                             PART I

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

         AEI   Real  Estate  Fund  XV  Limited  Partnership  (the
"Partnership" or the "Registrant") is a limited partnership which
was  organized pursuant to the laws of the State of  Delaware  on
October  3,  1986.   The  registrant is  comprised  of  AEI  Fund
Management  86-A, Inc. (AFM) as Managing General Partner,  Robert
P.  Johnson,  the  President and sole director  of  AFM,  as  the
Individual  General Partner, and purchasers of partnership  units
as  Limited  Partners.  The Partnership offered for  sale  up  to
$7,500,000 of limited partnership interests (the "Units")  (7,500
Units  at  $1,000 per Unit) pursuant to a registration  statement
effective July 31, 1986. The Partnership commenced operations  on
October  3,  1986  when minimum subscriptions  of  1,300  Limited
Partnership  Units ($1,300,000) were accepted.  The Partnership's
offering   terminated  December  30,  1986   when   the   maximum
subscription   limit   of   7,500   Limited   Partnership   Units
($7,500,000) was reached.

        The Partnership was organized to acquire, initially on  a
debt-free   basis,  existing  and  newly  constructed  commercial
properties located in the United States, to lease such properties
to  tenants under triple net leases, to hold such properties  and
to  eventually sell such properties.  From subscription proceeds,
the  Partnership  purchased eight properties,  including  partial
interests in three properties, totaling $6,409,650.  The  balance
of  the  subscription  proceeds was applied to  organization  and
syndication  costs,  working capital reserves and  distributions,
which  represented a return of capital.  The properties  are  all
commercial,  single  tenant buildings  leased  under  triple  net
leases.

       The Partnership will hold its properties until the General
Partners  determine  that the sale or other  disposition  of  the
properties   is   advantageous  in  view  of  the   Partnership's
investment  objectives.  In deciding whether to sell  properties,
the  General  Partners will consider factors  such  as  potential
appreciation,  net  cash flow and income tax considerations.   In
addition,  certain  lessees may be granted  options  to  purchase
properties  after  a  specified portion of  the  lease  term  has
elapsed.  Prior to commencing the liquidation of the Partnership,
the  General Partners may reinvest the proceeds from the sale  of
properties  in  additional properties, provided  that  sufficient
proceeds  are distributed to the Limited Partners to pay  federal
and state income taxes related to any taxable gain recognized  as
a  result  of  the  sale.   At  any time  prior  to  selling  the
properties,  the  Partnership may mortgage one  or  more  of  its
properties in amounts not exceeding 50% of the fair market  value
of the property.

Leases

       Although there are variations in the specific terms of the
leases,  the following is a summary of the general terms  of  the
Partnership's  leases.   The properties  are  leased  to  various
tenants  under  triple  net  leases,  which  are  classified   as
operating  leases.   Under  a triple net  lease,  the  lessee  is
responsible  for  all real estate taxes, insurance,  maintenance,
repairs  and  operating expenses for the property.   The  initial
lease terms are for 15 to 20 years.  The leases provide for  base
annual  rental  payments,  payable in monthly  installments,  and
contain  rent  clauses which entitle the Partnership  to  receive
additional rent in future years based on stated rent increases or
if  gross  receipts  for  the property exceed  certain  specified
amounts, among other conditions.

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.  (Continued)

        The leases provide the lessee with two to three five-year
renewal options subject to the same terms and conditions  as  the
initial  lease.   Certain  lessees  may  be  granted  options  to
purchase the property at a formula price, which would exceed  the
original  cost.  The actual sale price of a property to a  lessee
may or may not exceed original cost depending on market and other
conditions.

Property Activity

        On  May 8, 2000, the Partnership purchased a 22% interest
in  a parcel of land in Austin, Texas for $299,200.  The land  is
leased  to  Razzoo's, Inc. (RI) under a Lease  Agreement  with  a
primary  term of 15 years and annual rental payments of  $25,432.
Effective  October  4,  2000, the annual rent  was  increased  to
$29,172.   Simultaneously  with the purchase  of  the  land,  the
Partnership entered into a Development Financing Agreement  under
which  the  Partnership advanced funds to RI for the construction
of a Razzoo's restaurant on the site.  Initially, the Partnership
charged  interest on the advances at a rate of  8.5%.   Effective
October  4,  2000  and  April 15, 2001,  the  interest  rate  was
increased  to  9.75% and 15%, respectively.  On  June  27,  2001,
after  the  development was completed, the  Lease  Agreement  was
amended  to  require  annual rental  payments  of  $69,970.   The
Partnership's share of the total acquisition costs, including the
cost  of the land, was $714,689.  The remaining interests in  the
property  are  owned  by  AEI  Real  Estate  Fund  XVII   Limited
Partnership,  AEI  Net  Lease Income & Growth  Fund  XIX  Limited
Partnership,   and  AEI  Income  &  Growth  Fund   XXII   Limited
Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership.

        In  July  2003, the lessee of the Razzoo's restaurant  in
Austin, Texas notified the Partnership that they are experiencing
financial  difficulty and may not be able to  pay  future  rents.
However,  rents  are  current through  March  31,  2004  and  the
Partnership   holds  a  personal  guarantee  from  the   majority
shareholder of the lessee for payment of all rents.  The personal
guarantee  expires  on June 27, 2004.  Due to this  notification,
the  Partnership is evaluating the lease and property  value  and
has  decided that it is premature to recognize an impairment loss
at  this time.  It is reasonably possible that this decision  may
change  in the future.  At December 31, 2003, the book  value  of
this property was $678,656.

       In May 2001, Huntington Restaurants Group, Inc. (HRG), the
lessee  of the Denny's restaurant in Greenville, Texas,  notified
the  Partnership that it was experiencing financial problems  and
would  not make the lease payments while they worked out  a  plan
which  would  enable them to continue operations without  seeking
bankruptcy protection.  For the years ended December 31, 2002 and
2001, HRG owed $127,196 and $72,912 for past due rent, which  was
not accrued for financial reporting purposes.  For the year ended
December  31,  2002,  the Partnership incurred  $53,514  of  real
estate  tax  expense related to 2001 and 2002 taxes  due  on  the
property.   Due to the uncertainty of collection, the Partnership
expensed the taxes, which are normally the responsibility of  the
lessee.

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.  (Continued)

        As  of  June  30,  2002, based on an analysis  of  market
conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value  of  the
Denny's  restaurant was approximately $700,000.   In  the  second
quarter  of  2002,  a  charge  to  operations  for  real   estate
impairment  of  $171,397 was recognized which is  the  difference
between  the  book  value at June 30, 2002 of  $871,397  and  the
estimated  fair  value  of $700,000.   The  charge  was  recorded
against the cost of the land, building and equipment.

        In  November  2002,  HRG closed  the  restaurant  due  to
continuing operating losses and indicated that if HRG was  forced
to  file  for bankruptcy protection, the Lease would be rejected.
After reviewing the financial condition of HRG and its owners and
the  operating  results of the property, in  December  2002,  the
Partnership  reached a settlement with the parties  to  terminate
the Lease and release the owners from their Lease guarantee.  The
Partnership  received a cash payment of $66,896  and  a  $100,000
Promissory  Note from HRG, which was guaranteed  by  its  owners.
The  Partnership applied $28,963 of the payment against the  real
estate   tax  expense  discussed  above.   The  balance  of   the
settlement consideration of $137,933 is shown as Lease Settlement
Income  in  Note 7, Discontinued Operations, for the  year  ended
December   31,  2002.   While  the  property  was   vacant,   the
Partnership was responsible for real estate taxes and other costs
required to maintain the property.

        On  December  30, 2002, the Partnership entered  into  an
agreement to sell the property for $500,000 to an unrelated third
party.  In the fourth quarter of 2002, a charge to operations for
real estate impairment of $220,837 was recognized, which was  the
difference  between  the  book value  at  December  31,  2002  of
$690,837  and  the estimated net sale proceeds of  $470,000.  The
charge  was  recorded against the cost of the land and  building.
At  December  31, 2002, the land and building were classified  as
Real Estate Held for Sale.  On May 22, 2003, the sale closed with
the  Partnership  receiving net sale proceeds of $467,789,  which
resulted in a net loss of $2,211.  At the time of sale, the  cost
and  related accumulated depreciation was $636,198 and  $166,198,
respectively.

