                                       PART I

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

United Investors Growth Properties II (the "Registrant" or "Partnership"), a
Missouri Limited Partnership, was organized as a limited partnership under the
laws of the State of Missouri pursuant to a Certificate of Limited Partnership
filed on March 23, 1990, with the Missouri Secretary of State.  The Partnership
is governed by an Agreement of Limited Partnership dated February 22, 1991.
United Investors Real Estate, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is the sole general
partner (the "General Partner") of the Partnership.  Effective December 31,
1992, 100% of the General Partner's common stock was purchased by MAE GP
Corporation ("MAE GP"), which is wholly-owned by Metropolitan Asset Enhancement
L.P. ("MAE"), an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia").
Effective February 25, 1998, MAE GP was merged into Insignia Properties Trust
("IPT"), which is an affiliate of Insignia. Thus, the General Partner is now a
wholly-owned subsidiary of IPT. On March 17, 1998, Insignia entered into an
agreement to merge its national residential property management operations, and
its controlling interest in Insignia Properties Trust, with Apartment Investment
and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment
trust.  The closing, which is anticipated to happen in the third quarter of
1998, is subject to customary conditions, including government approvals and the
approval of Insignia's shareholders.  If the closing occurs, AIMCO will then
control the General Partner of the Partnership.

The Partnership is engaged in the business of acquiring and operating
multifamily residential and commercial properties and other income producing
real estate.  The Partnership owns a 99.99% interest in a limited partnership
which owns an apartment complex and a 100% interest in a limited liability
corporation (a "LLC") which owns a second apartment complex.  In addition, the
Partnership owned a 40% interest in a joint venture which owned an apartment
complex. During the third quarter of 1995, the joint venture's property was
sold, and the joint venture was liquidated during the second quarter of 1996
(see "Note B" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in
"Item 7. Financial Statements").  The remaining properties are further described
in "Item 2. Description of Properties" below.

Commencing on or about June 18, 1990, the Partnership began offering through
United Investors Equity Services, Inc., a former affiliate of the Partnership
(the "Selling Agent"), up to a maximum of 80,000 Units of limited partnership
interest (the "Units") at $250 per Unit with a minimum required purchase of
eight Units or $2,000 (four Units or $1,000 for an Individual Retirement
Account).  Limited partners (the "Limited Partners") are not required to make
any additional capital contributions. The Units were registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), under Registration Statement No.
33-34111, which Registration Statement was declared effective on June 18, 1990.
The offering was extended beyond the initial termination date of June 18, 1992.
On October 26, 1992, the General Partner terminated the extended offering
period.  Upon termination of the offering, the Partnership had accepted
subscriptions for 20,661 Units resulting in Gross Offering Proceeds of
$5,165,250.

The Partnership has no employees.  Management and administrative services are
performed by affiliates of Insignia. The property manager is responsible for the
day-to-day operations of each property.  The General Partner has also selected
affiliates of Insignia to provide real estate advisory and asset management
services to the Partnership.  As advisor, these affiliates provide all
partnership accounting and administrative services, investment management, and
supervisory services over property management and leasing.  For a further
discussion of property and partnership management, see "Item 12. Certain
Partnerships and Related Transactions", which descriptions are herein
incorporated by reference.

The real estate business is highly competitive.  The Partnership's real property
investments are subject to competition from similar types of properties in the
vicinities in which they are located, and the Partnership is not a significant
factor in its industry.  In addition, various limited partnerships have been
formed by related parties to engage in businesses which may be competitive with
the Partnership.

There have been, and it is possible there may be other, federal, state and local
legislation and regulations enacted relating to the protection of the
environment. The Partnership is unable to predict the extent, if any, to which
such new legislation or regulations might occur and the degree to which such
existing or new legislation or regulations might adversely affect the properties
owned by the Partnership.

The Partnership monitors its properties for evidence of pollutants, toxins and
other dangerous substances, including the presence of asbestos.  In certain
cases environmental testing has been performed, which resulted in no material
adverse conditions or liabilities.  In no case has the Partnership received
notice that it is a potentially responsible party with respect to an
environmental clean up site.

  Total               $5,914

a) The mortgage loans on each of the properties mature at various times with
   balloon payments due at maturity.

