Re: REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-1 460,000 ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON
    STOCK
 
Gentlemen:
 
  We are counsel to Southern Pacific Funding Corporation (the "Company") in
connection with registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (the
"462(b) Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to Rule 462(b) promulgated under the
Securities Act and relating to the registration under the Securities Act of an
additional 460,000 shares of the Company's common stock, no par value (the
"Additional Shares"). The 462(b) Registration Statement to be used for the
offer and sale of the Additional Shares is filed with the Commission in
connection with the proposed public offering described in the Registration
Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-3270) filed with the Commission on
April 5, 1996, as amended, which was declared effective by the Commission on
June 12, 1996.
 
  We are familiar with the proceedings taken by the Company in connection with
the authorization of the Additional Shares. We have examined such documents,
records and matters of law as we have deemed necessary for purposes of this
opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents
of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the
authenticity of the originals of such copies.
 
  Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Additional Shares
will be, when the 462(b) Registration Statement becomes effective and the
Additional Shares are sold, issued and delivered as described in the 462(b)
Registration Statement, legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
  We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the 462(b)
Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the caption "LEGAL
MATTERS" in the prospectus comprising a part of the 462(b) Registration
Statement.
 
  This opinion is rendered for the purposes of Item 16 of Form S-1 and Item
601 of Regulation S-K, may be relied upon only by you and the Commission and
may not be used, quoted or referred to and/or filed for any other purpose
without our prior written permission.
