                    Report of Independent Accountants


February 29, 2000

To the Board of  Directors  and  Shareholder  of
GMAC  Commercial  Mortgage Corporation

     We have examined the accompanying management assertion,  dated February 29,
2000, about GMAC Commercial  Mortgage  Corporation's (the "Company")  compliance
with its  established  minimum master  servicing  standards  ("Master  Servicing
Policy")  as of and  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1999.  Management  is
responsible for thc Company's  compliance with the Master Servicing Policy.  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 the standards  established by
the  American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants  and,  accordingly,
included  examining,  on a test basis,  evidence about the Company's  compliance
with the Master  Servicing  Policy 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  Master  Servicing
Policy.

     In our opinion,  management's  assertion that the Company complied with the
aforementioned Master Servicing Policy as of and for the year ended December 31,
1999 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
