                         Independent Accountants' Report


The Board of Directors
GE Capital Mortgage Services, Inc.:

We have examined  management's  assertion  about GE Capital  Mortgage  Services,
Inc.'s  (the  Company's)   compliance  with  the  minimum  servicing   standards
identified  in the Mortgage  Bankers  Association  of America's  Uniform  Single
Attestation  Program for  Mortgage  Bankers  (USAP) for primary  serviced  loans
(including  those  serviced  by the  Company  pursuant  to various  pooling  and
servicing  agreements  relating to the Company's publicly rated  mortgage-backed
securities  program) as of and for the year ended  December 31, 1997 included in
the  accompanying  management  assertion.  Management  is  responsible  for  the
Company's compliance with those minimum servicing standards.  Our responsibility
is  to  express  an  opinion  on  management's  assertion  about  the  Company's
compliance based on our examination.

Our  examination  was  made in  accordance  with  standards  established  by the
American  Institute of Certified Public Accountants and,  accordingly,  included
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence about the CompanyOs  compliance  with the
minimum  servicing   standards  and  performing  such  other  procedures  as  we
considered  necessary  in the  circumstances.  We believe  that our  examination
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.  Our examination does not provide a
legal  determination  on the  Company's  compliance  with the minimum  servicing
standards.

In our opinion,  except for noncompliance  with minimum servicing standard I.1.,
management's assertion that the Company complied with the aforementioned minimum
servicing  standards  as of and for the year ended  December  31, 1997 is fairly
stated, in all material respects.

As discussed in management's  assertion,  the material noncompliance occurred at
the Company  during the year ended  December 31,  1997.  With respect to minimum
servicing standard I.1., five of the 42 custodial account reconciliations tested
contained  reconciling  items that were not resolved  within 90 calendar days of
their original identification.

These conditions were considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of
audit tests applied in our audit of the 1997 consolidated  financial statements,
and this  report  does not affect our report  dated  January  23,  1998 on those
consolidated financial statements.

Except for  non-compliance  with minimum servicing standard I.1 described below,
as of and for the year ended  December 31, 1997, GE Capital  Mortgage  Services,

servicing  standards set forth in the Mortgage Bankers  Association of America's

period,  the  Company  had in effect a fidelity  bond and  errors and  omissions
policy in the minimum amount of $120 million and $20 million, respectively.

reconciling  items that were not resolved  within  ninety (90)  calendar days of
their original  identification.  As of December 31, 1997,  there were unresolved
reconciling  items in less than one  percent  (1%) of such  accounts.  It is the
Company's policy to clear all reconciling items within thirty (30) days from the
