                                 PART II


ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR THE PARTNERSHIP'S SECURITIES AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER
          MATTERS

 a) Market Information

 The Partnership's only authorized equity securities are Limited Partnership
Interests ("Interests").
On February 2, 1987, the Partnership satisfied the initial escrow requirements
and investors were admitted
to the Partnership as limited partners except for New York investors who were
admitted to the Partnership
April 30, 1987, due to special escrow requirements for those investors. The
offering of such Interests by
the Partnership terminated on August 31, 1988, at which time 20,653.69 had
been sold to the public at
a price of $250 per Interest. Of the Interests sold, 16,699.69 Interests were
sold during 1987 and 3,954
were sold from January 1, 1988, to August 31, 1988. No additional Interests
have been sold.
Management is not aware of a formal public trading market, however, there has
been an emergence of
activity through partnership matching services.

 b) Security Holders

          NUMBER OF RECORD HOLDERS      NUMBER OF INTERESTS
 TITLE OF CLASS      (AS OF FEBRUARY 28, 1998)         (AS OF FEBRUARY 28, 1998)

Limited Partnership
Interests       655            20,653.69

 c) Dividends or Similar Distributions

 The amount of cash distributions to Limited Partners will depend upon
attaining and thereafter
maintaining operating income and expenses of the Partnership at levels
permitting distributions.
Distributions of cash, if any, will be made from: (i) Cash Available for
Distribution; (ii) cash from
property sales, and (iii) cash from Partnership reserve accounts.

 "Cash Available for Distribution" is defined in the Partnership Agreement to
include Net Cash
Flow less amounts set aside for Reserves plus the amount of any General
Partner Loan for such period.
"Net Cash Flow" is defined as the Partnership's cash funds provided from
operations and Reserves,
including lease payments on net leases from builders and sellers, without
deductions for depreciation, but
after deducting funds used to pay all Operating Expenses, deferred fees, other
expenses, debt payments,
capital improvements and replacements. The Partnership will make distributions
of Cash Available for
Distribution within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter commencing
at the end of the first full
calendar quarter following that in which the Escrow Break occurs. Cash
Available for Distribution will
be distributed 100% to the Limited Partners until the earlier of (i) the first
anniversary of the date of the
Prospectus or (ii) termination of this offering. Thereafter, Cash Available
for Distribution will be
distributed 95% to the Limited Partners and 5% to the General Partners,
provided that the payment to the
General Partners will be reduced and paid to Limited Partners unless and until
the cumulative cash
distributions to the Limited Partners equal at least 8.5% of their Capital
Investment on an annualized basis
(the "Subordination Rate"). The General Partners anticipate that the
Partnership will continue to make
cash distributions to its Limited Partners in 1998, though the amount of Cash
Available for future
Distributions will depend in part on the performance of the Partnership's
investments, and there can be
no assurance as to the amount, if any, that may be distributed. The
partnership continued cash
distributions in 1997 with an aggregate of $185,883 to its Limited Partners.
Distributions for 1997 were
at a rate that equaled 3.6% on their capital investment.

 After repayment of any General Partner Loan, Sale Proceeds will be
distributed as follows: (i) to
the Limited Partners, an amount equal to 100% of their Capital Investment;
(ii) then 100% to the Limited
Partners until they have received an amount equal to 10% per annum simple
interest cumulative on
Capital Investment, less prior distributions of Cash Available for
Distribution; (iii) then an amount to the
General Partners equal to 12% of the Sale Proceeds remaining after return to
all Partners of an amount
equal to 100% of their Capital Investment, but not more than an amount equal
to 15% of Sales Proceeds
remaining after return to the Partners of their Capital Investment and an
amount to the Limited Partners
(including prior distributions of Net Interest on Partnership Subscriptions
and Cash Available for
Distribution) equal to 6% simple interest per annum, cumulative, commencing at
the end of the calendar
quarter in which each Limited Partner's Original Capital Contribution is made;
and (iv) all remaining
proceeds to the Limited Partners. The Partnership will continue in existence
until December 31, 2006,
unless terminated earlier by disposition of all of its assets or certain other
events. The Partnership will
commence liquidating its properties as soon as feasiblely possible, depending
upon, among other factors,
whether the Partnership's investment objectives are met including, potential
capital appreciation, cash
flow, and federal income tax consequences to its Limited Partners.

