Dixie and Walgreens, the anchor tenants of
Sabal, approximated 11.1% and 11.2% of rental income and 6.3% and
6.4% of rental income for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively.