        Through December 31, 2002, the Partnership sold  its  20%
interest  in  the Tractor Supply Company store, in  two  separate
transactions,  to  unrelated  third  parties.   The   Partnership
received total net sale proceeds of $290,296, which resulted in a
net  gain  of  $110,705.  The total cost and related  accumulated
depreciation  of  the  interests sold was $219,405  and  $39,814,
respectively.   For the years ended December 2002 and  2001,  the
net gain was $58,149 and $52,556, respectively.

       During the first quarter of 2003, the Partnership sold its
26.05%  interest  in the Champps Americana restaurant,  in  eight
separate   transactions,  to  unrelated   third   parties.    The
Partnership received total net sale proceeds of $1,776,832, which
resulted  in a net gain of $585,894.  The total cost and  related
accumulated depreciation of the interests sold was $1,330,265 and
$139,327, respectively.

        On  February  1,  2003, the Partnership entered  into  an
agreement to sell the JEMCARE Learning Center to the lessee.   On
March 7, 2003, the sale closed with the Partnership receiving net
sale  proceeds  of  $247,219, which resulted in  a  net  gain  of
$9,595.   At  the time of sale, the cost and related  accumulated
depreciation was $417,213 and $179,589, respectively.
ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.  (Continued)

        On  February  3,  2003, the Partnership entered  into  an
agreement  to  sell the Children's World daycare center  in  West
Chester, Ohio to an unrelated third party.  On March 4, 2003, the
sale  closed with the Partnership receiving net sale proceeds  of
$1,223,310,  which resulted in a net gain of  $312,030.   At  the
time  of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation  was
$999,162 and $87,882, respectively.

        On  March 3, 2003, the Partnership purchased a parcel  of
land  in  Pharr,  Texas  for $781,000.  The Partnership  obtained
title  to  the  land  in  the form of  an  undivided  fee  simple
interest.   The  land  is leased to Kona Restaurant  Group,  Inc.
(KRG) under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 17 years and
annual  rental  payments  of $78,100.   Simultaneously  with  the
purchase  of the land, the Partnership entered into a Development
Financing Agreement under which the Partnership advanced funds to
KRG  for the construction of a Johnny Carino's restaurant on  the
site.  Pursuant to the Lease, any improvements to the land during
the  term  of  the Lease become the property of the lessor.   The
Partnership  charged interest on the advances at a rate  of  10%.
On  September 30, 2003, after the development was completed,  the
Lease Agreement was amended to require annual rental payments  of
$200,600.   Total acquisition costs, including the  cost  of  the
land, were $1,996,913.

       On December 23, 2003, the Partnership sold 10.8425% of the
Johnny  Carino's  restaurant to an unrelated  third  party.   The
Partnership  received  net  sale  proceeds  of  $275,548,   which
resulted  in  a  net  gain  of $60,048.   The  cost  and  related
accumulated  depreciation of the interest sold was  $216,515  and
$1,015, respectively.

        Subsequent to December 31, 2003, the Partnership sold its
remaining 89.1575% interest in the Johnny Carino's restaurant, in
five  separate  transactions, to unrelated  third  parties.   The
Partnership  received  total net sale proceeds  of  approximately
$2,270,000,  which  resulted  in  a  net  gain  of  approximately
$500,000.   At December 31, 2003, the property was classified  as
Real Estate Held for Sale with a book value of $1,770,391.

        On  August  27,  2003, the Partnership  purchased  a  21%
interest  in a Garden Ridge retail store in Woodlands, Texas  for
$1,746,370.  The property is leased to Garden Ridge, L.P. under a
Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual rental
payments  of  $197,932.  The remaining interests in the  property
were purchased by AEI Real Estate Fund XVIII Limited Partnership,
AEI  Income & Growth Fund XXII Limited Partnership and AEI Income
& Growth Fund 24 LLC, affiliates of the Partnership.

        During  the fourth quarter of 2003, the Partnership  sold
its  interest in the Garden Ridge retail store, in five  separate
transactions,  to  unrelated  third  parties.   The   Partnership
received total net sale proceeds of $2,032,178, which resulted in
a  net  gain of $299,527.  The total cost and related accumulated
depreciation  of the interests sold was $1,746,370  and  $13,719,
respectively.

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.  (Continued)

Major Tenants

        During 2003, four tenants each contributed more than  ten
percent  of  the Partnership's total rental revenue.   The  major
tenants  in aggregate contributed 84% of total rental revenue  in
2003.   It  is  anticipated that, based  on  the  minimum  rental
payments  required  under  the leases,  each  major  tenant  will
continue to contribute more than ten percent of rental revenue in
2004  and future years.  However, the tenants of the Garden Ridge
retail store and the Johnny Carino's restaurant will not continue
to  be  major tenants since the properties were sold in  December
2003  and January 2004.  Any failure of these major tenants could
materially   affect  the  Partnership's  net  income   and   cash
distributions.

Competition

        The  Partnership is a minor factor in the commercial real
estate  business.   There are numerous entities  engaged  in  the
commercial  real  estate  business which have  greater  financial
resources  than  the  Partnership.  At the time  the  Partnership
elects to dispose of its properties, the Partnership will  be  in
competition  with other persons and entities to find  buyers  for
its properties.

Employees

        The  Partnership  has  no direct  employees.   Management
services   are  performed  for  the  Partnership  by   AEI   Fund
Management, Inc., an affiliate of AFM.


ITEM 2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES.

Investment Objectives

        The  Partnership's investment objectives are  to  acquire
existing or newly-developed commercial properties throughout  the
United  States that offer the potential for (i) preservation  and
protection  of  the  Partnership's capital; (ii)  partially  tax-
deferred  cash distributions from operations which  may  increase
through  rent  participation clauses or mandated rent  increases;
and  (iii) long-term capital gains through appreciation in  value
of   the  Partnership's  properties  realized  upon  sale.    The
Partnership  does not have a policy, and there is no  limitation,
as  to the amount or percentage of assets that may be invested in
any  one  property.  However, to the extent possible, the General
Partners  attempt  to  diversify the type  and  location  of  the
Partnership's properties.

Description of Properties

       The Partnership's properties are commercial, single tenant
buildings.  The properties were acquired on a debt-free basis and
are  leased to various tenants under triple net leases, which are
classified  as  operating  leases.  The  Partnership   holds   an
undivided  fee simple interest in the properties.   At  any  time
prior to selling the properties, the Partnership may mortgage one
or  more  of its properties in amounts not exceeding 50%  of  the
fair market value of the property.

ITEM 2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES.  (Continued)

        The  Partnership's properties are subject to the  general
competitive conditions incident to the ownership of single tenant
investment  real estate.  Since each property is leased  under  a
long-term   lease,   there  is  little  competition   until   the
Partnership  decides to sell the property.   At  this  time,  the
Partnership will be competing with other real estate  owners,  on
both a national and local level, in attempting to find buyers for
the   properties.   In  the  event  of  a  tenant  default,   the
Partnership would be competing with other real estate owners, who
have  property vacancies, to attract a new tenant  to  lease  the
property.   The Partnership's tenants operate in industries  that
are  very  competitive and can be affected  by  factors  such  as
changes  in regional or local economies, seasonality and  changes
in consumer preference.

        The  following table is a summary of the properties  that
the Partnership acquired and owned as of December 31, 2003.

        The  properties  listed above with  a  partial  ownership
percentage are owned with an affiliate of the Partnership  and/or
unrelated third parties.  The remaining interests in the Razzoo's
restaurant  are  owned  by  AEI Real  Estate  Fund  XVII  Limited
Partnership,  AEI  Net  Lease Income & Growth  Fund  XIX  Limited
Partnership   and   AEI  Income  &  Growth  Fund   XXII   Limited
Partnership.   The  remaining interest  in  the  Johnny  Carino's
restaurant is owned by an unrelated third party.

        The Partnership accounts for properties owned as tenants-
in-common  with  affiliated Partnerships and/or  unrelated  third
parties  using  the  proportionate  consolidation  method.   Each
tenant-in-common  owns  a  separate, undivided  interest  in  the
properties.   Any  tenant-in-common that holds more  than  a  50%
interest  does  not control decisions over the  other  tenant-in-
common  interests.   The financial statements reflect  only  this
Partnership's percentage share of the properties' land,  building
and equipment, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

ITEM 2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES.  (Continued)

        The  initial  Lease terms are 20 years,  except  for  the
Arby's  and  Razzoo's restaurants, which have Lease terms  of  15
years  and the Johnny Carino's restaurant which has a Lease  term
of 17 years.  The Leases contain renewal options which may extend
the  Lease  term  an additional 10 years, except for  the  Johnny
Carino's  restaurant, which has a renewal option that may  extend
the Lease term an additional 15 years.