On November 3, 1997, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage encumbering Stone
Ridge Apartments.  The refinancing replaced indebtedness of approximately
$2,297,000 with a new mortgage in the amount of $3,300,000.  The new loan
requires monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $22,000, bears
interest at 7.13% per annum, is being amortized over 30 years and matures on
December 1, 2004.  Total capitalized loan costs were approximately $83,000.  In
connection with the refinancing the lender required that the property be placed
in a limited liability corporation (a "LLC"). Accordingly the Partnership
transferred ownership of this property to Stone Ridge Apartments, L.L.C., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership.

As noted under "Item 1. Description of Business," the real estate industry is
highly competitive.  All of the properties of the Partnership are subject to
competition from other residential apartment complexes in the localities in
which they operate. The General Partner believes that all of the properties are
adequately insured.  The multi-family residential properties' lease terms are
for one year or less.  No residential tenant leases 10% or more of the available
rental space.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership is unaware of any pending or outstanding litigation that is not
of a routine nature.  Management of the Partnership believes that all such
pending or outstanding litigation will be resolved without a material adverse
effect upon the business, financial condition, or operations of the Partnership.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, no matters were submitted to a
vote of Unit holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.


                                      PART II

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR PARTNERSHIP EQUITY AND RELATED PARTNER MATTERS

At January 1, 1998, the number of holders of record of Limited Partnership Units
was 563.  No public trading market has developed for the Units, and it is not
anticipated that such a market will develop in the future.

The Partnership made distributions of cash generated from operations of
approximately $139,000 and $138,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively. A distribution of $335,000 was declared and paid in the
first quarter of 1998.  This distribution represents a portion of the net
proceeds from the mortgage refinancing at Stone Ridge, see discussion below.
Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from
operations, property sales, refinancings, and  the availability of cash
reserves.

ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

This item should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other
items contained elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations

The Partnership realized net loss for the year ended December 31, 1997, of
approximately $29,000 compared to a net loss for the year ended December 31,
1996 of approximately $143,000.  The decrease in net loss is primarily
attributable to increased rental income at both properties and decreased
operating expenses.  Rental income increased as a result of rate increases at
both properties during 1997. Operating expenses decreased at both properties as
a result of major exterior rehabilitation projects being completed in 1996.
Included in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996 is
approximately $185,000 of major repairs and maintenance comprised primarily of
exterior painting and exterior building repairs at both properties.  Included in
operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997 is approximately $54,000
of major repairs and maintenance comprised primarily of exterior building and
parking lot repairs.  Partially offsetting the increased rental income and
decreased operating expense was an increase in general and administrative
expenses due to legal costs incurred in the third quarter of 1997.

As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner
monitors the rental market environment of its investment properties to assess
the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels
and protecting the Partnership from increases in expense.  As part of this plan,
the General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of
inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a
high overall occupancy level. However, due to changing market conditions, which
can result in the use of rental concessions and rental reductions to offset
softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the General Partner will
be able to sustain such a plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 1997,  the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $1,508,000 compared to approximately $474,000 at December 31,
1996. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents for the year ended December
31, 1997 was $1,034,000 compared to a net decrease of $8,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1996. Net cash provided by operating activities increased primarily
due to the increase in rental income and the decrease in operating expenses, as
discussed above.  Partially offsetting the decreased loss was a decrease in
accrued property taxes due to the timing of payments. Net cash provided by
investing activities increased due to an increase in receipts from restricted
escrows. Net cash provided by financing activities increased primarily due to
the net proceeds received from the debt refinancing of Stone Ridge Apartments of
approximately $920,000, as described below.

On November 3, 1997, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage encumbering Stone
Ridge Apartments.  The refinancing replaced indebtedness of approximately
$2,297,000 with a new mortgage in the amount of $3,300,000.  The new loan
requires monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $22,000, bears
interest at 7.13% per annum, is being amortized over 30 years and matures on
December 1, 2004.  Total capitalized loan costs were approximately $83,000.

