             regarding the general nature of his appraisals for EPIC.                 
             Mr. Lang is a licensed real estate appraiser in the State                
             of Texas and a senior resident associate (SRA) of the                    
             Appraisal Institute.  He appraised each of the subject                   
             eight properties at the time EA 84-III purchased it in                   
             1983.                                                                    
                  Mr. Lang's appraisals of the above single-family                    
             properties were made on FHLMC/FNMA forms, as required by                 
             EPIC's contract with the seller, U.S. Home.  Those forms                 
             state as follows:  "This appraisal is based upon the * * *               
             market value definition * * * stated in FHLMC Form 439                   
             (Rev. 10/78) and FNMA Form 1004B (Rev. 10/78)".  That                    
             definition of market value is as follows:                                

                  DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE:  The highest price in                   
                  terms of money which a property will bring, in a                    
                  competitive and open market under all conditions