       Pursuant to the Lease Agreements, the tenants are required
to provide proof of adequate insurance coverage on the properties
they  occupy.   The General Partners believe the  properties  are
adequately covered by insurance and consider the properties to be
well-maintained and sufficient for the Partnership's operations.

         For  tax  purposes,  the  Partnership's  properties  are
depreciated  under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery  System
(MACRS).  The largest depreciable component of a property is  the
building  which  is depreciated, using the straight-line  method,
over  31.5,  39  or 40 years depending on the date  when  it  was
placed  in  service.  The remaining depreciable components  of  a
property  are personal property and land improvements  which  are
depreciated,  using an accelerated method, over 5 and  15  years,
respectively.  Since the Partnership has tax-exempt Partners, the
Partnership is subject to the rules of Section 168(h)(6)  of  the
Internal  Revenue  Code  which  requires  a  percentage  of   the
properties' depreciable components to be depreciated over  longer
lives  using  the straight-line method.  In general, the  federal
tax  basis of the properties for tax depreciation purposes is the
same as the basis for book depreciation purposes.

        During the last five years or since the date of purchase,
if purchased after December 31, 1998, all properties listed above
were 100% occupied.

ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
          AND SMALL BUSINESS ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

        As of December 31, 2003, there were 656 holders of record
of the registrant's Limited Partnership Units.  There is no other
class  of  security outstanding or authorized.  The  registrant's
Units  are  not  a traded security in any market.   However,  the
Partnership  may  acquire Units from Limited  Partners  who  have
tendered  their  Units to the Partnership.   Such  Units  may  be
acquired  at  a  discount.  The Partnership is not  obligated  to
purchase  in any year more than 5% of the total number  of  Units
outstanding at the beginning of the year.  In no event shall  the
Partnership  be  obligated to purchase  Units  if,  in  the  sole
discretion  of the Managing General Partner, such purchase  would
impair the capital or operation of the Partnership.

       During 2003, one Limited Partner redeemed five Partnership
Units  for  $1,523 in accordance with the Partnership  Agreement.
The  Partnership acquired these Units using Net  Cash  Flow  from
operations.   During  2002, the Partnership did  not  redeem  any
units  from the Limited Partners.  In prior years, a total of  31
Limited  Partners  redeemed 239 Partnership Units  for  $145,751.
The   redemptions   increase  the  remaining  Limited   Partners'
ownership  interest  in the Partnership.  As  a  result  of  this
redemption payment and pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the
General Partners received a distribution of $15 in 2003.

        Cash distributions of $14,448 and $4,267 were made to the
General  Partners and $1,430,341 and $422,407 were  made  to  the
Limited   Partners   in   2003  and  2002,   respectively.    The
distributions  were made on a quarterly basis and  represent  Net
Cash   Flow,  as  defined,  except  as  discussed  below.   These
distributions  should  not be compared  with  dividends  paid  on
capital stock by corporations.

        As  part  of the Limited Partner distributions  discussed
above,  the  Partnership distributed $1,000,000  and  $64,554  of
proceeds from property sales in 2003 and 2002, respectively.  The
distributions  reduced  the  Limited Partners'  Adjusted  Capital
Contributions.

ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.

        The Management's Discussion and Analysis contains various
"forward  looking  statements"  within  the  meaning  of  federal
securities  laws  which  represent management's  expectations  or
beliefs  concerning future events, including statements regarding
anticipated  application of cash, expected  returns  from  rental
income,  growth  in revenue, taxation levels, the sufficiency  of
cash to meet operating expenses, rates of distribution, and other
matters.  These, and other forward looking statements made by the
Partnership,  must be evaluated in the context  of  a  number  of
factors that may affect the Partnership's financial condition and
results of operations, including the following:

      Market  and  economic conditions which affect the  value
      of  the  properties the Partnership owns and  the  cash
      from rental income such properties generate;

      the  federal  income tax consequences of rental  income,
      deductions,  gain  on  sales and other  items  and  the
      affects of these consequences for the Partners;


ITEM 6.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.  (Continued)

      resolution  by  the General Partners of  conflicts  with
      which they may be confronted;

      the   success  of  the  General  Partners  of   locating
      properties with favorable risk return characteristics;

      the effect of tenant defaults; and

      the condition of the industries in which the tenants of
      properties owned by the Partnership operate.


The Application of Critical Accounting Policies

        The preparation of the Partnership's financial statements
requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that  may
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues  and
expenses,  and  related  disclosure  of  contingent  assets   and
liabilities. Management evaluates these estimates on  an  ongoing
basis,  including  those related to the carrying  value  of  real
estate  and  the  allocation  by AEI  Fund  Management,  Inc.  of
expenses  to  the  Partnership as opposed  to  other  funds  they
manage.

        The Partnership purchases properties and records them  in
the  financial  statements  at the lower  of  cost  or  estimated
realizable   value.   The  Partnership  initially   records   the
properties  at cost (including capitalized acquisition expenses).
The Partnership is required to periodically evaluate the carrying
value  of properties to determine whether their realizable  value
has  declined.   For  properties the Partnership  will  hold  and
operate, management determines whether impairment has occurred by
comparing the property's probability-weighted cash flows  to  its
current carrying value.  For properties held for sale, management
determines  whether  impairment has  occurred  by  comparing  the
property's estimated fair value less cost to sell to its  current
carrying  value.   If  the carrying value  is  greater  than  the
realizable  value, an impairment loss is recorded to  reduce  the
carrying value of the property to its realizable value.  A change
in  these assumptions or analysis could cause material changes in
the carrying value of the properties.

       AEI Fund Management Inc. allocates expenses to each of the
funds  they manage primarily on the basis of the number of  hours
devoted  by  their employees to each fund's affairs.   They  also
allocate  expenses at the end of each month that are not directly
related to a fund's operations based upon the number of investors
in the fund and the fund's capitalization relative to other funds
they  manage.  The Partnership reimburses these expenses  subject
to detailed limitations contained in the Partnership Agreement.

         Management   of  the  Partnership  has   discussed   the
development  and selection of the above accounting estimates  and
the management discussion and analysis disclosures regarding them
with the managing partner of the Partnership.


ITEM 6.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.  (Continued)

Results of Operations

        For  the  years  ended December 31, 2003  and  2002,  the
Partnership  recognized rental income from continuing  operations
of  $274,222 and $271,659, respectively.  In 2003, rental  income
increased as a result of rent increases on two properties.

        For  the  years  ended December 31, 2003  and  2002,  the
Partnership  incurred  Partnership  administration  expenses   to
affiliated parties of $85,569 and $116,205, respectively.   These
administration  expenses  include  costs  associated   with   the
management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting
requirements and correspondence to the Limited Partners.   During
the   same   periods,   the  Partnership   incurred   Partnership
administration  and property management expenses  from  unrelated
parties  of  $15,988 and $10,544, respectively.   These  expenses
represent  direct payments to third parties for legal and  filing
fees,  direct administrative costs, outside audit and  accounting
costs, taxes, insurance and other property costs.

        In  July  2003, the lessee of the Razzoo's restaurant  in
Austin, Texas notified the Partnership that they are experiencing
financial  difficulty and may not be able to  pay  future  rents.
However,  rents  are  current through  March  31,  2004  and  the
Partnership   holds  a  personal  guarantee  from  the   majority
shareholder of the lessee for payment of all rents.  The personal
guarantee  expires  on June 27, 2004.  Due to this  notification,
the  Partnership is evaluating the lease and property  value  and
has  decided that it is premature to recognize an impairment loss
at  this time.  It is reasonably possible that this decision  may
change  in the future.  At December 31, 2003, the book  value  of
this property was $678,656.

        For  the  years  ended December 31, 2003  and  2002,  the
Partnership  recognized interest income of  $55,144  and  $4,128,
respectively.   In  2003, interest income increased  due  to  the
Partnership receiving interest from construction advances, having
more  money  invested in a money market account due  to  property
sales and interest accrued on the Note Receivable.

        In  accordance  with  Statement of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal  of
Long-Lived  Assets,  upon  complete disposal  of  a  property  or
classification of a property as Real Estate Held  for  Sale,  the
Partnership  includes  the operating  results  and  sale  of  the
property   in   discontinued  operations.    In   addition,   the
Partnership reclassifies the prior periods operating results  and
any  partial  sales  of the property to discontinued  operations.
For  the year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership recognized
income  from  discontinued operations of $1,426,082, representing
rental  income less property management expenses and depreciation
of  $161,199  and gain on disposal of real estate of  $1,264,883.
For  the year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership recognized
a  loss  from discontinued operations of $55,187, representing  a
real  estate  impairment loss of $392,234,  which  was  partially
offset  by  rental  and  lease settlement  income  less  property
management  expenses  and depreciation of $278,898  and  gain  on
disposal of real estate of $58,149.

