                      INLAND'S MONTHLY INCOME FUND, L.P.

                                  (unaudited)


Readers of this  Quarterly  Report  should  refer  to the Partnership's audited
financial statements for the  fiscal  year  ended  December 31, 1997, which are
included  in  the  Partnership's  1997   Annual  Report,  as  certain  footnote
disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited
financial statements have been omitted from this Report.

(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting

Inland's Monthly Income Fund, L.P. (the "Partnership"), was formed on March 26,
1987 pursuant to  the  Delaware  Revised  Uniform  Limited  Partnership Act, to
invest in improved residential,  retail,  industrial and other income producing
properties.  On August 3, 1987, the Partnership commenced an Offering of 50,000
(subject to an  increase  up  to  60,000)  Limited  Partnership Units ("Units")
pursuant to a Registration  Statement  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933. The
Offering terminated on August 3, 1988, with total sales of 59,999 Units at $500
per Unit, resulting in  gross  offering  proceeds of $29,999,500, not including
the General Partner's contribution of $500.   All of the holders of these Units
were admitted to the Partnership.  Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation is
the General Partner.  The  Limited  Partners  of  the  Partnership share in the
benefits  of  ownership  of  the  Partnership's  real  property  investments in
proportion to the number of Units held. The Partnership has repurchased a total
of 713 Units  for  $356,676  from  various  Limited  Partners  through the Unit
Repurchase Program.  There are no  funds  remaining for the repurchase of Units
through this program.

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

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  No.  121 ("SFAS 121") requires the
Partnership to record  an  impairment  loss  on  its  property  to  be held for
investment whenever  its  carrying  value  cannot  be  fully  recovered through
estimated undiscounted future cash flows  from  their operations and sale.  The
amount of the impairment loss to  be recognized would be the difference between
the property's carrying value  and  the  property's  estimated fair value.  The
adoption of SFAS 121 did  not  have  any  effect on the Partnership's financial
position, results of operations or  liquidity.    As of September 30, 1998, the
Partnership has not recognized any such impairment. 

Offering costs have been offset against the Limited Partners' capital accounts.

                                  (continued)

                              September 30, 1998

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method.  Buildings and
improvements are based upon estimated  useful  lives  of  30 to 40 years, while
furniture and fixtures are based upon estimated  useful lives of 5 to 12 years.
Repair  and  maintenance  expenses  are  charged  to  operations  as  incurred.
Significant improvements are capitalized  and  depreciated over their estimated
useful lives. Tenant improvements are depreciated over the related lease term.

The Partnership  considers  all  highly  liquid  investments  purchased  with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents and are carried at cost
which approximates market.    For  the  periods  ended  September  30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997,  included  in  cash  and  cash  equivalents is approximately
$50,830 and $94,000, respectively,  for  the  payment  of real estate taxes for
Douglas and Hillside Living Centers.

Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards  No.  128 "Earnings per Share" was
adopted by the Partnership for the  year  ended  December 31, 1997 and has been
applied to all prior  earnings  periods  presented in the financial statements.
The Partnership has no dilutive securities.

Deferred leasing fees are amortized on  a  straight-line basis over the term of
the related lease.  Deferred loan  fees  are amortized on a straight-line basis
over the term of the related loan.

Loan fees relating to the mortgage  loans receivable are deferred and amortized
as yield adjustments on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the life of the related
mortgage loan receivable which approximates the effective interest rate method.

Rental income is recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over the term of each
lease.  The difference between rental  income earned on the straight-line basis
and the cash rent due under the  provisions of the lease agreements is recorded
as deferred rent receivable.

No provision for Federal income taxes  has  been made as the liability for such
taxes is that of the Partners rather than the Partnership.

In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  financial  statements  contain  all the
adjustments necessary, which  are  of  a  normal  recurring  nature, to present
fairly the  financial  position  and  results  of  operations  for  the periods
presented herein.  Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the year.

(2) Deferred Rent Receivable

Certain tenant leases contain provisions  providing for stepped rent increases.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that rental income be recorded
for the  period  of  occupancy  on  a  straight-line  basis.   The accompanying
financial statements include  decreases  of  $24,727  and  $14,292 for 1998 and
1997, respectively, of rental  income  for  the  period  of occupancy for which
stepped rent increases apply and $411,100 and $435,827 in related deferred rent
receivable as of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.  These
amounts will be collected over  the  terms  of  the related leases as scheduled
rent payments are made.   Deferred  rent  receivable of $16,341 was written off
against rental  income  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1997,  due to the
restructuring of a lease at McHenry Plaza Shopping Center.


(3) Transactions with Affiliates

The General  Partner  and  its  Affiliates  are  entitled  to reimbursement for
salaries and expenses of employees  of  the  General Partner and its Affiliates
relating to the administration of the  Partnership.  Such costs are included in
professional services and general and administrative expenses to Affiliates, of
which $8,896 and $2,011 was unpaid at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
respectively.

