5 [2] SUMMARY AEI FUND 24 AEI Income & Growth Fund 24 LLC is a limited liability company organized in November 2000. Although we have not commenced operations, we intend to use the proceeds from this offering to acquire a portfolio of income-producing, commercial properties. We will lease these properties under long-term "net" leases that will require our tenants to pay the operating costs of the properties. We will operate from the offices of our managers at 1300 Minnesota World Trade Center, 30 East Seventh Street, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101. We can be reached at (651) 227-7333 (toll-free 800-328-3519). Our objective is to acquire properties that provide: regular cash distributions of rents; stable performance from long-term leases with corporate tenants; growth in lease income through rent escalations; capital growth through appreciation in property values; and "passive" income for tax purposes that can be matched with passive losses from other investments. To achieve these objectives we may, from time to time, sell properties and reinvest the proceeds in replacement net leased properties. We cannot assure you that we will achieve these objectives. AEI Fund 24 is not a "tax shelter" and is not intended to shelter any of your taxable income from other sources. Our operating agreement requires that AEI Fund 24's existence terminate in 2051. It is the current intention of our managers, however, to liquidate our properties and dissolve AEI Fund 24 eight to twelve years after we complete property acquisitions. Investors may also dissolve AEI Fund 24 earlier by majority vote. RISKS An investment in our units involves a number of risks, including risks related to: your inability to evaluate properties prior to purchase; the total reliance you must place on our managers for our operations; your inability to exercise significant voting rights; substantial payments we will make to our managers; our inability to diversify if only the minimum amount of capital is raised;
SB-2/A7th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
6 the illiquidity of the units; the discount at which any repurchase of units may occur; and potential management conflicts of interest These and other risks are described under "Risk Factors" starting on page 6. PROPERTIES AND PROPERTY ACQUISITION Most of the properties we acquire will be leased to corporate tenants in the chain or franchised restaurant industry, although some properties may be in the childcare or single-tenant retail industries and there is no limitation on acquisition of properties in other industries. We will execute long-term leases with these commercial entities at, or prior to, the time we purchase the properties. We will acquire all properties for cash: we will not use any debt financing to acquire properties. If our managers believe it is advantageous in diversifying the properties we hold, or if we do not have adequate funds to acquire all of a property, we may acquire properties jointly with other real estate programs [3] sponsored by affiliates of our managers, provided that the other programs and acquisition terms meet the requirements described under the caption "Investment Objectives and Policies-Joint Venture Investments" of this prospectus. We expect that virtually all of the properties we acquire will be newly constructed, although we may acquire properties that have operating histories, and may assist in financing construction by advancing funds prior to completion. If we use construction financing, it will be limited to 30% of the offering proceeds. Although we did not own any properties when this prospectus was written, we will supplement this prospectus when we have identified any property we intend to purchase. THE UNITS Each unit of limited liability company interest represents a $1,000 equity interest in AEI Fund 24. Unlike profit and loss from a corporation, which are taxed at the corporate level, profits, gains, losses and tax deductions from AEI Fund 24 are designed to be passed directly through to the investors and taxed only once at the investor level. The rental income we generate will normally be treated as "passive income" for tax purposes.
SB-2/A8th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
7 We expect to generate non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses that we should be able to deduct over a period of approximately 39 years on a "straight line basis" for tax purposes. These deductions should allow us to distribute more cash in the early years than the income our investors are required to recognize, although this "deferred income" will likely be recognized in later years when we sell properties. There are risks to our ability to achieve these tax objectives described on page 30. As an investor and "limited member" of AEI Fund 24, you will have a different interest in our profits, losses and distributions than our managers. In addition, the cash you will receive from rents will be allocated and paid in proportions that are different than the cash you might receive from the sale or refinancing of our properties. Cash distributions will be made as follows: 1. After deducting operating expenses, rent and other operating income will be paid 97% to investors and 3% to managers. 2. After provision for reserves and operating expenses, cash from the sale of properties will be paid 99% to investors and 1% to managers. After our investors have received both (i) total cash distributions from property sales equal to their initial investment, plus (ii) a 7% annual, uncompounded return on their investment (whether from gains on property sales or rental income), 90% of the cash from the sale or refinancing of our properties will be paid to investors and 10% will be paid to managers. We will make distributions, of available cash from interest income, rents and proceeds of sale, quarterly and we anticipate that these distributions will commence the first full quarter after proceeds are released from escrow, which must occur before May , 2002. Because we expect that the interest income we earn on offering proceeds will be less than the rental income we earn on properties, we expect that distributions in the first few years of the Company's operations will be lower than the distributions after the proceeds are invested in properties. THE MANAGERS AND PRIOR PROGRAMS This investment program will be managed by AEI Fund Management XXI, Inc., a Minnesota corporation that has no full time employees. AEI Fund Management XXI, Inc. will contract for most of its management services with AEI Fund Management, Inc., an affiliated property management company. Robert P. Johnson, President, CEO sole director, and sole shareholder of AEI Fund Management XXI, Inc. and of AEI Fund Management, Inc., will also serve as special managing member and will be responsible for overseeing the corporate manger's activities.

8 AEI Fund Management, Inc. has a staff of 25 persons engaged in real estate syndication, acquisition and disposition transactions. It provides management services to thirteen publicly syndicated and two privately placed real estate programs that are affiliated with our managers and described in more detail under "Prior Performance" and in Exhibit B below. A separate entity is formed to manage each program to limit exposure of programs to issues that may affect other programs. Although our managers believe they have adequate staff, directly or through affiliated entities, to discharge their responsibilities to AEI Fund 24, they are not required by our operating agreement to devote any minimum amount of time to providing services to AEI Fund 24. The following chart illustrates the relationship between AEI Fund 24, our managers and affiliated entities that will provide services to AEI Fund 24: [CHART: Chart depicting organization of the Company and relationships with Managing and Special Members] [5] COMPENSATION TO THE MANAGERS In addition to paying our managers for their interests in the profits and losses as managing members of AEI Fund 24, we will reimburse our managers for the following services at their cost: 1. The organization and offering of units in AEI Fund 24 (estimated at $225,000 at minimum subscription level), almost all of which will be paid out to third parties. 2. The acquisition of properties (estimated at $45,000 at the minimum subscription level). 3. The administration of Fund 24, including management, leasing, releasing and sale of properties (estimated at $75,000 for first 12 months at the minimum subscription level). There are limits to the amount we pay to our managers for these reimbursements. The total payments for organization, offering the Units and acquiring properties (referred to as "front-end fees"), as well as amounts for providing administrative services to AEI Fund 24, are limited to the manager's cost and to what would be paid an unaffiliated third party. In addition, the amounts we pay for these front-end fees, plus the amount we pay to the managers for overhead and for the costs of persons that control the managers, cannot exceed the following: 20% of subscription capital raised, plus 10% of cash flow from operations less the interest in cash flow we pay our managers, plus 5% of cash flow from properties managed by the manager, plus
SB-2/A10th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
9 3% of the sales price of properties if the managers provide sales services. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Because of the affiliation between our managers, AEI Securties Inc., AEI Fund Management, Inc. and the various private and public programs that these persons and entities have formed and managed, our managers will operate under a number of conflicts of interest, arising out of: The allocation of their work time between AEI Fund 24 and other programs. The absence of arms length negotiation of joint venture arrangements. Potential competition with affiliated programs for properties to be purchased. The common ownership of AEI Fund 24 and AEI Securities and the absence of an independent "due diligence" investigation by our dealer manager. Reimbursement payments our managers receive, regardless of our profitability. RISK FACTORS GENERAL RISKS YOU WILL BE RELYING ON THE MANAGERS TO SELECT PROPERTIES AND MIGHT NOT LIKE THE PROPERTIES THEY SELECT. When this prospectus was printed, we had not selected any properties. It is not likely that you will be able to evaluate properties before they are purchased. Although we will supplement this prospectus when we believe that a property will be acquired, you must rely upon the ability of our managers to choose properties. We cannot assure you that the properties our managers select will be favorable investments. YOU WILL NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO A RETURN OF YOUR INVESTMENT IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE PROPERTIES PURCHASED. [6] You will not have a right to withdraw from Fund 24 or to receive a return of your investment if you do not like the properties our managers purchase. We will have a limited unit repurchase program, but that program will not necessarily return your entire investment.
SB-2/A11th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
10 YOU WILL HAVE LITTLE CONTROL OVER OPERATIONS. Except for limited voting rights, you will have no control over our management and must rely almost exclusively on the managers. Our managers have complete authority to make decisions regarding our day-to-day operations. The managers may take actions with which you disagree. You will not have any right to object to most management decisions unless the managers breach their duties and will only be able to remove the managers by majority vote of investors or in other limited instances. Our investors will not be able to amend our operating agreement in ways that adversely affect our managers without their consent. THERE WILL NOT BE A MARKET FOR YOUR UNITS AND THERE WILL BE RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON THEIR TRANSFER. To avoid being taxed as a corporation, we are required to place significant restrictions on the transfer of units. That means that you will be required to receive approval from the managers before reselling or transferring your units. The managers are required to refuse a transfer when it would adversely affect our tax status. We will also require as a condition to the transfer of any units that you be fully apprised by the purchaser of the apparent value of your units, including the most recent redemption price. We will require you to confirm your understanding of this value by notifying us in writing. If the purchaser does not have this information, we will provide it to you. Our operating agreement provides that, if you agree to sell or transfer your units before this information is provided to you, the transfer agreement is void. Our operating agreement also provides that you must notify us when you agree to sell your units and that AEI Fund 24 will have a right to purchase your units at the same price by notifying you within 15 days. Because of these requirements, there will not be a public market for your units, you may not be able to sell them at the time you desire, and any sale may be at a substantial discount. ALTHOUGH WE WILL MAINTAIN A REPURCHASE PROGRAM, OUR ABILITY TO REPURCHASE UNITS WILL BE LIMITED BY TAX LAW AND BY OUR CASH NEEDS, AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO OUR MANAGERS' DETERMINATION THAT THE REPURCHASE WILL NOT IMPAIR OUR OPERATING CASH.
SB-2/A12th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
11 Although we will maintain a unit repurchase plan starting in April,2004, the amount of repurchases we may make is limited by tax law, by the provisions of our operating agreement and by our operating cash needs as assessed by our managers.Our operating agreement limits aggregate repurchases in any year to two percent of the units that are outstanding at the beginning of the year. Our manager will also be able to exercise its discretion to make no purchases if it would impair operating capital. Further, even if repurchases are made, they will be at a discount from asset value and asset value will be determined by our managers. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our repurchase program will provide you with an opportunity to sell your units, or that if it does, you will obtain full value for the units. YOU WILL NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO A RETURN OF YOUR CAPITAL PRIOR TO THE TERMINATION OF THE PROGRAM. Although we intend to dissolve earlier, we are not required to dissolve until 2051 unless you and a majority of the other investors vote to have us dissolve earlier. You will not have a right to redeem your units until we are dissolved. Although we will have a unit repurchase program, that program is limited, provides for discounts that may not provide you with full value for your investment, may be periodically suspended at the discretion of our managers, and is not available if there is not adequate capital to pay for repurchases. THE RATE OF DISTRIBUTIONS WE MAKE WILL VARY AND DEPEND UPON THE TIMING OF OUR PROPERTY PURCHASES AND SALES. [7] Although we intend to make distributions to investors quarterly,the amount we distribute will depend on the amount of cash flow from operations we generate and whether we have distributable proceeds from poperties we have sold. We cannot assure you that we will always have adequate cash flow from either source to cover expenses and also be in a position to make distributions. In the first few years of our operations, it is less likely that we will have proceeds from sale of our properties and our distributions will be primarily from rents and interest earned on temporary investment of offering proceeds. We will also not receive rental income until after we have purchased properties and a larger portion of our cash flow during the first few years will be from interest income. Because we expect the rate of interest we earn will be less than the rental rates we receive,distributions in the first years of operations will likely be less than distributions in later years of operations.
SB-2/A13th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
12 WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DIVERSIFY OUR INVESTMENTS AND THE LACK OF DIVERSIFICATION COULD INCREASE THE RISK THAT WE WILL NOT ACCOMPLISH ALL OF OUR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES. If we raise only $1,500,000, we may purchase only one property and the proportion of our capital spent on organizational and offering costs will be higher. While we intend to diversify our investments, we are under no obligation to do so and may invest in a single property. If we have only one property, or a limited number of properties, our operations will be subject to the increased risks of factors affecting those properties. PENNSYLVANIA INVESTORS: Because the minimum is less than $2,400,000, you are cautioned to carefully evaluate our ability to accomplish our objectives and to ask about the current amount of subscriptions before you invest. WE MAY BE FORCED TO DISSOLVE IF BOTH MANAGERS DIE OR WITHDRAW. If both our managers die, are removed, withdraw, or are declared bankrupt, AEI Fund 24 may be required to dissolve early. If we are forced to dissolve early, we might be required to sell our properties at disadvantageous prices. We will not carry insurance on the life of Robert Johnson, the special managing member and president of our manager. WE ARE CURRENTLY DEPENDENT ON THE KEY PERSONNEL OF OUR MANAGERS AND THE LOSS OF THEIR SERVICES, AND PARTICULARLY THE SERVICES OF ROBERT P. JOHNSON, AND MARK E. LARSON WOULD HAVE A DETRIMENTAL AFFECT ON AEI FUND 24. Our success depends to a significant extent on the continued service of the officers of our managers and their affiliates. The departure of those officers, particularly of Robert P. Johnson, our special managing member and the CEO and President of our managing member, or Mark E. Larson the Chief Financial Officer of our Managing Member, could materially adversely affect our operations. We do not maintain, and our managers do not maintain for our benefit, employment agreements with or key man insurance on Mr. Johnson or Mr. Larson. WE ARE REQUIRED TO INDEMNIFY OUR MANAGERS FOR THEIR GOOD FAITH ACTIONS AND THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION MAY CAUSE ANY LIABILITY THEY INCUR TO BE PAID BY AEI FUND 24. Under our operating agreement, our managers are not liable to us for any act or omission that they take in good faith and that they believe is in the best interest of AEI Fund 24, except for acts of negligence or misconduct. Under certain circumstances our managers will be entitled to indemnification from us for losses they incur in defending actions arising out of their position as our managers.
SB-2/A14th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 14th
13 REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT RISKS WE MIGHT NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN ACHIEVING OUR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES IF THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE ECONOMIC AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT AFFECTING REAL ESTATE. [8] Our investments in commercial properties will be subject to risks related to national economic conditions, changes in the investment climate for real estate, changes in local market conditions, changes in interest rates, changes in real estate tax rates, governmental rules and fiscal policies, and other factors beyond the control of our managers. Changes in these economic and regulatory factors could cause the value of the properties we hold to decline, cause some of our tenants to default on their lease obligations, reduce the tax benefits we provide to our investors, or otherwise render some of the ways we do business unattractive. WE FACE COMPETITION FOR PURCHASE AND FINANCING OF PROPERTIES FROM ENTITIES WITH SUBSTANTIALLY MORE CAPITAL AT THEIR DISPOSAL, SUCH AS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS, AS WELL AS FROM TRADITIONAL FINANCING SOURCES, THAT MAY CAUSE US TO HAVE DIFFICULTY FINDING PROPERTIES THAT GENERATE FAVORABLE RETURNS. The rental rates that we are able to receive on the properties we purchase depend substantially on the presence of competition from other property purchasers and to a certain extent on the availability of financing at similar rates that allow a tenant to own the property. The availability of these alternative purchasers or sources of financing at lower rates has periodically caused competition with affiliated programs for attractive properties and caused reduction in market rental rates, both of which may adversely effect the performance of a real estate program. IF WE HAVE DIFFICULTY FINDING ATTRACTIVE PROPERTIES AND WE ARE DELAYED IN INVESTING THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING, IT IS LIKELY THAT THE RETURNS TO OUR INVESTORS WILL BE REDUCED. The proceeds from this offering that we invest at money market rates will generally produce less income than proceeds invested in properties. Accordingly, to the extent we are delayed in investing those proceeds in properties, the overall return to AEI Fund 24 may be reduced. DEFAULTS BY TENANTS MAY INTERRUPT CASH FLOW OR CAUSE A DECLINE IN A PROPERTY'S VALUE.
SB-2/A15th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 15th
14 If a tenant defaults on its lease, we cannot assure you that we will be able to find a new tenant for the vacant property who will pay the same rental rate or that we will be able to sell the property without incurring a loss. If a tenant files for bankruptcy, we might not be able to quickly recover the property from the bankruptcy trustee. Because we probably could not obtain a new tenant while a property is held by a trustee, the property might not generate rent that covers our expenses associated with the property during this period. SOME PROPERTIES MAY BE SUITABLE FOR ONLY ONE USE AND MAY BE COSTLY TO REFURBISH IF A LEASE IS TERMINATED. Most of the properties we buy will be designed for a particular tenant. If we own a property when the lease terminates and the tenant does not renew, or if the tenant defaults on its lease, the property might not be marketable without substantial capital improvements. Improvements could require the use of cash that would otherwise be distributed to you as an investor. Attempting to sell the property without improvements would also likely result in a lower sales price. WE COULD LOSE MONEY ON CONSTRUCTION LOANS IF A TENANT DEFAULTS OR FOR OTHER REASONS. We intend to advance some funds to some tenants prior to acquisition of a property to assist in financing construction. This type of "construction lending" can be risky because cost overruns, nonperforming contractors, changes in construction codes and changes in cost can occur during construction that can cause default on the construction loan. If a defaults occurs, we might be required to foreclose on the mortgage. During a period of redemption after foreclosure we would not be able to sell the property and the property would likely not produce income. If we acquire the property through foreclosure, we might not be able to resell the property at a price equal to the principal amount of the loan. If the property is [9] only partially complete at the time we foreclose, we may also need to pay for its completion to enhance its sale. WE CAN REINVEST PROCEEDS FROM SALES OF PROPERTIES IN NEW PROPERTIES WITHOUT YOUR APPROVAL.
SB-2/A16th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th
15 We may, from time to time, sell properties and reinvest the proceeds in new net leased properties rather than distributing all the proceeds to you. We intend, however, to distribute to investors any net cash gain representing the difference between the sale price and the purchase price of properties. You will not have the right to receive cash when we sell properties and must rely on the ability of our managers to find replacement properties in which to reinvest the proceeds. Upon the final sale of all our properties, if we provide financing to purchasers, our liquidation and the distribution of cash to you could be delayed until such financing is fully collected. THE INSURANCE WE PURCHASE FOR OUR PROPERTIES MIGHT NOT BE ADEQUATE TO COVER LOSSES WE INCUR. Our managers will arrange for comprehensive insurance coverage on our properties. Some catastrophic losses may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. If a disaster occurs, we could suffer a complete loss of capital invested in, and any profits expected from, the affected properties. If uninsured damages to a property occur and we do not have adequate cash to fund repairs, we would likely be forced to sell the property at a loss or to borrow capital to fund the repairs and would mortgage the property to secure the borrowing. CONFLICT OF INTEREST RISKS We will not have any employees and will be dependent upon AEI Fund Management, Inc. for most of the services required for our operations. Robert P. Johnson, our special managing member, is also the President, CEO, sole director and sole shareholder of our managing member, the President, CEO sole director and sole shareholder of AEI Fund Management, Inc., and the President, CEO, sole director and sole shareholder of AEI Securities, Inc. Our investors will not have any interest in any of these entities and will not be in a position to control their activities. The interlocking interests of our managers and affiliated entities create a number of conflicts of interest that are described below under the caption "Conflicts of Interest," including the following. OUR MANAGERS AND THE SERVICE ENTITIES WITH WHICH THEY CONTRACT WILL PROVIDE SIMILAR SERVICES TO A NUMBER OF AFFILIATED PROGRAMS THAT MAY IMPAIR THEIR ABILITY TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO US. AEI Fund Management provides services to 13 similar publicly syndicated and two privately syndicated affiliated programs, many of which have been operating for a number of years. These other programs acquire, operate and dispose of commercial properties. The time devoted by our managers and AEI Fund Management on the activities of these other entities may conflict with the time required to operate AEI Fund 24. Our Operating Agreement does not require our managers to devote a minimum amount of time to provide services to AEI Fund 24.