ITEM 6.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.  (Continued)

       In May 2001, Huntington Restaurants Group, Inc. (HRG), the
lessee  of the Denny's restaurant in Greenville, Texas,  notified
the  Partnership that it was experiencing financial problems  and
would  not make the lease payments while they worked out  a  plan
which  would  enable them to continue operations without  seeking
bankruptcy protection.  For the years ended December 31, 2002 and
2001, HRG owed $127,196 and $72,912 for past due rent, which  was
not accrued for financial reporting purposes.  For the year ended
December  31,  2002,  the Partnership incurred  $53,514  of  real
estate  tax  expense related to 2001 and 2002 taxes  due  on  the
property.   Due to the uncertainty of collection, the Partnership
expensed the taxes, which are normally the responsibility of  the
lessee.

        As  of  June  30,  2002, based on an analysis  of  market
conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value  of  the
Denny's  restaurant was approximately $700,000.   In  the  second
quarter  of  2002,  a  charge  to  operations  for  real   estate
impairment  of  $171,397 was recognized which is  the  difference
between  the  book  value at June 30, 2002 of  $871,397  and  the
estimated  fair  value  of  $700,000.  The  charge  was  recorded
against the cost of the land, building and equipment.

        In  November  2002,  HRG closed  the  restaurant  due  to
continuing operating losses and indicated that if HRG was  forced
to  file  for bankruptcy protection, the Lease would be rejected.
After reviewing the financial condition of HRG and its owners and
the  operating  results of the property, in  December  2002,  the
Partnership  reached a settlement with the parties  to  terminate
the Lease and release the owners from their Lease guarantee.  The
Partnership  received a cash payment of $66,896  and  a  $100,000
Promissory  Note from HRG, which was guaranteed  by  its  owners.
The  Partnership applied $28,963 of the payment against the  real
estate   tax  expense  discussed  above.   The  balance  of   the
settlement consideration of $137,933 is shown as Lease Settlement
Income  in  Note 7, Discontinued Operations, for the  year  ended
December   31,  2002.   While  the  property  was   vacant,   the
Partnership was responsible for real estate taxes and other costs
required to maintain the property.

        On  December  30, 2002, the Partnership entered  into  an
agreement to sell the property for $500,000 to an unrelated third
party.  In the fourth quarter of 2002, a charge to operations for
real estate impairment of $220,837 was recognized, which was  the
difference  between  the  book value  at  December  31,  2002  of
$690,837  and  the estimated net sale proceeds of  $470,000.  The
charge  was  recorded against the cost of the land and  building.
At  December  31, 2002, the land and building were classified  as
Real Estate Held for Sale.  On May 22, 2003, the sale closed with
the  Partnership  receiving net sale proceeds of $467,789,  which
resulted in a net loss of $2,211.  At the time of sale, the  cost
and  related accumulated depreciation was $636,198 and  $166,198,
respectively.

        On  September 4, 2002, the Partnership sold its remaining
10.0523%  interest  in  the  Tractor  Supply  Company  store   in
Maryville,   Tennessee  to  an  unrelated   third   party.    The
Partnership  received  net  sale  proceeds  of  $147,133,   which
resulted  in  a  net  gain  of $58,149.   The  cost  and  related
accumulated  depreciation of the interest sold was  $110,276  and
$21,292, respectively.


ITEM 6.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.  (Continued)

       During the first quarter of 2003, the Partnership sold its
26.05%  interest  in the Champps Americana restaurant,  in  eight
separate   transactions,  to  unrelated   third   parties.    The
Partnership received total net sale proceeds of $1,776,832, which
resulted  in a net gain of $585,894.  The total cost and  related
accumulated depreciation of the interests sold was $1,330,265 and
$139,327, respectively.

        On  February  1,  2003, the Partnership entered  into  an
agreement to sell the JEMCARE Learning Center to the lessee.   On
March 7, 2003, the sale closed with the Partnership receiving net
sale  proceeds  of  $247,219, which resulted in  a  net  gain  of
$9,595.   At  the time of sale, the cost and related  accumulated
depreciation was $417,213 and $179,589, respectively.

        On  February  3,  2003, the Partnership entered  into  an
agreement  to  sell the Children's World daycare center  in  West
Chester, Ohio to an unrelated third party.  On March 4, 2003, the
sale  closed with the Partnership receiving net sale proceeds  of
$1,223,310,  which resulted in a net gain of  $312,030.   At  the
time  of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation  was
$999,162 and $87,882, respectively.

        During  the fourth quarter of 2003, the Partnership  sold
its  interest  in  the  Garden Ridge retail store  in  Woodlands,
Texas, in five separate transactions, to unrelated third parties.
The  Partnership received total net sale proceeds of  $2,032,178,
which  resulted  in a net gain of $299,527.  The total  cost  and
related  accumulated  depreciation  of  the  interests  sold  was
$1,746,370 and $13,719, respectively.

       On December 23, 2003, the Partnership sold 10.8425% of the
Johnny Carino's restaurant in Pharr, Texas to an unrelated  third
party.   The Partnership received net sale proceeds of  $275,548,
which  resulted in a net gain of $60,048.  The cost  and  related
accumulated  depreciation of the interest sold was  $216,515  and
$1,015, respectively.

        Subsequent to December 31, 2003, the Partnership sold its
remaining 89.1575% interest in the Johnny Carino's restaurant, in
five  separate  transactions, to unrelated  third  parties.   The
Partnership  received  total net sale proceeds  of  approximately
$2,270,000,  which  resulted  in  a  net  gain  of  approximately
$500,000.   At December 31, 2003, the property was classified  as
Real Estate Held for Sale with a book value of $1,770,391.

        Inflation  has  had  a  minimal  effect  on  income  from
operations.   Leases  may contain rent increases,  based  on  the
increase  in  the  Consumer Price Index over a specified  period,
which  will result in an increase in rental income over the  term
of  the  leases.   In addition, leases may contain  rent  clauses
which  entitle  the  Partnership to receive  additional  rent  in
future  years  if gross receipts for the property exceed  certain
specified  amounts.  Increases in sales volumes of  the  tenants,
due to inflation and real sales growth, may result in an increase
in rental income over the term of the leases.  Inflation also may
cause the real estate to appreciate in value.  However, inflation
and  changing prices may have an adverse impact on the  operating
margins  of  the  properties' tenants, which could  impair  their
ability  to  pay rent and subsequently reduce the Net  Cash  Flow
available for distributions.


ITEM 6.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.  (Continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

       During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership's
cash  balances  increased $2,309,338 mainly as a result  of  cash
generated  from the sale of property, which was partially  offset
by  cash  used  to  purchase property.   During  the  year  ended
December  31,  2002,  the Partnership's cash  balances  increased
$120,144 as a result of cash generated from the sale of property,
which  was partially offset by distributions paid to the Partners
in excess of cash generated from operating activities.

        Net  cash provided by operating activities increased from
$428,176 in 2002 to $453,774 in 2003 as a result of a decrease in
Partnership  administration  expenses  in  2003  and  net  timing
differences  in the collection of payments from the  lessees  and
the  payment  of  expenses,  which were  partially  offset  by  a
decrease in total rental and interest income in 2003.

        The  major components of the Partnership's cash flow from
investing activities are investments in real estate and  proceeds
from  the  sale of real estate.  During the years ended  December
31,  2003 and 2002, the Partnership generated cash flow from  the
sale  of real estate of $6,022,876 and $147,133.  During the year
ended  December 31, 2003, the Partnership expended $3,743,283  to
invest in real properties (inclusive of acquisition expenses)  as
the Partnership reinvested cash generated from property sales.

        On  March 3, 2003, the Partnership purchased a parcel  of
land  in  Pharr,  Texas  for $781,000.  The Partnership  obtained
title  to  the  land  in  the form of  an  undivided  fee  simple
interest.   The  land  is leased to Kona Restaurant  Group,  Inc.
(KRG) under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 17 years and
annual  rental  payments  of $78,100.   Simultaneously  with  the
purchase  of the land, the Partnership entered into a Development
Financing Agreement under which the Partnership advanced funds to
KRG  for the construction of a Johnny Carino's restaurant on  the
site.  Pursuant to the Lease, any improvements to the land during
the  term  of  the Lease become the property of the lessor.   The
Partnership  charged interest on the advances at a rate  of  10%.
On  September 30, 2003, after the development was completed,  the
Lease Agreement was amended to require annual rental payments  of
$200,600.   Total acquisition costs, including the  cost  of  the
land, were $1,996,913.

