                                 CERTIFICATIONS

I, Bruce A. Provo, certify that:

     1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of DiVall Insured
          Income Properties 2 Limited Partnership;

     2.   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
          untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
          necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
          under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to
          the period covered by this quarterly report;

     3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
          information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all
          material respects the financial condition, results of operations and
          cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in
          this quarterly report;

     4.   I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls
          and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14)
          for the registrant and I have:

               a)   designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure
                    that material information relating to the registrant,
                    including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us
                    by others within those entities, particularly during the
                    period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;

               b)   evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
                    controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to
                    the filing date of this quarterly report (the "Evaluation
                    Date"); and

               c)   presented in this quarterly report my conclusions about the
                    effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures
                    based on my evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

     5.   I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation, to the
          registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board of
          directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):

               a)   all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of
                    internal controls which could adversely affect the
                    registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and
                    report financial data and have identified for the
                    registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in internal
                    controls; and

               b)   any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
                    or other employees who have a significant role in the
                    registrant's internal controls; and

     6.   I have indicated in this quarterly report whether or not there were
          significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that
          could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of
          our most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions with
          regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