16 WE MAY BE IN COMPETITION WITH OTHER AFFILIATED REAL ESTATE PROGRAMS FOR THE PURCHASE OR SALE OF PROPERTIES. AEI Fund 24 may have cash available for investment in properties at the same time as another affiliated program. Most of these affiliated programs have investment objectives that are similar or identical to the objectives of AEI Fund 24. Because our managers and affiliates will make property purchase decisions for multiple programs, there may be conflicts of interest as to which program should acquire a property. Although the managers have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of AEI Fund 24, they have a similar obligation with respect to the affiliated programs. Therefore, we cannot assure you that AEI Fund 24 will always be in the position of purchasing the most favorable properties that are made available to our managers. [10] IF WE PURCHASE PROPERTIES JOINTLY WITH ANOTHER AFFILIATED PROGRAM, CONFLICTS MAY ARISE IN DECISIONS REGARDING THE OPERATION OR SALE OF THE PROPERTY. If we purchase a property jointly with another affiliated program, it is likely that all of the decisions relating to the property will affect both programs. Nevertheless, some operating decisions, such as the term of leases affecting the property or the timing of the sale of a property, may affect one fund differently than another. Our managers will be subject to conflicts of interest in making these decisions. OUR MANAGERS OR THEIR AFFILIATES MAY PURCHASE UNITS FROM US OR FROM OTHER INVESTORS AND THEIR PURCHASES MAY BE AT PRICES THAT ARE LESS THAN THE ASSET VALUE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE UNITS. There are no restrictions, other than tax restrictions, on the ability of our managers or their affiliates to purchase units. Although there will be no trading market for the units, the managers may be in a position to purchase units from other investors at prices that are below the prices we are selling them in this offering and below our asset value per unit. AEI SECURITIES, INC., THE DEALER MANAGER THAT WILL COORDINATE THE SALE OF THE UNITS AND PERFORM THE DEALER MANAGER'S "DUE DILIGENCE" INVESTIGATION, IS AN AFFILIATE OF OUR MANAGERS. The dealer manager of an offering of securities such as our units is obligated to perform a "due diligence" investigation to confirm the accuracy of the statements made in offering documents. In the case of AEI Fund 24, the dealer manager is an affiliated entity. WE WILL MAKE PAYMENTS TO OUR MANAGERS FOR THEIR SERVICES WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE PROFITABLE.

17 The operating agreement that governs our operations requires us to make payments to our managers for the services they provide whether or not we are profitable. Although the managers are required to act in a manner that is in our best interests, these payments may create conflicts in how the managers deal with us. WE ARE NOT PROVIDING YOU WITH SEPARATE LEGAL OR ACCOUNTING REPRESENTATION. AEI Fund 24, our investors and our managers are not represented by separate counsel. Although our counsel has given the tax opinion referenced in the Tax Matters section of this prospectus, and an opinion that there is legal authority to issue the units, our counsel and accountants have not been retained, and will not be available, to provide other legal counsel or tax advice to individual investors. FEDERAL INCOME TAX RISKS OUR OPERATIONS COULD AFFECT THE PROPRIETY OF ALLOCATIONS AND CAUSE ADDITIONAL TAX AND PENALTIES. Each investor will be entitled to deduct his or her share of any tax losses and will report his or her share of any income and gain on the investor's tax return. Whether these allocations will be honored by the IRS depends on a number of facts related to our future operations and particularly whether our investors, as limited members of AEI fund 24, will have positive balances in their capital accounts throughout the life of AEI Fund 24. Our counsel has rendered a qualified opinion that, as long as positive balances are maintained, it is more likely than not that the allocations will be honored. If these allocations were not honored by the IRS, a change in the tax treatment of income, gain, loss and deduction from AEI Fund 24 could occur and, on audit, each investor could be forced to pay taxes or penalties, or both. THE TIMING OF TAX DEDUCTIONS COULD BE CHALLENGED BASED ON THE ALLOCATION OF "BASIS" AMONG PROPERTIES AND INVESTORS COULD BE SUBJECTED TO INCREASED TAX. The allocations by our managers of the purchase price of properties among buildings, personal property, and the underlying land will affect the amount of deductions we may take because some of these items are depreciable and some [11] are not. Because properties have not been purchased, our counsel has not rendered an opinion on whether the allocation of purchase price, the rate of depreciation or the timing of deductions is proper. If the IRS successfully challenged these allocations, investors could lose a portion of the deductions and be subject to increased taxable income in the early years of operations.
SB-2/A19th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 19th
18 THE RESALE OF PROPERTIES COULD CAUSE GAINS TO BE TAXED AS ORDINARY INCOME. If we were characterized as a "dealer" in real estate when properties are sold, then gain or loss on sales will be considered ordinary income or loss. Because our character as a dealer in real estate is dependent on future events and the timing of property purchases and sales, our counsel has not rendered an opinion on this issue. Because ordinary income is, in most cases, taxed at higher rates than capital gain, if we were characterized as a dealer the taxes you are required to pay on the income, if any, we generate could increase. THE STRUCTURE OF THE PURCHASE AND LEASE TRANSACTIONS OF AEI FUND 24 COULD CAUSE LOSS OF SOME DEPRECIATION AND OTHER DEDUCTIONS. Sale leaseback transactions in which the landlord provides certain options to the seller/lessee, such as a purchase option at a fixed price, could cause the IRS to conclude the transaction is not a true lease. If this were to occur, we would not be able to use some of the deductions we anticipate and more taxable income would be recognized during operation of a property. INCORRECT ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES AMONG START-UP, ORGANIZATION AND SYNDICATION COULD CAUSE MORE TAXABLE INCOME. Our managers will allocate expenses during our early stages of operation to start-up, organization, syndication and acquisition expenses for purposes of the deduction or capitalization of such expenses. These allocations cannot be made until the expenses are incurred and, therefore, our counsel has not rendered an opinion as to their propriety. If the IRS determined that the allocations were improper, we could lose some deductions and our investors would recognize more income during the early stages of the operation of properties. WHO MAY INVEST To purchase units you must represent in the subscription agreement attached as Exhibit D that you have received this prospectus and that you have either: A net worth (exclusive of homes, home furnishings and automobiles) of at least $45,000 and an annual gross income of at least $45,000; or Irrespective of annual gross income, a net worth of at least $150,000 determined with the same exclusions.

19 If you are purchasing through a trust, IRA or other fiduciary account, these standards must be met by the beneficiary, the trust or other fiduciary account itself, or by the trust donor or grantor if they are a fiduciary and directly or indirectly supply the funds for the purchase. You will be required to purchase a minimum of two and one- half units ($2,500) unless you are investing through an IRA or other tax-qualified plan. The minimum investment for IRAs and other tax-qualified plans is two units ($2,000), provided that the person who established the account or plan meets the standards for an individual investor. An investment in AEI Fund 24 will not create an IRA or other tax-qualified plan for any investor. [12] Because of the lack of a public market and the restrictions on resale of the units, and the tax characteristics of an investment in the units, you should not purchase units unless you do not need liquidity, are willing to make a long-term investment and have income that allows you to take advantage of the tax characteristics of AEI Fund 24. Investment firms that participate in the distribution of this offering and solicit orders for units are required to make every reasonable effort to determine that the purchase is appropriate for each investor. In addition to net worth and income standards, the investment firms are required to determine: whether you can reasonably benefit from an investment in the units based on your investment objectives, your ability to bear the risk of the investment, and your understanding of the risks of the investment. [13] They must also determine whether you understand: the lack of liquidity of the units, the restrictions on transferability of the units, the background and qualifications of our managers, and the tax consequences of the investment. Potential investors who are residents of Iowa, Maine, Missouri or North Carolina should read Exhibit C for suitability requirements particular to their state.

20 In addition to other considerations, trustees and custodians of tax-qualified plans should consider the diversification requirements of ERISA in light of the nature of an investment in, and the compensation structure of, the investment and the potential lack of liquidity of the units. The prudence of a particular investment must be determined by the responsible fiduciary taking into account all the facts and circumstances of the tax-qualified retirement plan and the investment. CAPITALIZATION The capitalization of AEI Fund 24 at December 31 , 2000, and after the issuance and sale of the minimum of 1,500 units is as follows: After Sale of Title of Class 1,500 Units Managers' Capital $ 1,000 $ 1,000 Investors' Capital 1,500,000 Less Offering Expenses (225,000) --------- ----------- Total Captial $ 1,000 $ 1,275,000 ESTIMATED USE OF PROCEEDS We expect to have approximately $1,275,000 available for investment in properties and reserves if $1,500,000 is raised and $43,650,000 if $50,000,000 is raised. The following table shows how we expect to use these proceeds. The items listed below as [13] "other offering expenses," which consist of expenses incurred by our managers and the dealer managers in preparing offering documents and coordinating the sale of the units, and acquisition expenses, which consist primarily of payments to third parties for professional work and reimbursements to our managers for their costs of investigating and completing purchases, cannot be precisely calculated and could vary materially from the amounts shown. Minimum Maximum (1,500 Units) (50,000 Units) Dollars Percent Dollars Percent Gross Offering Proceeds $ 1,500,000 100.0% $50,000,000 100.0% Less Offering Expenses: Selling Commissions and Nonaccountable Expenses (150,000) 10.0% (5,000,000) 10.0% Other Offering Expenses (75,000) 5.0% (1,350,000) 2.70% ----------- ---------- ----------- ----------

