AGREEMENT OF SALE

     THIS AGREEMENT, entered into as of the 8 day of December, 1995, by and
between SENTINEL ACQUISITIONS CORP., a Delaware Corporation ("Purchaser") and
CHIMNEY RIDGE INVESTORS, an Illinois Limited Partnership ("Seller").

                                  WITNESSETH:

1.   PURCHASE AND SALE.  Purchaser agrees to purchase and Seller agrees to sell
at the price of Thirteen Million Six Hundred-Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($13,650,000.00) ("Purchase Price"), that certain property ("Property") in
Colorado Springs, Colorado, more particularly described on Exhibit A attached
hereto, which Property is known as Chimney Ridge Apartments.  Included in the
Purchase Price is all of the following: (a) the personal property set forth on
Exhibit B, which shall be transferred to Purchaser at Closing (as hereinafter
defined) by a Bill of Sale, including, without limitation, the fixtures and
equipment (however, excluding computer hardware and software) (collectively,
"Personal Property"); and (b) the buildings, structures and other facilities,
including 280 apartment units on approximately 8.9 acres, consisting of 216
one-bedroom apartments and 64 two-bedroom apartments, and a clubhouse, other
facilities and parking, as more completely described on the Survey (as
hereinafter defined), collectively referred to as the "Improvements".

2.   PURCHASE PRICE.  The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

     a.   Upon the execution of this Agreement, the sum of $150,000.00
("Earnest Money") to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent (as that term is
defined in the Escrow Agreement), by and in accordance with the provisions of
the Escrow Agreement ("Escrow Agreement") attached hereto as Exhibit C;

     b.   By taking title to the Property subject to the existing first
mortgage ("First Mortgage") to the benefit of Berkshire Mortgage Finance
Limited Partnership ("Lender"), which secures a note to the benefit of Lender
in the original principal amount of $7,400,000.00 ("First Note").  The unpaid
principal balance on the First Note as of the Closing Date (as hereinafter
defined) will be approximately $7,250,000.00; and

     c.   On the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), $6,400,000.00
(inclusive of all Earnest Money and the interest accrued thereon) adjusted in
accordance with the prorations by federally wired "immediately available" funds
delivered to the Title Insurer (as hereinafter defined) no later than 2:00 P.M.
Eastern Time on the Closing Date.  The cash due at Closing will be adjusted to
reflect any increase or decrease in the amount of the principal balance due on
the First Note as of the Closing Date.

3.   UNDERLYING OBLIGATIONS.  Copies of the First Note and First Mortgage are
attached hereto as Exhibit D and are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the
"Existing Note" and "Existing Encumbrance".  If the First Mortgage documents
require that the Lender consent to the conveyance provided for in this
Agreement, then the parties' obligations hereunder are subject to receipt of
the consent ("Consent") and an Estoppel Certificate (as hereinafter defined).
The Purchaser agrees to execute the documents required by the Lender in order
to obtain Lender's Consent, provided that, except for the limited personal
liability provisions presently contained in the First Mortgage documents,
Purchaser will not assume any personal liability for the indebtedness and the
Consent shall not require a change in the interest rate or a change in the
maturity date of the loan.  If the Consent is not received by Seller within
<PAGE>
five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, then either party shall have the right
upon notice to the other party delivered not less than three (3) days prior to
the Closing Date to terminate this Agreement.  In the event of termination of
this Agreement, all the Earnest Money plus all accrued interest shall be
delivered to the Purchaser.

4.   TITLE COMMITMENT AND SURVEY.

     a.   Attached hereto as Exhibit E is a title commitment dated November 2,
1995 ("Title Commitment") for an owner's standard coverage ALTA 1987 title
insurance policy ("Title Policy") issued by Lawyers Title Insurance Company
("Title Insurer").  The owner's Title Policy issued at Closing will be in the
amount of the Purchase Price subject only to real estate taxes not yet due and
payable, the general printed exceptions contained in the policy, the First
Mortgage documents set forth in Schedule B-Section 1, items c and d, and the
special title exceptions set forth in Schedule B-Section 2, Numbers 1, 2, 3 and
6 through 16 inclusive of the Title Commitment.  All of the above are herein
referred to as the "Permitted Exceptions".  On the Closing Date, Seller shall
cause the Title Insurer to issue the Title Policy or a "marked up" commitment
in conformity with the Title Commitment, including a Form 9 Endorsement and a
Zoning Endorsement (if available).  Seller shall pay the cost of the Title
Policy; however, Purchaser shall pay the costs of "extended coverage" or any
special endorsements which Purchaser requires.

     b.   Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a survey ("Survey") of the Property
prepared by C.R. Moore Land Surveying, dated August 4, 1993, and Purchaser
approves all of the matters set forth on the Survey.  Prior to the Closing,
Seller will have the Survey updated and certified to the Purchaser and the
Title Insurer.  However, if Purchaser requires any additional survey work,
Purchaser shall pay for the cost of such additional work.  If the updated
Survey discloses matters which are not reflected on the original Survey and
which would prevent the Title Insurer from deleting the survey exception from
the Title Policy ("Survey Defects"), then upon notice delivered to Seller by
Purchaser within three (3) days after receipt of the updated Survey, Seller
shall either cause the Survey Defects to be removed from the updated Survey or
cause the Title Insurer to insure against loss or damage resulting from the
Survey Defects ("Title Indemnity").  If Seller is unwilling to (i) have the
Survey Defects removed from the updated Survey or (ii) cause the Title Insurer
to issue a Title Indemnity to Purchaser within five (5) days after receipt of
notice from Purchaser of the Survey Defects, then Purchaser shall have the
right to elect to terminate this Agreement.  Purchaser shall notify Seller of
its election within three (3) days after receipt of notice from Seller that the
Survey Defects will not be removed or that the Title Insurer will not issue the
Title Indemnity.  If Purchaser fails to make the election within the aforesaid
three (3) days, then it shall be conclusively presumed that Purchaser has
elected to take title to the Property subject to the Survey Defects.  If
Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph, then
the Earnest Money plus all accrued interest shall be delivered to Purchaser.