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the various properties to adequately maintain the
physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership.  Such assets are
currently thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership.
The mortgage indebtedness of $5,914,000 matures at various times with balloon
payments due at maturity, at which time the properties will either be refinanced
or sold.  Cash distributions of approximately $139,000 were made during 1997
compared to approximately $138,000 during 1996.  The distributions were made
from cash generated by property operations. A distribution of $335,000 was
declared and paid in the first quarter of 1998.  This distribution represents a
portion of the net proceeds from the mortgage refinancing at Stone Ridge. Future
cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from
operations, property sales, refinancings, and  the availability of cash
reserves.  The General Partner of the Partnership anticipates that the
Partnership will continue to make cash distributions, as property operations
permit, throughout 1998.

Year 2000

The Partnership is dependent upon the General Partner and Insignia for
management and administrative services.  Insignia has completed an assessment
and will have to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and
thereafter (the "Year 2000 Issue").  The project is estimated to be completed
not later than December 31, 1998, which is prior to any anticipated impact on
its operating systems.  The General Partner believes that with modifications to
existing software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue will not
pose significant operational problems for its computer systems. However, if such
modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the
Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the operations of the
Partnership.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Partners
United Investors Growth Properties II
(A Missouri Limited Partnership)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of United Investors
Growth Properties II (A Missouri Limited Partnership) ("the Partnership") as of
December 31, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in partners' capital (deficit), and cash flows for each of the two years
in the period ended December 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of 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.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                               December 31, 1997


NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization: United Investors Growth Properties II (the "Partnership"), a
Missouri Limited Partnership, was organized in March 1990, with the initial
group of limited partners being admitted on February 22, 1991.  Additional
partners were admitted each month thereafter through October 1992.

The Partnership was formed to acquire and operate certain types of income-
producing real estate.  United Investors Real Estate, Inc. (the "General
Partner"), is the general partner.  Effective December 31, 1992, 100% of the
General Partner's common stock was purchased by MAE GP Corporation ("MAE GP"),
an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia").  Effective February
25, 1998, MAE GP was merged into Insignia Properties Trust ("IPT"), which is an
affiliate of Insignia.  Thus the General Partner is now a wholly-owned
subsidiary of IPT.

Basis of accounting:  The accompanying financial statements of the Partnership
are prepared on the accrual basis and, therefore, revenue is recorded as earned
and costs and expenses are recorded as incurred.

Cash and cash equivalents: The Partnership considers all highly liquid
investments with a maturity, when purchased, of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.  At certain times, the amount of cash deposited at a bank may
exceed the limit on insured deposits.

Security deposits:  The Partnership requires security deposits from lessees for
the duration of the lease, and such deposits are included in receivables and
deposits. The security deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates, provided
the tenant has not damaged its space and is current on its rental payments.

Principles of consolidation: The Partnership owns a 99.99% interest and is the
sole general partner in Riverwalk Apartments Limited Partnership (a Missouri
Limited Partnership) ("Riverwalk"), a 104 unit apartment complex located in
Houston, Texas. An unaffiliated individual is the sole limited partner. The
Partnership reflects its interest in Riverwalk utilizing full consolidation
whereby all of the accounts of Riverwalk are included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Partnership (with intercompany accounts being
eliminated). The Partnership has the ability to control the major operating and
financial policies of this Partnership.  The minority interest of the limited
partner is not material to the Partnership.

In November 1997, the Partnership transferred ownership of the Stone Ridge
Apartments to Stone Ridge Apartments, LLC ("Stone Ridge"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Partnership.

Income taxes:  For income tax purposes, the Partnership reports revenue and
costs and expenses on the accrual method.  No income tax provisions have been
shown in the accompanying statements of operations since the partners are taxed
individually.

Investment properties:  Investment properties are stated at cost.  Acquisition
fees are capitalized as a cost of real estate.  In accordance with "Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", the
Partnership records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations
when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than
the carrying amounts of those assets.

Depreciation is computed using straight-line methods over estimated useful lives
of fifteen to twenty-seven and one half years for buildings and improvements and
five to seven years for furniture and fixtures.

Loan Costs:  Loan costs are deferred and are amortized as interest expense over
the terms of the related loans.  Unamortized loan costs of approximately
$132,000 are included in other assets at December 31, 1997.