We will hold the proceeds of the offering in trust for the benefit of the purchasers of units and use them only for the purposes set forth above. We will continue to offer and sell units for 12 months after the date of this prospectus. At the election of our managers, we may offer units during a second 12 months. We will not commit to invest more money in properties than we raise through the sale of units. Accordingly, our managers believe that we will have adequate capital to fund our operation for the first 24 months of operation. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AEI Fund 24 will acquire only commercial properties. Most of the properties will be leased to a single-tenant under a "net" lease that requires the tenant to pay operating expenses of the property, such as taxes, maintenance and insurance. We may also sell properties from time to time and purchase replacement properties when our managers believe conditions are favorable and that we can profit from this type of sale and reinvestment. We may commit to purchase properties when construction is completed either at agreed prices or subject to pricing formulas. ACQUISITION OF PROPERTIES We will not purchase or lease any property from, or sell or lease any property to, our managers or their affiliates. We may, however, purchase property that our managers or their affiliates purchased in their own name to help us acquire the property. If we do, we will purchase the property from our managers or affiliate at a price no greater than the price they paid, plus acquisition and holding expenses. Although we do not intend [14]
SB-2/A23rd Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 23rd
22 to acquire any unimproved or undeveloped properties, or to participate in the development of any properties, we may acquire raw land prior to the building of improvements and may advance funds or make loans in connection with the construction of properties which we intend to acquire. We will obtain an independent appraisal of the fair market value of each property we acquire. Nevertheless, our managers will rely on their own analysis, and not on the appraisals, in determining whether to acquire a particular property. Copies of appraisals will be retained at our offices for at least five years and will be available for inspection and duplication by any investor. Prior to the acquisition of a property, we will be provided with evidence satisfactory to our managers that we will acquire marketable title to the property, subject only to liens and encumbrances such as liens for tax assessments, utility easements, and other encumbrances typical in commercial transactions. Such evidence may include a policy of title insurance, an opinion of counsel or such other evidence as is customary in the locality in which the property is situated. TEMPORARILY INVESTED FUNDS After release from escrow, and before investment in properties, we will invest all funds in short-term government securities or in deposits with a financial institution and will earn interest at short-term deposit rates. Although we may retain some funds to pay operating expenses and working capital reserves, we will distribute to the investors as a return of capital any of the net proceeds of this offering that have not been invested or committed for investment in real property within 24 months after the date of this prospectus or six months after termination of the offering of units. These distributions will be without interest but together with a proportionate amount of any commissions or other organization and offering expenses. All funds will be available for our general use during this period and may be expended in operating any properties that have been acquired. For purposes of the foregoing, we will consider capital as being committed to properties, and will not return capital to the investors, if written contractual agreements have been signed prior to the period described above, regardless of whether the property is ultimately purchased. To the extent that funds have been reserved to make contingent payments in connection with a property under a written contractual agreement, or because our managers determine that additional reserves are necessary in connection with a property, regardless of whether such payment is ultimately made, funds will not be returned to investors. SALE OF PROPERTIES
SB-2/A24th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 24th
23 At the discretion of our managers, we will either distribute all or a portion of the net proceeds from sale of properties to investors or reinvest net proceeds in properties that meet our acquisition criteria. We will not reinvest net proceeds from the sale of a property unless enough cash is distributed to investors to pay income taxes resulting from the sale, assuming they are taxed at a rate of seven percent above the individual capital gains rate. We may sell co-tenancy or other fractional interests in properties, rather than selling our entire interest in a property. Our managers believe that sales of smaller interests through exchanges designed to comply with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code can result in greater overall profits than listing and selling the property through a real estate broker. In those instances in which we do not sell all of a property, we will retain, either alone or with another program sponsored by affiliates of our managers, the authority to manage the property. Although we intend to sell our properties for cash, purchase money obligations secured by mortgages may be taken as partial payment. The terms of payment may be affected by custom in the area in which the property is located and by prevailing economic conditions. To the extent we receive notes and property other than cash, that portion of the proceeds will not be included in net proceeds from sale until and to the extent the notes or other property are actually collected, sold, refinanced or otherwise liquidated. Therefore, the distribution to investors of the cash proceeds of a sale may be delayed until the notes or other property are collected at maturity, sold, refinanced or otherwise converted to cash. [15] We may receive payments in the year of sale in an amount less than the full sales price, and subsequent payments may be spread over several years. The entire balance of the principal may be a balloon payment due at maturity. For federal income tax purposes, unless we elect otherwise, we will report the gain on such sale proportionately under the installment method of accounting as principal payments are received. BORROWING & LENDING POLICIES We will acquire all properties for cash: we will not use any debt financing to acquire properties or refinance properties to generate funds to acquire other properties. Our managers do not expect that we will incur any indebtedness, although we may borrow to finance the refurbishing of a property or for other operating cash needs. The programs sponsored by affiliates of our managers have never borrowed for such purposes and we therefore believe it is unlikely that such borrowings will be incurred.
SB-2/A25th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 25th
24 We will not obtain permanent financing from the managers or their affiliates. Recourse for any indebtedness will be limited to the particular property to which the indebtedness relates. To the extent recourse is limited to a particular property, under most circumstances such indebtedness would increase the investors' tax basis in the units. We will not issue any senior securities and will not invest in junior mortgages, junior deeds of trust or similar obligations. To the extent that any financing is not fully amortizing, and it exceeds 25% of the original cost of properties, its maturity (its due date) will not be earlier than ten years after the date of purchase of the underlying property or two years after the anticipated holding period of the property (provided such holding period is at least seven years). AEI Fund 24 will not underwrite securities of other issuers, will not offer its securities in exchange for property and, except with respect to the joint venture investments described below, will not invest in the securities of other issuers for purposes of acquiring control. We may, however, make loans to the owners of properties we intend to acquire to assist with the construction of the properties. If we make construction loans, the loan will be secured by the land or both the land and the improvements under construction. Construction loans will not exceed 30% of offering proceeds. We will not make any loans to our managers or their affiliates. JOINT VENTURE INVESTMENTS We may purchase property jointly with another program sponsored by our managers or their affiliates. We will make these joint ventured investments only with a program that has investment objectives and management compensation provisions substantially the same as those of AEI Fund 24. Our ability to enter into a joint venture may be important if we wish to acquire an interest in a specific property but do not have sufficient funds (or, at the time we enter into a commitment to acquire a specified property, cannot determine whether we will have sufficient funds) to acquire the entire property. In any joint venture with another fund sponsored by our managers or their affiliates, the following conditions must be satisfied: The joint venture must have comparable investment objectives and the investment by each party to the joint venture must be on substantially the same terms and conditions; We will not pay more than once for the same services and will not act indirectly through any such joint venture if we would be prohibited from doing so directly; The compensation of the managers and such affiliates in the other fund must be substantially the same as their compensation in AEI Fund 24; and We must have a right of first refusal to purchase the other party's interest if the other party to the joint venture wishes to sell a property.
SB-2/A26th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 26th
25 [16] There is a potential risk of impasse on joint venture decisions and a risk that, even though we will have the right of first refusal to purchase the other party's interest in the joint venture, AEI Fund 24 may not have the resources to exercise such right. DISTRIBUTIONS We intend to make distributions to investors on a quarterly basis, commencing with the first quarterly period after proceeds are released from escrow. The distribution rate will vary based on the availability of the cash flow from oerations or proceeds of sale. Durng the first few years of our operations, cash flow will be derived from both the interest we earn on offering proceeds, and rent, as the proceedes are invested in properties. Because we expect that the interest rate we earn will be less than the rental rate, we expect that distributions will be lower during the first few years of operations. Distributions to investors who elect to participate in a distribution reinvestment plan will be applied to the purchase of additional units. You should read the section of this prospectus entitled "Cash Distributions and Tax Allocations" for a more detailed description of how our cash is allocated between the interest of our managers and the interests of our investors. RESERVES FOR OPERATING EXPENSES Our managers expect that about 1% of the offering proceeds will initially be reserved to meet costs and expenses. To the extent that such reserves and any income are insufficient to defray our costs and other obligations, it may be necessary to sell properties, possibly on unfavorable terms. During the holding period of a property, we may increase reserves to meet anticipated costs and expenses or other economic contingencies. If our managers determine that reserves are not necessary for operations, the excess may be distributed to investors. MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTIES Our managers or their affiliates will manage each property, and enforce the lease obligations of the tenants. The managers will: negotiate disputes with tenants; relet and remodel properties; receive and deposit monthly lease payments; periodically verify payment of real estate taxes and insurance coverage; and periodically inspect properties and tenant sales records, where applicable.
SB-2/A27th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 27th
26 Because our properties will be net leased, the tenants will be responsible for most of the day-to-day on-site management, taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses of the properties. CHANGES IN INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES [17] We will not make any material changes in the investment objectives and policies described above without first obtaining the written consent or approval of investors owning in the aggregate more than 50% of outstanding units, excluding units held by the managers and their affiliates. THE PROPERTIES We had not acquired any properties when this prospectus was printed. Our managers are continually evaluating properties for acquisition and engaging in negotiations with sellers, tenants and developers regarding the potential purchase of properties. Depending upon the amount of proceeds available from this offering, our managers intend to diversify the type and location of properties we acquire. We have not placed any limitations on the amount or percentage of assets that may be invested in any one property. Although we currently intend to purchase two or more properties with the net proceeds of this offering, we may purchase only a single property if, in our manager's judgment, that would be in the best interest of AEI Fund 24. Our leases will provide that risks such as fitness for use or purpose, design or condition, quality of material or workmanship, latent or patent defects, compliance with specifications, location, use, condition, quality, description or durability will be borne by the lessee. As is customary in commercial property transactions, most of our leases will provide for early termination upon the occurrence of events such as casualty loss or substantial condemnation. Some of our leases, particularly those for properties used in the sale of retail goods or services, will require that, as the landlord, we will bear the costs of maintaining the structural integrity of the building, including the roof and foundation. ACQUISITION CANDIDATES Many of our properties will be leased to tenants in the chain or franchise restaurant industry, although there is no prohibition on the acquisition of properties in other industries. Past programs that were sponsored by affiliates of our managers have invested approximately 73% of their proceeds in restaurant properties and we anticipate that at least this proportion would be invested in restaurant properties by AEI Fund 24, although we could invest more or less than this amount. Currently, we expect that we may also acquire a limited number of properties in the childcare or single tenant retail industries. Our managers intend to monitor industry trends and invest in properties that serve to provide the most favorable return balanced with risk.
SB-2/A28th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 28th
27 The restaurant industry is a large and growing segment of the economy. Annual sales of the top 100 restaurant chains exceeded $130 billion in 1999. With a steady increase in the number of two-income families and a rapidly expanding senior citizen population, demographic trends are particularly favorable for the casual dining segment of the restaurant industry. Because this industry is highly property-dependent, our managers believe it offers some of the best sale leaseback investment opportunities. Our managers believe that this industry includes a number of companies and franchisees with established track records that are attractive. Prior programs sponsored by our managers or their affiliates have invested in properties leased to entities, or franchisees of entities, such as the following: Applebees Champps Arby's Marie Calender's TGI Fridays Taco Cabana Perkins Denny's ACQUISITION CRITERIA In determining whether a property may be a suitable acquisition, our managers will consider the following factors, among others: The creditworthiness of the lessee and the lease guarantor, if any, and their ability to meet the lease obligations; [18] The terms of the proposed lease and guaranty, if any, including any provisions relating to rent increases and the passing on of operating expenses to tenants; The location, condition, use and design of the property and its suitability for a long-term net lease; The demographics of the community in which a property is located; The prospects for long-term appreciation of the property; and The prospects for long-range liquidity of the investment. All property acquisition decisions made by our managers will involve balancing these factors with the economic characteristics, including rental return and purchase price, of each property to provide, in their judgment, the likelihood of a favorable return while minimizing risk of loss. In make those decisions, our managers may give more weight to some of the forgoing factors than others, and the weight attributed to any one factor may not be consistent among all properties acquired. Our success in achieving our investment objectives will, to a substantial extent, be dependent upon the considerable judgment exercised by our managers in making these decisions.
SB-2/A29th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 29th
28 PROPERTY UPDATES During the offering period, if there is a reasonable probability that a property will be acquired, we will supplement this prospectus to disclose important information about the property. Based upon the experience and acquisition methods of our managers, this will normally occur when a legally binding purchase agreement is signed for a property, but may occur sooner or later depending upon the circumstances involved. Supplements to this prospectus will describe the property to be acquired, the proposed terms of purchase, the financial results of any prior operations of the property, and other information considered appropriate for an understanding of the transaction. Upon termination of this offering, no further supplements to this prospectus will be distributed, but we will continue to provide investors with acquisition reports containing substantially the same information regarding the properties acquired. You should understand that you should not rely on the initial disclosure of a proposed acquisition as our assurance that we will ultimately consummate the acquisition or that the information provided concerning an acquisition will not change between the date of this prospectus (or supplement) and the actual purchase date. MANAGERS FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY Our managers are accountable to us as fiduciaries and must exercise good faith in handling our affairs. Our managers have fiduciary responsibility for the safekeeping and use of all our capital and assets, whether or not in the managers' possession or control. Our managers are prohibited from employing, or allowing any other person or entity to employ, our capital or assets in any manner except for the exclusive benefit of our investors. The managers will not be liable us or our investors for acts or omissions which may occur in the exercise of their judgment, as long as their actions were made in the good faith belief that the actions were in the interest of AEI Fund 24 and not the result of negligence or misconduct. We will indemnify the managers for any claim or liability arising out of their activities on behalf of AEI Fund 24, unless the claim or liability was the result of negligence or misconduct. In the opinion of the SEC, and the securities administrators of most states, indemnification for liabilities arising under securities laws is against public policy and therefore unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification for liabilities under securities laws is asserted by our managers in connection with registration of the units, we will submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, after apprising such court of the position of the SEC and state securities administrators, the question of whether indemnification by it is against public policy and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

29 [19] MANAGEMENT Our managers will have the sole and exclusive right, power and responsibility to manage our business. Among other powers, and subject to the restriction that financing not be obtained to acquire properties, our managers will have authority to borrow funds to meet our operating cash needs and to secure those borrowings with our properties. Our managers will make all of the investment decisions, including: decisions relating to the properties to be acquired, the method and timing of any refinancing of such properties, the selection of tenants, the terms of leases on such properties, and the method and timing of the sale of our interest in properties. Our managers will coordinate and manage all of our activities, maintain our records and accounts, and arrange for the preparation and filing of all our tax returns. Certain of the administrative and management functions to be performed by our managers may be delegated to their affiliates, provided that any compensation to affiliates of our managers is at cost. For these purposes, cost means the actual expenses affiliates incur in providing services, including: the salaries, fees and expenses paid to employees and consultants of our managers and their affiliates for work they perform on our behalf; office rent, telephone, travel, employee benefit expenses and other expenses attributable to providing such services. Our managers allocate and charge us for a majority of these expenses based on the number of hours devoted by their employees to our affairs, as recorded on employee daily time records. They allocate some expenses at the end of each month based upon the number of our investors and our capitalization as compared to other programs that they manage.

LARSON, a Certified Public Accountant, is Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the manager, and is a director of AEI Fund Management, Inc. and has been employed by AEI Fund Management, Inc. and affiliated entities since 1985. From 1979 to 1985, Mr. Larson was with Apache Corporation as manager of Program Accounting responsible for the accounting and reports for approximately 45 public partnerships. Mr. Larson will be primarily responsible for supervising the accounting functions of the manager and AEI Fund 24, including coordination of reports to the SEC and investors. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGERS Except for their interests as managing members of AEI Fund 24, none of the managers, the affiliates of the managers, nor the officers or directors of the managers, hold an units or other interest in AEI Fund 24. Although it is not currently anticipated that they will acquire units, the managers and their affiliates may acquire units on the same terms as other investors. Units acquired by the managers and their affiliates will not be considered in determining whether the minimum number of units has been sold. AEI FUND MANAGEMENT, INC. Most of our management services will be provided on behalf of our manager by AEI Fund Management, Inc., a Minnesota corporation having the same officers as the manager. AEI Fund Management, Inc. is a property and program management company that provides services to the 13 publicly syndicated, and 2 privately placed, real estate programs that are described under the caption "Prior Performance" below. The sponsors are using AEI Fund Management XXI, Inc., a separate entity, as the corporate manager so that our operations are not affected by operations of the other real estate programs for which they provide services. AEI Fund Management employs approximately 25 persons, two of whom are engaged primarily in property acquisitions, two in property management, three in property sales, seven in accounting and financial reporting, seven in investor and dealer support services and two in general administrative services. AEI Fund Management, Inc. has the same officers as AEI Fund Management XXI, Inc. Management services from AEI Fund Management, Inc. will be billed to us directly. REPLACEMENT OF MANAGERS Our managing member may not withdraw from its position as a manager without providing investors, as limited members, at least 90 days written notice and providing a substitue managing member who is approved by vote of a majority of the units outstanding, excluding units held by the managing member and affiliates. Our special managing member may not withdraw during the first 24 months of our operations. Our operating agreement provides that either manager may be removed as a manager if a court determines that:

32 The manager was grossly negligent in performing its obligations under our operating agreement; The manager committed fraud against our investors or AEI Fund 24; The manager committed a felony in connection with management of AEI Fund 24; The manager was in material breach of its obligations under our operating agreement; or The manager is bankrupt. [21] Our operating agreement also allows investors to remove and replace either of our managers by vote of the holders of a majority of the units, excluding units held by the manager. PRIOR PERFORMANCE During the past 28 years, Mr. Johnson and affiliates have syndicated 13 public and 13 private net lease property investment partnerships in the United States. Since 1984, Mr. Johnson and affiliates have formed, syndicated and now manage 13 public real estate partnerships that have purchased, for cash, single tenant properties under long- term net leases. With the exception of size and the ability to use mortgage indebtedness for the acquisition of properties, all of such partnerships are similar to AEI Fund 24. The public partnerships sponsored by Mr. Johnson and affiliates include the following: Fund Name Month Investment Offering was Raised Net Lease Income & Growth Fund 84-A Limited Partnership December 84 $ 5,000,000 AEI Real Estate Fund 85-A Limited Partnership June 85 $ 7,500,000 AEI Real Estate Fund 85-B Limited Partnership February 86 $ 7,500,000 AEI Real Estate Fund 86-A Limited Partnership July 86 $ 7,500,000 AEI Real Estate Fund XV Limited Partnership December 86 $ 7,500,000 AEI Real Estate Fund XVI Limited Partnership November 87 $15,000,000 AEI Real Estate Fund XVII Limited Partnership November 88 $23,388,750

The properties purchased by all of these partnerships were new, or recently constructed, net leased commercial properties. At December 31, 2000, these programs had purchased 163 properties for approximately $215,000,000 and sold 76 properties for approximately $93,500,000. The following table sets forth the geographic distribution of the 163 properties purchased, or under contract for purchase, by prior public partnerships: [22] Alabama 4 Illinois 4 Michigan 7 New Mexico 1 Tennessee 3 Arizona 5 Indiana 5 Minnesota 12 North Caro. 3 Texas 43 Arkansas 1 Iowa 2 Missouri 5 North Dakota 1 Virginia 5 California 4 Kansas 1 Montana 1 Ohio 14 Wisconsin 4 Colorado 6 Kentucky 1 Nebraska 4 Oregon 1 Florida 6 Louisiana 4 Nevada 3 Pennsylvania 1 Georgia 4 Maryland 1 New Hamp. 1 South Caro. 3 [Graphic: Map of United States showing states where AEI funds own properties] By cost, approximately 73% were restaurants and the balance were other retail properties. Upon request, for no fee, the managers will provide any potential investor with a copy of the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-KSB as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for any of these partnerships and, upon payment of reasonable fees to cover postage and handling, a copy of any of the exhibits to such Form 10-KSB. These annual reports are also available at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov.

