LITIGATION SETTLEMENT OFFER

(AIMCO LOGO)

AIMCO PROPERTIES, L.P.
is offering to purchase any and all limited partnership units in

CONSOLIDATED CAPITAL INSTITUTIONAL PROPERTIES
FOR $239.13 PER UNIT IN CASH

This Litigation Settlement Offer is being made as part of a COURT APPROVED
SETTLEMENT of class and derivative litigation brought on behalf of limited
partners in your partnership and others. FINAL COURT APPROVAL OF THE SETTLEMENT,
WHICH REQUIRES THE MAKING OF THIS LITIGATION SETTLEMENT OFFER AS A CONDITION OF
SETTLEMENT, HAS BEEN OBTAINED. On August 12, 2003, an objector filed an appeal
of the court's order approving the settlement and is seeking to reverse or
vacate the Court's order and the judgment entered thereto. Although we reserve
our right to terminate or amend our offer if final court approval of the
settlement is reversed or vacated, we have nevertheless elected to proceed with
this offer under the terms of the settlement. Under the terms of the settlement,
the Court appointed American Appraisal Associates, Inc., as an independent
appraiser, to appraise your partnership's properties and we agreed to provide an
executive summary of the appraiser's report for each property owned by your
partnership, attached as Annex II. A complete copy of the appraiser's report
will be provided to you free of charge upon request. THE SETTLEMENT ALSO
INCLUDES THE CREATION OF A $9.9 MILLION SETTLEMENT FUND FOR MEMBERS OF THE
SETTLEMENT CLASS. AFTER DEDUCTING ATTORNEYS' FEES AND OTHER SETTLEMENT COSTS
(INCLUDING A PORTION OF THE COSTS OF THE APPRAISALS AND CERTAIN COSTS OF
ADMINISTRATION OF THE SETTLEMENT FUND), WE HAVE ALLOCATED THE REMAINING AMOUNT
IN THE SETTLEMENT FUND AMONG THE 44 REMAINING PARTNERSHIPS INVOLVED IN THE
SETTLEMENT, PRO RATA BASED ON PARTNERSHIP REVENUE FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER
31, 2002 ALLOCABLE TO UNITS HELD BY THE MEMBERS OF THE SETTLEMENT CLASS. YOUR
PRO RATA SHARE OF THE SETTLEMENT FUND IS $4.72, WHICH IS INCLUDED IN OUR OFFER
PRICE ABOVE FOR THOSE WHO TENDER.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, we will
accept any and all units validly tendered in response to our offer.

You will not pay any partnership transfer fees if you tender your units
pursuant to this offer. You will pay any other fees or costs, including any
transfer taxes.

Our offer price will be reduced for any distributions subsequently made or
declared by your partnership prior to the expiration of our offer.

Our offer and your withdrawal rights will expire at midnight, New York City
time, on May 14, 2004, unless we extend the deadline.

Neither the court nor counsel for the parties in the class and derivative
litigation make any recommendation regarding whether you should accept this
Litigation Settlement Offer. You are encouraged to carefully review this
Litigation Settlement Offer, the executive summary of the independent
appraiser's report (attached as Annex II) and any other information available to
you and to seek advice from your independent lawyer, tax advisor and/or
financial advisor with respect to your particular circumstances before deciding
whether or not to accept this Litigation Settlement Offer.

SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 5 OF THIS LITIGATION SETTLEMENT OFFER
FOR A DESCRIPTION OF RISK FACTORS THAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IN CONNECTION WITH
OUR OFFER, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

- If you want to tender your units in the offer, you must sign a letter of
transmittal in which you release us from all liability with respect to
claims that were brought or that could have been brought in the class and
derivative litigation, and assign to us your rights in any future claims.
If you requested exclusion from the settlement but tender your units, by
signing the letter of transmittal, you will release us from

(Continued on next page)