        On  August  27,  2003, the Partnership  purchased  a  21%
interest  in a Garden Ridge retail store in Woodlands, Texas  for
$1,746,370.  The property is leased to Garden Ridge, L.P. under a
Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual rental
payments  of  $197,932.  The remaining interests in the  property
were purchased by AEI Real Estate Fund XVIII Limited Partnership,
AEI  Income & Growth Fund XXII Limited Partnership and AEI Income
& Growth Fund 24 LLC, affiliates of the Partnership.

        The  Partnership's primary use of cash flow,  other  than
investment   in  real  estate,  is  distribution  and  redemption
payments  to  Partners.   The Partnership  declares  its  regular
quarterly distributions before the end of each quarter  and  pays
the distribution in the first week after the end of each quarter.
The  Partnership attempts to maintain a stable distribution  rate
from  quarter  to  quarter.   Redemption  payments  are  paid  to
redeeming Partners in the fourth quarter of each year.


ITEM 6.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.  (Continued)

        For  the  years  ended December 31, 2003  and  2002,  the
Partnership  declared distributions of $1,444,789  and  $426,674,
respectively, which were distributed 99% to the Limited  Partners
and  1%  to the General Partners.  The Limited Partners  received
distributions of $1,430,341 and $422,407 and the General Partners
received  distributions of $14,448 and $4,267  for  the  periods,
respectively.  In December 2003, the Partnership declared a bonus
distribution  of $1,010,101 of net sale proceeds, which  resulted
in a higher distribution payable at December 31, 2003.

        During  the  first  six months of 2002,  the  Partnership
distributed  $65,206  of net sale proceeds  to  the  Limited  and
General Partners as part of their regular quarterly distributions
which  represented  a  return of capital  of  $8.89  per  Limited
Partnership  Unit.  In December 2003, the Partnership distributed
$1,010,101  of  net  sale  proceeds to the  Limited  and  General
Partners   as   part  of  their  quarterly  distributions   which
represented   a  return  of  capital  of  $137.82   per   Limited
Partnership Unit.  The remaining net sale proceeds will either be
reinvested in additional property or distributed to the  Partners
in the future.

        The  Partnership may acquire Units from Limited  Partners
who have tendered their Units to the Partnership.  Such Units may
be  acquired at a discount.  The Partnership is not obligated  to
purchase  in any year more than 5% of the total number  of  Units
outstanding at the beginning of the year.  In no event shall  the
Partnership  be  obligated to purchase  Units  if,  in  the  sole
discretion  of the Managing General Partner, such purchase  would
impair the capital or operation of the Partnership.

       During 2003, one Limited Partner redeemed five Partnership
Units  for  $1,523 in accordance with the Partnership  Agreement.
The  Partnership acquired these Units using Net  Cash  Flow  from
operations.   During  2002, the Partnership did  not  redeem  any
units  from the Limited Partners.  In prior years, a total of  31
Limited  Partners  redeemed 239 Partnership Units  for  $145,751.
The   redemptions   increase  the  remaining  Limited   Partners'
ownership  interest  in the Partnership.  As  a  result  of  this
redemption payment and pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the
General Partners received a distribution of $15 in 2003.

       The continuing rent payments from the properties, together
with  cash  generated from property sales, should be adequate  to
fund   continuing   distributions  and  meet  other   Partnership
obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.

      We  have audited the accompanying balance sheet of AEI Real
Estate   Fund   XV   Limited  Partnership  (a  Delaware   limited
partnership)  as  of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and  the  related
statements of income, cash flows and changes in partners' capital
for  the  years then ended.  These financial statements  are  the
responsibility    of   the   Partnership's    management.     Our
responsibility  is  to  express an  opinion  on  these  financial
statements based on our audits.

     We   conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with   auditing
standards  generally accepted in the United  States  of  America.
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, the financial statements referred to above
present  fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of AEI Real Estate Fund XV Limited Partnership as of December 31,
2003  and  2002, and the results of its operations and  its  cash
flows  for  the  years then ended, in conformity with  accounting

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                   DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

(1)  Organization -

     AEI  Real  Estate Fund XV Limited Partnership  (Partnership)
     was  formed  to  acquire and lease commercial properties  to
     operating tenants.  The Partnership's operations are managed
     by  AEI  Fund  Management  86-A, Inc.  (AFM),  the  Managing
     General Partner.  Robert P. Johnson, the President and  sole
     director  of AFM, serves as the Individual General  Partner.
     AFM  is a wholly owned subsidiary of AEI Capital Corporation
     of  which Mr. Johnson is the majority shareholder.  AEI Fund
     Management,  Inc. (AEI), an affiliate of AFM,  performs  the
     administrative and operating functions for the Partnership.

     The   terms  of  the  Partnership  offering  called  for   a
     subscription  price of $1,000 per limited partnership  unit,
     payable   on  acceptance  of  the  offer.   The  Partnership
     commenced  operations  on  October  3,  1986  when   minimum
     subscriptions    of   1,300   Limited   Partnership    Units
     ($1,300,000)  were  accepted.  On  December  30,  1986,  the
     offering  terminated when the maximum subscription limit  of
     7,500  Limited  Partnership Units was  reached.   Under  the
     terms  of  the  Limited Partnership Agreement,  the  Limited
     Partners   and   General  Partners  contributed   funds   of
     $7,500,000 and $1,000, respectively.

     During operations, any Net Cash Flow, as defined, which  the
     General Partners determine to distribute will be distributed
     90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners;
     provided,  however, that such distributions to  the  General
     Partners will be subordinated to the Limited Partners  first
     receiving an annual, noncumulative distribution of Net  Cash
     Flow equal to 10% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution, as
     defined,  and, provided further, that in no event  will  the
     General Partners receive less than 1% of such Net Cash  Flow
     per  annum.  Distributions to the Limited Partners  will  be
     made pro rata by Units.

     Any  Net  Proceeds  of Sale, as defined, from  the  sale  or
     financing of properties which the General Partners determine
     to distribute will, after provisions for debts and reserves,
     be  paid  in  the following manner:  (i) first, 99%  to  the
     Limited  Partners and 1% to the General Partners  until  the
     Limited  Partners  receive an amount  equal  to:  (a)  their
     Adjusted Capital Contribution plus (b) an amount equal to 6%
     of their Adjusted Capital Contribution per annum, cumulative
     but not compounded, to the extent not previously distributed
     from  Net  Cash Flow; (ii) next, 99% to the Limited Partners
     and  1%  to the General Partners until the Limited  Partners
     receive  an  amount equal to 14% of their  Adjusted  Capital
     Contribution  per annum, cumulative but not  compounded,  to
     the  extent not previously distributed; (iii) next,  to  the
     General  Partners  until  cumulative  distributions  to  the
     General  Partners under Items (ii) and (iii)  equal  15%  of
     cumulative  distributions to all Partners under  Items  (ii)
     and (iii).  Any remaining balance will be distributed 85% to
     the  Limited  Partners  and  15% to  the  General  Partners.
     Distributions to the Limited Partners will be made pro  rata
     by Units.

                   DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

(1)  Organization - (Continued)

     For  tax  purposes,  profits  from  operations,  other  than
     profits  attributable  to  the  sale,  exchange,  financing,
     refinancing  or  other  disposition  of  property,  will  be
     allocated  first  in the same ratio in  which,  and  to  the
     extent,  Net  Cash Flow is distributed to the  Partners  for
     such year.  Any additional profits will be allocated 90%  to
     the  Limited  Partners and 10% to the General Partners.   In
     the  event  no Net Cash Flow is distributed to  the  Limited
     Partners,  90%  of each item of income, gain or  credit  for
     each  respective  year  shall be allocated  to  the  Limited
     Partners,  and 10% of each such item shall be  allocated  to
     the  General Partners.  Net losses from operations  will  be
     allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and 2% to the  General
     Partners.