34 A total of approximately 286 investors have purchased interests in the private partnerships. All but four of the private partnerships were specified property offerings. Of the remaining private partnerships, one acquired four properties on a "blind pool" basis, one is a private partnership that acquired seven properties on a blind pool basis, one is a private partnership that acquired four properties on a blind pool basis and one is a private partnership currently being offered to accredited investors on a blind pool basis. In the aggregate, the private partnerships purchased 27 properties for $16,545,384. All of the properties were commercial properties: 21 restaurants, three retail stores, one automotive center, and two daycare centers. All of the properties were new or recently constructed. Seventeen of those properties were in midwestern states. Two were in southwestern states, two were in south central states and six were in south eastern states. As with this offering, the primary objective of the earlier private partnerships was production of income (not tax shelter) by investment in single-tenant properties that were located in various areas of the United States and that were leased on a "triple net" basis. Unlike this offering, however, all but five of the private partnerships acquired properties with indebtedness of up to 75% of the purchase price. Through December 31, 2000, twenty two of the properties held by the private partnership's had been sold. During the three years ended December 31, 2000, affiliated programs that were still operating acquired a total of 25 properties, including 16 restaurants, 3 single-tenant retail stores, and 6 childcare centers. All of these properties were acquired for cash, without assumed or additional indebtedness. 14 of those properties were in midwestern states. One was in a southwestern state, five were in south central states, four were in south eastern states and one was in an eastern state. We have included more detailed information about these properties in tables that are in Part II of the registration statement that we have filed with the SEC and will provide those tables to you, without charge, upon request. The partnerships sponsored by the managers and their affiliates have owned some properties leased to tenants that failed to fully perform under the terms of their leases, including timely payment of rent. When a tenant defaults, the [23]
SB-2/A36th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 36th
35 affiliates managing the properties take such action as they deem prudent in commercial lease transactions. Such actions may include termination of leases, in which the property may be relet to a new tenant or sold. When tenants fail to meet their lease obligations, rental payments will likely be interrupted. Although this interruption may cause a decrease in distributions of cash flow for a period of time, the public partnerships have diversified their acquisitions. Because of this, no default, or series of defaults, has caused a public partnership sponsored by the managers to miss a quarterly cash distribution or to have inadequate cash to fund operations. It is a continuing objective of the managers to minimize tenant defaults through careful property evaluation of the creditworthiness of lessees and by renegotiating leases or locating new tenants with the intent of minimizing any interruption of rents. More detailed information about these properties is contained in Table III included in Exhibit B to this prospectus. COMPENSATION TO MANAGERS AND AFFILIATES AEI Fund Management XXI and AEI Fund Management will provide nearly all of the operational services we require and will be compensated accordingly. AEI Securities will coordinate the sale of units and will receive commissions and expense allowances, most of which will be paid or "reallowed" to other broker-dealers that solicit subscriptions for the program. AEI Fund Management will provide administrative services and we will reimburse it for all of its expenses in furnishing services at its "cost," including a portion of its general expenses directly related to the furnishing of such services. In addition, AEI Fund Management XXI and Robert P. Johnson, as our managing members, will receive an interest in net cash flow and net proceeds from sale of properties. Robert P. Johnson, the individual manager, is the sole shareholder and the chief executive officer of AEI Fund Management XXI, AEI Fund Management and AEI Securities. The following table describes the forms of compensation, distributions and cost reimbursements that we will, or may, pay to AEI Fund Management XXI, AEI Fund Management and AEI Securities for their services in connection with our organization, operation and liquidation, assuming the minimum 1,500 units and the maximum 50,000 units are sold. The following arrangements were formulated by our managers and are not the result of arm's-length negotiations.

[25] 3. Acquisition expenses include amounts paid for legal fees, travel and communication, appraisal costs, accounting fees, title expenses and other expenses in acquiring properties. These expenses will be paid at "cost," which includes the time spent by the manager's employees in performing these services. 4. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.2b of the Operating Agreement, we will reimburse our managers and their affiliates at cost for administrative expenses in managing all our operations. These expenses include costs they incur providing services for the acquisition, leasing and operation of our properties, including: the salaries, fees and expenses paid to employees and consultants of our managers and their affiliates for work they perform on our behalf; office rent, telephone, travel, employee benefit expenses and other expenses attributable to providing such services.
SB-2/A39th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 39th
38 Our managers allocate and charge us for a majority of these expenses based on the number of hours devoted by their employees to our affairs, as recorded on employee daily time records. They allocate some expenses at the end of each month based upon the number of our investors and our capitalization as compared to other programs that they manage. Our managers have committed that they will not obtain expense reimbursements for general overhead and for controlling person expense to the extent the reimbursements exceed, together with Front-End Fees and sales expenses, the sum of 20% of capital contributions, 5% of revenues from properties, a 3% sales commission, and 7% of net cash flow. We will not pay real estate commissions to our managers or their affiliates for the purchase or sale of any of our properties. We will, however, compensate our managers and their affiliates at their cost, subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding table and in Section 6.2 of our operating agreement, for all expenses they incur in connection with the purchase and sale of properties which may include bonus compensation to non-controlling employees. We will not pay acquisition fees to our managers. Further, we will not compensate our managers or their affiliates for services not described in the table above. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AEI Fund 24 will not have any employees, but instead will be dependent upon its managers, and particularly on AEI Fund Management, Inc. an affiliate of its managers, for most of the services required for its operations. Robert P. Johnson, our special managing member, is also the President, CEO, sole director and sole shareholder of our managing member, of AEI Fund Management, Inc., and of AEI Securities, Inc., the dealer manager. Our investors will not have any interest in any of these entities and will not be in a position to control their activities. The interlocking interests of our managers and affiliated entities create a number of conflicts of interest, including the following:
SB-2/A40th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 40th
39 LACK OF ARM'S-LENGTH NEGOTIATIONS WITH MANAGEMENT Our managers will receive substantial reimbursements for the cost of providing services to AEI Fund 24 and may realize income from AEI Fund 24 during our operations and upon our liquidation. Our agreements and arrangements with the managers and with their affiliates, including those relating to compensation, were not negotiated at arm's-length. Although the aggregate amount of reimbursements our managers may receive is limited by our operating agreement, the amount of services that our managers provide, and therefore the amount of reimbursement they receive within these limits, will be determined in the first instance by our managers. Our managers believe that payment for services based on actual reimbursement of costs allows AEI Fund 24 to operate with lower overall administrative expense than would occur if they were reimbursed based on the fixed fees represented by the limits placed in the operating agreement. Further, and consistent with their fiduciary obligations, the managers believe that their interest in cash flow provides an incentive not to overcharge AEI Fund 24 intend to make decisions regarding allocation of services in the best interest of AEI Fund 24. [26] The interests of our managers and our investors with respect to the timing and price of any sale of our properties may also conflict because a significant portion of our managers' compensation will not be payable until the sale of properties. Nevertheless, our managers believe their inability to share substantially in sale proceeds unless there is significant appreciation in the value of the properties provides an incentive to maximize proceeds both to the managers and the investors. OTHER REAL ESTATE ACTIVITIES OF MANAGERS Our managers and their affiliates are actively engaged in the commercial real estate business as general partners in 13 other operating publicly syndicated, and four privately syndicated programs. Mr. Johnson also intends to offer additional real estate programs in the future through companies with which he is affiliated. We will not have independent management but will rely on our managers and their affiliates for our operations. Our managers will devote only so much of their time to our business as, in their judgment, is reasonably required and are not required to devote any minimum amount of time to our operations. We anticipate that, although Mr. Johnson may devote approximately 30% of his time to our business while we are offering units and acquiring property, he may devote less than 10% of his overall work time after properties are acquired. The allocation by our managers of their time, services and functions among current programs and future programs they might sponsor, as well as other business ventures in which they may be involved, may create conflicts of interest. Our managers believe that they have, or can retain directly or through affiliates, sufficient staff to be fully capable of discharging their responsibilities to all programs with which they are affiliated.
SB-2/A41st Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 41st
40 COMPETITION WITH MANAGERS AND OTHER AFFILIATED PROGRAMS FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF PROPERTIES Our managers and their affiliates may engage in other business ventures, including forming and sponsoring other public or private programs, and neither AEI Fund 24 nor any of our investors will be entitled to any interest in those programs. It is possible that we will periodically have money available to acquire additional properties at the same time as other programs sponsored by our managers or their affiliates. If this happens, conflicts of interest will arise as to which program should acquire a particular property. Our managers will review the investment portfolio of each program and will make a decision as to which program will acquire the property on the basis of several factors, including: the cash flow requirements of each program; the degree of diversification of each program; the estimated income tax effects of the purchase on each program; the amount of funds available to each program; and the length of time such funds have been available for investment. If funds are available in two or more programs to purchase the same property, and the factors enumerated above have been evaluated and deemed equally applicable to each program, the property will be acquired by the program that first reached its minimum investment level. Any other conflicts will be resolved by our managers in their sole discretion. Conflicts of interest may arise when we attempt to sell or rent our properties. Our managers may sell less than a 100% interest in a property and we may then own a fractional interest in that property. Our managers may be forced to choose between selling a property we hold and a property held by the manager or by an affiliated program. Such conflicts will be resolved by our managers, in their discretion, after consideration of the investment objectives of the program holding the property and the length of time until the planned final disposition of properties. Our managers may allow the sale of a fractional interest they hold or that is held by an affiliated program prior to the sale of an interest we hold. We cannot assure you that the terms of sale of all fractional interest in a property sold at different times will be the same. [27]

