Russo, Lena Russo, Clifton Russo and Lawrence Russo (collectively, the

(the "Common Stock"), of AMREP Corporation ("Amrep") is hereby amended by adding
thereto the information set forth below in this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D
("Amendment No. 2"). Capitalized terms used herein and not elsewhere defined
shall have the respective meanings provided in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

      Item 3 is hereby supplemented by the addition of the following:

      Albert Russo purchased 146,000 outstanding shares of the Common Stock on
October 23, 2001 and purchased 44,000 outstanding shares of the Common Stock on
November 5, 2001 in privately negotiated transactions. The aggregate
consideration of $1,260,500 was paid from Mr. Russo's personal funds.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

      Item 5(a)(b) and (c) is hereby supplemented by the addition of the
following:

      (a), (b) The aggregate percentage of shares of the Common Stock reported

shares deemed outstanding, which number is the sum of 6,573,586 shares
outstanding at September 14, 2001, as reported in Amrep's Form 10-Q for the
fiscal quarterly period ended July 31, 2001, as filed with the Securities and

subject to the decision of the Reporting Persons to act as a group as reported
in the Schedule 13D, voting power with respect to all of the shares of Common
Stock reported as being beneficially owned by him or her. The shares of Common

      As of the date hereof:

      (i) Albert Russo owns 672,741 shares of the Common Stock (including 2,500

      (iv) Lawrence Russo owns 255,122 shares of the Common Stock, constituting

      (c) On October 5, 2001 Amrep issued to Albert Russo an option under
Amrep's Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors to purchase 500 shares of the
Common Stock at a price of $3.95 per share. This option will first become
exercisable on October 5, 2002.

      On October 23, 2001 Albert Russo purchased 146,000 shares of the Common
Stock from a third party in a privately negotiated transaction at a purchase
price of $6.75 per share.

      On October 31, 2001, Albert Russo reached an agreement to purchase and,