     For  tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing,
     or  other  disposition  of property  will  be  allocated  in
     accordance  with the Partnership Agreement as  follows:  (i)
     first,  to  those  Partners with deficit balances  in  their
     capital  accounts  in an amount equal to  the  sum  of  such
     deficit  balances; (ii) second, 100% to the Limited Partners
     until the aggregate balance in the Limited Partners' capital
     accounts  equals  the sum of the Limited Partners'  Adjusted
     Capital  Contributions plus an amount equal to 14% of  their
     Adjusted Capital Contributions per annum, cumulative but not
     compounded,  to  the extent not previously allocated;  (iii)
     third,  to the General Partners until cumulative allocations
     to the General Partners equal 15% of cumulative allocations.
     Any  remaining balance will be allocated 85% to the  Limited
     Partners  and 15% to the General Partners.  Losses  will  be
     allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and 2% to the  General
     Partners.

     The  General Partners are not required to currently  fund  a
     deficit   capital   balance.   Upon   liquidation   of   the
     Partnership or withdrawal by a General Partner, the  General
     Partners will contribute to the Partnership an amount  equal
     to  the  lesser  of  the deficit balances in  their  capital
     accounts  or  1%  of  total Limited  Partners'  and  General
     Partners' capital contributions.

     Financial Statement Presentation

     Accounting Estimates

       Management  uses  estimates and assumptions  in  preparing
       these  financial statements in accordance  with  generally
       accepted  accounting  principles.   Those  estimates   and
       assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets  and
       liabilities,  the  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and
       liabilities,  and  the  reported  revenues  and  expenses.
       Actual results could differ from those estimates.

       The  Partnership regularly assesses whether market  events
       and conditions indicate that it is reasonably possible  to
       recover  the carrying amounts of its investments  in  real
       estate  from  future operations and sales.   A  change  in
       those  market events and conditions could have a  material
       effect on the carrying amount of its real estate.

     Cash Concentrations of Credit Risk

       The  Partnership's  cash  is deposited  primarily  in  one
       financial institution and at times during the year it  may
       exceed FDIC insurance limits.

     Statement of Cash Flows

       For  purposes  of  reporting cash  flows,  cash  and  cash
       equivalents  may include cash in checking,  cash  invested
       in   money   market  accounts,  certificates  of  deposit,
       federal  agency notes and commercial paper with a term  of
       three months or less.

     Receivables

       Credit  terms are extended to tenants in the normal course
       of  business.   The  Partnership performs  ongoing  credit
       evaluations  of  its customers' financial  condition  and,
       generally, requires no collateral.

       Receivables   are   recorded  at   their   estimated   net
       realizable  value.  The Partnership follows  a  policy  of
       providing  an  allowance for doubtful  accounts;  however,
       based on historical experience, and its evaluation of  the
       current status of receivables, the Partnership is  of  the
       belief  that  such  accounts will be  collectible  in  all
       material  respects and thus an allowance is not necessary.
       Accounts  are considered past due if payment is  not  made
       on  a  timely  basis in accordance with the  Partnership's
       credit  terms.   Receivables considered uncollectible  are
       written off.

     Notes Receivable

       The  Partnership  records its notes  receivable  at  their
       estimated net realizable value.  The Partnership  provides
       an  allowance for estimated uncollectible loans  based  on
       its   evaluation  of  the  current  status  of  its  notes
       receivable.   Notes  receivable  considered  uncollectible
       are  charged against the allowance.  The Partnership stops
       accruing   interest   in  its  financial   statements   on
       delinquent  notes receivable until such time  as  payments
       resume.

     Income Taxes

       The  income or loss of the Partnership for federal  income
       tax  reporting  purposes is includable in the  income  tax
       returns  of the partners.  In general, no recognition  has
       been  given to income taxes in the accompanying  financial
       statements.

       The  tax  return, the qualification of the Partnership  as
       such  for  tax  purposes, and the amount of  distributable
       partnership  income or loss are subject to examination  by
       federal   and  state  taxing  authorities.   If  such   an
       examination  results  in  changes  with  respect  to   the
       Partnership  qualification or in changes to  distributable
       Partnership  income  or loss, the taxable  income  of  the
       partners would be adjusted accordingly.

     Real Estate

       The  Partnership's real estate is leased under triple  net
       leases   classified  as  operating  leases.   The   leases
       provide  for  base  annual  rental  payments  payable   in
       monthly  installments.  The Partnership recognizes  rental
       revenue  according to the terms of the individual  leases.
       For  leases  which  contain stated rental  increases,  the
       increases  are  recognized in the year in which  they  are
       effective.   Contingent  rental  payments  are  recognized
       when  the  contingencies on which the payments  are  based
       are  satisfied  and the rental payments become  due  under
       the terms of the leases.

       Real  estate is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated
       net   realizable  value.   The  Partnership  compares  the
       carrying   amount  of  its  properties  to  the  estimated
       probability-weighted future cash flows expected to  result
       from  the property and its eventual disposition.   If  the
       sum  of  the expected future cash flows is less  than  the
       carrying   amount   of  the  property,   the   Partnership
       recognizes an impairment loss by the amount by  which  the
       carrying amount of the property exceeds the fair value  of
       the property.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)

       The  Partnership  has capitalized as Investments  in  Real
       Estate   certain   costs  incurred  in  the   review   and
       acquisition  of the properties.  The costs were  allocated
       to the land, buildings, and equipment.

       The   buildings  and  equipment  of  the  Partnership  are
       depreciated  using the straight line method for  financial
       reporting purposes based on estimated useful lives  of  30
       years and 10 years, respectively.

       In  accordance  with  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
       Standards  No.  144,  Accounting  for  the  Impairment  or
       Disposal  of Long-Lived Assets, upon complete disposal  of
       a  property or classification of a property as Real Estate
       Held  for  Sale,  the Partnership includes  the  operating
       results   and   sale  of  the  property  in   discontinued
       operations.   In  addition,  the Partnership  reclassifies
       the  prior periods operating results and any partial sales
       of the property to discontinued operations.

       The  Partnership accounts for properties owned as tenants-
       in-common  with  affiliated Partnerships and/or  unrelated
       third   parties   using  the  proportionate  consolidation
       method.   Each tenant-in-common owns a separate, undivided
       interest  in  the  properties.  Any tenant-in-common  that
       holds  more than a 50% interest does not control decisions
       over  the other tenant-in-common interests.  The financial
       statements  reflect  only  this  Partnership's  percentage
       share  of  the  properties' land, building and  equipment,
       liabilities, revenues and expenses.

     Reclassification

       Certain  items  in  the prior year's financial  statements
       have  been  reclassified to conform to 2003  presentation.
       These   reclassifications  had  no  effect  on   Partners'
       capital, net income or cash flows.

     Newly Issued Pronouncements

       The    Partnership   has   considered    the    accounting
       pronouncements  issued  after  December   2002   and   has
       determined that none of these pronouncements will  have  a
       material impact on its financial statements.

(4)  Investments in Real Estate -

     The  Partnership  leases its properties to  various  tenants
     through triple net leases, which are classified as operating
     leases.  Under a triple net lease, the lessee is responsible
     for  all  real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs
     and  operating expenses of the property.  The initial  Lease
     terms  are  20  years,  except for the Arby's  and  Razzoo's
     restaurants  which  have Lease terms of  15  years  and  the
     Johnny  Carino's  restaurant which has a Lease  term  of  17
     years.   The Leases contain renewal options which may extend
     the Lease term an additional 10 years, except for the Johnny
     Carino's  restaurant, which has a renewal  option  that  may
     extend  the  Lease term an additional 15 years.  The  Leases
     contain  rent  clauses  which  entitle  the  Partnership  to
     receive additional rent in future years based on stated rent
     increases  or  if  gross receipts for  the  property  exceed
     certain specified amounts, among other conditions.

     The  Partnership's properties are commercial,  single-tenant
     properties.   The  Arby's  restaurant  was  built  in  1972,
     extensively  remodeled in 1987 and acquired  in  1987.   The
     Children's World daycare center was constructed and acquired
     in  1987.  The land for the Razzoo's restaurant was acquired
     in  2000 and construction of the restaurant was completed in
     2001.   The  Johnny Carino's restaurant was constructed  and
     acquired  in 2003.  There have been no costs capitalized  as
     improvements subsequent to the acquisitions.

     In  July  2003,  the  lessee of the Razzoo's  restaurant  in
     Austin,  Texas  notified  the  Partnership  that  they   are
     experiencing financial difficulty and may not be able to pay
     future   rents.    However,  rents  are  current   and   the
     Partnership  holds  a personal guarantee from  the  majority
     shareholder  of  the lessee for payment of all  rents.   The
     personal  guarantee expires on June 27, 2004.  Due  to  this
     notification,  the Partnership is evaluating the  lease  and
     property  value  and  has decided that it  is  premature  to
     recognize an impairment loss at this time.  It is reasonably
     possible  that this decision may change in the  future.   At
     December  31, 2003, the  book  value  of  this  property was
     $678,656.

