                                       - 124 -                                        
             condominium unit at 4107 Medical Drive on a retail basis.                
             The reason for this in the case of the single-family houses              
             was suggested in the memorandum of respondent's appraisers,              
             Messrs. Dalton and Ramos, quoted above, when they stated:                
             "Multiple sales of single-family houses were not plentiful               
             at the date of value and at the present date they are very               
             obscure."  In effect, it appears that there was not a                    
             market for multiple sales of single-family houses in 1982                
             and 1983 when the properties were purchased.                             
                  Furthermore, respondent used the retail value of the                
             single-family houses and the condominium unit at 4107                    
             Medical Drive in computing the percentages and arguing that              
             the aggregate nonrecourse debt exceeded the value of the                 
             properties by 39.40 percent in the case of EA 83-XII and                 
             19.53 percent in the case of EA 84-III.  Respondent does                 
             not argue that the single-family houses and the condominium              
             unit at 4107 Medical Drive should be valued on a wholesale               
             basis.  Thus, it appears that respondent agrees with                     
             petitioners that these properties should be valued on a                  
             retail basis.  Accordingly, we shall review the evidence                 
             in the record to determine the retail value of the single-               
             family houses and the condominium at 4107 Medical Drive.                 
                  The partnerships purchased a total of 26 single-family              
             houses and the condominium unit at 4107 Medical Drive.  As
