                  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 XVIII Limited Partnership (Partnership)
     was  formed  to  acquire and lease commercial properties  to
     operating tenants.  The Partnership's operations are managed
     by  AEI  Fund  Management XVIII, 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.,   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 February  15,  1989  when  minimum
     subscriptions    of   1,500   Limited   Partnership    Units
     ($1,500,000)  were  accepted.   The  Partnership's  offering
     terminated  December  4,  1990 when  the  extended  offering
     period expired.  The Partnership received subscriptions  for
     22,783.05 Limited Partnership Units ($22,783,050).
     
     Under  the  terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement,  the
     Limited  Partners and General Partners contributed funds  of
     $22,783,050, 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 -

     The  Partnership  owns  a  4.1022%  interest  in  a  Sizzler
     restaurant  in  Cincinnati, Ohio, a 93.2478% interest  in  a
     Sizzler  restaurant in Springboro, Ohio, and a 100% interest
     in  a  Sizzler restaurant in Fairfield, Ohio.  In  November,
     1993,  after  reviewing the lessee's operating results,  the
     Partnership  determined that the lessee would be  unable  to
     operate  the  restaurants in a manner capable of  maximizing
     the  restaurants' sales.  Consequently, at the direction  of
     the  Partnership,  a multi-unit restaurant operator  assumed
     operation of the restaurants while the Partnership  reviewed
     the available options.  In January, 1994 and June, 1994, the
     Partnership   closed  the  restaurants  in  Cincinnati   and
     Springboro, respectively, and listed them for sale or lease.
     While   the  properties  are  vacant,  the  Partnership   is
     responsible  for  the  real estate  taxes  and  other  costs
     required to maintain the properties.
     
     On  July 15, 1994, the Partnership re-leased the Sizzler  in
     Fairfield to Fairfield Foods, Inc. (Fairfield) under a Lease
     Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual  rental
     payments based on a percentage of sales.  Fairfield was  not
     able  to  profitably operate the restaurant and  closed  the
     restaurant.
     
     No  rents were collected from the Sizzler restaurants in the
     first  three months of 1998 and 1997.  The total  amount  of
     rent not collected in 1998 and 1997 was $45,920 and $98,695,
     respectively, for the three properties.  These amounts  were
     not accrued for financial reporting purposes.
     
     On  January  23, 1997, the Partnership sold its interest  in
     the  Cincinnati restaurant to an unrelated third party.  The
     Partnership  received net sales proceeds of  $19,867,  which
     resulted in a net loss of $31,700, which was recognized as a
     real estate impairment in 1996.
     
     In  December,  1996,  the Partnership,  in  order  to  avoid
     additional property management expenses, decided to sell the
     Sizzler  properties in Springboro and Fairfield rather  than
     to  continue  to attempt to re-lease the properties.   As  a
     result,  the  properties were reclassified  on  the  balance
     sheet  to Real Estate Held for Sale.  In addition, based  on
     an  analysis  of  market conditions  in  the  area,  it  was
     determined that a sale of the properties would result in net
     proceeds of approximately $800,000.  The Partnership's share
     of  the  proceeds would be approximately $773,000.  A charge
     to  operations  for  real  estate impairment  of  $1,654,600
     ($693,500 for the Springboro Sizzler, and $961,100  for  the
     Fairfield  Sizzler) was recognized in the fourth quarter  of
     1996, which is the difference between book value at December
     31,  1996  of  $2,427,600  ($1,066,500  for  the  Springboro
     Sizzler  and $1,361,100 for the Fairfield Sizzler)  and  the
     estimated  market  value  of  $773,000  ($373,000  for   the
     Springboro Sizzler and $400,000 for the Fairfield  Sizzler).
     The  charge  was  recorded against the  cost  of  the  land,
     building and equipment.
     