Association of Community College Trustees.

 John Vishnevsky is or was the Individual General Partner of National Real
Estate Limited
Partnership-II (NRELP-II), National Real Estate Limited Partnership-III
(NRELP-III), National Real
Estate Limited Partnership-IV (NRELP-IV), National Real Estate Limited
Partnership-V (NRELP-V),
National Real Estate Limited Partnership-VI (NRELP-VI), National Real Estate
Limited Partnership
Income Properties (NRELP-IP) and the Partnership among others. NDII is or was
a corporate general
partner of NRELP-IV, NRELP-V, NRELP-VI, NRELP-IP, and the Partnership, among
others. EC Corp.
is or was a corporate general partner of NRELP-VI, NRELP-IP and the
Partnership, among others. The
Boards of Directors of the Partnership's Corporate General Partners, NDII and
EC Corp., may be deemed
to be interlocking.


ITEM 10.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 As stated above, the Partnership has no officers or directors. The officers
and directors of the
Corporate General Partners receive no current or proposed direct remuneration
in such capacities,
pursuant to any standard arrangement or otherwise, from either the Corporate
General Partners or from
the Partnership, with the exception of those directors which are not employees
of NDII, EC Corp. and
affiliates, to whom an annual director's fee of $50 per director is paid
by NDII.

 Pursuant to the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, net profits and
losses from operations
and Cash Available for Distribution are allocated 95% to the Limited Partners
and 5% to the General
Partners. For such 5% interest, the General Partners contributed $1,000 to the
Partnership. For the fiscal
period ended December 31, 1997, this interest resulted in net taxable income
to the Individual General
Partner of approximately $867.  There were no cash distributions to the
Individual General Partner during
1997, as outlined in the Prospectus.

 The Partnership will commence liquidating its properties as soon as
feasiblely possible. This will
be dependent upon, among other factors, the then current real estate and money
markets, economic
climate, and income tax consequences to the Limited Partners. The General
Partners will be distributed
an amount equal to 12% of the remaining sale proceeds after return to the
Limited Partners of an amount
equal to 100% of their Capital Investment, but not more than an amount equal
to 15% of sale proceeds
remaining after return to the partners of their Capital Investment and an
amount to the Limited Partners
equal to 6% simple interest per annum. This distribution to the General
Partner is subordinated to
cumulative noncompounded distribution of Sale proceeds and Cash Available for
Distribution to the
Limited Partners equal to 10% per annum on their Capital Investment. An
affiliate may also receive real
estate commissions of up to 3% of the aggregate selling price of the
properties. Upon liquidation of the
Partnership, all liquidation proceeds will be distributed to the Partners in
proportion to their Net Capital
Accounts.

 The Partnership is engaged in various transactions involving affiliates of
the General Partners as
described in the Prospectus. Notes 2 and 6 of the Partnership's financial
statements of the annual report
to Partners for the year ended December 31, 1997 are incorporated herein by
reference.

 The contracts between the Partnership and affiliates, including the February
28, 1992 purchase
of Amberwood (as described in the Business section of the Partnership's annual
report to investors),
provide that the compensation, price, or fee must be comparable and
competitive with the compensation,
price, or fee of any other person whose services could reasonably be made
available to the Partnership.
The General Partners believe compensation to affiliates for services to the
Partnership was on terms no
less favorable to the Partnership than would have been available through
arm's-length negotiations for
similar services from unrelated parties.


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 Interests of the Partnership.

 (b) By virtue of its organization as a limited partnership, the Partnership
has no officers or
directors. The General Partners are responsible for management of the
Partnership, subject to certain
limited democracy rights of the Limited Partners described in the Limited
Partnership Agreement. Persons
or entities performing functions similar to those of officers and directors of
the Partnership who
beneficially own in aggregate the following Interests of the Partnership as of
February 28, 1998.