41 POSSIBLE JOINT INVESTMENT WITH AFFILIATED PROGRAMS We may invest in property jointly with another program sponsored by our managers or their affiliates under the conditions described in "Investment Objectives and Policies-Joint Venture Investments." Although we may make these joint investments only with another program with similar investment objectives and compensation structure, the programs may have different objectives with respect to the timing of disposition of the properties or the level of short-term, versus long-term income from the properties. The same personnel from our managers and their affiliates will make all of the decisions for the joint investment and may have conflicting duties to act for the benefit of AEI Fund 24 and for the other program that is party to the joint investment. In such a situation, conflicts of interest could arise between the joint venture partners. MANAGER'S REPRESENTATION OF FUND IN AUDIT PROCEEDINGS Our managing member will act as the "tax matters partner" pursuant to Section 6231 of the Internal Revenue Code. This grants our manager discretion and authority regarding extensions of time for assessment of additional tax against the investors related to our income, deductions or credits and for settlement or litigation of controversies involving such items. The positions taken by the manager on tax matters may have differing effects on the managers and our investors. It is possible that in some disputes, such as disputes over whether allocations in our operating agreement should control tax allocations, the interests of our managers will actually be adverse to the interests of our investors. Any decisions made by our managers with respect to these matters will be made in good faith consistent with its fiduciary duties to us and our investors. Our managers, to the extent its actions as tax matters partner are in good faith and reasonably intended to be in our best interests and subject to the indemnification and exculpation language contained in our Operating Agreement, may be entitled to indemnity for liability incurred as a result of their actions on tax matters. See Exhibit A, Section 6.5 at Page A-14. LACK OF SEPARATE REPRESENTATION
SB-2/A43rd Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 43rd
42 Our managers and our investors are not represented by separate counsel. Our managers' counsel has formed and will provide services to the managers relating to AEI Fund 24. The attorneys and accountants who will perform services on behalf of the managers also perform services for AEI Securities, Inc. and other affiliates of the managers. Without independent legal representation, you might not receive legal advice regarding matters that might be in your interest but contrary to the interest of our managers and their affiliates. Should a dispute arise between AEI Fund 24 and our managers or their affiliates - or should negotiations or agreements between AEI Fund 24 and our managers, other than those existing or contemplated on the effective date of this prospectus, be necessary - our managers will cause AEI Fund 24 to retain separate counsel. Any future agreement between AEI Fund 24 and the managers or their affiliates will provide that it may be terminated at the option of AEI Fund 24 upon 60 days' notice without penalty to AEI Fund 24. AFFILIATION OF SELLING AGENT AEI Securities, an affiliate of our managers, is serving as "Dealer-Manager" for the offering of units. Normally, the dealer manager or underwriter of securities would perform an arms-length investigation of an issuer of securities to make certain that the offering and related documents are accurate and complete. In our case, the "due diligence" investigation customarily performed by an underwriter is being performed by an affiliate of the managers. AEI believes, however, that such due diligence has, in fact, been exercised. Moreover, under Rule 2810(b)(2) of the NASD Conduct Rules, each investment firm that sells units has an obligation to make an appropriate independent inquiry about the offering. EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS Our managers and their affiliates are reimbursed at their cost for the services they perform on our behalf. The aggregate cost of such reimbursements can be as much as the fees and increased interest in net cash flow interest the managers are allowed to be paid under applicable state regulation. [28] CASH DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX ALLOCATIONS CASH DISTRIBUTIONS Our managers intend to make distributions of available net cash flow, if any, within 30 days after the end of each fiscal quarter. Our objective is to acquire net leased properties which will generate partially "tax deferred" cash distributions to you because of the depreciation deductions that the properties will generate. Any net cash flow from operations for each fiscal year will be distributed 97% to investors such as you and 3% to our managers.
SB-2/A44th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 44th
43 When we refinance, sell or otherwise dispose of any of our properties, we are allowed to reinvest the net proceeds from the sale or refinancing in other properties. If we do not reinvest, we will distribute the net proceeds from the sale or refinance as follows: First, 99% to the investors and 1% to the managers until the investors have received an amount from net sales proceeds equal to the total of their capital contributions (adjusted for previous distributions from sale) plus an amount equal to a 7% per annum return on their adjusted capital contributions, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent the 7% return has not been previously distributed to them from sales proceeds or cash flow. Any remaining balance will be distributed 90% to the investors and 10% to the managers. The 1% unsubordinated interest in net proceeds of sale received by our managers for a $1,000 capital contribution is not proportionate to the interest that would be received by an investor with the same capital contribution. TAX ALLOCATIONS For income tax purposes, we will allocate all income, profits, gains and losses for each fiscal year, other than any gain or loss realized upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of any property, as follows: net loss will be allocated 99% to the investors and 1% to the managers so long as the investors have positive balances in their capital accounts. If their capital accounts are reduced to zero, all losses will be allocated to the managers; and net income will be allocated 97% to the investors and 3% to the managers. For income tax purposes, the gain realized upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of any property will be allocated as follows: first, to and among the investors in an amount equal to the negative balances in their respective capital accounts (pro rata based on the relative amounts of such negative balances); then, 99% to the investors and 1% to the managers until the balance in each investor's capital account equals the sum of such investor's Adjusted Capital Contribution plus an amount equal to a 7% per annum return on such investor's Adjusted Capital Contribution, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not previously distributed; and the balance of any remaining gain will then be allocated 90% to the investors and 10% to the managers.
SB-2/A45th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 45th
44 For income tax purposes, any loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of any property shall be allocated 99% to the investors and 1% to the managers. [29] INCOME TAX ASPECTS Federal income tax laws and regulations as they apply to us are complicated and are only summarized below. You should realize that consultation with your own advisor may be necessary to understand the tax implications of an investment in AEI Fund 24 on your personal tax situation and that periodic consultation about changes in tax laws may be necessary because of future changes in statutes and regulations or in interpretations by courts or state and federal tax authorities. OPINION OF COUNSEL Dorsey & Whitney LLP, counsel to our managers, has rendered an opinion on the material federal tax issues relating to an investment in our units that involve a reasonable possibility of challenge by the Internal Revenue Service. Where such an opinion cannot be rendered with respect to a material tax issue, Dorsey & Whitney LLP has described the reasons for its inability to opine. As described below, counsel has not rendered an opinion on federal tax issues whose outcome depends upon facts and circumstances that will be determinable or will arise only in the future. In particular, counsel has rendered no opinion with respect to the probable outcome of: whether our allocation of basis among buildings (the cost of which is depreciable), personal property (the cost of which is depreciable over a shorter period), and the underlying land (the cost of which is not depreciable); will be upheld whether we will be characterized as a "dealer" in real estate at the time of sale or disposition of our properties; whether the leases we enter into will be "true leases" or will be "stepped payment leases" for purposes of determining whether we will be considered an "owner" of properties entitled to take depreciation and other deductions and for purposes of the timing of recognition of rental income; and whether our allocation of start-up, organization, syndication and acquisition expenses for purposes of the deduction or capitalization of such expenses will be upheld.
SB-2/A46th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 46th
45 Where counsel has not issued an opinion because the factors relevant to the issue involved cannot be determined at this time, depend on an investor's tax situation, or turn on aspects of law that are at present uncertain, no inferences should be drawn as to any possible legal outcome. Furthermore, as explained below in more detail under "Allocation," because of the uncertainty in the law regarding whether allocations made to members of a limited liability company treated as a partnership for tax purposes such as AEI Fund 24 will have "substantial economic effect," counsel has rendered a qualified opinion as to whether allocations made to investors under the operating agreement will be respected for tax purposes. Subject to the information contained in this prospectus and in counsel's opinion (a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 8 to the registration statement that has been filed with the SEC), counsel has advised AEI Fund 24 that in the aggregate the significant tax benefits, as described herein, potentially available to an investor will more likely then not be realized. An opinion of counsel represents only such counsel's best legal judgment and has no binding effect or official status of any kind. No assurance can be given that the conclusions reached in an opinion would be sustained by a court if challenged by the IRS. Therefore, investors will assume the risks of a challenge by the IRS of the tax interpretations set forth herein or otherwise made by AEI Fund 24 or the managers and the risks of changes in tax laws, rules, regulations and interpretations. GENERAL We have not been formed to serve as a "tax shelter." We provide a tax advantaged form of investment primarily because: [30] we avoid two levels of taxation by using a "pass-through" organizational structure; we "defer" some taxes because some of the cash we generate in early years can be offset for tax purposes by non-cash depreciation and amortization charges; and most of the income (from rents) that we may generate is "passive income" that can be offset by passive losses from other sources. There are, however, a number of factors that can affect our ability to achieve these benefits, the timing of the benefits and the taxes you might have to pay. These are described below.
SB-2/A47th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 47th
46 PARTNERSHIP STATUS We have been formed as a limited liability company to allow our investors to obtain a direct pass-through of their pro rata share of our operating results. Under the Internal Revenue Code and applicable IRS regulations, no federal income tax is payable by a limited liability company that does not elect to be taxed as a corporation and is not a "publicly traded partnership." Each investor and manager is required to report on his or her federal income tax return his or her share of our profits, losses, gains, income, deductions and credits. Subject to limitations, including limitations on passive activity losses, each investor and manager may deduct his or her share of our losses, if any, for any fiscal year on his or her individual return to the extent of the adjusted basis of his or her interest in AEI Fund 24 as of the end of such year. Likewise, each investor and manager must include his or her distributive share of any of our taxable income for each year with his or her other taxable income whether or not he or she has received cash distributions from us during the year. We have received an opinion from our managers' legal counsel that we will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and will not be treated as an "association" taxable as a corporation. In rendering this opinion, counsel has relied on the existing tax regulations and our representation that we will not, for any period, elect to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation. Under the Internal Revenue Code, if AEI Fund 24 were classified as a "publicly traded partnership," it would be taxed as a corporation, unless 90% or more of its income was from passive-type investments. If it were taxed as a corporation, the Fund would be taxed on any income it generated, and that income would be taxed again when distributed to investors in the form of dividends. Moreover, the income distributed to investors would be treated as "portfolio income" and could not be offset by passive losses. IRS Regulations provide several "safe harbors" from publicly traded partnership status for partnerships interests that are not traded on an established securities market or readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent. On the basis of these safe harbors, and based on the provisions of our operating agreement, and provided transfers of interests are made only in accordance with those provisions, counsel to our managers is of the opinion that we will not be considered a publicly traded partnership. FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT THE AMOUNT, TIMING AND ALLOCATION OF INCOME AND LOSSES.

47 ALLOCATIONS. Our operating agreement allocates to each investor and manager his or her distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit. Whether these allocations will be respected for federal income tax purposes depends upon whether they have "substantial economic effect" under applicable IRS regulations. If the allocations do not have substantial economic effect, the distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of each investor and manager will be determined in accordance with the interest in AEI Fund 24 they hold rather than in accordance with the contractual allocation. Because the application of the law concerning substantial economic effect to the allocations that may be made under our operating agreement is uncertain, counsel has not rendered an unqualified opinion concerning whether the allocations made to investors will be respected. Nevertheless, assuming that all investors and managers have positive balances in their capital accounts (determined after adjusting capital accounts as provided in our operating agreement) throughout our existence and that the [31] after-tax economic consequences of the allocations made in our operating agreement do not violate the "substantiality" requirement imposed by IRS regulations, counsel is of the opinion that it is more likely than not that allocations made under the operating agreement will have substantial economic effect. Counsel is unable to render an opinion on the allocation of losses or deductions where the investors have negative balances in their capital accounts, because the operating agreement does not contain an unconditional obligation to restore such deficit balance. DEPRECIATION DEDUCTIONS. The Internal Revenue Code allows a taxpayer to claim depreciation deductions on property used in a trade or business or held for the production of income. As a general rule, the cost of acquiring or constructing property, including incidental costs, may be included in its tax basis for purposes of computing these deductions. We will claim depreciation, cost recovery and amortization deductions on the properties we acquire. Although these deductions will reduce our taxable income, they will also reduce our adjusted basis in the properties, and increase the potential gain (or decrease the potential loss) when the properties are sold. Because they will consist solely of commercial properties, we will depreciate most of our real property over 39 years using the straight-line method (although some of our property may be tax-exempt use property that must be depreciated over a 40-year period). A small portion of the properties we purchase is expected to be fifteen-year or five-year recovery property.

48 Allocation of the purchase price of a property among the various depreciable and non-depreciable assets is a factual question, and we cannot assure you that the allocations made by our managers will be accepted by the IRS. Because none of our properties have been acquired and the issue depends on facts that are not yet determined, counsel has not rendered an opinion on this issue. Adjustment of the allocation of the purchase price of a property could decrease depreciation deductions thereby increasing taxable income or decreasing losses we recognize and pass on to our investors. THE FORM OF OUR LEASES. Although we anticipate that we will be treated as the "owner" of our properties, the IRS has taken the position in some situations that lease transactions should be treated as financing transactions. If one of our leases were to be considered a financing transaction for federal income tax purposes, we would not be treated as the owner and would not be entitled to take depreciation and other deductions on our investment. Although we intend to use leases that will result in our being treated as the owner of the leased property, because we have not yet entered into any leases, counsel has not expressed an opinion on our status as owner and lessor of properties. Further, a lessor may be required to accrue rental income for income tax purposes during a taxable period in amounts that differ from the actual rental payments received. This can occur if (1) rental payments are made after the close of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the use of the property occurs, or (2) rental payments increase over the term of the lease. Prior programs sponsored by our managers have entered into leases of this type. In certain instances, these agreements may require accrual of a constant amount of rental income despite changes in rental rates or may require recapture on the disposition of the property subject to the lease. Because we have not yet entered into any leases, we cannot tell you whether this treatment will apply. If we enter into a lease that requires accrual of a constant amount, such an accrual could result in recognition of a greater amount of income than we receive in some years. ORGANIZATION AND SYNDICATION COSTS AND OTHER PAYMENTS TO OUR MANAGERS. Our managers and their affiliates will be reimbursed for costs they incur on our behalf. These reimbursements will include the costs of forming, managing and selling units in AEI Fund 24, and related general and administrative costs. Our managers will categorize these reimbursements as start-up, syndication, organization, management or acquisition costs. Although the Internal Revenue Code allows deduction of amounts paid to organize AEI Fund 24 or to create an active trade or business over a period of not less than 60 months, it does not allow deduction of amounts paid to issue or market the units. There can be no assurance that the IRS will accept our managers' determination of the classification of costs, and because the issue is factual in nature, counsel to the managers has not issued an opinion on this issue.
SB-2/A50th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 50th
49 [32] Expenses to acquire properties will generally be added to the purchase price and deducted over their useful lives. All other reimbursements will be deducted as management expenses. Although our managers believe that the management expenses for which they will be reimbursed will be deductible and will be paid for necessary and ordinary services rendered, the IRS could assert that some of those expenses are not currently deductible. Counsel has not issued an opinion on the deductibility of these expenses because their deductibility is a factual issue. BASIS OF FUND INTEREST. Subject to the "at risk rules" and the "passive activity loss limitations" that are described in greater detail below, an investor will generally be allowed to deduct his or her share of our losses to the extent of the adjusted basis in the investor's units. Each investor's adjusted basis of the units initially will include the investor's investment plus the investor's pro rata share of indebtedness as to which neither AEI Fund 24 nor any investor is personally liable. Under the "at risk" rules, a taxpayer cannot deduct losses arising from an activity, including the activity of holding real property, to the extent the losses exceed the aggregate amount with respect to which the taxpayer is financially "at risk" in such activity. Generally, a taxpayer is "at risk" in the amount of the investor's investment plus the investor's share of recourse liabilities and "qualified nonrecourse liabilities." The managers will attempt to ensure that financing, if any, that may be placed on properties will be qualified nonrecourse financing. Because that determination depends on facts not yet in existence, no assurances can be given that any loans actually obtained by AEI Fund 24 will qualify as amounts "at risk." An investor's adjusted basis of his or her units will increase by the investor's share of our income for each year and decrease by his or her share of our losses and by distributions of cash and other property we make to the investor. The investor's share of any reduction in principal of our indebtedness will be treated as a distribution of cash to the investor. The adjusted basis of an investor's units may not be reduced below zero. In the event that the amount of losses allocated to an investor for any fiscal year exceeds the investor's available basis of his or her units, the excess losses may be carried forward to the time, if ever, that the basis is sufficient to absorb such excess losses. Distributions of cash to an investor that are not made when we are liquidating will, in most cases, be treated as a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent of a investor's adjusted basis in his or her units and serve to reduce basis by an amount equal to the cash distributed. If the cash distributed exceeds the investor's adjusted basis of her or his units prior to distribution, the investor will recognize taxable gain in the amount of the excess.

50 SALES OF FUND PROPERTY AND FORECLOSURE. If we sell a property, gain will be recognized to the extent that the amount realized from the sale exceeds our adjusted basis in the property and loss will be recognized to the extent that the adjusted basis of the property exceeds the amount realized. The amount realized from the sale of a property includes all cash received, all liabilities assumed and the fair market value of all property received other than cash. In general, investors will also recognize taxable gain on foreclosure of a mortgage securing a property to the extent the foreclosed liability exceeds the adjusted basis of the property. If property is sold within one year after it is acquired, gain, if any, will be recaptured as ordinary income to the extent that depreciation deductions were taken. If the depreciated property is sold in an installment sale, all depreciation will be recaptured in the year of sale. Under certain circumstances, the sale of property may not generate net cash proceeds in amounts sufficient to cover the tax liabilities created for the investors. These circumstances might include: the sale of a property on adverse terms, i.e., for gross proceeds that exceed the depreciated book value of the property by an amount significantly greater than the net proceeds after payment of the remaining principal amount of the related mortgage or deed of trust; the sale or transfer of a property pursuant to foreclosure; or the sale of a property for proceeds that include illiquid assets, such as promissory notes of the purchaser. [33] Any gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of (a) property that is held by AEI Fund 24 as a "dealer" or (b) property that is neither a capital asset nor a Section 1231 asset will be taxed as ordinary income or loss. LIQUIDATION. When we are liquidated, you will recognize taxable gain to the extent that any money distributed to you exceeds the adjusted basis of your units. You will recognize a loss only if you receive liquidation distributions consisting solely of money, unrealized receivables or inventory items and then only to the extent that the adjusted basis of you units exceeds your basis in the items we distribute. SALE OF YOUR UNITS. Unless you are a "dealer" in securities, gain or loss on sale or disposition of your units will be treated as capital gain or loss. You might have to report ordinary income, however, to the extent that: we have "unrealized receivables and inventory items" at the time you sell your units, including depreciation recapture property or items that are not a capital asset or because we are considered a "dealer" in such property;
SB-2/A52nd Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 52nd
51 we have nonrecourse partnership liabilities on properties at the time of your sale that would create additional gain or ordinary income for you. Your gain on the sale or exchange of units can exceed the cash proceeds from the sale, and the income taxes payable with respect to such gain also may exceed the cash proceeds. you make a gift of your units at a time when your share of our nonrecourse liabilities exceeds your basis of the units. Because of the complexities and added expense of the tax accounting required to implement special elections to adjust the basis of a transferee of units in those units, we do not intend to make a "Section 754" election when an investor sells units. You may have greater difficulty selling your units or may realize a lower sales price because the purchaser will obtain no current tax benefits from his investment to the extent that his cost of the investment exceeds his allocable share of AEI Fund 24's basis in its assets. LOSSES AND CREDITS FROM PASSIVE ACTIVITIES. Our manager intends to conduct our operations in a manner that will cause most of the income you derive from our real estate rental activities to constitute "passive activity income." Although their opinion is qualified because we have not purchased properties and they cannot determine whether the properties will be considered used in a trade or business rather than held for investment, our managers' counsel has rendered an opinion that it is more likely than not that our income from rental activities will constitute passive activity income. Under the Internal Revenue Code, losses and credits from a "passive activity" are deductible only against the income and gain from other passive activities. Passive activity losses that are not deductible are carried forward and become deductible against future passive activity income or when the taxpayer liquidates his or her interest in the activity. When you dispose of our units or we are liquidated, any passive activity losses that you have not deducted, together with any losses caused by the disposition or liquidation, will be deductible: (1) first against passive income or gain from AEI Fund 24, (2) next against income or gain from other passive activities and (3) lastly against any other income or gain. The interest income we earn on the investment of the proceeds of this offering before we purchase properties and the interest income we earn on other working capital investments will be treated as portfolio income. You will not be able to deduct losses from passive activities (for example, our rental activities) from your share of income we derive from these portfolio income items. Although counsel cannot evaluate the investments we may make and therefore cannot determine in advance whether the income the properties may generate will be portfolio income, we have received an opinion of counsel to our managers that it is more likely than not that interest income on short-term investments and on working capital investments will be portfolio income. [34]

52 MINIMUM TAX. Passive losses, such as operating losses we may generate, are not allowed as a deduction from alternative minimum taxable income to the extent they exceed alternative minimum taxable income from passive activities. The amount of any passive loss that is disallowed is determined after computing all preferences and making all other adjustments to income that apply for minimum tax purposes. Thus, the amount of suspended losses attributable to passive activities may differ for minimum and regular tax purposes. You should consult you tax advisor about the effect of the alternative minimum tax on your tax position. TAX AUDIT, RETURNS AND PENALTIES Our manager will arrange for the preparation and filing of all our tax returns. The manager also will serve as the "tax matters partner" under the Internal Revenue Code. As tax matters partner, our manager will have discretion and authority regarding extensions of time for assessment of additional tax against you caused by AEI Fund 24 and regarding settlement or litigation of controversies involving federal tax. This is significant because controversies regarding determination of taxable income will be resolved, under regulations, through settlement or litigation at the AEI Fund 24 level. You will be required to report any item of income, gain or loss consistently with the way we report the item, unless you include a specific explanation of the inconsistency in your income tax return. If you have an interest of 1% or more in our revenues you will receive notice of any tax controversy from the IRS. You will have the right to participate in settlement or litigation of any tax controversy if such right is exercised timely. If you do not reserve your right to reject settlements accepted by our manager, you will be bound by the settlement. All investors will be bound by the outcome of any litigation that may result. The IRS may assess penalties against you for understatement of tax if there was not "substantial basis" for the treatment claimed by AEI Fund 24. FOREIGN INVESTORS Although this discussion is not intended to describe foreign or federal tax consequences of an investment in AEI Fund 24 by foreign investors, you should understand that the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 taxes nonresident aliens and foreign corporations on gains from the disposition of United States real property interests as if the taxpayers were engaged in a trade or business in the United States. If we dispose of properties or if a foreign investor disposes of units in AEI Fund 24, the foreign investor may be subject to tax and withholding as a result of the disposition. We are required to withhold federal income tax on income allocable to foreign investors (rather than amounts actually distributed to them). The rates of withholding are 35% of the amount of income allocable to a foreign investor that is a corporation and 39.6% of the amount of income allocable to any other foreign investor. We are obliged to make estimated quarterly withholding payments based on annualized taxable income.