5.   CONDITION OF TITLE/CONVEYANCE.  Seller agrees to convey fee simple title
to the Property by Special Warranty Deed ("Deed") in recordable form subject
only to the Permitted Exceptions.  If Seller is unable to convey title to the
Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions because of the existence of
an additional title exception ("Unpermitted Exception"), then Purchaser can
elect to take title to the Property subject to the Unpermitted Exception or
terminate this Agreement.  If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement,
<PAGE>
then the Earnest Money plus all accrued interest shall be delivered to the
Purchaser.

6.   PAYMENT OF CLOSING COSTS.  Purchaser shall pay the costs of the
documentary stamps (if any) to be paid with reference to the Deed and all other
stamps, intangible, documentary, recording, sales tax and surtax imposed by law
with reference to any other documents delivered in connection with this
Agreement.

7.   DAMAGE, CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION.

     a.   If prior to the Closing, there shall occur any proposed taking
("Taking") of the Property (or any part thereof) by eminent domain, which
taking would have a value reasonably estimated by Seller to be in excess of
$100,000.00 or which Taking would close any material right of access to the
Property or eliminate any parking spaces which would cause the Property to be
out of conformity with zoning laws, then Purchaser shall have the right and
option to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice to such
effect within ten (10) days after actual receipt of written notification of any
such occurrence or occurrences.  If Purchaser does not exercise its right of
termination, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, the
Purchase Price for the Property shall not be abated and Seller shall assign all
right, title, interest in and to the condemnation award (and deliver any
portion of that award received by Seller prior to Closing) to Purchaser at
Closing.

     b.   If prior to Closing there shall occur any damage or destruction to
the Improvements by fire or other casualty that shall not have been restored to
its pre-existing condition and the cost to restore the Improvements (as
determined pursuant to Paragraph d below) shall exceed 2% of the Purchase
Price, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within 15
days after receipt of the determination of the cost to restore.  If Purchaser
does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement, then the Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect.

     c.   If prior to Closing there shall occur any damage or destruction to
the Improvements by fire or other casualty and the cost to restore the
Improvements (as determined pursuant to Paragraph d below) shall be less than
two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price, then this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect, the Purchase Price shall be abated by the cost to
restore and Seller shall be entitled to all of the insurance proceeds arising
from that casualty, except rental insurance proceeds as provided in e below.

     d.   The cost to restore the Improvements to a condition having the
design, specifications and equipment of the Improvements at the time of the
casualty shall be determined by obtaining a fixed price bid for that work by a
contractor having at least five years' experience in the construction of
multifamily housing, selected by Seller and approved by Purchaser (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

     e.   If Purchaser shall elect or be obligated to purchase the Property,
the rental insurance proceeds payable under Seller's insurance policies shall
be prorated as of the Closing Date as and when such proceeds are received.

     f.   The Closing shall be adjourned for a reasonable time (however, not to
exceed thirty days) as may be required to obtain the information and make the
decisions described above.
<PAGE>
     g.   This Paragraph  is an express provision with respect to destruction
and eminent domain and is intended to supersede any applicable statute
regarding risk of loss.

8.   AS-IS CONDITION.

     a.   Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it will be purchasing the
Property based solely upon its inspection and investigations of the Property
and that Purchaser will be purchasing the Property "AS IS" and "WITH ALL

Agreement, subject to reasonable wear and tear and loss by fire or other
casualty or condemnation from the date of this Agreement until the Closing
Date.  Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that, except as

codes or building codes.  Purchaser hereby releases Seller from any and all
liability in connection with any claims which Purchaser may have against
Seller, and Purchaser hereby agrees not to assert any claims, for damage, loss,
compensation, contribution, cost recovery or otherwise, against Seller, whether
in tort, contract, or otherwise, relating directly or indirectly to the
existence of asbestos or Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Substances on, or
environmental conditions of, the Property, or arising under the Environmental
Laws (as such term is hereinafter defined), or relating in any way to the
quality of the indoor or outdoor environment at the Property.  This release

time in which Seller owned the Property.  Seller and Purchaser hereby
acknowledge that such information has been provided to Purchaser at Purchaser's
request solely as illustrative material.  Except as may otherwise be
specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller makes no
representation or warranty that such material is complete or accurate or that
Purchaser will achieve similar financial or other results with respect to the

operation of the Property and releases Seller from any liability with respect
to such historical information.

and subject to the provisions of Paragraph .  Seller hereby consents to an
assignment to an entity, the ownership and control of which is held directly or

all reports and the Documents (collectively, "Reports") which Purchaser has
received from the Seller.  Upon receipt of the Notice of Disapproval and the
Reports, the Earnest Money plus the interest accrued thereon shall be returned
to the Purchaser.  If Purchaser does not deliver a Notice of Disapproval and
the Reports to Seller, then it shall be conclusively presumed that Purchaser
has approved the Documents and the condition of the Property and all Earnest
Money plus the interest accrued thereon shall belong to Seller unless Seller is
in default hereunder.

18.  SURVIVAL OF PURCHASER'S INDEMNITY.  Notwithstanding anything in this
