Numerous assumptions were used in preparing the Computational Materials which
may  or may not be stated therein.  As  such, no assurance can be given as to
the  accuracy, appropriateness or completeness of the Computational Materials

Any yields or weighted average lives shown in the Computational Materials are
based   on  prepayment  assumptions  and  actual  prepayment  experience  may
dramatically  affect such yields or weighted  average lives.  In addition, it
is  possible that prepayments  on the underlying  assets will occur  at rates
slower  or  faster than  the  rates  assumed  in the  attached  Computational
Materials.     Furthermore,  unless  otherwise  provided,  the  Computational
Materials  assume  no  losses  on  the  underlying  assets  and  no  interest
shortfall.   The specific characteristics  of the securities may  differ from
those shown  in the  Computational Materials due  to differences  between the
actual underlying  assets and the  hypothetical assets used in  preparing the
Computational  Materials.   The  principal  amount  and  designation  of  any
security described in the Computational Materials are subject to change prior
to issuance.

ERISA:                   Class A Bonds will be eligible for purchase by ERISA

                         of the underwriter's exemption.  A Benefit Plan should
                         consult with counsel before making a purchase.


STRUCTURE:

Credit Enhancement:      Class A Bonds will be supported by a 100% insurance
                         guarantee provided by an AMBAC Bond Insurance Policy,
                         which is non-cancelable, in favor of the Trustee.
                         The AMBAC policy will guarantee timely payment of
                         interest and ultimate payment of principal.  The AMBAC
                         policy will also guarantee the Class A-1 Interest Rate
                         and the Class A-2 Interest Rate.

                         In addition, excess servicing and
                         overcollateralization of 1.00% is available to cover
                         losses on the Class A Bonds.


Bond Interest Rate:      CLASS A-1
                         The interest rate for the Class A-1 Bonds for any
                         Distribution Date (the "Class A-1 Interest Rate") will
                         be equal to a  per annum floating rate equal  to the
                         Rolling One-Year Constant Maturity Treasury Rate for
                         the related Interest Accrual Period.  The Class A-1
                         Interest Rate for the first Payment Date will equal
                         6.50% per annum.

                         The "Rolling One-Year Constant Maturity Treasury Rate"
                         will be equal to the arithmetic average of twelve
                         reference  rates (each, a "Reference Rate") determined
                         in the following manner.  Each month one of the twelve
                         Reference Rates will be set and the rate so determined
                         by the Bond Trustee will remain fixed for the
                         following twelve months.  Only one Reference Rate will
                         be set each month; the other eleven Reference Rates
                         will remain constant.  For example, the Reference Rate
                         for January 1998 will be set on the One-Year Constant
                         Maturity Treasury Rate Determination Date occurring in
                         January 1998 and will remain fixed for the period of
                         January 25, 1998 through January 24, 1999.

                         The Reference Rate determined each month will be set
                         to a level equal to the One-Year Constant Maturity
                         Treasury Index in effect for the week ending on Friday
                         of the first full week (i.e. the week which includes
                         the first Monday of the month) of the prior month
                         (i.e. a 45 day look back) plus a fixed margin to be
                         set at pricing, subject, however, to (i) a maximum
                         increase not to exceed the sum of the Reference Rate
                         for such month determined in the immediately preceding
                         year plus 2.0% and (ii) a maximum rate of 10%.  The
                         method used to determine the Class A-1 Interest Rate
                         is similar to the way a coupon would be set for a pool
                         of CMT ARM loans.

                         The "One-Year Constant  Maturity Treasury Index" will
                         be  the average of the published yields for each 
                         business day during the specified one full week  of 
                         the  yield on United  States Treasury securities  
                         adjusted to a constant maturity of one year.  

     			 CLASS A-2

                         The interest  rate  for  the  Class  A-2  Bonds  for
                         any Distribution Date   (the "Class A-2 Interest  
                         Rate") will be equal to  the lesser of (i) a per  
                         annum floating rate equal to One Month LIBOR for the
                         related Interest Accrual Period, plus _.__%, and (ii)
                         10% per annum.

                         Principal Payments: On  each Payment Date, to the  
                         extent funds are available therefor, principal  
                         payments will be made on a  pro rata basis to Class
                         A-1 and Class A-2 according to the outstanding balance
                         of each class.

Priority of
Payments:                The  Available Funds  will  be  distributed  as 
                         follows:  (i)  Bond Insurance Premium  and fee payable
                        to Redwood  Trust under  Management  Agreement and  the
                        fee payable  to the Owner  Trustee and  the Custodian
                        (ii) the Issuer  Swap Payment, if any, (iii)  Interest
                        Payment Amount to Bondholders,   (iv)  Basic  Principal
                        Payment  Amount,  (v)   Insurer Reimbursement Amount,
                        (vi)  Excess  Cashflow  Principal  Amount,  (vii)  
                        certain payments necessary  to reimburse the  Servicer
                        or Bond  Trustee, and  (viii)  any  remaining  amounts
                        to  the  holder  of  the  Investor Certificate.


Convertible Loans:      Convertible Mortgage Loans allow  the borrower to 
                        convert the adjustable rate to a fixed rate (0.73% of
                        the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date) and  to a 
                        different Index (100% of the  Pool Balance as of
                        the Cut-off Date).  Index  Convertible Mortgage Loans
                        allow the borrower to  convert its Index  to  a 
                        different  Index.   The  frequency  of the Interest
                        Adjustment Date  may not  be changed  in connection
                        with such conversion.

                        The Servicer is obligated to purchase any mortgage loan
                        that converts to a fixed rate.  The Servicer  will not
                        purchase a mortgage loan  upon its conversion to 
                        another index.

Optional
Termination:            The Issuer may  redeem the Class A Bonds remaining 
                        outstanding on any  Distribution  Date at  the earlier
                        of: (a)  10  years from  the Closing Date, or (b) when
                        the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of such Mortgage
                        Loans is  less  than  25% of  the  aggregate unpaid  
                        Principal Balance  of the Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off
                        Date.   If an election to redeem the  Bonds is  made, 
                        the Issuer  must redeem  both Class  A-1 and Class A-2
                        Bonds.

                        The Bond Insurer  may redeem the Class A  Bonds 
                        remaining outstanding on the  Distribution Date when
                        the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance  of such 
                        Mortgage Loans is less than 5% of the aggregate unpaid 
                        Principal  Balance of the Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off
                        Date.  The Call  Price on the Class A-1 Bonds will be
                        set at the price at which the Class A-1 Bonds are