53 STATE INCOME TAXES This prospectus does not summarize the state income tax consequences of owning a unit in the various states in which investors may reside or of owning property in the various states in which we may acquire properties. You should consult with your own tax counsel about the state income tax consequences in your state of residence. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER We do not expect a public market for the units to develop. You should not expect to be able to easily sell your units or use them as collateral for a loan. If you wish to transfer units, you might not be able to find a buyer due to market conditions or the general illiquidity of the units. Moreover, if you are able to sell units, depending upon the price negotiated, you might receive less than your original investment. We cannot assure you that the units can be resold for their original purchase price. [35] Our operating agreement allows transfers, other than "permitted transfers," only if they comply with certain safe harbors created by the IRS from treatment of AEI Fund 24 as a "publicly traded partnership" for tax purposes. Our operating agreement also prohibits us from transferring units that you sell unless you confirm, directly and not through a power of attorney, that you knew the repurchase price that we were offering when you agreed to sell the units. The operating agreement provides that your agreement to sell your units without this information is void. Our operating agreement requires this information because our managers believe that investors in affiliated funds have been defrauded into selling units at well below their value by persons who withheld this information. You must also provide us with 15 days written notice before you can complete a sale of your units. We have the right to purchase your units on the same terms you propose to sell them to a third party by notifying you in writing during this 15 day period. This may render it more difficult for you to sell your units. Under our operating agreement, we will require any substituted investor to agree in the instrument of assignment to become an investor and to pay reasonable legal fees and filing costs in connection with his substitution as an investor. We will recognize transfers of units only as of the last day of the month in which we receive written evidence regarding the assignment in form satisfactory to our managers.

54 SUMMARY OF OPERATING AGREEMENT Your rights as a member in AEI Fund 24 are established and governed by the operating agreement that is enclosed with this prospectus as Exhibit A. The subscription agreement that you must sign to invest includes a power of attorney that gives our managers the power to sign the operating agreement on your behalf. This section of the prospectus, together with the sections referenced in the next paragraph below, summaries all of the material provisions of the operating agreement. It is not, however, as complete or as detailed as the Operating Agreement itself. You should carefully review the operating agreement with your advisors. Some provisions of the Operating Agreement are described in other sections of this prospectus: For a discussion of compensation and payments to our managers and their affiliates, see "Compensation to Managers and Affiliates." For a discussion of the distribution of cash and the allocation of profits and losses for tax purposes, see "Cash Distributions and Tax Allocations." For a discussion of investment objectives and policies, see "Investment Objectives and Policies." For a discussion of the liability of our managers for their acts or omissions and the indemnification of the managers, see "Managers-Fiduciary Responsibility." For a discussion of rights of our managers to withdraw, or of or investors to remove a manager , see "Managers-Management." For a discussion of the reports to be received by the investors, see "Reports to Investors." TERM AND DISSOLUTION Our operating agreement provides that we will be dissolved and liquidated at any of the following times or events: December 31, 2051; The decision of investors holding a majority of the units; The final sale or disposition of our assets; [36] The final decree of a court that dissolution is required under law; or If our managers withdraw without a successor either being appointed.
SB-2/A56th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 56th
55 RETURN OF CAPITAL Prior to dissolution and liquidation, you will not have the right to demand the return of your investment unless we are unable to fully utilize the offering proceeds, either by purchasing properties or through joint ventures with other similar programs. VOTING RIGHTS As a limited member, you will have the right to vote on and approve the following matters: Amendments to our operating agreement; Removal of either or both of our managers; Election of a new manager; The sale of all or substantially all of our assets; or Dissolution by our members. Changes in our investment objectives. Investors may vote at a meeting or by written consent. In either case, the vote of the holders of the majority of the units outstanding will decide each matter, except that any amendment to the operating agreement that adversely effects our managers may not be approved without their consent. MEETINGS Periodic meetings of our investors are not required and we currently do not intend to hold meetings. Our managers may, however, call a meeting at any time and are required to call a meeting if investors holding at least 10% of the units properly request a meeting. After receipt of a request for a meeting, our managers are required to send notice to all investors of the meeting within 10 days and hold the meeting at the time requested (which must be more than 15 days and less than 60 days after the request).
SB-2/A57th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 57th
56 REPURCHASE OF UNITS Starting 36 months after the date of this prospectus, and subject to certain conditions discussed in the operating agreement, we will repurchase an investor's unit(s) upon a proper written request. The repurchase price will be equal to 80% of the net value per unit, as estimated by our manager. For these purposes, our manager will base the net value per unit on the discounted present value of the rental income from properties, on the most recent price at which units have been purchased by third parties, or such other method as it believes is reasonable. Our managers will calculate and make available to you on as soon as possible after first business day of January and July of each year the price at which units may be presented for repurchase. Our obligation to repurchase units is limited in any year to 2% of the number of units outstanding at the beginning of the year of repurchase. You will be allowed to present your units for repurchase during two different periods in each year. If you want your units repurchased, you must submit notification of the number of units you want repurchased on a form provided by our manager. You must mail the notice after January 1 but before January 31, or after July 1 but before July 31 of the year of repurchase. If investors tender units totaling more than 2% of the units outstanding at the beginning of the purchase period, we will honor repurchase requests with the earliest postmarks first. We will repurchase units on March 31 and September 30 of each year based on the value at the beginning of the repurchase period. You will not be entitled to distributions from the beginning of the repurchase period to the date of repurchase and any distributions you receive will be deducted from the repurchase price that is paid [37] to you. Any investor who tenders units that are not repurchased must re-tender the units in succeeding periods if he or she wants the request reconsidered. We are not obligated to repurchase any unit(s) if doing so would, in the discretion of our managers, impair our operations. We will fund repurchases out of either revenues otherwise distributable to investors or borrowings. We cannot assure you that revenues or borrowings will be available for repurchases, that we will be able to repurchase any or all of the units tendered, or that our managers will not suspend repurchases. A repurchase will result in smaller distributions to remaining investors in the year of repurchase, but will not result in a reduction of taxable income or gains to such investors. In addition, a repurchase may result in certain adverse tax consequences to the tendering investor.

57 DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN We have established a distribution reinvestment plan for investors who elect in writing to have their distributions of our cash reinvested in additional units during the period of this offering. Our managers, in their discretion, may decide at any time to terminate the reinvestment plan. Our reinvestment plan allows participating investors to directly purchase units at the public offering price of $1,000 per unit. No distributions accruing to an investor who participates in the reinvestment plan prior to release of funds from escrow and execution of the operating agreement will be reinvested. All other distributions to participants in the reinvestment plan will be reinvested within 30 days after the date of the distribution, provided that: the sale of units continues to be registered or qualified for sale under federal and applicable state securities laws; each participant has received a current copy of this prospectus, including any supplements, and has executed a confirmation within one year of such reinvestment indicating his or her intention to purchase units and that he or she continues to satisfy the investor suitability requirements; and there has been no distribution of sales or refinancing proceeds to investors. The reinvestment plan will terminate upon completion of this offering. If one of the requirements described above is not satisfied, distributions will be paid in cash to participants rather than used in the reinvestment plan. If you participate in the reinvestment plan you must agree that, if you at any time fail to meet our suitability standards or cannot make the other investor representations contained in our current prospectus, the subscription agreement, or the operating agreement, you will promptly notify us in writing. You should understand that affirmative action is required to change or withdraw from the reinvestment plan. Change in or withdrawal from participation in the reinvestment plan will be effective only with respect to distributions made 30 days following receipt by our managers of written notice of change or withdrawal. In the event you transfers your units, the transfer will terminate the your participation in the reinvestment plan as of the first day of the quarter in which the transfer is effective.
SB-2/A59th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 59th
58 We will pay selling commissions of up to 10% on units purchased with reinvested distributions. If you participate in the reinvestment plan you will be permitted to identify, change or eliminate the name of your account executive at a participating dealer for any distribution. If you do not identify an account executive, or if your account executive is not employed by a broker-dealer with which we have a dealer agreement, no selling commission will be paid on your reinvested distribution, and we will retain for additional investment in real estate any amounts otherwise payable as commissions. All holders of units, based on the number of units outstanding, will receive the benefit of the savings we realize from investors who do not identify account executives. We will not charge or offset any reinvestment fee against any reinvested distributions under the reinvestment plan. The cost of administering the reinvestment plan will be considered an organization and offering cost and the actual cost of [38] administering the reinvestment plan may be reimbursed to our managers in accordance with the limitations on reimbursements for organization and offering expenses. Following each reinvestment, each participant in the plan will be sent a statement showing the distributions received and the number and price of units issued to the participant. Taxable participants will incur tax liability for income allocated to them even though they have elected not to receive their distributions in cash but rather to have their distributions reinvested in the purchase of units. We reserve the right to amend any aspect of the reinvestment plan, or to terminate the reinvestment plan, with respect to any distribution of cash flow subsequent to notice of such amendment or termination, provided that notice is sent to all participants in the plan at least 10 days prior to the record date for the distribution. Our managers also reserve the right to assign the administrative duties of the reinvestment plan to a reinvestment agent who may hold units on behalf of participants, provide reports to participants, and satisfy other record keeping requirements. Investors may also be given the opportunity to reinvest distributions from AEI Fund 24 in interests of a program having substantially identical investment objectives as AEI Fund 24, if affiliates of our managers publicly offer the program interests after the termination of the offering of units under this prospectus. Investors would be allowed to reinvest distributions from AEI Fund 24 in a subsequent program only if each of the following conditions are satisfied: the subsequent program is registered under federal and applicable state securities laws; the subsequent program has substantially identical investment objectives;
SB-2/A60th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 60th
59 reinvesting investors are afforded the revocation rights described above with respect to such reinvestments and the payment of commissions on such reinvestments; and each participating investor receives the prospectus relating to such subsequent program and satisfies the investment qualifications, including minimum investment requirements, for such subsequent offering. Our managers are not obligated to continue the offering of units or to offer units in any subsequent real estate programs or permit reinvestment therein. LIABILITIES OF INVESTORS You will not be liable for any of our obligations in excess of the capital you agree to contribute by signing a subscription agreement, plus your share of undistributed net income. If, however, you receive a return of your capital contribution you will be liable, for a period of one year if the capital contribution was returned, for any obligations to creditors who extended credit, or whose claims arose, before your capital contribution was returned, but not in excess of the returned capital contribution with interest, necessary to discharge the liabilities. You will not have the right to a return of your capital contributions except in accordance with the distribution and repurchase provisions of our operating agreement. RIGHTS, POWER AND DUTIES OF THE MANAGERS Our managers will have the exclusive right to manage our business. Our managers will be responsible for the selection, acquisition, sale, refinancing and leasing of all our properties. The rights, powers and duties of our managers may be delegated or contracted to an affiliate of the managers at cost. AEI Fund Management XXI, Inc. will initially serve as our manager. SUBSTITUTED INVESTORS; ASSIGNEES You will not have the right to substitute an investor in your place unless you have represented to us that you have received information necessary to make a decision to assign your units, including information about the most recent repurchase [39] price units, and unless the substituted investor has agreed in the instrument of assignment to become an investor, has paid all expenses in connection with admission as a substituted investor. An assignee who does not become a substitute investor will only have the right to receive the distributions from AEI Fund 24 to which the assigning investor would have been entitled if no such assignment had been made. The assignee will have no right to require any information or account from us or to inspect our books.

60 APPOINTMENT OF MANAGERS AS ATTORNEYS-IN-FACT By signing the subscription agreement, you will irrevocably constitute and appoint our managers as your attorney-in-fact, with power to execute documents necessary to carry out the provisions of our operating agreement. "ROLL-UPS" Our operating agreement prohibits transactions in which units are required to be exchanged for securities of another entity (as defined in the operating agreement as a "roll-up") unless certain rights of the investors are maintained in the resulting entity and unless a vote of the majority of our investors is obtained. The operating agreement defines a roll-up to include certain transactions involving the acquisition, merger, conversion, or consolidation, either directly or indirectly, of AEI Fund 24 and the issuance of securities from another entity. This definition comports with requirements under certain state securities laws but differs slightly from definitions used by the SEC and may differ from definitions contained in rules or legislation promulgated in the future. The determination of whether a transaction constitutes a roll-up will, in the first instance, be made by our managers. Our operating agreement provides, in material part, that we may not participate in any roll-up that would: reduce the democracy rights of our investors; impede the ability of the equity owners of the resulting entity to purchase the securities of that entity; limit the voting rights of our investors as equity owners of the resulting entity; limit rights to access to records of the resulting entity; or provide, without the consent of investors, that the costs of the roll-up are to be borne by AEI Fund 24. Further, our operating agreement requires that we obtain an appraisal by a competent independent expert of our assets, based on all available information and assuming an orderly liquidation of our assets, in connection with any roll-up that we summarize for investors. If the appraisal is included in a roll-up prospectus, it must be filed with securities authorities and we will have liability for misrepresentations or omissions that it contains. A roll-up requires the vote of holders of not less than a majority of the units. Our operating agreement provides that an investor who votes against the roll-up must be given the option of accepting securities in the resulting entity or accepting either cash for the investor's units at the pro rata appraised value of our assets or the ability to retain the investor's interest in AEI Fund 24 on the same terms and conditions as existed previously.

