                      Brownsville, TX 78520

This  AGREEMENT, entered into effective as of the 5th  of  March,
2001.

l.  PARTIES.  Seller  is  AEI  Real  Estate  Fund  XVIII  Limited
Partnership.   AEI  Real  Estate Fund XVIII  Limited  Partnership
holds an undivided 100% interest in the fee title to that certain
real  property legally described in the attached Exhibit "A" (the
"Property").   Buyer is Mark W. Wright, Trustee, or  his  assigns
("Buyer").  Seller  wishes to sell and Buyer wishes  to  buy  the
Property.

2. PROPERTY. The Property to be sold to Buyer in this transaction
is  legally described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto, subject  to
all easements, covenants, conditions, restrictions and agreements
of  record  that do not affect marketability of title  or  affect
adversely  the  use  of  the  Property ("Permitted  Exceptions"),
subject  to the provisions of Buyer review of title as set  forth
below in paragraph 8.

3.  PURCHASE  PRICE.  The purchase price  for  this  Property  is
$490,000  cash plus $50 independent consideration, based  on  the
following terms:

4.  TERMS.  The purchase price for the Property will be  paid  by
Buyer as follows:

     (a)  When this agreement is executed, Buyer will pay  $5,000
     in cash or good funds (the "First Payment") to Chicago Title
     Insurance Company, attention Mary Furgason, 14607 San  Pedro
     Avenue,  Suite 175, San Antonio, TX 78232 through its  agent
     Southern   Texas   Title   Company,   717   N.   Expressway,
     Brownsville, TX 78520 ("Escrowee").  The First Payment  will
     be  credited against the purchase price when and  if  escrow
     closes  and  the  sale is completed, or otherwise  disbursed
     pursuant  to  the  terms  of  this  Agreement.   After   the
     expiration  of the Review Period as defined in  paragraph  6
     below,  the  First  Payment held for the account  of  Seller
     shall become non-refundable.

      (b)  Buyer will pay the balance of purchase price  for  the
Property,  $485,000  in  cash or       good  funds  (the  "Second
Payment"),  at  closing  to  the Escrowee  who  shall  close  the
transaction according to the terms hereof.

     (c) When this Agreement is executed, Buyer will also pay $50
in   cash   in   good   funds     directly  to  Seller   ("Option
Consideration"),  which  shall be in consideration  for  Seller's
execution  of  this Agreement, but will be credited  against  the
purchase  price  when and if    escrow closes  and  the  sale  is
completed.  The Option Consideration shall be considered     non-
refundable if this Agreement is terminated for any reason.

5.  CLOSING DATE.  Escrow shall close on or before the  thirtieth
day after the Inspection and Feasibility Study is completed.

6.  DUE  DILIGENCE. Buyer will have until the expiration  of  the
sixtieth  day  after  delivery  of the  signed  "Agreement"  (the
"Inspection and Feasibility Study Period"), to conduct all of its
inspections and due diligence and satisfy itself regarding  title
to  the  Property, and to inspect the Property. Buyer  agrees  to
indemnify  and  hold  harmless for any  loss  or  damage  to  the
Property or persons caused by Buyer or its agents arising out  of
such  physical  inspections  of  the  Property.  Buyer  expressly
acknowledges that the sale of the Property as provided for herein
is  made  on  an "AS IS" basis, and such provision shall  survive
closing.





      Buyer may cancel this agreement for ANY REASON in its  sole
discretion by delivering a cancellation notice by certified mail,
return  receipt requested, or by personal delivery to Seller  and
escrow  holder  before  the  expiration  of  the  Inspection  and
Feasibility  Study  Period or Inspection  Period  as  defined  in
Section  16.  Such  notice shall be deemed  effective  only  upon
receipt by Seller. If this Agreement is not canceled as set forth
herein,  the First Payment shall be non-refundable unless  Seller
shall default hereunder.

