SECURITY AND ISSUER. This Amendment No. 9 to Statement on Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 9") is an amendment to, and complete restatement of, Schedule 13D and amendments thereto previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") relating to shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("TRII Common Stock") of Tarragon Realty Investors, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Issuer" or "TRII"), which has its principal executive offices located at 3100 Monticello Avenue, Suite 200, Dallas, Texas 75205.

Pursuant to such transaction, prior holders of shares of beneficial interest, no par value, of Vinland became holders of TRII Common Stock on a one-for-one exchange basis.

In addition, pursuant to the Advisor Acquisition Agreement, the closing of which is subject to the prior completion of all matters involving the Merger Agreement )except the filing of Articles of Merger in the State of Nevada), William S. Friedman is to enter into an employment agreement with TRII and TRA on terms mutually agreeable to TRII and Mr. Friedman for a specified term at a specified salary and pursuant to such arrangement TRII is to grant to William S. Friedman options to purchase 650,000 shares of TRII Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement between TRII and Mr. Friedman which will be in a form mutually acceptable to TRII and Mr. Friedman for a term of ten years covering (i) 250,000 shares of TRII Common Stock at an exercise price of $12 per share, (ii) 200,000 shares of TRII Common Stock at an exercise price of $15 per share, and (iii) 200,000 shares of TRII Common Stock at an exercise price of $18 per share. 5 12 The Reporting Persons are also the holders of certain shares of beneficial interest of NIRT which, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, if consummated, would result in the issuance of 1.97 shares of TRII Common Stock for each one share of beneficial interest of NIRT held as of the time of consummation of such merger.

Therefore, such Merger Agreement may be deemed to be a contract, arrangement, etc. among the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to securities of the Issuer. 147,000 shares of TRII Common Stock held by Lucy N. Friedman and 25,000 shares of TRII Common Stock held by Tarragon Capital Corporation have been pledged as collateral for bank loans. Certain other shares of TRII Common Stock may be deemed to be "collateral" for borrowings pursuant to margin or other account arrangements with bankers and brokerage firms relating to accounts of the Reporting Persons. Such arrangements with brokerage firms are standard arrangements involving margin securities of up to a specified percentage of the market value of the TRII Common Stock and bear interest at varying rates and contain only standard default and similar provisions, the operation of which should not give any other person immediate voting power or investment power over such securities. Except as set forth in the preceding paragraphs, the Reporting Persons do not have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finders fees, joint ventures, loan or options arrangements, puts or calls, guaranties of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies. 6 13 ITEM 7.