              Name of         Amount and Nature of    Percent of
   Title of Class    Beneficial Owner    Beneficial Ownership          Class   

Limited Partnership  John Vishnevsky              8.69 Interests        .04%
      Interests                    Sole Investment Power


ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 Neither the General Partners nor their affiliates were indebted to the
Partnership during the year
ended December 31, 1997.

 On February 28, 1992 the Partnership purchased twelve units of Amberwood
Apartments from
National Real Estate Limited Partnership-VI ("NRELP-VI"). The General Partners
of NIP-II were the
same General Partners of NRELP-VI and therefore the Partnerships were
"affiliates" (as described in the
Prospectus). A detailed description of the purchase may be found in the
Business section of the annual
report to Partners for the year ended December 31, 1997 incorporated herein 
by reference.

 There were no other transactions with management other than the Partnership's
transactions with
the General Partners and affiliates as described in this report at Items 9,
10, 11 and 12.

      NATIONAL REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INCOME PROPERTIES-II


BUSINESS

 The Registrant, National Real Estate Limited Partnership Income Properties-II
(the "Partnership"),
is a limited partnership organized under the Wisconsin Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act pursuant
to a Certificate and an Agreement of Limited Partnership, each dated May 28,
1986. As of December 31,
1997, the Partnership consisted of an Individual General Partner, two
Corporate General Partners and 656
Limited Partners owning 20,653.69 limited partnership interests (the
"Interests") acquired at a public
offering price of $250 per Interest ($5,163,423 net). On February 2, 1987, the
Partnership satisfied its
escrow requirements and admitted Limited Partners to the Partnership except
for New York investors who
were admitted as of April 30, 1987, due to special escrow requirements for
those investors. The Interests
were sold commencing August 18, 1986, and ending August 31, 1988, pursuant to
a Registration
Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933 (Registration
#33-6337) as amended. The
Individual General Partner is John Vishnevsky and the Corporate General
Partners are National
Development and Investment, Inc. ("NDII"), a Wisconsin corporation and EC
Corp., a Wisconsin
corporation. All management decisions are the responsibility of the General 
Partners.

 The Partnership was organized to engage in the business of investing in,
operating, owning,
leasing, and improving interests in real estate, including developed as well
as undeveloped properties,
particularly apartment complexes. The Partnership's principal investment
objectives are to invest in real
estate properties which will:

 1)  preserve and protect the Limited Partners' capital investment;

 2)  provide quarterly distributions of Cash Available for Distribution;

 3)  provide capital appreciation through increases in the value of the
Partnership's real estate
     assets; and

 4)  acquire, own, and operate its investment properties with no use of
borrowed funds.

 The Partnership will continue in existence until December 31, 2006, unless
terminated earlier by
disposition of all of its assets or certain other events. The Partnership will
commence liquidating its
properties as soon as feasiblely possible, depending upon, among other
factors, whether the Partnership's
investment objectives are met including, potential capital appreciation, cash
flow, and federal income tax
consequences to its Limited Partners.

 On March 1, 1987, the Partnership acquired its first investment property, a
parcel of land
containing three of the five buildings of Cave Creek Mini-Warehouse, a self
storage mini-warehouse
rental complex located in Phoenix, Arizona. The Partnership acquired an
additional parcel of Cave Creek
on April 30, 1987, that consisted of part of a two-story building. On June 17,
1988, the Partnership
purchased a portion of Amberwood Apartments containing 36 apartment units
located near Holland,
Michigan. The Partnership acquired an additional portion of Amberwood
Apartments on September 16,
1988, that consisted of eight apartment units by exercising its option to
purchase those units. On February
28, 1992 the Partnership acquired the remaining twelve units of Amberwood
Apartments. The properties
are more fully described in this report at Properties.

 The real estate investment business is highly competitive. The Partnership's
properties are in
competition for tenants with numerous other alternative sources for storage or
housing, including
properties owned by the General Partners and their affiliates. The Partnership
does not have any plans
to acquire additional properties.

 The Partnership is not dependent upon a single tenant for its operating
success. The Partnership
does not foresee any events or market trends which would have a materially
adverse affect upon the
Partnership's revenues, except for increased competition for tenants, which is
discussed more fully at
Results of Operations.