An Affiliate of the General Partner  is entitled to receive Property Management
Fees for  management  and  leasing  services.    The  Partnership  has incurred
property management fees  of  $27,472  and  $24,333  for  the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997.


(4) Subsequent Events

During October 1998, the  Partnership  paid  a  distribution of $192,411 to the
Limited Partners.

Item 2.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and
         Results of Operations

Certain statements in this  "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and  elsewhere in this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q constitute of "forward-looking  statements" within the meaning of the
Federal Private Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995.   These forward-
looking statements involve  known  and  unknown  risks, uncertainties and other
factors which  may  cause  the  Partnership's  actual  results, performance, or
achievements to be materially  different  from any future results, performance,
or achievements  expressed  or  implied  by  these  forward-looking statements.
These factors include, among  other  things,  competition for tenants; federal,
state, or local  regulations;  adverse  changes  in  general  economic or local
conditions; inability  of  borrower  to  meet  financial obligations; uninsured
losses; and potential conflicts  of  interest  between  the Partnership and its
Affiliates, including the General Partner.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On August 3, 1987, the  Partnership  commenced an Offering of 50,000 (increased
to 60,000) Limited Partnership  Units  pursuant  to a Registration Statement on
Form S-11 under the Securities Act  of  1933. The Offering terminated on August
3, 1988, with total sales of 59,999  Units at $500 per Unit, resulting in gross
offering  proceeds  of  $29,999,500,   not   including  the  General  Partner's
contribution of $500. All of the holders  of these Units have been admitted  to
the  Partnership.    The   Partnership   acquired  seven  properties  utilizing
$25,831,542  of  capital  proceeds   collected.   During  1994  and  1995,  the
Partnership sold the thirty-eight six-unit condominium buildings comprising the
Schaumburg Terrace condominium complex.  Also,  the Partnership sold one of the
three lots adjacent to the Hillside  Living Center during September 1997. As of
September  30,  1998,  cumulative  distributions  to  Limited  Partners totaled
$25,392,129, including $2,095,863  of  Supplemental  Capital Contributions from
the  General  Partner,  which  represents  distributable  cash  flow  from  the
properties. The Partnership  repurchased  713  Units  for $356,676 from various
Limited Partners  through  the  Unit  Repurchase  Program.  There  are no funds
remaining for the repurchase of Units through this program.

As of September 30,  1998,  the  Partnership  had  cash and cash equivalents of
$1,594,346, which includes approximately $50,830 for the payment of real estate
taxes for  Douglas  and  Hillside  Living  Centers.  Since  December  1997, the
Partnership received prepayments  on  five  of  the thirty-seven mortgage loans
receivable on  the  six-unit  condominium  buildings  comprising the Schaumburg
Terrace condominium complex. Repayment proceeds from these prepayments totaling
$1,158,884 is also included in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1998.
The Partnership intends to use such funds for distributions and working capital
requirements.

The properties owned by the  Partnership,  along  with the interest received on
the Schaumburg Terrace  mortgage  receivables,  are  generating sufficient cash
flow to meet the  8%  annualized  distributions  to  the Limited Partners (paid
monthly),  in  addition  to  covering   all   the  operating  expenses  of  the
Partnership. To the extent  that  the  cash  flow  is  insufficient to meet the
Partnership's  needs,  the  Partnership   may   rely  on  Supplemental  Capital
Contributions from the General Partner, advances from Affiliates of the General
Partner, other short-term financing, or may sell one or more of the properties.

Results of Operations

As of September 30, 1998, the  Partnership owns six operating properties.  Five
of these properties were leased  on  a  "triple-net" basis which means that all
expenses of the property are  passed  through  to  the tenant.  The Partnership
also owns a shopping center, McHenry  Plaza.  The leases of the shopping center
provide that the Partnership  be  responsible  for maintenance of the structure
and the parking lot and the  tenants  are required to reimburse the Partnership
for portions of insurance, real estate taxes and common area maintenance. Since
December 1997, the Partnership received prepayments on five of the thirty-seven
mortgage loans receivable on the nine-unit condominium buildings comprising the
Schaumburg Terrace condominium complex  which  the  Partnership had sold during
1994 and 1995.

Rental and additional income increased for  the nine months ended September 30,
1998, as compared to  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997, due to an
increase in occupancy at  McHenry  Plaza  and  the  write  off of deferred rent
receivable relating to lease modifications  for the nine months ended September
30, 1997, resulting in an increase  in  rental income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998.   As  of  September  30,  1998, approximately 10,749 square
feet, representing 19% of the total space  at the center, remains to be leased.
The General Partner continues  to  pursue  additional leases for this remaining
space.

Professional services to  non-affiliates  increased  for  the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, as compared  to  the  nine months ended September 30, 1997,
due to an increase in accounting services.

Property operating expenses to non-affiliates  decreased for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997, due to  a  decrease  in  repair and maintenance expenses at
McHenry Plaza Shopping Center.

The gain on the sale  of  investment  property  recorded for the three and nine
months ended September  30,  1998  is  the  result  of  deferred  gain from the
Schaumburg Terrace condominium sales  being  recognized  as cash is received on
the related financing extended by the Partnership to the individual purchasers.

Year 2000 Issues

GENERAL

Many computer operating systems  and  software  applications were designed such
that the year 1999 is the  maximum  date  that can be processed accurately.  In
conducting business, the Partnership relies  on computers and operating systems
provided by equipment manufacturers, and also on application software developed
internally and,  to  a  limited  extent,  by  outside  software  vendors.   The
Partnership has assessed its  vulnerability  to the so-called "Year-2000 Issue"
with respect to its equipment and computer systems.
















                                     -11-


STATE OF READINESS

The Partnership  has  identified  the  following  three  areas  for "Year-2000"
compliance efforts:

Business  Computer  Systems:  The  majority  of  the  Partnership's information
technology systems  were  developed  internally  and  include accounting, lease
management, investment portfolio  tracking,  and  tax  return preparation.  The
Partnership has rights to the  source  code  for these applications and employs
programmers who are  knowledgeable  regarding  these  systems.   The process of
testing these internal  systems  to  determine  year  2000 compliance is nearly
complete.  The Partnership does  not  anticipate any material costs relating to
its  business  computer  systems  regarding  year  2000  compliance  since  the
Partnership's  critical  hardware  and  software  systems  use  four  digits to
represent the applicable year.  The Partnership does use various computers, so-
called "PC's", that may run software that  may not use four digits to represent
the applicable year.  The  Partnership  is  in  the  process  of testing the PC
hardware and software to determine year  2000  compliance, but it must be noted
that such PC's  are  incidental  to  the  Partnership's  critical systems.  The
Partnership is considering independent testing of its critical systems.

Tenants and Suppliers: The Partnership is  in the process of surveying tenants,
suppliers and other parties with whom the Partnership does a significant amount
of business to identify the Partnership's  potential exposure in the event such
parties are not  year  2000  compliant  in  a  timely  manner.  Since this area
involves some parties over which the Partnership has no control, such as public
utility companies, it is difficult, at best, to judge the status of the outside
companies' year 2000 compliance.  The  Partnership  is working closely with all
suppliers of goods and services  in  an  effort  to  minimize the impact of the
failure of any supplier to become year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1999. The
Partnership's investigations and assessments  of  possible year 2000 issues are
in a preliminary stage,  and  currently  the  Partnership  is  not aware of any
material impact on its business, operations  or financial condition due to year
2000 non-compliance by any of the Partnership's tenants or suppliers. 

Non-Information Technology Systems:  In  the  operation  of its properties, the
Partnership  has  acquired   equipment   with   embedded   technology  such  as
microcontrollers, which  operate  heating,  ventilation,  and  air conditioning
systems,  fire  alarms,  security   systems,  telephones  and  other  equipment
utilizing time-sensitive technology.    The  Partnership  is  in the process of
evaluating its potential exposure and  costs if such non-information technology
systems are not year 2000  compliant  and  expects  to  be able to complete its
assessment during the second quarter of 1999.

YEAR 2000 COSTS

The Partnership's General Partner  and  its  Affiliates  estimate that costs to
achieve  year  2000  compliance   will   not   exceed  $50,000.  However,  only
approximately 1% of these costs will  be  directly allocated to and paid by the
Partnership. The balance of the  year 2000 compliance costs, approximately 99%,
will be paid by  the  General  Partner  and  its  Affiliates.   Total year 2000
compliance  costs  incurred  through  September   30,  1998  are  estimated  at
approximately $5,000.





                                     -12-


YEAR 2000 RISKS

The most reasonable likely worst case scenario for the Partnership with respect
to the year 2000 non-compliance of  its  business computer systems would be the
inability to access information  which  could  result  in  the failure to issue
financial reports.  The  most  reasonable  likely  worst  case scenario for the
Partnership with respect to  the  year  2000  non-compliance  of its tenants is
failure to receive rental income  which  could  result in the Partnership being
unable to meet  cash  requirements  for  monthly  expenses. The most reasonable
likely worst case scenario for  the  Partnership  with respect to the year 2000
non-compliance of its suppliers is  the  failure to supply necessary utilities;
including, but not limited to heating, as  a result of a malfunctioning of non-
information technology systems in some of the Partnership's properties.

CONTINGENCY PLAN

The Partnership is in the process  of formulating a contingency plan which will
be developed by July of 1999.