61 REPORTS TO INVESTORS Our books and records will be maintained at our principal offices and will be open for examination and inspection by our investors during reasonable business hours. We will furnish a list of names and addresses and number of units held by investors to any investor who requests the list in writing for a proper purpose, with costs of photocopying and postage to be borne by the requesting investor. The assignee of an investor does not have a right to receive any reports unless the assignee is admitted as a substitute member in accordance with our operating agreement. [40] Within 75 days after the close of each taxable year, we will distribute both to investors and assignees of investor interests who held the assignment interest during the relevant tax period, all information relating to AEI Fund 24, consisting of a Form K-1 report, that is necessary for the preparation of their federal income tax returns. Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, we will also distribute to you an annual report containing a balance sheet and statements of operations, changes in members' equity and cash flows (which will be prepared on a GAAP basis of accounting and will be examined and reported upon by an independent public accountant) and a report of our activities during the period reported upon. The annual report will describe all reimbursements to our managers and their affiliates and all distributions to investors, including the source of the payments. The annual report will also include our manager's estimate of the value of a unit in the Company, a statement of the method used to develop this estimated value, and the date of the data used to develop the estimated value.

Our managers are permitted to combine such reports so long as they are distributed in a timely manner. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION We are offering, through AEI Securities, as the manager of a syndicate of broker-dealers that will solicit purchase of units, $50,000,000 of our limited liability company interests in the form of 50,000 units of $1,000 each. You must purchase a minimum of two and one-half units ($2,500) to invest, except that IRAs and other tax-qualified plans will be permitted to purchase two units ($2,000). The offering period will commence on the date of this prospectus. We will not sell any units unless we receive subscriptions for at least 1,500 within one year after the date of this prospectus. To invest, you will be required to accept and adopt the provisions of the operating agreement attached to this prospectus as Exhibit A and to complete and sign the subscription agreement attached as Exhibit D. At the time you submit a subscription agreement, you must submit a check for $1,000 for each Unit you are purchasing. Checks should be made payable to "Fidelity Bank-AEI Fund 24 Escrow." We will sell units to you only if you represent in writing that, at the time you sign the subscription agreement, you meet the suitability requirements described under "How to Invest" above. We will deposit all funds received from investors in an escrow account with the Fidelity Bank, Edina, Minnesota until $1,500,000 has been deposited. Purchases by our managers and their affiliates will not be counted for purposes of meeting this minimum. If the required $1,500,000 has not been deposited within one year after the date of this prospectus, all subscriptions will be canceled and all funds will be promptly returned to investors with interest and without any deduction. An investor may not withdraw his funds from the escrow account. When we have received subscriptions for the minimum number of units, our [41] managers may remove funds from escrow and instruct the escrow agent to pay accrued selling commissions. After this initial release from escrow, the escrow account will convert to a convenience clearing account for our use.

63 Upon admission to AEI Fund 24, you will receive your pro rata share of any interest earned on escrowed funds based on the date of deposit of your subscription payment. Escrow funds will be invested in insured deposits with a financial institution and will earn interest at short-term deposit rates. Following first admission, we will admit additional investors as limited members on or before the first business day of each month until the termination of the offering. Only subscribers whose subscriptions have been received and accepted at least five business days prior to each admittance date will be admitted as limited members on such date. Our managers have complete discretion to reject any subscription agreement within 30 days of its submission. Funds from a rejected subscriber will be returned within 10 days after rejection. Subscriptions may be rejected for an investor's failure to meet the suitability requirements, an over- subscription of the offering, or for other reasons determined to be in the best interest of AEI Fund 24. Our managers and their affiliates may purchase units, without limitation, on the same terms as other investors. Any purchase by the managers or affiliates will be for investment and not for redistribution. AEI Securities, and other broker-dealers that are members of the NASD as "participating dealers," have agreed to use their "best efforts" to sell the units. None of these broker-dealers are obligated to purchase units and resell them or to sell any or all of the units. Participating dealers in the offering will offer and sell units on the same terms and conditions as AEI Securities. We will pay AEI Securities selling commissions and a non-accountable expense allowance totaling 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of units, all or a portion of which it will repay to participating dealers. AEI Securities may also receive up to one-half of 1% of the gross offering proceeds for the reimbursement of due diligence expenses of the participating dealers, all of which will be repaid by AEI Securities to the participating dealers. We will not pay any other incentive fees, wholesaling costs or other expense reimbursement or commission for sales efforts. We will indemnify the broker-dealers that act as participating dealers and their controlling persons, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. As of the date of this prospectus, no broker-dealers have entered into a Participating Dealer Agreement. We will also reimburse our managers for certain expenses incurred by them in connection with the supervision and monitoring of the organizational and pre-sale activities of AEI Fund 24.

All of such capital contributions will be available for the general use of the Company during such period and may be expended in operating the Properties that have been acquired.

To the extent any funds have been reserved to make contingent payments in connection with any Property pursuant to a written contractual agreement in connection with such Property or pursuant to a reasonable decision of the Managing Members that additional reserves are necessary in connection with any Property, regardless of whether any such payment is ultimately made, subscription funds will not be returned to the Limited Members. 4.6 LOANS TO COMPANY; NO INTEREST ON CAPITAL. The Members may make loans to the Company from time to time, as authorized by the Managing Member, in excess of their contributions to the capital of the Company, and any such loans shall not be treated as a contribution to the capital of the Company for any purpose hereunder, nor shall any such loans entitle such Member to any increase in his or her share of the profits and losses and cash distributions of the Company, nor shall any such loans constitute a lien against the Properties. The amount of any such loans with interest thereon at a rate determined by the Managing Member, in its absolute discretion, but not to exceed the rate that otherwise would be charged by unaffiliated lending institutions on comparable loans for the same purpose, shall be an obligation of the Company to such Member. The Managing Members or their Affiliates may loan funds to the Company during the offering period for the purpose of acquiring a Property. Interest on such loans shall not be in excess of the rate that either would be charged by an unrelated lending A-7 institution on comparable loans for the same purpose in the same locality of the Properties or represents the cost of funds of the Managing Members or their Affiliates.

(e) The Company shall pay a commission in connection with any reinvestment pursuant to the plan to any broker-dealer designated by the Participant in the plan. If no broker-dealer is designated or the Limited Member has advised the Company that he or she desires that such commissions not be paid, or if the designated broker-dealer has not signed a dealer agreement with respect to the Company, or if the broker-dealer is no longer qualified under applicable law to engage in the solicitation of the sale of such Company interests, then no commission shall be paid and all Limited Members in the Company shall be credited with a pro rata portion of the commission not so paid. No fees shall be paid to the Company or the Managing Members at the time of any such reinvestment, but the Managing Members of the Company may be reimbursed for the Cost incurred in making such reinvestment, in accordance with the provisions of this agreement.

SB-2/A93rd Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 93rd
92 5.1 ALLOCATION OF INCOME, PROFITS, GAINS AND LOSSES. For income tax purposes, income, profits, gains and losses of the Company for each fiscal year, other than any gain or loss realized upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of any Property, using such methods of accounting for depreciation and other items as the Managing Member determines to use for federal income tax purposes, shall be allocated as of the end of each fiscal year to each Member based on his or her varying interest in the Company during such fiscal year. The Company shall determine, in the discretion of the Managing Member and as recommended by the Company auditors, whether to prorate items of income and deduction according to the portion of the year for which a Member was a member of the Company or whether to close the books on an interim basis and divide such fiscal year into segments.

(b) Subject to Section 5.6, any loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of any Property will be allocated 99% to the Limited Members and 1% to the Managing Members. 5.4 DISTRIBUTION OF NET PROCEEDS OF SALE. Upon refinancing, sale or other disposition of any of the Properties, Net Proceeds of Sale may be reinvested in additional properties; provided, however, that sufficient cash is distributed to the Limited Members to pay state and federal income taxes (assuming Limited Members are taxable at a marginal rate of 7% above the federal capital gains rate applicable to individuals) created as a result of such transaction. Except for distributions upon liquidation of the Company (which are governed by Section 12.3 of this agreement), Net Proceeds of Sale that are not reinvested in additional properties will be distributed as follows: (a) First, 99% to the Limited Members and 1% to the Managing Members until the Limited Members have received an amount from Net Proceeds of Sale equal to the sum of (i) an amount equal to a 7% per annum return on their Adjusted Capital Contributions, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent such 7% return has not been previously distributed to them pursuant to Section 5.2 and this Section 5.4(a), plus (ii) their Adjusted Capital Contributions.

Reg. 1.704-2(b)(2) and 1.704- 2(d)) determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. 1.704-2(f)(6) A-10 and 1.704-2(j)(2). This paragraph (a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treas. Reg. 1.704- 2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (b) MEMBER MINIMUM GAIN CHARGEBACK. Except as otherwise provided in Treas. Reg. 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of these Regulatory Allocations, if there is a net decrease in Member nonrecourse debt minimum gain, as defined in Treas.

SB-2/A96th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 96th
95 (c) QUALIFIED INCOME OFFSET. If a Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treas. Reg. s 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), and such unexpected adjustment, allocation or distribution puts such Member's capital account into a deficit balance or increases such deficit balance determined after such account is credited by any amounts which the Member is obligated to restore or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Treas. Reg. 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) and debited by the items described in Treas. Reg. 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) and for all other allocations tentatively made pursuant to these Regulatory Allocations as if this paragraph (c) were not in this agreement, such Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit or increase as quickly as possible. It is intended that this paragraph (c) shall meet the requirement that this agreement contain a "qualified income offset" as defined in Treas. Reg. 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and this Section shall be interpreted and applied consistently therewith. (d) GROSS INCOME ALLOCATION. In the event any Member has a deficit capital account at the end of any fiscal year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this agreement, and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treas. Reg. 1.704- 2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit capital account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in these Regulatory Allocations have been made as if paragraph (c) and this paragraph (d) were not in the Agreement. (e) NONRECOURSE DEDUCTIONS. Nonrecourse deductions, within the meaning of Treas. Reg. 1.704-2(b)(1), for any fiscal year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Members in proportion to their Units. (f) MEMBER NONRECOURSE DEDUCTIONS.

SB-2/A97th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 97th
96 (g) SECTION 754 ADJUSTMENT. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Sections 732, 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treas. Reg. 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or (4), to be taken into account in determining capital accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the capital accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their capital accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Sections of the Treasury Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this paragraph. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of these Regulatory Allocations (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Managing Member shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member's capital account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the capital account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 12.1 and Section 12.2. In exercising its discretion under this paragraph, the Managing Member shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections paragraphs (a) and (b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under paragraphs (e) and (f). 5.7 LIMITATION ON LOSS ALLOCATION. Notwithstanding anything in Sections 5.1 above, losses allocated pursuant to Section 5.1 shall not exceed the maximum amount of losses that can be so allocated without causing a Member to have an adjusted capital account deficit at the end of any fiscal year. In the event one of the Members would have an adjusted capital account deficit as a consequence of an allocation of losses pursuant to Section 5.1, the limitation set forth herein shall be applied on a Member by Member basis so as to allocate the maximum permissible losses to each Member under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations. All losses in excess of the foregoing limitation shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Units. 5.8 ALLOCATION AMONG MANAGING MEMBERS.

98 6.2 REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.2(b), the Company shall reimburse the Managing Members and their affiliates at their Cost: (i) for any expenditures of their own funds for purposes of organizing the Company and arranging for the offer and sale of Units (including commissions); (ii) for all Acquisition Expenses incurred by them, (iii) for the services they provide in the sales effort of the Properties, and (iv) for the expenses of controlling persons and overhead expenses directly attributable to the forgoing services or attributable to Administrative Services (which overhead expenses shall be allocated based upon the amount of time personnel actually spend providing such services, or such other method of allocation as is acceptable to the Company's independent public accountant). In addition, the Company shall reimburse the Managing Members and their affiliates at their Cost for Administrative Expenses necessary for the prudent operation of the Company, provided that any expenses of controlling persons and overhead expenses included in such Administrative Expense reimbursements shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.2(b). (b) The aggregate cumulative reimbursements pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) to (iv) to the Managing Members and their Affiliates, will not exceed, at the end of any fiscal year, the sum of (i) the Front-End Fees of up to 20% of capital contributions, (ii) property management fees of up to 1% of Net Cash Flow, except for a one time initial leasing fee of 3% of the gross revenues on each lease payable over the first five full years of the original term of the lease, (iii) real estate commission of 3% of Net Proceeds of Sale of properties on which the Managing Members or Affiliates furnish a substantial amount of sales efforts, and (iv) 10% of Net Cash Flow less the Net Cash Flow actually distributed to the Managing Members.

If the Managing Members and their Affiliates receive reimbursement for items set forth in Section 6.2(a)(i) to (iv) in excess of the limitations set forth in this section, they will refund the difference to the Company within 30 days of discovery of such excess. Such review shall not take into account any of the fees that might be paid in years after the fiscal year for which the calculation is made. (c) The Company's annual report to Limited Members will contain information concerning reimbursements made to the Managing Member and its Affiliates. Within the scope of the annual audit, an independent certified public accountant shall verify the allocation of costs to the Company. The methods of verification shall be in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and shall, accordingly, include such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures that the Managing Member's independent certified public accountants consider appropriate in the circumstances. Such methods of verification shall at a minimum provide: (i) a review of the time records of employees and control persons, the costs of A-13
SB-2/A100th Page of 124TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 100th
99 whose services were reimbursed and (ii) a review of the specific nature of the work performed by each such employee and control person. The additional cost of such verification will be itemized by such accountant on a program-for-program basis, and the Managing Members will be reimbursed for such additional cost only to the extent that the cost of such verification, when added to all reimbursements to the Managing Members for services rendered to the Company, does not exceed the competitive price for such services which would be charged by non-affiliated persons rendering similar services in the same or comparable geographic location. (d) The Managing Members and their Affiliates will not be reimbursed or otherwise paid for any services except as set forth in Section 6.2(a). 6.3 OTHER ACTIVITIES OF MANAGING MEMBERS.

Nothing in this section shall be deemed to diminish the Managing Member's overriding fiduciary obligation to the Company, or to constitute a waiver of any right or remedy the Company or Limited Members may have in the event of a breach by a Managing Member of such obligation. 6.4 INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY OF MANAGING MEMBERS. (a) The Company shall indemnify each of the Managing Members and their Affiliates (other than an Affiliate that is acting in the capacity of a Broker-Dealer selling Units) against any claim or liability incurred or imposed upon such Managing Member or such Affiliates provided such Managing Member or Affiliate was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company and the Managing Member has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Company, and such conduct of the Managing Member or Affiliate did not constitute misconduct or negligence. The Managing Members or Affiliates shall not be liable to the Company or any Member by reason of any act or omission of such Managing Member or Affiliate provided the Managing Member has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Company, and such conduct of the Managing Member or Affiliate did not constitute misconduct or negligence. Solely for purposes of this Section 6.4, but for all such purposes, the term "Affiliate" shall mean only those Affiliates, as defined in Section 2.5, that furnish services to the Company within the scope of the Managing Members' authority.

100 (b) No Managing Member or Affiliate or any Broker-Dealer selling Units shall be indemnified for any liability imposed by judgment, or costs associated therewith, including attorneys' fees, arising from or out of a violation of state or federal securities laws. The Managing Members and such Affiliates, and such Broker-Dealers, shall be indemnified for settlements and related expenses of lawsuits alleging securities law violations, and for expenses incurred in successfully defending such lawsuits, provided that the party seeking indemnification places before the court the position of the Massachusetts Securities Division, of the Missouri Securities Division, of the Pennsylvania Securities Commission, of the administrator of other relevant state securities laws and of the Securities and Exchange Commission on indemnification for securities law violations, and the court thereafter either: (i) approves the settlement and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made, or (ii) approves indemnification of litigation costs if a successful defense is made. A-14 Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.4, or otherwise, shall be recoverable only from the assets of the Company and not from any of the Limited Members. No Managing Member or Affiliate shall be entitled to advances for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of legal action initiated against the Managing Members or Affiliate unless (1) the action relates to the performance of the duties of such Managing Member or Affiliate on behalf of the Company, (2) the action is not initiated by a Limited Member, and (iii) the Managing Member or Affiliate undertakes to repay such advances in cases in which it is determined they are not entitled to indemnification. (c) The Managing Member shall have fiduciary responsibility for the safekeeping and use of all funds and assets of the Company, whether or not in its immediate possession or control, and the Managing Member shall not employ, or permit another to employ, such funds or assets in any manner except for the exclusive benefit of the Company. The Managing Members and the Company may not permit the Limited Members to contract away the fiduciary duty owed to the Limited Members by the Managing Members under the common law.

