                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                
                         MARCH 31, 1998
                                
                           (Unaudited)
                                

(1)  The  condensed  statements included herein have been  prepared
     by  the Partnership, without audit, pursuant to the rules  and
     regulations  of  the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  and
     reflect   all  adjustments  which  are,  in  the  opinion   of
     management,  necessary to a fair statement of the  results  of
     operations for the interim period, on a basis consistent  with
     the  annual audited statements.  The adjustments made to these
     condensed   statements  consist  only  of   normal   recurring
     adjustments.   Certain information, accounting  policies,  and
     footnote    disclosures   normally   included   in   financial
     statements  prepared  in  accordance with  generally  accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted  pursuant
     to  such  rules  and  regulations,  although  the  Partnership
     believes  that  the  disclosures  are  adequate  to  make  the
     information  presented not misleading.  It is  suggested  that
     these  condensed financial statements be read  in  conjunction
     with  the  financial statements and the summary of significant
     accounting  policies  and  notes  thereto  included   in   the
     Partnership's latest annual report on Form 10-KSB.

(2)  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 of the Partnership.  Robert P. Johnson,  the
     President  and  sole  shareholder  of  AFM,  serves  as  the
     Individual General Partner of the Partnership.  An affiliate
     of  AFM,  AEI  Fund  Management, Inc.  (AEI),  performs  the
     administrative and operating functions for the Partnership.
     
     The   terms   of  the  Partnership  offering  call   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
     Partnership's   offering   terminated   when   the   maximum
     subscription  limit  of  7,500  Limited  Partnership   Units
     ($7,500,000) 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 the  operation
     of the Partnership, 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 Limited Partners will be  made
     pro rata by Units.

(2)  Organization - (Continued)

     Any  Net  Proceeds  of Sale, as defined, from  the  sale  or
     financing of the Partnership's 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.
     
     For  tax  purposes,  profits  from  operations,  other  than
     profits  attributable  to  the  sale,  exchange,  financing,
     refinancing   or  other  disposition  of  the  Partnership's
     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  Partnership
     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 the Partnership's 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,  99%  to  the  Limited
     Partners  and 1% to the General 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.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate -

     On  January  24,  1997, the Partnership sold the  Children's
     World  daycare  center in Moreno Valley, California,  to  an
     unrelated third party.  The Partnership recognized net  sale
     proceeds  of  $1,301,342, which resulted in a  net  gain  of
     $655,641.   At  the  time  of sale,  the  cost  and  related
     accumulated  depreciation of the property was  $963,717  and
     $318,016,  respectively.  As part of the sale proceeds,  the
     Partnership received a Promissory Note for $1,003,000.   The
     Note  bears interest at a 10% rate.  On April 23, 1997,  the
     Partnership  received the principal balance and  outstanding
     accrued  interest on the Note.  Investment income earned  on
     the Note was $24,456.
     
     On  November 18, 1997, the Partnership purchased  a  30.794%
     interest  in  a  Timber  Lodge  Steakhouse  in  St.   Cloud,
     Minnesota  for $510,635.  The property is leased  to  Timber
     Lodge  Steakhouse,  Inc.  under a  Lease  Agreement  with  a
     primary  term  of  20  years and annual rental  payments  of
     $51,537.  The remaining interests in the property are  owned
     by  AEI  Real Estate Fund XVII Limited Partnership  and  AEI
     Institutional  Net  Lease  Fund  '93  Limited   Partnership,
     affiliates of the Partnership.
     
     On  December  23, 1997, the Partnership purchased  a  26.05%
     interest in a parcel of land in Troy, Michigan for $393,620.
     The  land is leased to Champps Entertainment, Inc. (Champps)
     under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years  and
     annual rental payments of $27,553.  Simultaneously with  the
     purchase  of  the  land,  the  Partnership  entered  into  a
     Development  Financing Agreement under which the Partnership
     will  advance  funds to Champps for the  construction  of  a
     Champps Americana restaurant on the site.  Through March 31,
     1998,   the  Partnership  had  advanced  $126,842  for   the
     construction  of the property and was charging  interest  on
     the  advances at a rate of 7%.  The Partnership's  share  of
     the  total  purchase price, including the cost of the  land,
     will be approximately $1,172,250.  After the construction is
     complete,  the  Lease Agreement will be amended  to  require
     annual  rental  payments  of  approximately  $123,000.   The
     Partnership has incurred net costs of $54,313 related to the
     acquisition   of   the  property.   The  costs   have   been
     capitalized  and  will be allocated to  land,  building  and
     equipment.   The  remaining interests in  the  property  are
     owned by AEI Real Estate Fund XVII Limited Partnership,  AEI
     Real Estate Fund XVIII Limited Partnership and AEI Net Lease
     Income & Growth Fund XIX Limited Partnership, affiliates  of
     the Partnership.
     
