Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

VMS National Properties Joint Venture, an Illinois joint venture (the “Registrant”), owns Terrace Gardens Townhouses (“Terrace Gardens”), a 126-unit apartment complex located in Omaha, Nebraska. On December 4, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), the Registrant and two other partnerships (together the “Selling Partnerships”) that own three apartment complexes (together the “Properties” and individually a “Property”) with an aggregate of 642 units entered into a Purchase and Sale Contract (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a third party, Northview Realty Group, Inc., a Canadian corporation (the “Purchaser”), to sell the Properties to the Purchaser for a total sales price of $29,100,000, of which $7,200,000 represents the portion of the sales price allocated to Terrace Gardens. Each of the Selling Partnerships is affiliated with AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the managing general partner of the Registrant.

The following is a summary of the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, which summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit.

PURCHASE PRICE. The total purchase price is $29,100,000, of which $7,200,000 represents the portion of the purchase price allocated to Terrace Gardens, subject to certain prorations and adjustments at the closing. The Purchaser delivered an initial deposit of $291,500, of which the Registrant is allocated approximately $72,100.

FEASIBILITY PERIOD. The feasibility period is from the Effective Date of the Purchase Agreement to and including January 18, 2007. Upon termination of the feasibility period, the Purchaser will deliver an additional deposit of $291,500, of which the Registrant will be allocated approximately $72,100. If the Purchaser fails to notify the Selling Partnerships in writing of its intent to terminate the contract prior to the end of the feasibility period, the initial deposit and any subsequent deposits will be non-refundable.

CLOSING. The expected closing date of the transaction is February 28, 2007. The Selling Partnerships have the right to extend the closing until March 30, 2007, by delivering written notice to the Purchaser on or before 5 days prior to closing. If the closing is extended into March 2007, as a result of the Purchaser not funding the purchase price on February 28, 2007, then Purchaser shall be solely responsible to pay all interest for the month of March 2007 on the loan encumbering Terrace Gardens. The closing is also subject to customary closing conditions and deliveries and additionally, to the receipt of any necessary consents of the Registrant’s partners.

COSTS AND FEES. With respect to Terrace Gardens, the Purchaser will pay any mortgage assumption costs, the sales, use, gross receipts or similar taxes, recording costs, one-half of the base premium for the title policy and one-half of the customary closing costs of the escrow agent. The Registrant will pay the document or transfer tax, broker’s commission, one-half of the base premium for the title policy and one-half of the customary closing costs of the escrow agent.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Selling Partnerships and the Purchaser each made limited representations and warranties to the other.

RISK OF LOSS. In the event Terrace Gardens is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to closing, the transaction shall occur in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain arrangements

related to the application of insurance proceeds and the completion of repairs.

ASSIGNMENT. With the exception of an assignment to an affiliate of the Purchaser, the Purchase Agreement is not assignable by the Purchaser without first obtaining the prior written approval of the Selling Partnerships.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If the Purchaser defaults in its obligations to deliver when required any required deposits, the purchase price or any other specified deliveries, then the Purchaser will forfeit all deposits to the Selling Partnerships, and neither the Purchaser nor the Selling Partnerships will be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Properties. The Selling Partnerships expressly waive the remedies of specific performance and additional damages for any such defaults by the Purchaser.

If the Selling Partnerships, prior to the closing, default in their representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations then the Purchaser has the option of (i) seeking specific performance of each of the Selling Partnerships’ obligation to deliver the deed for such Selling Partnership’s Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or (ii) terminating the Purchase Agreement, receiving a return of its deposits, and recovering, as its sole recoverable damages its documented direct and actual out-of-pocket expenses and costs up to $20,000 per Property.