A-20 7.7 RIGHT TO PRESENT UNITS FOR PURCHASE. (a) Beginning 36 months from the date of the Prospectus, each Limited Member shall have the right, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.7, to present his or her Units to the Company for purchase by submitting notice on a form supplied by the Company to the Managing Member specifying the number of Units he or she wishes repurchased. Such notice must be postmarked after January 1 but before January 31, and after July 1 but before July 31 of each year.

In the event requests for purchase of Units received in any given year exceed the two percent (2%) limitation, the Units to be purchased will be determined based on the postmark date of the written notice of Limited Members tendering Units. Any Units tendered but not selected for purchase in any given year will be considered for purchase in subsequent years only if the Limited Member retenders his or her Units. In no event shall the Company be obligated to purchase Units if, in the sole discretion of the Managing Member, such purchase would impair the capital or operation of the Company nor shall the Company purchase any Units in violation of applicable legal requirements.

109 (b) For purposes of all calculations pursuant to Article V of this agreement, any Net Cash Flow or Net Proceeds of Sale used to repurchase Units or to repay borrowings that were used to repurchase Units shall be deemed distributed to the remaining Limited Members pro rata based on the ratio of the number of Units owned to all Units outstanding after such repurchase. 7.8 VOTING RIGHTS. To the extent permitted under the Limited Liability Company Act, as amended, the Limited Members may, by vote of a majority of the outstanding Units (excluding Units held by the Managing Members for their own accounts), and without the concurrence of the Managing Members: (1) amend this Operating Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Article XI; (2) remove the Managing Member and elect a new Managing Member in accordance with Section 10.4 of this agreement; (3) approve or disapprove the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (4) dissolve the Company in accordance with Section 12.1(g).

112 8.10 INVESTOR LIST. In addition to the other records maintained by the Company, the Company shall maintain at all times, in alphabetical order and on white paper with printing in not less than 10 point type, a list of Limited Members, including the names, addresses and business telephone numbers of the Limited Members and the number of Units held by each, which shall be updated at least quarterly to reflect changes in the information contained therein. The list of Limited Members shall be available for inspection by any Limited Member or such Limited Member's designated agent at the office of the Company upon request of such Limited Member. In addition, a copy of the Limited Member list shall be mailed to any Limited Member requesting the same within ten (10) days of the receipt of a written request. The Company may charge a reasonable fee to such Limited Member to cover the costs of reproduction and postage. The purposes for which such list may be requested by the Limited Members shall include, without limitation, matters relating to voting rights of the Limited Members and the exercise of rights of the Limited Members under federal proxy laws. If the Managing Member neglects or refuses to exhibit, produce or mail a copy of the Limited Member list as requested, the Managing Member shall be liable for the costs, including attorneys' fees, incurred by the Limited Member in compelling the production of the list and for the actual damages suffered by the Limited Member by reason of such refusal or neglect. It shall be a defense that the actual purpose and reason for the request for inspection or for a copy of the Limited Member list is to secure such list or other information for the purpose of selling such list or copies thereof, or of using the same for a commercial purpose other than in the interest of the applicant as a Limited Member relative to the affairs of the Company. The Managing Member may require the Limited Member requesting such list to represent that the list is not requested for a commercial purpose unrelated to the Limited Member's interest in the Company. For all such purposes, the acquisition of additional Units shall be considered a commercial purpose unrelated to the Limited Member's interest in the Company. The Managing Member may also require, as a condition to making such list available, (i) that the list be requested under the signature of the Limited Member of record rather than a person or entity holding a power of attorney for such Limited Member; and (ii) whenever the list will be used to solicit purchases of Units, that the requesting Limited Member agree to provide materials to the persons solicited, and to the Managing Member for review and comment prior to use, generally complying with the disclosure requirements of A-23 Section 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 14d-6 promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, the price at which the Fund last agreed to repurchase Units and the price at which Units were last purchased in any secondary trading service that is published, prominently displayed in type size no less than 14 point; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Managing Member may not refuse to provide the list if the materials contain the foregoing information because it is not otherwise satisfied with the materials to be sent. The remedies set forth in this section 8.10 shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, remedies available to Limited Members under federal law, or the laws of any state.

113 IX. ASSIGNMENT OF LIMITED MEMBER'S INTEREST The Company interest of a Limited Member shall be represented by a Certificate of Participation. The form and content of the Certificate of Participation shall be determined by the Managing Member. The Company interest of a Limited Member may not be assigned, pledged, mortgaged, sold or otherwise disposed of, and no Limited Member shall have the right to substitute an assignee in his or her place, except as provided in this Article IX. 9.1 LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER RELATED TO TAX STATUS. Other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, no Limited Member shall transfer or assign any part of his or her interest in the Company, and no such transfer or assignment shall be recognized by the Company but shall be null and void, if such transfer or assignment, when added to all other transfers or assignments made during the same fiscal year, other than (A) Permitted Transfers, (B) Qualified Matching Service Transfers, or (C) transfers pursuant to the repurchase provisions of section 7.7 of this agreement, would constitute transfers of in excess of two percent (2%) of Company interests outstanding. The Managing Member may request such information from a transferring Limited Member as is necessary to determine whether a transfer is a Permitted Transfer or a Qualified Matching Service Transfer. The Managing Member may refuse to affect any transfer if the transferring Limited Member is unable, or refuses, to demonstrate that the transfer is a Permitted Transfer or Qualified Matching Service Transfer or if the Managing Member is not able to verify, to its satisfaction, that the transfer will qualify for a safe harbor under Treasury Regulation 1.7704-1(e) or (g). 9.2 PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRANSFER FRAUD. No Limited Member shall be obligated to sell, assign or transfer any Units or any other interest in the Company, prior to receipt of adequate disclosure relating to the Company. The Company shall provide to any Limited Member, upon request and without charge, prior to the date of any transfer, copies of the most recent reports (forms 10-Q, 10-K etc.) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, together with information relating to the Net Value Per Unit as of the most recent Determination Date. Other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, no Limited Member shall transfer any part of his or her interest in the Company, and no such transfer or assignment or any agreement executed by a Limited Member with respect to such transfer or assignment shall be recognized by the Company but shall be null and void, unless such Limited Member shall have confirmed in writing to the Managing Member that he or she received and reviewed such information relating to Net Value Per Unit at least 24 hours prior to execution of any such agreement of transfer, and has received copies of such reports as he or she may have requested. For purposes of the foregoing, confirmation on behalf of a Limited Member by power of attorney shall not be effective unless the attorney so appointed provides proof acceptable to the Managing Member of the Limited Member's incapacity to provide confirmation directly.

114 9.3 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Except with respect to (A) Permitted Transfers, (B) Qualified Matching Service Transfers, or (C) transfers pursuant to the repurchase provisions of section 7.7 of this agreement, no Member (the "Offering Member") may assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or any part of any Unit directly or indirectly unless such Member shall give have given notice ("Offer Notice") in writing to the Company, setting A-24 forth the number of Units (the "Offered Units") to be Transferred, the consideration (the "Offer Price") for which such Units would be Transferred and the name of the proposed transferee. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company shall have the right to purchase all but not less than all of the Offered Units at the Offer Price. The Company may exercise such right by delivering to the Offering Member its election to exercise within 15 days after the date on which the Company has received the Offer Notice. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.1 (which shall be controlling), the closing of any such purchase by the Company shall occur within 60 days of such exercise by delivery of payment on the same terms as specified in the Offer Notice. Offered Units purchased by the Company shall be canceled. Unless all Units are purchased pursuant to the option granted in this Section 9.3, the Offering Member shall be free, for a period of 90 days after the expiration of such fifteen day period, to sell the Offered Units to the proposed transferee on the same terms as were described in the Offer Notice. Unless the transfer is approved by the Managing Member in accordance with this Article IX and the transferee acknowledges in writing that he, she or it is bound by the terms of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.5, the transferee shall not become a Member of the Company but shall only be an assignee of the financial rights of his, her or its assignor. Any Member who transfers all of his, her or its financial rights shall cease to be a Member of the Company. All notices shall be in writing. 9.4 TRANSFERS. Except as provided in Section 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3, each Limited Member may transfer or assign all or part of his or her interest in the Company as provided in the Limited Liability Company Act; provided, however, that no transfer or assignment shall be effective until written notice thereof is received by the Managing Member and the Managing Member approves such transfer or assignment. Such approval shall be granted unless the Managing Member determines that the transfer will cause a violation of the provisions of this agreement, including the percentage limitations referred to in Section 9.1 above and the provisions of section 9.2 or 9.3. In any case that a transfer is not permitted for any reason other than pursuant to the limitations set forth in section 9.1, 9.2 or 9.3, the decision to prohibit the transfer shall be supported by an opinion of counsel. All transfers or assignments of interests in the Company occurring during any month shall be deemed effective (i.e., the transferee shall become a Limited Member of record) on the last day of the calendar month in which written notice thereof is received by the Managing Member.

115 9.5 ADMISSION OF ASSIGNEE AS MEMBER.

If a Limited Member dies, his or her executor, administrator or trustee, or if he or she is adjudged incompetent or insane, his or her committee guardian or conservator, or if he or she becomes bankrupt, the receiver or trustee of his or her estate, shall have the rights of a Limited Member for the purpose of settling or managing his or her estate and such power as the decedent or incompetent possessed to assign all or any part of his or her Units and to join with the assignee thereof in satisfying conditions precedent to such assignee becoming a substitute Limited Member. The death, dissolution or adjudication of incompetency or bankruptcy of a Limited Member shall not dissolve the Company. A-25 9.8 DOCUMENTS AND EXPENSES. As a condition to admission as a substitute Limited Member, an assignee of all or part of the Company interest of any Limited Member or the legatee or distributee of all or any part of the Company interest of any Limited Member shall execute and acknowledge such instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing Member, as the Managing Member shall deem necessary or advisable to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of the person being admitted as such substitute Limited Member to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this agreement. Such assignee, legatee or distributee shall pay all reasonable expenses, not exceeding $100, in connection with such admission as a substitute Limited Member. 9.9 ACQUIT COMPANY. In the absence of written notice to the Company of any assignment of a Company interest, any payment to the assigning Member or his or her executors, administrators or representatives shall acquit the Company of liability to the extent of such payment to any other person who may have an interest in such payment by reason of an assignment by the Member or by reason of such Member's death or otherwise.

116 9.10 RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, no sale or exchange of a Company interest may be made if the interest sought to be sold or exchanged, when added to the total of all other Company interests sold or exchanged within the period of 12 consecutive months prior thereto, would result in the termination of the Company under section 708 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (or any successor section). 9.11 ENDORSEMENT ON CERTIFICATE. The foregoing provisions governing the assignment of the Company interest of a Limited Member shall be indicated by an endorsement on the certificate evidencing such Limited Member's interest in the Company, in the form as determined from time to time by the Managing Member. X. DEATH, WITHDRAWAL, EXPULSION AND REPLACEMENT OF THE MANAGING MEMBERS 10.1 DEATH. In the event of the death of the Special Managing Member, the estate of the Special Managing Member shall assume all of his obligations under this agreement and be responsible for their discharge. The estate may elect to withdraw from the Company only upon satisfaction of the conditions in Section 10.2 applicable to the Special Managing Member. 10.2 WITHDRAWAl. The Managing Member may not withdraw from the Company without first providing 90 days' written notice to the Limited Members of its intent to so withdraw and providing a substitute Managing Member to the Company that shall be accepted by a vote of not less than a majority, by interest, of the Limited Members (excluding any Limited Company Units held by any Managing Member for its own account); provided, however, that nothing in this agreement shall be deemed to prevent the merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Managing Member into or with a successor entity controlled by, or under common control with, a Managing Member, and such successor entity shall be deemed to be the Managing Member of the Company for all purposes and effects and shall succeed to and enjoy all rights and benefits and bear all obligations and burdens conferred or imposed hereunder upon the Managing Member. The Limited Members shall vote to accept or reject the proposed substitute Managing Member in person or by proxy at a meeting called by the Managing Member for such purpose in accordance with Section 11.1 of this agreement. The Special Managing Member may not withdraw from the Company prior to December 31, 2002. 10.3 EXPULSION.

This section does not limit the right of the Limited Members to remove the Managing Members upon a majority vote of the Limited Members. 10.4 REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF MANAGING MEMBERS. In the event of (i) the wrongful withdrawal of a Managing Member or the expulsion of a Managing Member under circumstances that the Company lacks a Managing Member or (ii) the written proposal of Limited Members holding 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Units, and upon providing not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' written notice by certified mail to all Members, the Limited Members may call a meeting of the Company for the purpose of removing or replacing any or all of the Managing Members. At such meetings, any of the Managing Members may be removed or replaced without cause by a vote (rendered in person or by proxy) of a majority, by interest, of the Limited Members (excluding Units held by the Managing Members for their own accounts). 10.5 PAYMENT FOR REMOVED MANAGING MEMBER'S INTEREST. Upon the expulsion, withdrawal or removal of a Managing Member, the Company shall pay to the terminated Managing Member all amounts then accrued and owing to the terminated Managing Member and an amount equal to the then present fair market value of the terminated Managing Member's interest in the Company determined by agreement of the terminated Managing Member and the Company, or, if they cannot agree, by arbitration in accordance with the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association. The expense of arbitration shall be borne equally by the terminated Managing Member and the Company. The fair market value of the terminated Managing Member's interest shall be the amount the terminated Managing Member would receive upon dissolution and termination of the Company assuming that such dissolution or termination occurred on the date of the terminating event and the assets of the Company were sold for their then fair market value without any compulsion on the part of the Company to sell such assets. In the case of a voluntary withdrawal, the withdrawing Managing Member shall be paid the fair market value of its or his interest by the issuance by the Company of a non-interest bearing unsecured promissory note providing for payment of principal from distributions that the withdrawing Managing Member otherwise would have been entitled to receive under this agreement had such Managing Member not withdrawn. In the case of an involuntary termination, the terminated Managing Member shall be paid the fair market value of its or his interest by the issuance by the Company of a promissory note with a five year maturity payable in five equal installments of principal and interest at the prevailing market rate of interest.

Written notice of the meeting shall be given to all Members either personally or by certified mail not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the meeting, but in any case where a meeting is duly called by request of Limited Members, not more than 10 days after receipt of such request. Included in the notice shall be a detailed statement of the action proposed, including a verbatim statement of the wording of any resolution or amendment proposed.

In any event, however, no such amendment shall affect the allocation of economic interests to the Members or alter the allocation of Company management responsibilities and control without the approval of each Managing Member and a majority by interest, of the Limited Members, except as otherwise provided in Article X.

The Registrant undertakes (a) to file, during the period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any prospectuses required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement, (b) that for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act each such post-effective amendment may be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at that time may be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof, (c) that all post-effective amendments will comply with the applicable forms, rules and regulations of the Commission in effect at the time such post- effective amendments are filed, and (d) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain at the termination of the offering. The Registrant undertakes to send to each Limited Member at least on an annual basis a detailed statement of any transactions with the Managing Members or their Affiliates, and of fees, commissions, compensation and other benefits paid, or accrued to the Managing Members or their Affiliates for the fiscal year completed, showing the amount paid or accrued to each recipient and the services performed. The Registrant undertakes to provide to the Limited Members the financial statements required by Form 10-K for the first full fiscal year of operations of the Fund. The Registrant undertakes to file a sticker supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) under the Act during the distribution period describing each property not identified in the prospectus at such time as there arises a reasonable probability that such property will be acquired and to consolidate such information in a post-effective amendment filed at least once every three months, with the information contained in such supplement or post-effective amendment provided simultaneously to the existing Limited Members.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a Managing Member of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by a Managing Member in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