 During 1997, the Partnership employed one full-time and six part-time on-site
personnel in the
following capacities: two managers, 2.5 rental agents, and 2.5 cleaning and
maintenance people. In
addition, due to the centralized nature of the Partnership's accounting and
management systems, another
16 employees provided various accounting and management services to this and
other partnerships. These
persons worked an average of approximately 1.9 hours per week on this
Partnership. Detailed time
records of all personnel are maintained which form the basis for charges to
the Partnership. All on-site
and partnership employees are supervised by NRMI under its Management
Consulting Delegation of
Duties and Property Management Agreements with the Partnership.

 The Partnership is engaged solely in the business of investing in and
managing real estate. Its
business is believed by management to fall entirely within a single industry
segment. The business of the
Partnership is not seasonal, although the Partnership's properties may
experience cyclical fluctuations in
occupancy levels in the rental markets where they are located.

 The General Partners are general partners for other limited partnerships that
have invested in real
estate which may be competitive with the Partnership. There may be conflicts
of interest between the
Partnership and the General Partners at such time as the Partnership attempts
to sell its properties or may
compete for tenants with the Partnership's investments. If properties are
being sold, the General Partners
will attempt to give equal exposure to competing properties and will sell
solely on the basis of purchaser
preference. The General Partners will establish asking prices based upon
market conditions. The General
Partners will follow a policy of renting first on the basis of the tenants'
preference and then on the basis
of greatest vacancy. In the hiring of resident building managers, the General
Partners will follow a policy
of filling the oldest vacancy first.

 The Partnership, by virtue of the ownership in real estate, is subject to
federal and state laws and
regulations covering various environmental issues. The General Partners are
not aware of any potential
liability related to environmental issues or conditions that would be material
to the Partnership.

 The Partnership has developed a plan to modify its information technology to
recognize the year
2000 and has begun converting critical data processing systems. The
Partnership currently expects the
project to be substantially complete by early 1999 and the cost to be
immaterial. The Partnership does
not expect this project to have a material adverse effect on the operations of
the Partnership.

PROPERTIES

 The properties in which the Partnership has invested are owned in fee simple.
Upon the 1992
purchase of twelve units of Amberwood Apartments the property is owned in fee
simple, subject to the
mortgage. The principal factors which the General Partners believe affect
rental rates and occupancy
levels include location, ease of access, amenities, and the quality of
property management. The
Partnership's investment properties are described below:

 CAVE CREEK

 Cave Creek Lock-It Lockers Mini-Warehouse (the "Complex") is located on
approximately 1.7
acres at 1201 East Cinnabar Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona. The 747 unit Complex
consists of three
individual one-story and two individual two-story buildings of which
construction was completed in July
1985. When the Partnership purchased Phase II on March 1, 1987, it acquired
one single-story and two-
story buildings located on approximately one acre of land. The Partnership
acquired Phase III on April
30, 1987, and it consisted of part of a two-story building. A fee simple title
has been acquired for both
Phase II and III. In addition to the five warehouse buildings, there is an
on-site office/apartment located
at the north end of one of the buildings. Security in the Complex is provided
by a resident manager and
a fenced perimeter with double-gate access to the property. The Partnership
has an interest in the
remaining portion of the Complex for access and use of the business office
facilities. National Real Estate
Limited Partnership Income Properties, another partnership of which the
General Partners are general
partners, owns the other portion.

 Cave Creek Lock-It Lockers has an aggregate of approximately 46,028 net
rentable square feet.
Units may be subdivided as the market demands; therefore, the total unit 
count fluctuates.

 The Partnership acquired approximately 27,255 net rentable square feet in the
three buildings it
purchased in Phase II and approximately 11,424 net rentable square feet in
Phase III. Phase II and III
represent approximately 82% of the total net rentable square feet of the 
Complex.