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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: "SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments," as amended by "SFAS No. 119, Disclosures about
Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments",
requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments,
whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to
estimate fair value.  Fair value is defined in the SFAS as the amount at which
the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing
parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.  The Partnership believes
that the carrying amount of its financial instruments (except for long term
debt) approximates their fair value due to the short term maturity of these
instruments. The fair value of the Partnership's long term debt, after
discounting the scheduled loan payments to maturity, approximates its carrying
balance.

Advertising:  The Partnership expenses the costs of advertising as incurred.
Advertising expense, included in operating expenses, was $32,000 and $19,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Reclassifications:  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996
information to conform to the 1997 presentation.

NOTE B - INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE

The Partnership owned a 40% interest in Renaissance Village Associates, a joint
venture with United Investors Growth Properties, an affiliated partnership in
which the General Partner is also the sole General Partner. The joint venture
owned a 124 unit apartment complex located in Seattle, Washington.

On August 30, 1995, Renaissance Village Apartments was sold to an unaffiliated
party, Kauri Investments, Ltd.  The Partnership's share of the gain recognized
on the sale of the joint venture's property was approximately $66,000.  All the
remaining liabilities of the joint venture have been satisfied, and the
remaining assets of the joint venture were distributed to the joint venturers
with the Partnership receiving a liquidating distribution of $61,000 during
1996.

NOTE C - MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

The principle terms of mortgage notes payable are as follows (in thousands):


                         Principal    Monthly                         Principal
                        Balance At    Payment     Stated               Balance
                       December 31,  Including   Interest  Maturity    Due At
Property                   1997       Interest     Rate      Date     Maturity

Riverwalk Apartments      $2,614       $ 22        9.25%   04/01/02    $2,465
Stone Ridge Apartments     3,300         22        7.13%   12/01/04     3,018
    Total                 $5,914       $ 44


The mortgage notes payable are nonrecourse and are secured by pledge of the
Partnership's properties and by pledge of revenue from operations of the
respective rental properties.  Both mortgage loans include prepayment penalties
if repaid prior to maturity.

On November 3, 1997, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage encumbering Stone
Ridge Apartments.  The refinancing replaced indebtedness of approximately
$2,297,000 with a new mortgage in the amount of $3,300,000.  The new loan
requires monthly principal and interest payments and is being amortized over 30
years with a balloon payment due at maturity.  Total capitalized loan costs were
approximately $83,000.  In connection with the refinancing the lender required
that the property be placed in a limited liability corporation (a "LLC").
Accordingly the Partnership transferred ownership of this property to Stone
Ridge Apartments, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership.

Scheduled principal payments on the mortgage notes payable subsequent to
December 31, 1997, are as follows (in thousands):


   Years Ending December 31,
            1998                          $      63
            1999                                 68
            2000                                 74
            2001                                 80
            2002                              2,519
            Thereafter                        3,110
                                          $   5,914

NOTE D - PARTNERS' CAPITAL (DEFICIT)

ALLOCATIONS OF NET INCOME AND LOSS - In accordance with the partnership
agreement, net income and net loss (as defined in the Partnership Agreement,
income or loss of the Partnership determined without regard to gain or loss from
sale) shall be allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the limited
partners.

DISTRIBUTIONS - The Partnership allocates distributions 1% to the General
Partner and 99% to the limited partners. On February 15, 1998, the Partnership
made a distribution to the partners of approximately $335,000.

GAIN/LOSS FROM A SALE - Gain from a sale shall be allocated as follows:  (a)
first to each partner who has a negative capital account, an amount equal to (or
in proportion to if less than) such partner's negative capital account balance
and (b) second, 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner, until
each limited partner has been allocated an amount equal to (or in proportion to
if less than) the excess, if any, of such limited partner's adjusted capital
investment over his capital account.

Loss from a sale shall be allocated as follows:  (a) first to each partner who
has a positive capital account, an amount equal to (or in proportion to if less
than) such partner's positive capital account balance and (b) second, 99% to the
limited partners and 1% to the General Partner.

Anything in the Partnership Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
interests of the General Partner, in the aggregate, in each material item of
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership will be equal to at
least 1% of each item at all times during the existence of the Partnership.