      If  Buyer  cancels this Agreement as permitted  under  this
Section  or  Section  16, except for any title  insurance  and/or
escrow  cancellation fees of the escrowee which will be  paid  by
the  Buyer,  and  any liabilities under sections  15(a)(iii)  and
16(b)  of  this  Agreement  (which will  survive),  Buyer  (after
execution  of  such documents reasonably requested by  Seller  to
evidence  the  termination hereof) shall be  returned  its  First
Payment,  and  Buyer will have absolutely no  rights,  claims  or
interest  of  any  type in connection with the Property  or  this
transaction,  regardless  of any alleged  conduct  by  Seller  or
anyone else.

      Unless  Seller  shall  be  in  default  of  any  obligation
hereunder, or this Agreement is canceled by Buyer pursuant to the
terms  hereof, if Buyer fails to make the Second Payment,  Seller
shall   be  entitled  to  retain  the  First  Payment  and  Buyer
irrevocably  will be deemed to have canceled this  Agreement  and
relinquish  all rights in and to the Property. If this  Agreement
is not canceled and the Second Payment is made when required, all
of Buyer's conditions and contingencies will be deemed satisfied.

7.  ESCROW. Escrow shall be opened by Buyer and the First Payment
shall  be  deposited  by Buyer with Escrowee.   A  copy  of  this
Agreement  will be delivered to the escrow holder and will  serve
as escrow instructions together with the escrow holder's standard
instructions  and  any additional instructions  required  by  the
escrow  holder  to  clarify its rights and duties.   The  parties
agree  to sign these additional instructions of the Escrowee,  if
any.  If  there is any conflict between these other  instructions
and this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

8.  TITLE.  Closing will be conditioned on the  commitment  of  a
nationally recognized title company selected by Seller  to  issue
an  Owner's policy of title insurance, dated as of the  close  of
escrow,  in an amount equal to the purchase price, insuring  that
Buyer  will own marketable and insurable fee simple title to  the
Property subject only to: the Permitted Exceptions as defined  in
paragraph  2 above;  current real property taxes and assessments;
and survey exceptions.

       Buyer  shall  be  allowed  until  the  expiration  of  the
"Inspection and Feasibility Study Period" for examination and the
making  of  any objections to marketability of title thereto,  or
that  an  exception to title adversely affects  the  use  of  the
Property, said objections to be made in writing or deemed waived.
If  any objections are so made, the Seller shall be allowed sixty
(60)   days  to  make  such  title  marketable  or  cure  Buyer's
objections,  or  in the alternative to obtain  a  commitment  for
insurable  title  insuring over Buyer's  objections.   If  Seller
shall  decide to make no efforts to make title marketable, or  is
unable to make title marketable or obtain insurable title, (after
execution  by  Buyer  of such documents reasonably  requested  by
Seller  to evidence the termination hereof) Buyer's First Payment
shall  be returned and this agreement shall be null and void  and
of no further force and effect.

     Pending correction of title, the payments hereunder required
shall  be postponed, but upon correction of title and within  ten
(10)  days  after written notice of correction to the Buyer,  the
parties shall perform this agreement according to its terms.



      If  Buyer shall make no written objection to Seller  within
the  Review Period setting forth Buyer's objections to the status
of  title, Buyer shall have been deemed to have waived  any  such
objections.

9.  CLOSING COSTS.  Seller will pay the deed stamp taxes, if any,
and  one-half of escrow fees attributable to the closing services
for  this  transaction, and any brokerage commissions payable  to
BorderPlex  Realty, LLC only.  Seller shall pay for the  cost  of
issuing the title policy.  Buyer will pay all recording fees, one-
half of the escrow fees, the costs of an update to the Survey  in
Seller's  possession (if an update is required by  Buyer).   Each
party will pay its own attorneys' fees and costs to document  and
close this transaction.

10.  REAL  ESTATE  TAXES,  SPECIAL  ASSESSMENTS  AND  PRORATIONS.
Seller  represents  that to the best of its knowledge,  all  real
estate  taxes and assessments due and payable in all years  prior
to  the  year  of Closing have been paid in full.  Responsibility
for  real  estate taxes and special assessments shall be prorated
as  of the date of closing based upon the most recently available
tax  bill with no readjustment for the taxes due for the year  in
which  closing  shall occur. All real estate  taxes  and  special
assessments  due and payable in the years following the  year  in
which  closing  occurs shall otherwise be the  responsibility  of
Buyer.