 AMBERWOOD APARTMENTS

 On June 17, 1988, the Partnership purchased Amberwood Apartments, together
with John
Vishnevsky, individually, and National Real Estate Limited Partnership-VI
("NRELP-VI"), a Wisconsin
limited partnership affiliated with the General Partners, from a corporation
not related to the Partnership.
The Partnership's portion as tenants-in-common originally encompassed 36
apartment units that were
converted into condominium units.

 On September 16, 1988, the Partnership purchased from John Vishnevsky,
individually, his
portion of Amberwood Apartments, encompassing eight apartment units which
during the period of
ownership by Mr. Vishnevsky had been converted to two condominium units of
four individual
apartments each.

 The Partnership purchased from NRELP-VI its portion of Amberwood Apartments,
encompassing twelve apartment units on February 28, 1992. During NRELP-VI's
ownership of the units, they were converted into condominium units.

 Amberwood is located on 5.753 acres at 39-152nd Avenue, Holland, Michigan.
Construction was
completed in early 1988. The complex consists of seven two-story buildings
containing 56 apartment units
with attached garages. Each unit features a private garage, utility room with
washer/dryer hookups,
woodburning fireplace, central heating and air conditioning, range,
refrigerator, garbage disposal,
dishwasher, microwave oven, walk-in closets, and a wood deck. Gas and electric
utilities are paid by the
tenants.

 The apartment mix and asking rents of Amberwood as of December, 1997 are as 
follows:

 Amberwood is in Park Township on the north side of the City of Holland,
Michigan. The shores
of Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa are only minutes away. The Project is five
minutes from the north
side retail area and ten minutes from the Holland business district.

 The Phoenix and Holland real estate markets are competitive. For a further
discussion of
occupancy rates, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of
Operations contained in this report. Additional real estate projects may be
built in these areas, which may
compete directly with the Partnership's properties.

 The General Partners feel that the Partnership is adequately covered by
insurance on the
properties.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 The Partnership is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings
other than ordinary
routine litigation incidental to its business.


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS 
OF OPERATIONS

 Information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB contains -looking
 statements'
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
which can be identified by
the use of forward-looking terminology such as -looking statements, including
certain risks and
uncertainties, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contemplated in such forward-
looking statements. Such factors, which could adversely affect the
Partnership's ability to obtain these
results, include, among other things, (i) the volume of transactions and
prices for real estate in the real
estate markets generally, (ii) a general or regional economic downturn which
could create a recession in
the real estate markets, (iii) the Partnership's debt level and its ability to
make interest and principal
payments, (iv) an increase in expenses related to new initiatives, investments
in people and technology,
and service improvements, (v) the success of the new initiatives and
investments and (vi) other factors
described elsewhere in this Annual Report.

 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 On February 2, 1987, the Partnership attained subscriptions from investors in
excess of the minimum
offering amounts. All proceeds received in trust and deposited with First
Wisconsin Trust Company in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, became available for Partnership purposes (except for
subscriptions from New
York investors, which became available on April 30, 1987). The Partnership
sold Interests in the
aggregate amount of $5,163,423. Such proceeds were used to pay offering costs
to purchase the properties
described in this report at Properties, to pay costs related to purchasing
such properties, and to meet
capital requirements for operations.

 During 1997, the Partnership made cash distributions to its limited partners
totaling $185,883.
Distributions from 1997 were at a rate that equaled 3.6% on investors' capital
investment. The
Partnership's ability to maintain and/or increase distributions during 1998 is
dependent upon the results
of operations; therefore, no assurance as to the distribution amount, if any,
can be made. The Partnership 
is planning to expend from operating cash flow about $30,000 for various
painting projects and asphalt
work at both properties and for some roofing at Cave Creek

 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 During 1997, the Partnership operated two investment properties: Cave Creek
Lock-It-Lockers and
Amberwood Apartments.

 At Cave Creek Lock-It Lockers asking rents remained the same as 1996 and as
of December 31,
1997 ranged from $15 to $135, based on unit size. Average annual occupancy was
95%, and 94% in
1997, and 1996 respectively. Marketing efforts are directed primarily through
the use of Yellow Pages
advertising, which is the main source of traffic. Management uses resident
referral coupons for all current
tenants, offering a discount if they send us new clients. The managers are
marketing the lockers to
neighboring businesses and apartment communities, using neighborhood business
coupon flyers. Their
marketing efforts and excellent customer service will continue to help
occupancy remain strong.

