         Re:      IMC Securities, Inc.
                  Home Equity Loan Asset Backed Notes, Series 1998-6
                  Registration Statement on Form S-3 No. 333-48429

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to IMC Securities Inc. (the "Depositor") in
connection with the preparation and filing of the registration statement on Form
S-3 (such registration statement, the "Registration Statement") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), in respect of the IMC Home Equity Loan Asset Backed Notes,
Series 1998-6 (the "Notes"). Our advice formed the basis for the description of
the federal income tax consequences appearing under the heading "Federal Income
Tax Consequences" in the prospectus supplement contained in the Registration
Statement. Such description does not purport to discuss all possible federal
income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, but with respect to those
tax consequences which are discussed, it is our opinion that the Notes will be
treated as newly originated debt obligations of IMC Home Equity Loan Owner Trust
1998-6 (the "Issuer") and not as representing an ownership interest in the
assets included in the trust estate or an equity interest in the Issuer, the
Depositor or the Seller. In addition, for federal income tax purposes, the
Issuer will not be classified (i) as an association taxable as a corporation,
(ii) a taxable mortgage pool as defined in Section 7701(i) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (iii) a "publicly traded partnership" as
defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this letter as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm in the Registration
Statement and related prospectus supplement under the heading "Federal Income
Tax Consequences."

                                            Very truly yours,

                                            /s/ Arter & Hadden LLP

                                            Arter & Hadden LLP





                                                                    Exhibit 23.1


                     [PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Letterhead]




                       CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

                                 ---------------
