SCHEDULE 14D-9
     United Investors Income Properties hereby amends and supplements its Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 30, 2008 with respect to a tender offer by MPF Badger Acquisition Co., LLC; MPF DeWaay Fund 6, LLC; MPF DeWaay Premier Fund 4, LLC; MPF ePlanning Opportunity Fund, LP; MPF Senior Note Program II, LP; MP Acquisition Co. 3, LLC; MPF Flagship Fund 10, LLC; MPF DeWaay Premier Fund 2, LLC; MacKenzie Patterson Special Fund 7, LLC; MPF Special Fund 8, LLC; MPF Income Fund 24, LLC; MPF Flagship Fund 13, LLC; MPF DeWaay Fund 5, LLC; and MacKenzie Patterson Fuller, LP (collectively, the “Offerors”) to purchase all of the outstanding units of limited partnership interest (“Units”) of United Investors Income Properties, at a price of $45.00 per Unit in cash, less the amount of any distributions declared or made with respect to the Units between April 17, 2008 and May 18, 2008, or such other date to which the offer may be extended by the Offerors. The initial offer to purchase Units was being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase of the Offerors, dated as of April 17, 2008 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and a related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which were filed with the SEC on April 17, 2008. An amended offer to purchase Units, whereby the Offerors extended the expiration date of their offer through June 3, 2008, was made pursuant to a Supplemental Letter to Unit holders, dated May 19, 2008, a copy of which was filed with the SEC on May 19, 2008.
ITEM 3. PAST CONTACTS, TRANSACTIONS, NEGOTIATIONS AND AGREEMENTS.
     The Partnership has no employees and depends on the General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for payments to affiliates for services and for reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.
     Affiliates of the General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from both of the Partnership’s properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $18,000 and $16,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and approximately $69,000 and $59,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     An affiliate of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $12,000 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and approximately $50,000 and $40,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, prior to 2007, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, advanced funds to the Partnership. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, interest on advances, at the rate of prime plus 2%, was approximately $3,000, $8,000 and $3,000, respectively. The entire advance balance was repaid during the third quarter of 2007 with proceeds from the refinancing of the mortgage encumbering Bronson Place Apartments. At March 31, 2008 and

December 31, 2007, there were no advances or associated accrued interest due to AIMCO Properties, L.P. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P. although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     The Partnership insures its properties up to certain limits through coverage provided by Apartment Investment and Management Company (“AIMCO”), which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers’ compensation, property casualty, general liability and vehicle liability. The Partnership insures its properties above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $15,000 for hazard insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration. Additional charges will be incurred by the Partnership during 2008 as other insurance policies renew later in the year. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $27,000 and $25,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.
     In addition to its indirect ownership of the General Partner of the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 24,498 Units in the Partnership representing 40.12% of the outstanding Units at March 31, 2008. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. AIMCO or its affiliates may acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and Units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unit holders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 40.12% of the outstanding Units at March 31, 2008, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to influence all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

United Investors Real Estate, Inc.

Dear Limited Partner:
     We previously sent you a letter dated April 30, 2008 regarding an unsolicited tender offer to buy units of limited partnership interest (the “Units”) in United Income Properties (the “Partnership”) initiated by MPF Badger Acquisition Co., LLC; MPF DeWaay Fund 6, LLC; MPF DeWaay Premier Fund 4, LLC; MPF ePlanning Opportunity Fund, LP; MPF Senior Note Program II, LP; MP Acquisition Co. 3, LLC; MPF Flagship Fund 10, LLC; MPF DeWaay Premier Fund 2, LLC; MacKenzie Patterson Special Fund 7, LLC; MPF Special Fund 8, LLC; MPF Income Fund 24, LLC; MPF Flagship Fund 13, LLC; MPF DeWaay Fund 5, LLC; and MacKenzie Patterson Fuller, LP (collectively, the “MPF Group”). The MPF Group amended its initial offer and related Letter of Transmittal on May 19, 2008 to extend its offer through June 3, 2008.
     The Partnership, through its General Partner, is required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission to make a recommendation whether you should accept or reject this offer or to state that the Partnership is remaining neutral with respect to the offer. As stated in our previous letter, the General Partner is of the opinion that secondary market sales information is not a reliable measure of value in this instance because of the limited number of reported trades. Therefore, the General Partner is remaining neutral and does not express any opinion with respect to the MPF Group’s offer, primarily because the General Partner does not have a reliable indicator of the fair value of the Units.
     However, in addition to the matters set forth in our prior letter, we call your attention to the following consideration:
    In our initial letter we disclosed that Defoors Crossing Apartments, a 60-unit apartment complex located in Atlanta, Georgia, was under contract for sale to a third party at a purchase price of $4,022,000, subject to certain adjustments at closing. The General Partner estimated that the sale of Defoors Crossing Apartments would generate approximately $62.00 per Unit. Since the initial letter, the proposed purchaser has terminated the contract to purchase Defoors Crossing Apartments and although negotiations continue, no assurances can be given regarding the timing or amount of any sale or the amount of any distribution to limited partners, if at all.
     The General Partner urges each investor to carefully consider the foregoing information before tendering his or her Units to the MPF Group.
     Each limited partner should make its own decision as to whether or not it should tender or refrain from tendering its Units in an offer in light of its unique circumstances including (i) its investment objectives, (ii) its financial circumstances including the tolerance for risk and need

 


 

for liquidity, (iii) its views as to the Partnership’s prospects and outlook, (iv) its own analysis and review of all publicly available information about the Partnership, (v) other financial opportunities available to it, (vi) its own tax position and tax consequences, and (vii) other factors that the holder of Units may deem relevant to its decision. Under any circumstances, limited partners should be aware that a sale of their interests in the Partnership will have tax consequences that could be adverse.
     Please consult with your tax advisor about the impact of a sale on your own particular situation and the effect of any negative capital accounts.
     If you would like to discuss your Partnership’s performance in greater detail, please contact our Investor Relations Department at ISTC Corporation at (864) 239-1029 or at P.O. Box 2347, Greenville, SC 29602. Please be advised that the information contained in this letter reflects the extent of our advice with respect to this offer.
         
  Sincerely,
 
 
  United Investors Real Estate, Inc.    
  General Partner