     On  September  22,  1997, the Partnership sold  the  Sizzler
     restaurant  in Fairfield, Ohio to an unrelated third  party.
     The  Partnership  received net sale  proceeds  of  $528,476,
     which  is in excess of the book value of the property  after
     the recognition of the real estate impairment.  As a result,
     the Partnership recognized a net gain of $128,498.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate - (Continued)

     In  August,  1995, the lessee of the two Rally's  properties
     filed  for  reorganization.  After reviewing  the  operating
     results  of the lessee, the Partnership agreed to amend  the
     Leases  of the two properties.  Effective December 1,  1995,
     the Partnership amended the Leases to reduce the annual base
     rent  from $47,498 and $48,392 to $15,000 for each property.
     The  Partnership could receive additional rent in the future
     equal  to 6.75% of the amount by which gross receipts exceed
     $275,000.   In 1997, the Leases, as amended, were  confirmed
     as  part of the reorganization plan.  The lessee has  agreed
     to  pay  all  pre-petition and post-petition  rents  due  of
     $75,775  and  the  Partnership's related administrative  and
     legal   expenses.   However,  due  to  the  uncertainty   of
     collection,  the Partnership has not accrued  any  of  these
     amounts for financial reporting purposes.
     
     As  of  December  31, 1997, based on an analysis  of  market
     conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value  of
     the  Rally's properties was approximately $270,000.  In  the
     fourth  quarter  of  1997, a charge to operations  for  real
     estate  impairment of $220,500 was recognized, which is  the
     difference  between the book value at December 31,  1997  of
     $490,500  and  the  estimated fair value of  $270,000.   The
     charge  was  recorded against the cost of the  building  and
     equipment.
     
     In February, 1996, the Partnership called a letter of credit
     for  $109,393  related  to  the Taco  Cabana  restaurant  in
     Brownsville,  Texas.  The Partnership applied the  funds  to
     satisfy  1996 rent income and real estate taxes  due  and  a
     portion of the real estate taxes due in 1997.  In 1997,  the
     Partnership  took possession of the property and  listed  it
     for  sale  or  re-lease.  The Partnership was  scheduled  to
     receive, but did not collect, $29,580 and $28,442 in rent in
     the  first  three  months  of 1998 and  1997,  respectively.
     These  amounts  were  not  accrued for  financial  reporting
     purposes.   While the property is being sold  or  re-leased,
     the  Partnership  is responsible for 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 Brownsville property was approximately $466,600.  In the
     fourth  quarter  of  1997, a charge to operations  for  real
     estate  impairment of $239,600 was recognized, which is  the
     difference  between the book value at December 31,  1997  of
     $706,200  and  the  estimated fair value of  $466,600.   The
     charge  was  recorded  against the  cost  of  the  land  and
     building.
     
     Through December 31, 1997, the Partnership sold 94.1709%  of
     the  Applebee's  restaurant  in  Destin,  Florida  in  seven
     separate  transactions  to  unrelated  third  parties.   The
     Partnership  received total net sale proceeds of  $1,413,627
     which  resulted in a total net gain of $481,379.  The  total
     cost  and  related accumulated depreciation of the interests
     sold  was  $1,053,565 and $121,317, respectively.   For  the
     three  months  ended  March  31,  1997,  the  net  gain  was
     $153,716.

     separate  transactions  to  unrelated  third  parties.   The
     Partnership  received total net sale proceeds of  $1,520,182
     which  resulted in a total net gain of $562,654.  The  total
     cost  and  related accumulated depreciation of the interests

     Through December 31, 1997, the Partnership sold 77.4842%  of
     its  interest  in  the  Tractor Supply Company  in  Bristol,
     Virginia  in seven separate transactions to unrelated  third
     parties.   The Partnership received total net sale  proceeds
     of  $1,189,572  which  resulted  in  a  total  net  gain  of
     $217,301.    The   total   cost  and   related   accumulated
     depreciation of the interests sold was $997,602 and $25,331,
     respectively.   For the three months ended March  31,  1997,
     the net gain was $72,607.
     
     Through December 31, 1997, the Partnership sold 26.0312%  of
     its   interest  in  the  Champps  Americana  restaurant   in
     Columbus,  Ohio in three separate transactions to  unrelated
     third  parties.   The Partnership received  total  net  sale
     proceeds of $807,777 which resulted in a total net  gain  of
     $151,139.    The   total   cost  and   related   accumulated
     depreciation of the interests sold was $667,813 and $11,175,
     respectively.   For the three months ended March  31,  1997,
     the net gain was $80,490.
     