     For  properties owned as of December 31, 2003,  the  minimum
     future rent payments required by the leases are as follows:

(7)  Discontinued Operations -

     In  May 2001, Huntington Restaurants Group, Inc. (HRG),  the
     lessee  of  the  Denny's  restaurant in  Greenville,  Texas,
     notified  the Partnership that it was experiencing financial
     problems  and would not make the lease payments  while  they
     worked  out  a  plan  which would enable  them  to  continue
     operations without seeking bankruptcy protection.   For  the
     years  ended  December 31, 2002 and 2001, HRG owed  $127,196
     and  $72,912  for past due rent, which was not  accrued  for
     financial  reporting purposes.  For the year ended  December
     31,  2002,  the Partnership incurred $53,514 of real  estate
     tax  expense  related  to 2001 and 2002  taxes  due  on  the
     property.   Due  to  the  uncertainty  of  collection,   the
     Partnership  expensed  the taxes,  which  are  normally  the
     responsibility of the lessee.

     As  of  June  30,  2002,  based on  an  analysis  of  market
     conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value  of
     the  Denny's restaurant was approximately $700,000.  In  the
     second  quarter  of  2002, a charge to operations  for  real
     estate  impairment of $171,397 was recognized which  is  the
     difference  between  the book value  at  June  30,  2002  of
     $871,397  and  the estimated fair value of  $700,000.    The
     charge  was recorded against the cost of the land,  building
     and equipment.

     In   November  2002,  HRG  closed  the  restaurant  due   to
     continuing  operating losses and indicated that if  HRG  was
     forced to file for bankruptcy protection, the Lease would be
     rejected.   After reviewing the financial condition  of  HRG
     and its owners and the operating results of the property, in
     December 2002, the Partnership reached a settlement with the
     parties  to terminate the Lease and release the owners  from
     their  Lease  guarantee.  The Partnership  received  a  cash
     payment of $66,896 and a $100,000 Promissory Note from  HRG,
     which was guaranteed by its owners.  The Partnership applied
     $28,963  of the payment against the real estate tax  expense
     discussed    above.    The   balance   of   the   settlement
     consideration  of  $137,933  is shown  as  Lease  Settlement
     Income  for  the  year ended December 31, 2002.   While  the
     property  was  vacant, the Partnership was  responsible  for
     real  estate taxes and other costs required to maintain  the
     property.

     On  December  30,  2002,  the Partnership  entered  into  an
     agreement  to sell the property for $500,000 to an unrelated
     third  party.  In the fourth quarter of 2002,  a  charge  to
     operations  for  real  estate  impairment  of  $220,837  was
     recognized, which was the difference between the book  value
     at  December 31, 2002 of $690,837 and the estimated net sale
     proceeds  of  $470,000. The charge was recorded against  the
     cost  of  the land and building.  At December 31, 2002,  the
     land  and  building were classified as Real Estate Held  for
     Sale.  On May 22, 2003, the sale closed with the Partnership
     receiving net sale proceeds of $467,789, which resulted in a
     net  loss  of  $2,211.  At the time of sale,  the  cost  and
     related  accumulated depreciation was $636,198 and $166,198,
     respectively.

     Maryville,  Tennessee  to  an unrelated  third  party.   The
     Partnership  received net sale proceeds of  $147,133,  which
     resulted  in  a net gain of $58,149.  The cost  and  related
     accumulated  depreciation of the interest sold was  $110,276
     and $21,292, respectively.

     agreement to sell the JEMCARE Learning Center to the lessee.
     On  March  7,  2003,  the sale closed with  the  Partnership

     accumulated   depreciation   was   $999,162   and   $87,882,
     respectively.

     On March 3, 2003, the Partnership purchased a parcel of land
     in  Pharr,  Texas  for  $781,000.  The Partnership  obtained
     title  to  the land in the form of an undivided  fee  simple
     interest.  The land is leased to Kona Restaurant Group, Inc.
     (KRG)  under  a Lease Agreement with a primary  term  of  17
     years and annual rental payments of $78,100.  Simultaneously
     with  the purchase of the land, the Partnership entered into
     a   Development   Financing  Agreement   under   which   the
     Partnership advanced funds to KRG for the construction of  a
     Johnny  Carino's  restaurant on the site.  Pursuant  to  the
     Lease,  any improvements to the land during the term of  the
     Lease  become  the property of the lessor.  The  Partnership
     charged  interest  on the advances at a  rate  of  10%.   On
     September 30, 2003, after the development was completed, the
     Lease   Agreement  was  amended  to  require  annual  rental
     payments  of  $200,600.  Total acquisition costs,  including
     the cost of the land, were $1,996,913.

     Subsequent  to December 31, 2003, the Partnership  sold  its
     remaining   89.1575%   interest  in  the   Johnny   Carino's
     restaurant,  in  five  separate transactions,  to  unrelated
     third  parties.   The Partnership received  total  net  sale
     proceeds  of approximately $2,270,000, which resulted  in  a
     net  gain of approximately $500,000.  At December 31,  2003,
     the  property  was classified as Real Estate Held  for  Sale
     with a book value of $1,770,391.

     On August 27, 2003, the Partnership purchased a 21% interest
     in  a  Garden  Ridge  retail store in Woodlands,  Texas  for
     $1,746,370.   The property is leased to Garden  Ridge,  L.P.
     under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years  and
     annual rental payments of $197,932.

     During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Partnership sold  its
     interest  in the Garden Ridge retail store, in five separate
     transactions,  to unrelated third parties.  The  Partnership
     received  total  net  sale  proceeds  of  $2,032,178,  which
     resulted  in  a  net gain of $299,527.  The total  cost  and
     related  accumulated depreciation of the interests sold  was

     distributed $65,206 of net sale proceeds to the Limited  and
     General   Partners  as  part  of  their  regular   quarterly
     distributions which represented a return of capital of $8.89
     per   Limited  Partnership  Unit.   In  December  2003,  the
     Partnership  distributed $1,010,101 of net sale proceeds  to
     the  Limited and General Partners as part of their quarterly
     distributions  which  represented a  return  of  capital  of
     $137.82  per  Limited Partnership Unit.  The  remaining  net
     sale  proceeds  will  either  be  reinvested  in  additional
     property or distributed to the Partners in the future.

(8)  Partners' Capital -

     Cash  distributions of $14,448 and $4,267 were made  to  the
     General  Partners and $1,430,341 and $422,407 were  made  to
     the  Limited Partners for the years ended December 31,  2003
     and 2002, respectively.  The Limited Partners' distributions
     represent  $197.02 and $58.17 per Limited  Partnership  Unit
     outstanding using 7,260 and 7,261 weighted average Units  in
     2003  and  2002, respectively.  The distributions  represent
     $197.02 and $5.11 per Unit of Net Income and $-0- and $53.06
     per  Unit of return of contributed capital in 2003 and 2002,
     respectively.

     As  part  of  the  Limited  Partner distributions  discussed
     above, the Partnership distributed $1,000,000 and $64,554 of
     proceeds from property sales in 2003 and 2002, respectively.
     The  distributions  reduced the Limited  Partners'  Adjusted
     Capital Contributions.

     Distributions  of  Net  Cash Flow to  the  General  Partners
     during  2003  and  2002  were subordinated  to  the  Limited
     Partners  as  required in the Partnership Agreement.   As  a
     result,  99% of distributions were allocated to the  Limited
     Partners and 1% to the General Partners.

     The  Partnership may acquire Units from Limited Partners who
     have tendered their Units to the Partnership. Such Units may
     be acquired at a discount.  The Partnership is not obligated
     to  purchase in any year more than 5% of the number of Units
     outstanding at the beginning of the year.  In no event shall
     the  Partnership be obligated to purchase Units if,  in  the
     sole  discretion  of  the  Managing  General  Partner,  such
     purchase  would  impair  the capital  or  operation  of  the
     Partnership.

     During  2003, one Limited Partner redeemed five  Partnership
     Units   for   $1,523  in  accordance  with  the  Partnership
     Agreement.  The Partnership acquired these Units  using  Net
     Cash Flow from operations.  During 2002, the Partnership did
     not  redeem  any  units  from  the  Limited  Partners.   The
     redemptions   increase  the  remaining   Limited   Partners'
     ownership interest in the Partnership.  As a result of  this
     redemption   payment   and  pursuant  to   the   Partnership
     Agreement,  the General Partners received a distribution  of
     $15 in 2003.