If you decide to accept our offer, you must complete and sign the enclosed
letter of transmittal in accordance
with the instructions thereto and mail or deliver the signed letter of
transmittal and any other required
documents to The Altman Group, Inc., which is acting as Information Agent in
connection with our offer, at
one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this Litigation Settlement
Offer. QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS FOR
ASSISTANCE OR FOR ADDITIONAL COPIES OF THIS LITIGATION SETTLEMENT OFFER, THE
LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR FOR A
COMPLETE COPY OF AN APPRAISAL OF ANY OF YOUR PARTNERSHIP'S PROPERTIES MAY ALSO
BE DIRECTED TO THE INFORMATION
AGENT AT (800) 467-0821.

any claims that you would otherwise have preserved by requesting
exclusion from the settlement class. If you did not request exclusion,
you will release any known or unknown claims arising out of the class and
derivative litigation if the judgment approving the settlement is
affirmed on appeal. By executing the enclosed letter of transmittal,
moreover, you will release those claims even if the judgment is reversed
or otherwise vacated on appeal.

- We determined our offer price without any arms-length negotiations, and
independently of the recent appraisals of your partnership's property (an
executive summary of each of which is attached as Annex II). Accordingly,
our offer price may not reflect the fair market value of your units. In
addition, the determination of our offer price has not been approved by
the court or counsel for the parties in the class and derivative
litigation.

- Upon a liquidation of your partnership, if the properties were sold at a
price equal to the value determined by the independent appraiser, we
estimate that your liquidation proceeds would be approximately $343.92
per unit, which is higher than our offer price of $239.13 per unit. In
order to understand the assumptions and methodology used to determine the
liquidation amount, please refer to "The Litigation Settlement
Offer -- Section 8. Valuation of Units -- Estimated Liquidation Proceeds
Based on Independent Appraisal."

- Your general partner and the property manager are affiliates of ours and,
therefore, your general partner has substantial conflicts of interest
with respect to our offer.

- We are making this offer with a view to making a profit and, therefore,
there is a conflict between our desire to purchase your units at a low
price and your desire to sell your units at a high price.

- Continuation of your partnership will result in our affiliates continuing
to receive management fees from your partnership. Such fees would not be
payable if your partnership were liquidated.

- If we do not acquire all of the outstanding units in your partnership, it
is possible that we may conduct a future offer at a higher price,
although we have no obligation or current intention to do so.

- For any units that we acquire from you, you will not receive any future
distributions from operating cash flow of your partnership or upon a sale
or refinancing of property owned by your partnership.

- The general partner makes no recommendation as to whether you should
tender your units.

NEITHER THE COURT NOR COUNSEL FOR THE PARTIES IN THE CLASS AND DERIVATIVE
LITIGATION MAKE ANY RECOMMENDATION REGARDING WHETHER YOU SHOULD ACCEPT THIS
LITIGATION SETTLEMENT OFFER. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO CAREFULLY REVIEW THIS
LITIGATION SETTLEMENT OFFER, THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE INDEPENDENT
APPRAISER'S REPORT AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO YOU AND TO SEEK THE
ADVICE OF YOUR INDEPENDENT LAWYER, TAX ADVISOR AND/OR FINANCIAL ADVISOR WITH
RESPECT TO YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO
ACCEPT THIS LITIGATION SETTLEMENT OFFER.

THIS LITIGATION SETTLEMENT OFFER IS BEING OFFERED TO ALL CURRENT
UNITHOLDERS WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE REQUESTED EXCLUSION FROM THE SETTLEMENT
CLASS. IF YOU REQUESTED EXCLUSION FROM THE SETTLEMENT CLASS BUT TENDER YOUR
UNITS, BY SIGNING THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, YOU WILL RELEASE US FROM CLAIMS
THAT YOU WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE PRESERVED BY REQUESTING EXCLUSION. IF YOU DID NOT
REQUEST EXCLUSION, YOU WILL RELEASE ANY KNOWN OR UNKNOWN CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF
THE CLASS AND DERIVATIVE LITIGATION IF THE JUDGMENT APPROVING THE SETTLEMENT IS
AFFIRMED ON APPEAL. BY EXECUTING THE ENCLOSED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, MOREOVER,
YOU WILL RELEASE THOSE CLAIMS EVEN IF THE JUDGMENT IS REVERSED OR OTHERWISE
VACATED ON APPEAL.

THE INFORMATION AGENT FOR THE OFFER IS:
