     by  the  registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules  and
     regulations  of  the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  and
     reflect   all  adjustments  which  are,  in  the  opinion   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

     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted  pursuant
     to   such  rules  and  regulations,  although  the  registrant

     24,000  Limited  Partnership Units was reached.   Under  the
     terms  of  the  Limited Partnership Agreement,  the  Limited
     Partners   and   General  Partners  contributed   funds   of
     $24,000,000 and $1,000, respectively.

     During operations, 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 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
     10%  of  their  Adjusted  Capital  Contribution  per  annum,
     cumulative  but not compounded, to the extent not previously
     distributed from Net Cash Flow;  (ii) any remaining  balance
     will  be distributed 90% to the Limited Partners and 10%  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  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 in  the
     same  ratio  as  the  last  dollar  of  Net  Cash  Flow   is
     distributed.   Net losses from operations will be  allocated
     99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners.

     For  tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing,
     or  other  disposition  of 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 10% of their Adjusted Capital Contributions
     per  annum, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not
     previously  allocated;  (iii)  third,  the  balance  of  any
     remaining  gain  will then be allocated 90% to  the  Limited
     Partners  and 10% 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)  Reclassification -

     Certain  items  related to discontinued  operations  in  the
     prior  period's financial statements have been  reclassified
     to  conform  to  2008 presentation.  These reclassifications
     had  no  effect  on Partners' capital, net  income  or  cash
     flows.

(6)  Discontinued Operations - (Continued)

     In  March 2008, the Partnership entered into an agreement to
     sell  the Johnny Carino's restaurant in Laredo, Texas to  an
     unrelated  third  party.  On May 15, 2008, the  sale  closed
     with  the  Partnership receiving net proceeds of $2,896,269,
     which  resulted in a net gain of $536,717.  At the  time  of
     sale,  the  cost  and related accumulated  depreciation  was
     $2,605,079 and $245,527, respectively.

     The Partnership is attempting to sell the KinderCare daycare
     center in Ballwin, Missouri.  At June 30, 2008, the property
     was  classified  as Real Estate Held for Sale  with  a  book
     value of $1,212,625.

     During   the  first  six  months  of  2008  and  2007,   the
     Partnership  distributed net sale proceeds of  $340,491  and
     $160,946  to  the Limited and General Partners  as  part  of
     their quarterly distributions, which represented a return of
     capital  of  $14.80 and $6.98 per Limited Partnership  Unit,
     respectively.  The Partnership anticipates the remaining net
     sale  proceeds  will  either  be  reinvested  in  additional
     property or distributed to the Partners in the future.

     The financial results for these properties are reflected  as
     Discontinued   Operations  in  the  accompanying   financial
     statements.   The following are the results of  discontinued

(7)  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements -

     In  December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards  Board
     issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.
     141(R)  ("SFAS 141(R)"), Business Combinations.  SFAS 141(R)
     requires,  among other things, the expensing of acquisition-
     related transaction costs.  Management anticipates that SFAS
     141(R) will be effective for property acquisitions completed
     on  or after January 1, 2009.  Management is evaluating  the
     effect  that  the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have  on  the
     Partnership's results of operations, financial position, and
     the related disclosures.

ITEM  2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

        The Management's Discussion and Analysis contains various
"forward  looking  statements"  within  the  meaning  of  federal
securities  laws  which  represent management's  expectations  or
beliefs  concerning future events, including statements regarding
anticipated  application of cash, expected  returns  from  rental
income,  growth  in  revenue, the sufficiency  of  cash  to  meet
operating  expenses, rates of distribution,  and  other  matters.
These,   and  other  forward  looking  statements  made  by   the
Partnership,  must be evaluated in the context  of  a  number  of
factors that may affect the Partnership's financial condition and
results of operations, including the following:

    Market  and  economic conditions which affect the  value
    of  the  properties the Partnership owns and  the  cash
    from rental income such properties generate;

    the  federal  income tax consequences of rental  income,
    deductions,  gain  on  sales and other  items  and  the
    effects of these consequences for the Partners;

    resolution  by  the General Partners of  conflicts  with
    which they may be confronted;

    the   success  of  the  General  Partners  of   locating
    properties with favorable risk return characteristics;

    the effect of tenant defaults; and

    the  condition of the industries in which the  tenants  of
    properties owned by the Partnership operate.

The Application of Critical Accounting Policies

        The preparation of the Partnership's financial statements
requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that  may
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues  and
expenses,  and  related  disclosure  of  contingent  assets   and
liabilities. Management evaluates these estimates on  an  ongoing
basis,  including  those related to the carrying  value  of  real
estate  and  the  allocation  by AEI  Fund  Management,  Inc.  of
expenses  to  the  Partnership as opposed  to  other  funds  they
manage.

        The Partnership purchases properties and records them  in
the   financial   statements  at  cost   (including   capitalized
acquisition  expenses).   The Partnership  anticipates  that  for
acquisitions  completed on or after January 1, 2009, acquisition-
related  transaction  costs will be expensed  as  incurred  as  a
result  of  the  adoption  of Statement of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No.  141(R), Business Combinations.   The  Partnership
tests long-lived assets for recoverability when events or changes
in  circumstances  indicate that the carrying value  may  not  be
recoverable.   For  properties  the  Partnership  will  hold  and
operate, management determines whether impairment has occurred by
comparing the property's probability-weighted cash flows  to  its
current carrying value.  For properties held for sale, management
determines  whether  impairment has  occurred  by  comparing  the
property's estimated fair value less cost to sell to its  current
carrying  value.   If  the carrying value  is  greater  than  the
realizable  value, an impairment loss is recorded to  reduce  the
carrying value of the property to its realizable value.   Changes
in  these  assumptions or analysis may cause material changes  in
the carrying value of the properties.

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

        AEI  Fund Management, Inc. allocates expenses to each  of
the  funds  they manage primarily on the basis of the  number  of
hours  devoted  by their employees to each fund's affairs.   They
also  allocate  expenses at the end of each month  that  are  not
directly related to a fund's operations based upon the number  of
investors  in the fund and the fund's capitalization relative  to
other  funds  they  manage.   The  Partnership  reimburses  these
expenses  subject  to  detailed  limitations  contained  in   the
Partnership Agreement.

         Management   of  the  Partnership  has   discussed   the
development  and selection of the above accounting estimates  and
the management discussion and analysis disclosures regarding them
with the managing partner of the Partnership.

Results of Operations

        For  the  six  months ended June 30, 2008 and  2007,  the
Partnership  recognized rental income from continuing  operations
of  $555,105 and $440,458, respectively.  In 2008, rental  income
increased  due  to  additional rent received  from  one  property
acquisition in 2008 and rent increases on two properties.

        For  the  six  months ended June 30, 2008 and  2007,  the
Partnership  incurred  Partnership administration  expenses  from
affiliated parties of $112,846 and $110,227, 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  $26,127 and $23,854, respectively.   These  expenses
represent  direct payments to third parties for legal and  filing
fees,  direct  administrative costs, outside audit costs,  taxes,
insurance and other property costs.

        For  the  six  months ended June 30, 2008 and  2007,  the
Partnership  recognized interest income of $33,266  and  $42,457,
respectively.   Interest  income decreased  due  to  lower  money
market  interest rates in 2008, when compared to the same  period
in 2007.

        In  accordance  with  Statement of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal  of
Long-Lived  Assets,  upon  complete disposal  of  a  property  or
classification of a property as Real Estate Held  for  Sale,  the
Partnership  includes  the operating  results  and  sale  of  the
property   in   discontinued  operations.    In   addition,   the
Partnership reclassifies the prior periods' operating results  of
the  property  to discontinued operations.  For  the  six  months
ended  June  30,  2008,  the Partnership recognized  income  from
discontinued  operations of $750,762, representing rental  income
less  property management expenses and depreciation  of  $114,853
and  gain  on disposal of real estate of $635,909.  For  the  six
months  ended  June  30, 2007, the Partnership recognized  income
from  discontinued  operations of $444,001,  representing  rental
income  less  property management expenses  and  depreciation  of
$292,332 and gain on disposal of real estate of $151,669.

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

        During  the  first three months of 2007, the  Partnership
sold its remaining 10.0242% interest in the Eckerd drug store  in
Utica, New York, in two separate transactions, to unrelated third
parties.   The  Partnership received total net sale  proceeds  of
$509,303, which resulted in a net gain of $59,412.  The cost  and
related  accumulated  depreciation  of  the  interests  sold  was
$463,144 and $13,253, respectively.

        On  April 12, 2007, the Partnership sold 12.1042% of  the
KinderCare daycare center in Kimberly, Wisconsin to an  unrelated
third  party.   The  Partnership received net  sale  proceeds  of
$236,188, which resulted in a net gain of $92,257.  The cost  and
related  accumulated  depreciation  of  the  interest  sold   was
$164,404 and $20,473, respectively.

        On  January 15, 2008, the Partnership sold its  remaining
13.4184%  interest in the KinderCare daycare center in  Kimberly,
Wisconsin to an unrelated third party.  The Partnership  received
net  sale proceeds of $258,749, which resulted in a net  gain  of
$99,192.   The cost and related accumulated depreciation  of  the
interest  sold  was  $182,253  and  $22,696,  respectively.    At
December  31,  2007, the property was classified as  Real  Estate
Held for Sale with a book value of $159,557.

        On  August  30,  2007, the Partnership sold  the  Champps
Americana  restaurant in San Antonio, Texas to the  tenant.   The
Partnership  received  net  sale proceeds  of  $3,143,523,  which
resulted  in a net gain of $1,018,624.  At the time of sale,  the
cost  and  related  accumulated depreciation was  $2,833,357  and
$708,458, respectively.

        In  March 2008, the Partnership entered into an agreement
to  sell  the Johnny Carino's restaurant in Laredo, Texas  to  an
unrelated third party.  On May 15, 2008, the sale closed with the
Partnership receiving net proceeds of $2,896,269, which  resulted
in  a  net  gain of $536,717.  At the time of sale, the cost  and
related  accumulated  depreciation was $2,605,079  and  $245,527,
respectively.

        The  Partnership  is  attempting to sell  the  KinderCare
daycare  center  in  Ballwin, Missouri.  At June  30,  2008,  the
property was classified as Real Estate Held for Sale with a  book
value of $1,212,625.

        Inflation  has  had  a  minimal  effect  on  income  from
operations.   Leases  may contain rent increases,  based  on  the
increase  in  the  Consumer Price Index over a specified  period,
which  will result in an increase in rental income over the  term
of  the  leases.   In addition, leases may contain  rent  clauses
which  entitle  the  Partnership to receive  additional  rent  in
future  years  if gross receipts for the property exceed  certain
specified  amounts.  Increases in sales volumes of  the  tenants,
due to inflation and real sales growth, may result in an increase
in rental income over the term of the leases.  Inflation also may
cause the real estate to appreciate in value.  However, inflation
and  changing prices may have an adverse impact on the  operating
margins  of  the  properties' tenants, which could  impair  their
ability  to  pay rent and subsequently reduce the Net  Cash  Flow
available for distributions.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         During   the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2008,   the
Partnership's  cash balances decreased $652,665 as  a  result  of
cash  used  to purchase property and distributions  paid  to  the
Partners  in  excess of cash generated from operating activities,
which  were partially offset by cash generated from the  sale  of
property.   During  the  six  months ended  June  30,  2007,  the
Partnership's  cash balances increased $512,861 as  a  result  of
cash  generated  from the sale of property, which  was  partially
offset  by distributions paid to the Partners in excess  of  cash
generated from operating activities.

        Net  cash provided by operating activities decreased from
$703,726 in 2007 to $617,986 in 2008 as a result of a decrease in
total  rental  and  interest income in 2008 and  an  increase  in
Partnership  administration and property management  expenses  in
2008,  which  were partially offset by net timing differences  in
the  collection of payments from the tenants 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 six months ended  June
30,  2008 and 2007, the Partnership generated cash flow from  the
sale  of  real  estate of $3,155,018 and $745,491,  respectively.
During  the  six  months  ended June 30,  2008,  the  Partnership
expended  $3,629,090 to invest in real properties  (inclusive  of
acquisition   expenses)  as  the  Partnership   reinvested   cash
generated from property sales.

        On  January  31,  2008, the Partnership purchased  a  54%
interest  in  a  Best  Buy  store in Eau  Claire,  Wisconsin  for
$3,629,090.   The  property is leased to Best  Buy  Stores,  L.P.
under a Lease Agreement with a remaining primary term of 10 years
and initial annual rent of $256,001.  The remaining interests  in
the  property were purchased by AEI Income & Growth Fund  23  LLC
and   AEI  Income  &  Growth  Fund  26  LLC,  affiliates  of  the
Partnership.

        The  Partnership's primary use of cash flow,  other  than
investment   in  real  estate,  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.

        For  the  six  months ended June 30, 2008 and  2007,  the
Partnership  declared  distributions of  $944,439  and  $888,881,
respectively, which were distributed 99% to the Limited  Partners
and  1%  to the General Partners.  The Limited Partners  received
distributions  of $934,995 and $879,992 and the General  Partners
received  distributions  of $9,444 and $8,889  for  the  periods,
respectively.  In June 2007, the Partnership declared  a  special
distribution of net sale proceeds of $70,707.  In March and  June
2008, the Partnership declared special distributions of net  sale
proceeds of $58,586 and $176,768, respectively, which resulted in
higher distributions in 2008 and a higher distribution payable at
June 30, 2008.

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

        During  the  first  six  months of  2008  and  2007,  the
Partnership  distributed  net  sale  proceeds  of  $340,491   and
$160,946  to  the Limited and General Partners as part  of  their
quarterly distributions, which represented a return of capital of
$14.80 and $6.98 per Limited Partnership Unit, respectively.  The
Partnership  anticipates the remaining  net  sale  proceeds  will
either be reinvested in additional property or distributed to the
Partners in the future.

        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 will not be obligated
to purchase in any year any number of Units that, when aggregated
with  all  other transfers of Units that have occurred since  the
beginning   of  the  same  calendar  year  (excluding   Permitted
Transfers as defined in the Partnership Agreement), would  exceed
5%  of the total number of Units outstanding on January 1 of such
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  2007, two Limited Partners redeemed  a  total  of
23.34  Partnership  Units  for  $9,445  in  accordance  with  the
Partnership  Agreement.   The Partnership  acquired  these  Units
using Net Cash Flow from operations.  In prior years, a total  of
58  Limited  Partners  redeemed 1,197.55  Partnership  Units  for
$949,024.    The  redemptions  increase  the  remaining   Limited
Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership.  As a result  of
these   redemption  payments  and  pursuant  to  the  Partnership
Agreement, the General Partners received distributions of $96  in
2007.

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

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

       (a)  Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

        Under  the  supervision  and with  the  participation  of
management, including its President and Chief Financial  Officer,
the  Managing  General Partner of the Partnership  evaluated  the
effectiveness  of  the  design and operation  of  our  disclosure
controls  and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under  the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 (the "Exchange  Act")).   Based
upon  that evaluation, the President and Chief Financial  Officer
of  the Managing General Partner concluded that, as of the end of
the  period  covered by this report, our disclosure controls  and
procedures  were effective in ensuring that information  required
to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under
the  Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within  the time periods specified in applicable rules and  forms
and  that  such  information is accumulated and  communicated  to
management,  including the President and Chief Financial  Officer
of  the  Managing General Partner, in a manner that allows timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.

       (b)  Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

        During  the  most recent period covered by  this  report,
there  has  been no change in our internal control over financial
reporting  (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange  Act)
that  has  materially  affected,  or  is  reasonably  likely   to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Partnership  Agreement.  Units tendered to  the  Partnership  are

in  any  year any number of Units that, when aggregated with  all
other  transfers of Units that have occurred since the  beginning
of  the  same  calendar  year (excluding Permitted  Transfers  as
defined  in the Partnership Agreement), would exceed  5%  of  the
total number of Units outstanding on January 1 of such year.   In
no event shall the Partnership be obligated to purchase Units if,
in  the  sole  discretion of the Managing General  Partner,  such

Partnership.   During  the period covered  by  this  report,  the