     After  the  effect of redemptions and the return of  capital
     from   the   sale   of   property,  the   Adjusted   Capital
     Contribution,  as defined in the Partnership  Agreement,  is
     $802.38 per original $1,000 invested.

(10) Fair Value of Financial Instruments -

     The estimated fair values of the financial instruments, none
     of  which  are held for trading purposes, are as follows  at
     December 31:

                                    2003                  2002

     It  is not currently practical to estimate the fair value of
     the  Note Receivable because this agreement contains  unique
     terms  and conditions, which were negotiated at arms  length
     with  HRG,  as  discussed in Note 7.  There  is  no  readily
     determinable similar instrument on which to base an estimate
     of fair value.

          ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

       None.

ITEM 8A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

       (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

        Under  the  supervision  and with  the  participation  of
management, including its President and Chief Financial  Officer,
the  Managing  General Partner of the Partnership  evaluated  the
effectiveness  of  the  design and operation  of  its  disclosure
controls  and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under  the
Exchange  Act).   Based upon that evaluation, the  President  and
Chief Financial Officer of the Managing General Partner concluded
that,  as  of  the end of the period covered by this report,  the
disclosure  controls  and  procedures  of  the  Partnership   are
adequately  designed to ensure that information  required  to  be
disclosed  by  us  in  the reports we file or  submit  under  the
Exchange  Act  is recorded, processed, summarized  and  reported,
within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms.

       (b)  Changes in internal controls

         There   were   no  significant  changes  made   in   the
Partnership's  internal controls during the  most  recent  period
covered  by  this  report that have materially affected,  or  are
reasonably   likely  to  materially  affect,  the   Partnership's
internal control over financial reporting.


                            PART III

ITEM 9.DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL
       PERSONS; COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE
       ACT.

        The  registrant  is  a  limited partnership  and  has  no
officers,  directors, or direct employees.  The General  Partners
manage  and  control the Partnership's affairs and  have  general
responsibility  and  the  ultimate  authority  in   all   matters
affecting  the Partnership's business.  The General Partners  are
AEI  Fund  Management  86-A,  Inc. (AFM),  the  Managing  General
Partner,   and  Robert  P.  Johnson,  Chief  Executive   Officer,
President  and  sole  director  of AFM,  the  Individual  General
Partner.   AFM  is  a  wholly  owned subsidiary  of  AEI  Capital
Corporation  of  which  Mr. Johnson is the majority  shareholder.
AFM  has only one senior financial executive, its Chief Financial
Officer.   The  Chief Financial Officer reports directly  to  Mr.
Johnson  and  is  accountable for his  actions  to  Mr.  Johnson.
Although Mr. Johnson and AFM require that all of their personnel,
including  the  Chief  Financial Officer, engage  in  honest  and
ethical  conduct,  ensure  full,  fair,  accurate,  timely,   and
understandable    disclosure,   comply   with   all    applicable
governmental  laws,  rules and regulations,  and  report  to  Mr.
Johnson   any  deviation  from  these  principles,  because   the
organization  is  composed of only approximately 35  individuals,
because  the  management of a partnership by an entity  that  has
different  interests in distributions and income  than  investors
involves numerous conflicts of interest that must be resolved  on
a  daily  basis, and because the ultimate decision maker  in  all
instances  is Mr. Johnson, AFM has not adopted a formal  code  of
conduct.   Instead,  the materials pursuant  to  which  investors
purchase Units disclose these conflicts of interest in detail and
Mr.  Johnson,  as  the  CEO and sole director  of  AFM,  resolves
conflicts  to  the  best  of  his ability,  consistent  with  his
fiduciary obligations to AFM and the fiduciary obligations of AFM
to  the  Partnership.  The director and officers of  AFM  are  as
follows:

ITEM 9.   DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL
          PERSONS; COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE
          ACT.

        Robert  P.  Johnson, age 59, is Chief Executive  Officer,
President  and  sole director and has held these positions  since
the  formation of AFM in December 1985, and has been  elected  to
continue  in these positions until December 2004.  From  1970  to
the  present, he has been employed exclusively in the  investment
industry,  specializing  in  tax-advantaged  limited  partnership
investments.   In  that  capacity, he has been  involved  in  the
development,  analysis, marketing and management  of  public  and
private investment programs investing in net lease properties  as
well  as  public  and  private investment programs  investing  in
energy  development.   Since  1971,  Mr.  Johnson  has  been  the
president,  a  director  and  a  registered  principal   of   AEI
Securities,  Inc.,  which  is  registered  with  the  SEC  as   a
securities broker-dealer, is a member of the National Association
of  Securities  Dealers,  Inc. (NASD) and  is  a  member  of  the
Security  Investors Protection Corporation (SIPC).   Mr.  Johnson
has  been president, a director and the principal shareholder  of
AEI  Fund  Management,  Inc., a real  estate  management  company
founded  by him, since 1978.  Mr. Johnson is currently a  general
partner  or principal of the general partner in thirteen  limited
partnerships and a managing member in three LLCs.

        Patrick  W.  Keene,  age 44, is Chief Financial  Officer,
Treasurer  and  Secretary  and has  held  these  positions  since
January  22,  2003  and  has been elected to  continue  in  these
positions  until December 2004.  Mr. Keene has been  employed  by
AEI  Fund  Management, Inc. and affiliated entities  since  1986.
Prior  to being elected to the positions above, he was Controller
of  the various entities.  From 1982 to 1986, Mr. Keene was  with
KPMG  Peat  Marwick  Certified Public Accountants,  first  as  an
auditor and later as a tax manager.  Mr. Keene is responsible for
all accounting functions of AFM and the registrant.

       Since Mr. Johnson serves as the Individual General Partner
of  the Partnership, as well as the sole director of AFM, all  of
the  duties  that  might be assigned to an  audit  committee  are
assigned  to Mr. Johnson.  Mr. Johnson is not an audit  committee
financial expert, as defined.  As an officer and majority  owner,
through  a parent company, of AFM, and as the Individual  General
Partner, Mr. Johnson is not a "disinterested director" and may be
subject to a number of conflicts of interests in his capacity  as
sole director of AFM.

        Before the independent auditors are engaged, Mr. Johnson,
as the sole director of AFM, approves all audit-related fees, and
all permissible nonaudit fees, for services of our auditors.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

        Under federal securities laws, the directors and officers
of  the  General  Partner of the Partnership, and any  beneficial
owner  of  more than 10% of a class of equity securities  of  the
Partnership,  are  required  to report  their  ownership  of  the
Partnership's equity securities and any changes in such ownership
to  the  Securities  and Exchange Commission (the  "Commission").
Specific due dates for these reports have been established by the
Commission, and the Partnership is required to disclose  in  this
Annual  Report on 10-KSB  any delinquent filing of  such  reports
and any failure to file such reports during the fiscal year ended
December  31,  2003.   With the exception of Patrick  Keene,  who
filed  his  initial report on Form 3 late, based upon information
provided  by  officers and directors of the General Partner,  all
officers, directors and 10% owners filed all reports on a  timely
basis in the 2003 fiscal year.

ITEM 10.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

        The General Partner and affiliates are reimbursed at cost
for  all  services performed on behalf of the registrant and  for
all  third party expenses paid on behalf of the registrant.   The
cost for services performed on behalf of the registrant is actual
time  spent  performing such services plus  an  overhead  burden.
These  services include organizing the registrant  and  arranging
for  the  offer  and  sale  of Units,  reviewing  properties  for
acquisition and rendering administrative, property management and
property  sales services.  The amount and nature of such payments
are detailed in Item 12 of this annual report on Form 10-KSB.

the   ownership  of  the  Units  by  each  person  known  by  the
Partnership to beneficially own 5% or more of the Units, by  each
General  Partner, and by each officer or director of the Managing
General Partner as of February 29, 2004:

The  persons  set forth in the preceding table hold  sole  voting
power  and power of disposition with respect to all of the  Units
set forth opposite their names.  The General Partners know of  no
holders of more than 5% of the outstanding Units.

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

        The  registrant,  AFM  and  its  affiliates  have  common
management and utilize the same facilities.  As a result, certain
administrative  expenses  are  allocated  among   these   related
entities.   All  of  such activities and any  other  transactions
involving the affiliates of the General Partner of the registrant
are  governed  by,  and  are conducted in  conformity  with,  the
limitations set forth in the Limited Partnership Agreement of the
registrant.   Reference  is  made to  Note  3  of  the  Financial
Statements,   as  presented,  and  is  incorporated   herein   by
reference, for details of related party transactions.
