Re: BA Mortgage Securities, Inc.
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1998-4
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for BA Mortgage Securities, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of the
prospectus dated July 21, 1998 (the "Basic Prospectus"), as supplemented by the
prospectus supplement dated July 21, 1998 (the "Prospectus Supplement," and
together with the Basic Prospectus, the "Prospectus"), which is being filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to Rule
424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The Prospectus relates to the Company's
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1998-4, Class IA-1, Class IA-2, Class
IA-3, Class IA-4, Class IA-5, Class IA-6, Class IA-7, Class IA-8, Class IA-9,
Class IIA-1, Class IIA-2, Class IIA-3, Class IIA-4, Class IIA-5, Class IIA-6,
Class I-X, Class II-X, Class I-PO, Class II-PO, and Class IM, Class IB-1, Class
IB-2, Class IIM, Class IIB-1, Class IIB-2, Class R-I, Class R-II and Class R-III
(other than a de minimus portion thereof) (collectively, the "Certificates") and
is being filed as part of the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3,
Registration No. 333-53933 (the "Registration Statement") for the registration
under the Act of series of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates. In preparing this
opinion, we have reviewed the Prospectus Supplement, the Basic Prospectus, the
Registration Statement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement among the Company,
as depositor, Bank of America, FSB, as Master Servicer, and The Bank of New
York, a New York banking corporation, as trustee, dated July 1, 1998, and such
other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the
opinion herein expressed (collectively, the "Transaction Documents"). As to
matters of fact, we have relied upon the representations, warranties and other
statements contained in the Transaction Documents.

We hereby confirm that the statements set forth in the Basic
Prospectus and in the Prospectus Supplement under the headings "FEDERAL INCOME
TAX CONSEQUENCES," each forming a part of the Registration Statement, which
statements have been prepared by us, constitute our opinion as to the material
federal income tax consequences relating to the Certificates and are correct in
all material respects.
We express no opinion as to the law of any jurisdiction other than the
laws of the United States of America. We assume no obligation to update this
opinion for events occurring or coming to our attention after the date hereof.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Registration
Statement under cover of a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Very truly yours,