NOTE E - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner and its
affiliates for the management and administration of all partnership activities.
The partnership agreement provides for payments to affiliates for property
management services based on a percentage of revenue and for reimbursement of
certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.  The
following payments were made to affiliates of the General Partner during each of
the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands):

                                                   1997            1996

   Property management fees (included in
      operating expenses)                          $83             $79
   Reimbursement for services of affiliates,
      including $5,000 and $6,000 of
      construction service reimbursements in
      1997 and 1996, respectively (included
      in investment properties, general and
      administrative expenses and operating
      expenses)                                     40              38

For the period January 1, 1996 to August 31, 1997, the Partnership insured its
properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated with
the General Partner.  An affiliate of the General Partner acquired, in the
acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from an insurance
agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the master policy.  The
agent assumed the financial obligations to the affiliate of the General Partner
who received payment on these obligations from the agent. The amount of the
Partnership's insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the
General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant.

On March 17, 1998, Insignia entered into an agreement to merge its national 
residential property management operations, and its controlling interest in 
Insignia Properties Trust, with Apartment Investment and Management Company 
("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.  The closing, 
which is anticipated to happen in the third quarter of 1998, is subject to 
customary conditions, including government approvals and the approval of 
Insignia's shareholders.  If the closing occurs, AIMCO will then control the 
General Partner of the Partnership.


ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
        FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

There were no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche LLP regarding the 1997 or
1996 audits of the Partnership's financial statements.


                                      PART III

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

The Partnership has no officers or directors.  United Investor Real Estate, Inc.
("UIRE" or "The General Partner") manages and controls the Partnership and has
general responsibility and authority in all matters affecting its business.
Effective December 31, 1992, 100% of the General Partner's Common Stock was
purchased by MAE GP Corporation ("MAE GP"), which is wholly owned by
Metropolitan Asset Enhancement, L.P. ("MAE"), an affiliate of Insignia Financial
Group, Inc. ("Insignia").  Effective February 25, 1998, MAE GP was merged into
Insignia Properties Trust ("IPT"), which is an affiliate of Insignia.  Thus the
General Partner is now a wholly owned subsidiary of IPT.  On March 17, 1998,
Insignia entered into an agreement to merge its national residential property
management operations, and its controlling interest in Insignia Properties
Trust, with Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly
traded real estate investment trust.  The closing, which is anticipated to
happen in the third quarter of 1998, is subject to customary conditions,
including government approvals and the approval of Insignia's shareholders.  If
the closing occurs, AIMCO will then control the General Partner of the
Partnership.

The names of the directors and executive officers UIRE, their ages and the
nature of all positions with UIRE presently held by them are set forth below.
There are no family relationships between or among any officers and directors.

ITEM 10.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

No direct form of compensation or remuneration was paid by the Partnership to
any officer or director of the General Partner.  The Partnership has no plan,
nor does the Partnership presently propose a plan, which will result in any
remuneration being paid to any officer or director upon termination of
employment. However, reimbursements and other payments have been made to the
Partnership's General Partner and its affiliates, as described in "Item 12"
below.

ITEM 11.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

As of January 1, 1998, no person was known by the Partnership to be the
beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding Units of the
Partnership.

As of January 1, 1998, no Units were owned by the General Partner or any of its
officers and directors.

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner and its
affiliates for the management and administration of all partnership activities.
The partnership agreement provides for payments to affiliates for property
management services based on a percentage of revenue and for reimbursement of
certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.  The
following payments were made to affiliates of the General Partner during each of
the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands):


                                                    1997          1996

   Property management fees                          $83          $79
   Reimbursement for services of affiliates,
      including $5,000 and $6,000 of
      construction service reimbursements in
      1997 and 1996, respectively                     40           38

During both 1997 and 1996, the General Partner received distributions of
approximately $1,000.

For the period January 1, 1996 to August 31, 1997, the Partnership insured its
properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated with
the General Partner.  An affiliate of the General Partner acquired, in the
acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from an insurance
agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the master policy.  The
agent assumed the financial obligations to the affiliate of the General Partner
who received payment on these obligations from the agent. The amount of the
Partnership's insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the
General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant.