12. DISCLOSURES.

     Agreement,   Seller   hereby  specifically   disclaims   any

     nature  and  condition of the Property,  including,  without
     limitation,   the   water,  soil,  and  geology,   and   the
     suitability  thereof and of the Property  for  any  and  all
     activities  and  uses  which  Buyer  may  elect  to  conduct
     thereon; (ii) except for the warranty of title contained  in
     the  Deed  to  be  delivered by Seller at the  closing,  the
     nature  and  extent of any right of way, lease,  possession,
     lien,  encumbrance,  license,  reservation,  condition,   or
     otherwise, and (iii) the compliance of the Property  or  its
     operation with any laws, ordinances, or regulations  of  any
     government or other body.




     (b)  This  Agreement is subject to an inspection contingency
     as  set  forth in Section 16.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees
     that  Buyer  is  not  relying  upon  any  representation  or
     warranties made by Seller or Seller's Agent.

     (c)   Buyer   acknowledges  that,  having  been  given   the
     opportunity to inspect the Property, Buyer is relying solely
     on  its  own  investigation of the Property and not  on  any
     information provided by Seller or to be provided  except  as
     set  forth  herein.  Buyer expressly acknowledges  that,  in
     consideration of the agreements of the Seller herein, except
     as  otherwise specified herein, Seller makes no Warranty  or
     representation, express or implied, or arising by  operation
     of  law,  including,  but not limited to,  any  warranty  or
     condition,  habitability,  tenantability,  suitability   for
     commercial  purposes,  merchantability,  profitability,   or
     fitness  for  a  particular  purpose,  in  respect  of   the
     Property.

     (d) BUYER AGREES THAT IT SHALL BE PURCHASING THE PROPERTY IN
     ITS  THEN PRESENT CONDITION, AS IS, WHERE IS, AND SELLER HAS
     NO  OBLIGATION  TO  CONSTRUCT  OR  REPAIR  ANY  IMPROVEMENTS
     THEREON, OR TO PERFORM ANY OTHER ACT REGARDING THE PROPERTY.
     WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, BUYER ALSO
     AGREES  THAT  SELLER  WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY  OF  ANY  TYPE,
     DIRECT OR INDIRECT, TO BUYER OR BUYER'S SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS,
     LENDERS  OR  AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION  WITH  ANY  HAZARDOUS,
     TOXIC,   DANGEROUS,   FLAMMABLE,   EXPLOSIVE   OR   CHEMICAL
     SUBSTANCES OF ANY TYPE (WHETHER OR NOT DEFINED AS SUCH UNDER
     ANY  APPLICABLE LAWS) ON OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE  PROPERTY
     EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE CLOSING DATE.

     The provisions (a) through (d) shall survive closing.

13. CLOSING.

     (a) Before the closing date, Seller will deposit into escrow
     an  executed  special  warranty deed  subject  to  Permitted
     Exceptions  conveying insurable title  of  the  Property  to
     Buyer.  At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a standard
     Seller's Affidavit regarding liens and judgments.

     (b)  On or before the closing date, Buyer will deposit  into

     actions necessary to close escrow.

and  claims  and  Seller will be relieved of all obligations  and
will  be  entitled to retain all monies (First, and if made,  the
final  Payments)  heretofore paid by  the  Buyer.   Seller  shall
retain all remedies available to Seller at law or in equity.

to file a lis pendens, a specific performance action or any other
claim,  action or proceeding of any type in connection  with  the

and  will  not  do  anything to affect title to the  Property  or
hinder,  delay  or  prevent  any  other  sale,  lease  or   other
transaction involving the Property (any and all of which will  be
null  and void), unless: it has paid the First Payment, performed
all  of its other obligations and satisfied all conditions  under
this  Agreement,  and  unconditionally notifies  Seller  that  it
stands  ready  to tender full performance, purchase the  Property

17. DAMAGES, DESTRUCTION AND EMINENT DOMAIN.

     (a)  If,  prior to closing, the Property or any part thereof

     any cause, due to events occurring subsequent to the date of
     this Agreement to the extent that the cost of repair exceeds
     $20,000,  this  Agreement shall become  null  and  void,  at
     Buyer's  option exercised, if at all, by written  notice  to
     Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer has received written
     notice  from Seller of said destruction or damage.   Seller,
     however,  shall  have  the right to  adjust  or  settle  any
     insured  loss  until  (i)  all contingencies  set  forth  in
     Paragraph 6 hereof have been satisfied, or waived; and  (ii)
     any  period provided for above in this Subparagraph 17a  for
     Buyer  to  elect to terminate this Agreement has expired  or
     Buyer has, by written notice to Seller, waived Buyer's right
     to terminate this Agreement.  If Buyer elects to proceed and
     to   consummate   the  purchase  despite  said   damage   or
     destruction, there shall be no reduction in or abatement  of
     the  purchase  price, and Seller shall assign to  Buyer  the
     Seller's  right, title, and interest in and to all insurance
     proceeds  resulting from said damage or destruction  to  the
     extent  that the same are payable with respect to damage  to
     the Property.

     If  the cost of repair is less than $20,000.00, Buyer  shall
     be  obligated  to  otherwise  perform  hereinunder  with  no
     adjustment  to  the Purchase Price, reduction or  abatement,
     and  Seller shall assign Seller's right, title and  interest
     in  and  to  all  insurance  proceeds  in  relation  to  the
     Property.

     (b) If, prior to closing, the Property, or any part thereof,
     is  taken (other than as disclosed in writing to Buyer prior
     to  the  date  of  this Agreement) by eminent  domain,  this
     Agreement shall become null and void, at Buyer's option.  If
     Buyer  elects  to  proceed  and to consummate  the  purchase
     despite  said  taking, there shall be no  reduction  in,  or
     abatement of, the purchase price, and Seller shall assign to
     Buyer all the Seller's right, title, and interest in and  to
     any   award  made,  or  to  be  made,  in  the  condemnation
     proceeding in relation to the Property.

      In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer  as
provided above in Subparagraph 17(a) or 17(b), the First  Payment
shall  be immediately returned to Buyer (after execution by Buyer
of  such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the
termination hereof).

18.  SELLER'S AND BUYER'S BROKERS.  Other than BorderPlex Realty,
LLC,  whose four and one-half percent (4.5%) commission is to  be
paid solely by Seller, both parties represent and warrant that no
other broker has been involved on behalf of the warranting party,
and  both  parties agree to indemnify the other and hold harmless
from any claim through or on behalf of such other party.

19.  CANCELLATION   If any party elects to cancel  this  Contract
because  of  any breach by another party, the party  electing  to
cancel  shall  deliver  to escrow agent a notice  containing  the
address  of  the party in breach and stating that  this  Contract
shall  be  canceled  unless the breach is cured  within  13  days
following the delivery of the notice to the escrow agent.  Within
three  days after receipt of such notice, the escrow agent  shall
send  it  by  United States Mail to the party in  breach  at  the
address  contained in the Notice and no further notice  shall  be
required.   If  the  breach  is not  cured  within  the  13  days
following  the delivery of the notice to the escrow  agent,  this
Contract shall be canceled.

20. MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a)  This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement
     signed by both Seller and Buyer, and all waivers must be  in
     writing  and signed by the waiving party.  Time  is  of  the
     essence.   This  Agreement  will not  be  construed  for  or

     election,  extend  the  closing date,  exercise  any  remedy
     available  to  it  by  law, including  but  not  limited  to
     terminating this Agreement.

     (c)  Funds to be deposited or paid by Buyer will be good and
     clear  funds in the form of cash, cashier's checks  or  wire
     transfers.
