                                         FINDINGS OF FACT                                              
                  Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.                             
            Certain other facts were deemed admitted pursuant to either Rule                           
            37(c)2 or Rule 90(c).3                                                                     
                  Petitioner resided in Reno, Nevada, at the time the petition                         
            was filed.                                                                                 
                  On or about March 6, 1986, petitioner lent $75,000 to 551                            
            Lytton Avenue Associates, a California limited partnership                                 
            (Partnership).  (We shall refer to that $75,000 loan as the                                
            Miller loan.)  At all relevant times, Philip Wire (Mr. Wire) and                           
            Barbara J. Turner (Ms. Turner) were general partners of Partner-                           
            ship.  At no time was petitioner a partner of Partnership.                                 
                  Partnership was obligated to pay petitioner a total of                               
            $82,500 on the due date of the Miller loan consisting of $75,000                           
            in principal and $7,500 in points.  In addition, the Miller loan                           


                  1(...continued)                                                                      
            resolution flows automatically from our resolution of the bad                              
            debt issue.                                                                                
                  2All Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice                          
            and Procedure.  All section references are to the Internal                                 
            Revenue Code (Code) in effect for the year at issue.                                       
                  3Pursuant to Rule 90(c), petitioner is deemed to have admit-                         
            ted, inter alia, that he made the loan involved here on or about                           
            Mar. 6, 1988.  However, the stipulation of facts filed in this                             
            case establishes that petitioner made that loan on or about Mar.                           
            6, 1986, and not on or about Mar. 6, 1988.  We therefore modify                            
            the deemed admission relating to the date on which petitioner                              
            made the loan in question to reflect the correct date.  See Rule                           
            90(f).
