Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

(1) Liquidity

As of September 30, 2002, Registrant had cash of
approximately $319,701. The Registrant expects that those funds plus
the cash generated from operations at each property will be sufficient
to fund the operating expenses of the properties. The Registrant is
not aware of any additional sources of liquidity.

As of September 30, 2002, Registrant had restricted cash
of $27,172 consisting primarily of funds held as security deposits,
replacement reserves and escrows for taxes and insurance. As a
consequence of the restrictions as to use, Registrant does not deem
these funds to be a source of liquidity.


2) Capital Resources

Any capital expenditures needed are generally replacement
items and are funded out of cash from operations. The Registrant is
not aware of any factors which would cause historical capital
expenditure levels not to be indicative of capital requirements in the
future and accordingly does not believe that it will have to commit
material resources to capital investment for the foreseeable future.

(3) Results of Operations

During the third quarter of 2002, Registrant incurred a
loss of $29,367 ($3.51 per limited partnership unit) compared to a
loss of $27,888 ($3.33 per limited partnership unit) for the same
period in 2001. For the first nine months of 2002, the Registrant
incurred a loss of $99,074 ($11.84 per limited partnership unit)
compared to a loss of $59,541 ($7.11 per limited partnership unit) for
the same period in 2001.

Rental income decreased $6,151 from $51,464 in the third
quarter of 2001 to $45,313 in the same period in 2002 and decreased
$3,616 from $152,096 for the first nine months of 2001 to $148,480 in
the same period in 2002. The decrease in rental income from the third
quarter of 2001, compared to the same period in 2002 is due to a
decrease in average occupancy at the Brass Works (99% to 90%) and
Locke Mill Plaza (93% to 62%). The decrease in rental income for the
first nine months of 2002 is due to a decrease in average occupancy at
the Brass Works (100% to 92%) and Locke Mill Plaza (88% to 78%).

Interest income decreased $708 from $2,109 in the third
quarter of 2001 to $1,401 in the same period in 2002 and decreased
$2,773 from $7,094 for the first nine months of 2001 to $4,321 in the
same period in 2002. The decrease in interest income for both the
third quarter and the first nine months of 2001, compared to the same
periods in 2002, is due to a decrease in money market interest rates.

Rental operations expense increased $5,878 from $28,696
in the third quarter of 2001 to $34,058 in the same period in 2002 and
increased $36,491 from $96,437 for the first nine months of 2001 to
$130,495 in the same period in 2002. The increase from the third
quarter of 2001, compared to the same period in 2002, is due to an
increase in maintenance expense, leasing commission expense and wages
and salaries expense at Locke Mill Plaza. The increase in maintenance
expense is due to the increase in apartment preparation expenses due
to the increase in turnover of apartment units. The increase in
leasing commission expense is due to the increase in turnover of
apartment units. The increase in wages and salaries is due to an
increase in payroll and related expenses. The increase from the first
nine months of 2001, compared to the same period in 2002, is due to an
increase in insurance expense and wages and salaries expense at Locke
Mill Plaza and an increase in insurance expense and leasing commission
expense, partially offset by a decrease in maintenance expense at the
Brass Works. The increase in wages and salaries expense is due to an
increase in payroll and related expenses. The increases in insurance
expense are due to an increase in insurance premiums. The increase in
leasing commission expense is due to an increase in turnover in
apartment units. The decrease in maintenance expense is due to the
decrease in exterminating and snow removal expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased $12,000
from $30,000 in the third quarter of 2001 to $18,000 in the same
period of 2002 and for the nine months decreased $6,000 from $54,000
in the nine months of 2001 to $48,000 in the same period of 2002. The
decrease in general and administrative expense from both the third
quarter and the nine months of 2001, compared to the same periods in
2002, is due to timing differences in which the accrual of the
Registrant's administration fees were recorded in 2002. As of year
end, twelve months of administration fees were fully accrued for 2001
and 2002.

Bad debt expense of $2,861 was incurred during the second
quarter of 2002 due to the write off of tenant accounts receivable
that were deemed uncollectible.

During the third quarter of 2002, the loss incurred at
the Registrant's two properties was approximately $8,000, compared to
income of approximately $4,000 for the same period in 2001. For the
first nine months of 2002, the Registrant incurred a loss of
approximately $20,000 compared to income of approximately $3,000 for
the same period in 2001.

In the third quarter of 2002, Registrant recognized
income of $8,000 at the Brass Works, including $13,000 of depreciation
expense, compared to income of $5,000 including $12,000 of
depreciation expense in the third quarter of 2001. The increase in net
income from the third quarter of 2001, compared to the same period in
2002, is due to a decrease in maintenance expense, partially offset by
an increase in leasing commission expense. The decrease in maintenance
expense is due to a decrease in maintenance service and alarm system
service. The increase in leasing commission expense is due to an
increase in turnover of apartment units.

In the first nine months of 2002, Registrant recognized
income of $3,000 at the Brass Works, including $38,000 of depreciation
expense, compared to income of $14,000 for the same period in 2001
including $36,000 of depreciation expense. The decrease in net income
from the first nine months of 2001, compared to the same period in
2002, is due to a decrease in rental income and an increase in bad
debt expense, insurance expense and leasing commission expense,
partially offset by a decrease in maintenance expense. The decrease in
rental income is due to a decrease in average occupancy (100% to 92%).
The increase in bad debt expense is due to the write off of tenant
accounts receivable that were deemed uncollectible. The increase in
insurance expense is due to an increase in insurance premiums. The
increase in leasing commission expense is due to an increase in
turnover of apartment units. The decrease in maintenance expense is
due to the decrease in exterminating and snow removal expenses.

In the third quarter of 2002, Registrant incurred a loss
of $16,000 at Locke Mill Plaza, including $7,000 of depreciation
expense, compared to break even including $7,000 of depreciation
expense in the third quarter of 2001. For the first nine months of
2002, Registrant incurred a loss of $23,000 including $21,000 of
depreciation expense, compared to a loss of $11,000 including $20,000
of depreciation expense for the same period in 2001. The increase in
loss from the third quarter of 2001, compared to the same period in
2002, is due to a decrease in rental income and an increase
maintenance expense, leasing commission expense and wages and salaries
expense. The decrease in rental income is due to a decrease in average
occupancy (93% to 62%). The increase in maintenance expense is due to
the increase in apartment preparation expenses due to the increase in
turnover of apartment units. The increase in commission expense is
due to the increase in turnover of apartment units. The increase in
wages and salaries expense is due to an increase in payroll and
related expenses. The increase in loss from the first nine months of
2001, compared to the same period in 2002, is due to a decrease in
rental income and an increase in insurance expense and wages and
salaries expense. The decrease in rental income is due to a decrease
in average occupancy (88% to 78%). The increase in insurance expense
is due to an increase in insurance premiums, and the increase in wages
and salaries is due to an increase in payroll and related expenses.






Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our managing partner's
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance
of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management
necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-
benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision of our managing partner's principal
executive officer and principal financial officer we have carried out
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our adopted disclosure controls
and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based upon that evaluation, our managing partner's president and
treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.

There have been no significant changes in our internal
controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter.