 At Amberwood, average occupancy during the fourth quarter of 1997 was 95% as
compared to 87%
for the same period in 1996. Year to date occupancy for 1997 is 91% as
compared to 93% in 1996. The
year to date occupancy percentage for 1997 is heavily influenced by the first
five months of the year with
average occupancy from June 1 through December 31 being at 97%.

 Amberwood advertises in the Holland Sentinel, Select Living (apartment
guide), and the yellow
pages, both Ameritech and TDI. Periodic mailings are made to area real estate
agents and brokers, and
the leasing consultants keep in close contact with the Human Resource
Departments of area businesses
and industry. Lease expiration dates have been staggered to avoid leases
expiring during slower periods.
There is a strong emphasis on customer service because in a small community
such as Holland word
travels fast when you have a nice, well maintained community and satisfied
residents. Current residents
and real estate brokers can receive a $50 rent credit or referral fee for new
rentals. All new residents
receive a welcome gift basket and a personalized card from the staff at
Amberwood upon move in. The
area economy is stabilizing with some companies adding staff while some are
laying off or implementing
hiring freezes. Extra effort has been given to having the property in A+
condition because of all the new
competition.

 For the Partnership, operating revenues increased 5.2% in 1997 as compared to
1996 due to the
factors noted above. Amberwood's total revenues were $445,660 in 1997 as
compared to $425,583 in
1996. Amberwood's revenues increased 3.6%, mostly due to increased Redi-Home
income. Cave Creek's
total revenue was $295,204 in 1997 as compared to $278,320 in 1996. Cave
Creek's revenues increased
6% compared to 1996 due to an increase in rental rates. Operating expenses
increased 26% primarily due
to expenses associated with Amberwood's increased Redi-Home activity (9%) and
personnel increases
associated with Amberwood (8%) and Cave Creek (3%). Maintenance costs
increased 15% due to costs
associated with a drainage ditch clean up project (5%) and HVAC work (2.5%) at
Cave Creek; and
interior painting, asphalt work, and other common area repairs (9%) at
Amberwood. Advertising costs
increased 66% due to increased marketing at Amberwood necessary to attract
residents in a softening
market.

 Reference is made to Notes 2 and 6 of the Partnership's financial statements
for a discussion of
various fees charged to the Partnership.

 INFLATION

 The General Partners believe the Partnership's ability to increase rental
rates would offset any
adverse effects inflation might have on the Partnership's cost of operations.
Inflation may also tend to
cause capital appreciation of the Partnership's properties over a period of
time as rental rates and
replacement costs of properties continue to increase. However, the effects of
inflation on real estate may
be influenced by general or local economic conditions. Future results are
subject to uncertainty and the
ability of the Partnership to achieve certain results is largely beyond the
control of the General Partners
and their affiliates.








                                    
                                    
                     Report of Independent Auditors

The Partners
National Real Estate Limited Partnership Income Properties

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of National Real Estate Limited
Partnership Income
Properties 31, 1997. 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 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the
financial position of the Partnership at December 31, 1997, and the results of
its operations and its cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in
conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

National Real Estate Limited Partnership Income PropertiesII (the Partnership)
                           was organized as a
limited partnership under the laws of the State of Wisconsin pursuant to a
                           Certificate and an
Agreement of Limited Partnership (the Agreement) dated May 28, 1986, for the
                          purpose of investing
primarily in commercial and residential real property and began operations in
                           February 1987. The
     Partnership is to be dissolved on or before December 31, 2006.
                                    
The Partnership consists of three General Partners, National Development and
                         Investment, Inc., John
Vishnevsky and EC Corp., and 656 Limited Partners at December 31, 1997. Mr.

president and majority stockholder of National Development and Investment,
                            Inc. EC Corp. was
admitted to the Partnership effective July 26, 1991, as approved by the
                            Limited Partners.

adjusted to the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis of
                          accounting, including
adjustments for differences in depreciation methods. Certain accrual and tax

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 amounts
reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those 
estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Partnership considers all short-term investments which have original
maturities of three months or less
when purchased to be cash equivalents.

INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

Investment properties are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the
straight-line method using
estimated useful lives of 30 years for the buildings and improvements and 5
years for related equipment.

The Partnership evaluates the investment property periodically for indication
of impairment, including
recurring operating losses and other significant adverse changes in the
business climate that affect the
recovery of the recorded asset value. If investment property is considered
impaired, a loss is provided to
reduce the net carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value.
Management is not aware of any
indicator that would result in any significant impairment loss.

DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS

Deferred financing costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the
term of the agreement and
are included as a component of interest expense on the financial statements.

FEES TO AFFILIATES

Poperty management fees are payable currently to the General Partners or
affiliates of the General
Partners. 

Fees for property management and rental services are being charged to expense
over the period property
management services are being performed.

ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Pursuant to the Agreement, net income and losses from operations (exclusive of
those from the sale or
disposition of Partnership properties) are to be allocated 95% to the Limited
Partners and 5% to the
General Partners. Any gains from the sale or disposition of Partnership
properties are to be allocated first
to the Limited Partners to eliminate any deficit in their net capital
accounts; then to the General Partners
to eliminate any deficit in their net capital accounts; then to the Limited
Partners in an amount equal to
their initial capital investment plus any amount remaining to be paid under
their cumulative preference;
then to the General Partners in an amount equal to the proceeds of such sale
distributed to them; and all
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

remaining amounts are to be allocated to the Limited Partners provided that at
least 1% of the gain from
sale or disposition is to be allocated to the General Partners. Losses from
the sale or other disposition of
Partnership properties are to be allocated 88% to the Limited Partners and 12%
to the General Partners. 

Cash available for distribution, as defined in the Agreement, was distributed
100% to the Limited Partners until August 1987 and, thereafter, such 
distributions are to be made 95% to the Limited Partners and 5%
to the General Partners, except that the General Partners' right to
participate in such distributions is
subordinated to cumulative payments to the Limited Partners of at least 8.5%
of their capital investment
on an annualized basis. 

After the repayment of any General Partner's loans and subject to the right to
reinvest such proceeds until
three years after termination of the Partnership's initial offering of
interests, proceeds of sale or disposition
of Partnership properties are to be distributed as follows: (i) 100% to all
partners until they have received
an amount equal to their capital investment (first to the Limited Partners and
then to the General Partners);
(ii) then 100% to the Limited Partners until they have received an amount
equal to their cumulative
preference of 10% simple interest per annum; (iii) then an amount to the
General Partners equal to 12%
of such proceeds remaining after return to all Partners of an amount equal to
100% of their capital
investment, but not more than an amount equal to 15% of such proceeds
remaining after return to all
partners of their capital investment and an amount to the Limited Partners
(including prior distributions
of cash available for distribution) equal to 6% simple interest per annum,
cumulative; and (iv) all
remaining amounts to the Limited Partners.

NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST

Net income per Limited Partnership interest is based on net income as
allocated to the Limited Partners
divided by the weighted average number of interests outstanding during the year.

4. MORTGAGE NOTE PAYABLE

During 1997, the mortgage note payable was refinanced. The new loan for
$550,000 bears interest at a
variable rate of interest (based on five year Treasury securities) plus 2.25%
adjusting to 2.35% on May 1,
2002 (8.4% at December 31, 1997). Monthly payments of principal and interest
are due based on a twenty-
five year amortization schedule, which also adjusts on May 1, 2002. All unpaid
principal and interest is due
on April 1, 2007. The mortgage loan payable is collateralized by Amberwood
Apartments with a carrying
value of $546,217 at December 31, 1997. Interest paid was $44,587 and $48,083
in 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

Annual maturities of notes payable are as follows:

           1998                          $   7,100
           1999                          7,700

5. INCOME TAXES

The Partnership pays no income taxes. Partnership losses or income and taxes
attributable thereto will be the
responsibility of the various Partners.

Differences between the net income as reported herein and the net income
reported for federal income tax