     The Partnership owns a 44.9042% interest in a restaurant  in
     Waco, Texas, which was previously closed.  In June 1995, the
     Partnership  re-leased the restaurant to Tex-Mex  Cocina  of
     Waco,  L.C.   The  Lease Agreement had  a  primary  term  of
     eighteen  months with an annual rental payment  of  $24,248.
     The  Partnership could also receive additional rent if gross
     receipts   from  the  property  exceeded  certain  specified
     amounts.   In  December,  1997, the lessee  elected  not  to
     exercise  the  renewal option in the lease.  The  restaurant
     was  closed  and  is listed for sale or  lease.   While  the
     property is vacant, the Partnership is responsible  for  the
     real  estate taxes and other costs required to maintain  the
     property.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate - (Continued)

     As  of  December  31, 1997, based on an analysis  of  market
     conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value  of
     the   Partnership's  interest  in  the  Waco  property   was
     approximately $314,400.  In the fourth quarter  of  1997,  a
     charge  to operations for real estate impairment of  $80,300
     was  recognized,  which is the difference between  the  book
     value  at  December 31, 1997 of $394,700 and  the  estimated
     fair value of $314,400.  The charge was recorded against the
     cost of the land and building.
     
(4)  Payable to AEI Fund Management -

     AEI  Fund  Management, Inc. performs the administrative  and
     operating functions for the Partnership.  The payable to AEI
     Fund   Management  represents  the  balance  due  for  those
     services.    This  balance  is  non-interest   bearing   and
     unsecured  and  is  to  be  paid in  the  normal  course  of
     business.

(5)  Deferred Income -

     In  June,  1994, Fuddruckers, Inc., the restaurant concept's
     franchisor,  acquired  the  operations  of  the  Fuddruckers
     restaurant  in  St. Louis, Missouri, and assumed  the  lease
     obligations  from  the  original lessee.   As  part  of  the
     agreement,  the Partnership amended the Lease to reduce  the
     annual base rent from $163,550 to $138,246.  The Partnership
     could  receive additional rent in the future if 10% of gross
     receipts  from  the  property  exceed  the  base  rent.   In
     consideration  for the lease assumption and  amendment,  the
     Partnership  received a lump sum payment from  the  original
     lessee of $210,277.  The lump sum payment will be recognized
     as  income  over  the  remainder of the  Lease  term,  which
     expires  January 31, 2008, using the straight  line  method.
     As  of  March 31, 1998 and December31, 1997, the Partnership
     has  recognized $58,050 and $54,180, respectively,  of  this
     payment  as  income.   At  March  31,  1998,  the  remaining
     deferred  income  of  $13,993 was prepaid  rent  related  to
     certain other Partnership properties.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

        For  the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  the
Partnership  recognized rental income of $142,256  and  $135,621,
respectively.   During the same periods, the  Partnership  earned
investment income of $13,096 and $32,808, respectively.  In 1998,
rental  income increased as a result of the reinvestment  of  net
sale  proceeds  in  additional properties discussed  below.   The
increase  in rental income was partially offset by a decrease  in
investment  income  earned  on the  net  proceeds  prior  to  the
purchase of the additional properties.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

        The  Partnership owns a 44.9042% interest in a restaurant
in  Waco, Texas, which was previously closed.  In June 1995,  the
Partnership re-leased the restaurant to Tex-Mex Cocina  of  Waco,
L.C.   The Lease Agreement had a primary term of eighteen  months
with  an annual rental payment of $24,248.  The Partnership could
also  receive additional rent if gross receipts from the property
exceeded  certain  specified amounts.   In  December,  1997,  the
lessee  elected not to exercise the renewal option in the  lease.
The restaurant was closed and is listed for sale or lease.  While
the  property is vacant, the Partnership is responsible  for  the
real  estate  taxes  and  other costs required  to  maintain  the
property.

        As  of  December 31, 1997, based on an analysis of market
conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value  of  the
Partnership's  interest  in the Waco property  was  approximately
$314,400.   In the fourth quarter of 1997, a charge to operations
for  real  estate impairment of $80,300 was recognized, which  is
the  difference between the book value at December  31,  1997  of
$394,700  and the estimated fair value of $314,400.   The  charge
was recorded against the cost of the land and building.

       During the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the
Partnership   paid   Partnership   administration   expenses   to
affiliated  parties of $26,974 and $24,538, 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  $13,448  and $8,501, 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.

        As  of March 31, 1998, the Partnership's annualized  cash
distribution  rate  was  7.5%,  based  on  the  Adjusted  Capital
Contribution.   Distributions of Net Cash  Flow  to  the  General
Partners were subordinated to the Limited Partners as required in
the Partnership Agreement.  As a result, 99% of distributions and
income  were allocated to Limited Partners and 1% to the  General
Partners.

        Inflation  has  had  a  minimal  effect  on  income  from
operations.   It is expected that increases in sales  volumes  of
the  tenants, due to inflation and real sales growth, will result
in  an  increase in rental income over the terms of  the  leases.
Inflation  also  may  cause  the  Partnership's  real  estate  to
appreciate in value.  However, inflation and changing prices  may
also  have  an  adverse impact on the operating  margins  of  the
properties' tenants which could impair their ability to pay  rent
and subsequently reduce the Partnership's Net Cash Flow available
for distributions.

        AEI  Fund  Management, Inc. (AEI) performs all management
services  for  the Partnership.  AEI is currently  analyzing  its
computer hardware and software systems to determine what, if any,
resources  need to be dedicated regarding Year 2000 issues.   The
Partnership  does  not  anticipate  any  significant  operational
impact  or  incurring material costs as a result of AEI  becoming
Year 2000 compliant.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        During  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1998,  the
Partnership's cash balances decreased $76,286 mainly as a  result
of  the  reinvestment  of  net sale  proceeds  in  an  additional
property.   Net  cash provided by operating activities  decreased
from $203,938 in 1997 to $120,419 in 1998 mainly as a result of a
decrease  in income and an increase in expenses in 1997  and  net
timing differences in the collection of payments from the lessees
and the payment of expenses.

        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 three  months  ended
March 31, 1997, the Partnership generated cash flow from the sale
of  real estate of $298,342.  During the three months ended March
31,  1998,  the  Partnership expended $66,535 to invest  in  real
properties (inclusive of acquisition expenses) as the Partnership
reinvested the cash generated from the property sales.

        On  January 24, 1997, the Partnership sold the Children's
World  daycare  center  in  Moreno  Valley,  California,  to   an
unrelated  third  party.   The Partnership  recognized  net  sale
proceeds of $1,301,342, which resulted in a net gain of $655,641.
At   the   time   of  sale,  the  cost  and  related  accumulated
depreciation   of  the  property  was  $963,717   and   $318,016,
respectively.   As  part  of the sale proceeds,  the  Partnership
received  a  Promissory  Note  for $1,003,000.   The  Note  bears
interest  at  a  10%  rate.  On April 23, 1997,  the  Partnership
received  the principal balance and outstanding accrued  interest
on the Note.  Investment income earned on the Note was $24,456.

        On November 18, 1997, the Partnership purchased a 30.794%
interest in a Timber Lodge Steakhouse in St. Cloud, Minnesota for
$510,635.   The  property is leased to Timber  Lodge  Steakhouse,
Inc. under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years  and
annual  rental payments of $51,537.  The remaining  interests  in
the  property  are  owned by AEI Real Estate  Fund  XVII  Limited
Partnership  and  AEI Institutional Net Lease  Fund  '93  Limited
Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership.

        On  December 23, 1997, the Partnership purchased a 26.05%
interest in a parcel of land in Troy, Michigan for $393,620.  The
land  is leased to Champps Entertainment, Inc. (Champps) under  a
Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual rental
payments  of  $27,553.  Simultaneously with the purchase  of  the
land,  the  Partnership  entered  into  a  Development  Financing
Agreement  under  which  the Partnership will  advance  funds  to
Champps for the construction of a Champps Americana restaurant on
the  site.  Through March 31, 1998, the Partnership had  advanced
$126,842  for  the construction of the property and was  charging
interest  on  the  advances at a rate of 7%.   The  Partnership's
share  of  the total purchase price, including the  cost  of  the
land,  will  be approximately $1,172,250.  After the construction
is  complete,  the  Lease Agreement will be  amended  to  require
annual   rental   payments   of  approximately   $123,000.    The
Partnership  has  incurred net costs of $54,313  related  to  the
acquisition of the property.  The costs have been capitalized and
will be allocated to land, building and equipment.  The remaining
interests in the property are owned by AEI Real Estate Fund  XVII
Limited   Partnership,  AEI  Real  Estate  Fund   XVIII   Limited
Partnership  and AEI Net Lease Income & Growth Fund  XIX  Limited
Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

       The Partnership's primary use of cash flow 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.

        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 1997, two Limited Partners redeemed a total of  17
Partnership  Units for $8,618 in accordance with the  Partnership
Agreement.  The Partnership acquired these Units using  Net  Cash
Flow  from  operations.   In prior years,  a  total  of  nineteen
Limited   Partners  redeemed  146.5  Units  for  $106,842.    The
redemptions increase the remaining Limited Partners' ownership in
the Partnership.

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