     During  the  first  three months of  1997,  the  Partnership
     distributed $24,095 of the net sale proceeds to the  Limited
     and  General  Partners  as part of their  regular  quarterly
     distributions,  which  represented a return  of  capital  of
     $1.10 per Limited Partnership Unit.
     
     On  July  30, 1997, the Partnership purchased a Fuddrucker's
     restaurant  in  Thornton,  Colorado  for  $1,405,771.    The
     property  is  leased  to Fuddrucker's, Inc.  under  a  Lease
     Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual  rental
     payments of $148,387.
     
     On  December  23, 1997, the Partnership purchased  a  23.95%
     interest in a parcel of land in Troy, Michigan for $361,889.
     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 $25,332.  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  $116,617  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 $1,077,750.  After the construction is
     complete,  the  Lease Agreement will be amended  to  require
     annual  rental  payments  of  approximately  $113,000.   The
     remaining  interests in the property are owned by  AEI  Real
     Estate  Fund  XV Limited Partnership, AEI Real  Estate  Fund
     XVII  Limited Partnership, and AEI Net Lease Income & Growth
     Fund XIX Limited Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate - (Continued)

     In  January, 1998, the Partnership entered into an agreement
     to  purchase  a  45% interest in a Tumbleweed restaurant  in
     Chillicothe,  Ohio.   On  April 13,  1998,  the  Partnership
     purchased its share of the land for $216,915.  The  land  is
     leased  to  Tumbleweed, LLC (TLLC) under a  Lease  Agreement
     with  a  primary term of 15 years and annual rental payments
     of  $18,438.  Simultaneously with the purchase of the  land,
     the   Partnership  entered  into  a  Development   Financing
     Agreement under which the Partnership will advance funds  to
     TLLC for the construction of a Tumbleweed restaurant on  the
     site.   The Partnership's share of the total purchase price,
     including  the  cost  of  the land,  will  be  approximately
     $610,650.   After  the construction is complete,  the  Lease
     Agreement will be amended to require annual rental  payments
     of  approximately $62,600.  The remaining interests  in  the
     property are owned by the Individual General Partner and AEI
     Net  Lease  Income  &  Growth Fund XIX Limited  Partnership,
     affiliates of the Partnership.
     
     In April, 1998, the Partnership entered into an agreement to
     purchase a Tumbleweed restaurant in Columbus, Ohio.  On  May
     1,  1998,  the Partnership purchased the land for  $503,832.
     The  land is leased to TLLC under a Lease Agreement  with  a
     primary  term  of  15  years and annual rental  payments  of
     $42,826.  Simultaneously with the purchase of the land,  the
     Partnership  entered into a Development Financing  Agreement
     under  which the Partnership will advance funds to TLLC  for
     the  construction of a Tumbleweed restaurant  on  the  site.
     The  total  purchase price, including the cost of the  land,
     will be approximately $1,490,000.  After the construction is
     complete,  the  Lease Agreement will be amended  to  require
     annual rental payments of approximately $153,000.
     
     In April, 1998, the Partnership entered into an Agreement to
     purchase  an  Old  Country Buffet restaurant  in  Northlake,
     Illinois.    The   purchase  price  will  be   approximately
     $1,300,000.  The property will be leased to Alpha Group, LLC
     under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years  and
     annual rental payments of approximately $130,000.
     
     During  1997  and  the  first  three  months  of  1998,  the
     Partnership  incurred net costs of $142,956 related  to  the
     review  of potential property acquisitions.  Of these costs,
     $25,429  have  been  capitalized  and  allocated  to   land,
     building  and  equipment.  The remaining costs  of  $117,527
     have  been  capitalized  and will be allocated  to  property
     acquisitions in future periods.

(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.


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 $345,488  and  $363,249,
respectively.   During the same periods, the  Partnership  earned
investment income of $60,061 and $34,665, respectively.  In 1998,
rental  income  decreased  as  a result  of  the  property  sales
discussed  below.  The decrease in rental income  was  offset  by
additional rent received from two property acquisitions in  1997,
rent  increases  on  ten  properties, and  additional  investment
income earned on the net proceeds from the property sales.

        The  Partnership  owns a 4.1022% interest  in  a  Sizzler
restaurant in Cincinnati, Ohio, a 93.2478% interest in a  Sizzler
restaurant in Springboro, Ohio, and a 100% interest in a  Sizzler
restaurant   in  Fairfield,  Ohio.   In  November,  1993,   after
reviewing   the  lessee's  operating  results,  the   Partnership
determined  that  the  lessee would  be  unable  to  operate  the
restaurants  in  a manner capable of maximizing the  restaurants'
sales.   Consequently,  at the direction of  the  Partnership,  a
multi-unit   restaurant  operator  assumed   operation   of   the
restaurants while the Partnership reviewed the available options.
In  January,  1994  and  June, 1994, the Partnership  closed  the
restaurants  in  Cincinnati  and  Springboro,  respectively,  and
listed  them for sale or lease.  While the properties are vacant,
the  Partnership  is responsible for the real  estate  taxes  and
other costs required to maintain the properties.

       On July 15, 1994, the Partnership re-leased the Sizzler in
Fairfield  to  Fairfield Foods, Inc. (Fairfield)  under  a  Lease
Agreement  with  a  primary term of 20 years  and  annual  rental
payments based on a percentage of sales.  Fairfield was not  able
to profitably operate the restaurant and closed the restaurant.

        No  rents were collected from the Sizzler restaurants  in
the  first  three months of 1998 and 1997.  The total  amount  of
rent  not  collected  in 1998 and 1997 was $45,920  and  $98,695,
respectively, for the three properties.  These amounts  were  not
accrued for financial reporting purposes.

        On January 23, 1997, the Partnership sold its interest in
the  Cincinnati  restaurant  to an unrelated  third  party.   The
Partnership  received  net  sales  proceeds  of  $19,867,   which
resulted in a net loss of $31,700, which was recognized as a real
estate impairment in 1996.

        In  December,  1996, the Partnership, in order  to  avoid
additional  property  management expenses, decided  to  sell  the
Sizzler  properties in Springboro and Fairfield  rather  than  to
continue to attempt to re-lease the properties.  As a result, the
properties were reclassified on the balance sheet to Real  Estate
Held  for  Sale.   In  addition, based on an analysis  of  market
conditions  in  the area, it was determined that a  sale  of  the
properties   would  result  in  net  proceeds  of   approximately
$800,000.   The  Partnership's share of  the  proceeds  would  be
approximately $773,000.  A charge to operations for  real  estate
impairment  of  $1,654,600 ($693,500 for the Springboro  Sizzler,
and  $961,100  for the Fairfield Sizzler) was recognized  in  the
fourth  quarter  of  1996, which is the difference  between  book
value  at  December  31, 1996 of $2,427,600 ($1,066,500  for  the
Springboro Sizzler and $1,361,100 for the Fairfield Sizzler)  and
the   estimated  market  value  of  $773,000  ($373,000  for  the
Springboro Sizzler and $400,000 for the Fairfield Sizzler).   The
charge  was  recorded against the cost of the land, building  and
equipment.

        On  September 22, 1997, the Partnership sold the  Sizzler
restaurant  in Fairfield, Ohio to an unrelated third party.   The
Partnership received net sale proceeds of $528,476, which  is  in
excess of the book value of the property after the recognition of
the  real  estate  impairment.   As  a  result,  the  Partnership
recognized a net gain of $128,498.


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

        In August, 1995, the lessee of the two Rally's properties
filed  for reorganization.  After reviewing the operating results
of  the lessee, the Partnership agreed to amend the Leases of the
two  properties.   Effective December 1,  1995,  the  Partnership
amended  the  Leases to reduce the annual base rent from  $47,498
and  $48,392 to $15,000 for each property.  The Partnership could
receive  additional  rent in the future equal  to  6.75%  of  the
amount  by  which gross receipts exceed $275,000.  In  1997,  the
Leases,  as amended, were confirmed as part of the reorganization
plan.   The  lessee has agreed to pay all pre-petition and  post-
petition  rents  due  of  $75,775 and the  Partnership's  related
administrative  and  legal  expenses.   However,   due   to   the
uncertainty of collection, the Partnership has not accrued any of
these amounts for financial reporting purposes.

        As  of  December 31, 1997, based on an analysis of market
conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value  of  the
Rally's  properties was approximately $270,000.   In  the  fourth
quarter  of  1997,  a  charge  to  operations  for  real   estate
impairment  of  $220,500 was recognized, which is the  difference
between  the book value at December 31, 1997 of $490,500 and  the
estimated  fair  value  of  $270,000.  The  charge  was  recorded
against the cost of the building and equipment.

        In  February, 1996, the Partnership called  a  letter  of
credit  for  $109,393  related to the Taco Cabana  restaurant  in
Brownsville, Texas.  The Partnership applied the funds to satisfy
1996  rent income and real estate taxes due and a portion of  the
real  estate  taxes due in 1997.  In 1997, the  Partnership  took
possession  of the property and listed it for sale  or  re-lease.
The  Partnership was scheduled to receive, but did  not  collect,
$29,580 and $28,442 in rent in the first three months of 1998 and
1997, respectively.  These amounts were not accrued for financial
reporting  purposes.  While the property is  being  sold  or  re-
leased, the Partnership is responsible for 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
Brownsville property was approximately $466,600.  In  the  fourth
quarter  of  1997,  a  charge  to  operations  for  real   estate
impairment  of  $239,600 was recognized, which is the  difference
between  the book value at December 31, 1997 of $706,200 and  the
estimated  fair  value  of  $466,600.  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 $63,803 and $62,697, 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  $16,997 and $25,621, 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.  The  decrease
in  these expenses in 1998, when compared to 1997, is the  result
of  expenses incurred in 1997 related to the Sizzler and  Rally's
situations discussed above.

        As  of March 31, 1998, the Partnership's annualized  cash
distribution  rate  was  6.1%,  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.


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

        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 term 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        During  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1998,  the
Partnership's cash balances increased $167,912 as the Partnership
distributed  less  cash to the Partners than  it  generated  from
operating  activities.  Net cash provided by operating activities
decreased  from  $421,416  in 1997  to  $402,791  in  1998.   The
decrease  was  mainly  due  to  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 $1,553,191.  During the three  months  ended
March  31,  1998, the Partnership expended $93,755 to  invest  in
real  properties  (inclusive  of  acquisition  expenses)  as  the
Partnership reinvested cash generated from property sales.

        Through  December 31, 1997, the Partnership sold 94.1709%
of the Applebee's restaurant in Destin, Florida in seven separate
transactions   to  unrelated  third  parties.   The   Partnership
received total net sale proceeds of $1,413,627 which resulted  in
a  total  net  gain  of  $481,379.  The total  cost  and  related
accumulated depreciation of the interests sold was $1,053,565 and
$121,317,  respectively.  For the three months  ended  March  31,
1997, the net gain was $153,716.

        Through  December 31, 1997, the Partnership sold 90.6301%
of  a  Taco  Cabana  restaurant in San Antonio,  Texas  in  seven
separate   transactions   to  unrelated   third   parties.    The
Partnership received total net sale proceeds of $1,520,182  which
resulted  in  a total net gain of $562,654.  The total  cost  and
related  accumulated  depreciation  of  the  interests  sold  was
$1,043,983 and $86,455, respectively.  For the three months ended
March 31, 1997, the net gain was $69,649.

        Through  December 31, 1997, the Partnership sold 77.4842%
of  its  interest  in  the  Tractor Supply  Company  in  Bristol,
Virginia  in  seven  separate  transactions  to  unrelated  third
parties.   The  Partnership received total net sale  proceeds  of
$1,189,572  which resulted in a total net gain of $217,301.   The
total  cost and related accumulated depreciation of the interests
sold  was  $997,602  and $25,331, respectively.   For  the  three
months ended March 31, 1997, the net gain was $72,607.


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

        Through  December 31, 1997, the Partnership sold 26.0312%
of  its interest in the Champps Americana restaurant in Columbus,
Ohio  in  three separate transactions to unrelated third parties.
The  Partnership  received total net sale  proceeds  of  $807,777
which  resulted in a total net gain of $151,139.  The total  cost
and  related accumulated depreciation of the interests  sold  was
$667,813  and $11,175, respectively.  For the three months  ended
March 31, 1997, the net gain was $80,490.

        During  the  first three months of 1997, the  Partnership
distributed  $24,095 of the net sale proceeds to the Limited  and
General   Partners   as   part   of   their   regular   quarterly
distributions, which represented a return of capital of $1.10 per
Limited Partnership Unit.

       On July 30, 1997, the Partnership purchased a Fuddrucker's
restaurant in Thornton, Colorado for $1,405,771.  The property is
leased  to  Fuddrucker's, Inc. under a  Lease  Agreement  with  a
primary term of 20 years and annual rental payments of $148,387.

        On  December 23, 1997, the Partnership purchased a 23.95%
interest in a parcel of land in Troy, Michigan for $361,889.  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  $25,332.  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
$116,617  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 $1,077,750.  After the construction
is  complete,  the  Lease Agreement will be  amended  to  require
annual  rental payments of approximately $113,000.  The remaining
interests  in the property are owned by AEI Real Estate  Fund  XV
Limited   Partnership,  AEI  Real  Estate   Fund   XVII   Limited
Partnership, and AEI Net Lease Income & Growth Fund  XIX  Limited
Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership.

         In  January,  1998,  the  Partnership  entered  into  an
agreement  to purchase a 45% interest in a Tumbleweed  restaurant
in  Chillicothe,  Ohio.   On  April  13,  1998,  the  Partnership
purchased its share of the land for $216,915.  The land is leased
to  Tumbleweed, LLC (TLLC) under a Lease Agreement with a primary
term   of  15  years  and  annual  rental  payments  of  $18,438.
Simultaneously  with  the purchase of the land,  the  Partnership
entered  into a Development Financing Agreement under  which  the
Partnership will advance funds to TLLC for the construction of  a
Tumbleweed  restaurant on the site.  The Partnership's  share  of
the total purchase price, including the cost of the land, will be
approximately $610,650.  After the construction is complete,  the
Lease Agreement will be amended to require annual rental payments
of   approximately  $62,600.   The  remaining  interests  in  the
property are owned by the Individual General Partner and AEI  Net
Lease Income & Growth Fund XIX Limited Partnership, affiliates of
the Partnership.

        In April, 1998, the Partnership entered into an agreement
to purchase a Tumbleweed restaurant in Columbus, Ohio.  On May 1,
1998, the Partnership purchased the land for $503,832.  The  land
is  leased to TLLC under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of
15  years  and annual rental payments of $42,826.  Simultaneously
with  the  purchase of the land, the Partnership entered  into  a
Development Financing Agreement under which the Partnership  will
advance  funds  to  TLLC  for the construction  of  a  Tumbleweed
restaurant on the site.  The total purchase price, including  the
cost  of  the land, will be approximately $1,490,000.  After  the
construction is complete, the Lease Agreement will be amended  to
require annual rental payments of approximately $153,000.


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

        In April, 1998, the Partnership entered into an Agreement
to  purchase  an  Old  Country Buffet  restaurant  in  Northlake,
Illinois.   The purchase price will be approximately  $1,300,000.
The  property  will be leased to Alpha Group, LLC under  a  Lease
Agreement  with  a  primary term of 20 years  and  annual  rental
payments of approximately $130,000.

       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.   Prior  to  1998,
redemption payments were paid to redeeming Partners in the fourth
quarter  of  each  year.  Beginning in 1998, redemption  payments
will  be  paid to redeeming Partners on a quarterly  basis.   The
redemption  payments generally are funded with  cash  that  would
normally  be paid as part of the regular quarterly distributions.
As  a  result, total distributions and distributions payable have
fluctuated  from year to year due to cash used to fund redemption
payments.

        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  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.

       On April 1, 1998, six Limited Partners redeemed a total of
161.0  Partnership  Units for $128,961  in  accordance  with  the
Partnership  Agreement.   The Partnership  acquired  these  Units
using Net Cash Flow from operations.  In prior years, a total  of
sixty-eight Limited Partners redeemed 1,295.52 Partnership  Units
for  $1,028,771.  The redemptions increase the remaining  Limited
Partners' ownership interest 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.
                                

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

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

         The   foregoing  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, taxation  levels,
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:

<bullet>  Market  and economic conditions which affect the  value
          of  the  properties the Partnership owns and  the  cash
          from rental income such properties generate;
       
<bullet>  the  federal income tax consequences of rental  income,
