NEWS RELEASE: IMMEDIATE                                         OCTOBER 26, 1998

OCWEN ASSET INVESTMENT CORP. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

WEST PALM BEACH, FL - Ocwen Asset  Investment Corp.  (NYSE:  OAC) today reported
Funds From Operations ("FFO") of ($0.37) per share and a net loss of ($0.40) per
diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 1998,  resulting from a $0.75
per diluted share charge  relating  primarily to its commercial and  residential
mortgage-backed securities.

STATEMENT FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

William C. Erbey,  Chairman and Chief Executive  Officer,  stated, "As you know,
the United States debt and equity  markets -- including  the financial  service,
real  estate  investment  trust and  mortgage-backed  security  sectors  -- have
experienced  significant  volatility,  raising the very real  possibility  of an
economic  downturn.  As a result,  OAC has  decided  that,  for the  foreseeable
future, it does not plan to acquire any additional assets or fund any additional
loans  (beyond  those to which it is currently  committed),  and it will work to
accelerate  the  stabilization  of its existing  assets and increase its overall
liquidity  position.  OAC views  these  steps as prudent  measures to manage its
current  assets and  position  OAC to take  advantage  of  opportunities  in the
future."

Based on the  foregoing,  OAC has begun to curtail each of its various  business
lines,  which include the acquisition of subordinate  and residual  interests in
residential   and   commercial   mortgage-backed   securities,   underperforming
commercial real property  acquisitions  and residential and commercial  mortgage
loan acquisitions, including construction and renovation loans.

THIRD QUARTER PERFORMANCE

OAC today reported FFO of ($7.1) million,  or ($0.37) per diluted share, for the
third quarter of 1998 compared to $4.4 million,  or $0.22 per diluted share, for
the same period a year ago.  During the third quarter of 1998,  OAC recognized a
charge of $15.6 million,  or ($0.75) per diluted share after minority  interest,
related primarily to its commercial and residential  mortgage-backed securities.
FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, was $4.1 million, or $0.21 per
diluted share, as compared to $6.4 million,  or $0.33 per diluted share, for the
period  May 14,  1997,  to  September  30,  1997,  which  began  on the date OAC
completed its initial public offering.

OAC  reported a net loss of $7.6  million for the quarter  ended  September  30,
1998, or ($0.40) per diluted share, compared to a gain of $4.4 million, or $0.22
per diluted  share,  for that same period a year ago.  For the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, OAC reported a net loss of ($11.5)  million,  or ($0.61) per
diluted share.

For the quarter  ended  September  30, 1998,  OAC closed  transactions  totaling
approximately  $114.6  million,  all of which were funded.  This activity brings
OAC's total  closed  transactions  since its  initial  public  offering,  net of
repayments,  to $917.1 million as of September 30, 1998. Of this amount,  $866.5
million has been funded and the remaining $50.6 million is to be funded over the
construction and renovation periods, which range from two to 18 months.

SELECTED REVIEW OF OPERATING RESULTS

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income before  provision for loan losses  increased $4.2 million to
$9.7  million in the third  quarter of 1998  versus the same  period a year ago.
This  increase was largely due to an $11.3 million  increase in interest  income
from  securities  available  for sale and a $3.9  million  increase  in interest
income from  residential  loans,  offset by a $2.0 million  decrease in interest
income from  repurchase  agreements  and interest  bearing  deposits and a $10.6
million  increase in interest  expense.  These  increases in interest income and
interest expense versus the same period a year ago are largely the result of OAC
being newly formed, only partially invested and not levered in the third quarter
of 1997. Net interest  income before  provision for loan losses  increased $18.3
million to $26.2 million for the nine months ended  September  30, 1998,  versus
the same period a year ago. The following tables set forth information regarding
the total  amount of  income  from  interest-earning  assets  and the  resultant
average  yields.  Information  is based on daily  average  balances  during  the
reported periods.

REAL ESTATE INCOME, NET

Real estate  income,  net  increased  $479,000 to $543,000  for the three months
ended  September 30, 1998,  versus the same period a year ago. This increase was
largely due to a $7.9 million increase in rental income offset by a $3.6 million
increase in rental operation  expense, a $1.1 million increase in depreciation &
amortization  expense and a $2.7  million  increase in interest  expense.  These
increases in real estate  operating income and expenses versus the same period a
year ago are  largely  the result of an  increase  in OAC's  investment  in real
estate,  net of $209.8  million at September  30, 1998,  versus $45.4 million at
September  30, 1997.  Real estate  income,  net  increased  $1.0 million to $1.1
million for the nine months ended  September 30, 1998,  versus the same period a
year ago.

OTHER EXPENSES

Other expenses increased $2.0 million to $3.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1998, versus the same period a year ago. This increase was largely
due to a $0.9 million increase in management fees and a $0.8 million increase in
other expenses (which  consisted  generally of servicing,  legal, and accounting
expenses).  These  increases in other expenses versus the same period a year ago
are largely the result of OAC becoming  fully invested and leveraging its assets
in 1998.  Other  expenses  increased  $4.9  million to $6.6 million for the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1998,  versus  the same  period a year  ago.  The
management  fees payable by OAC to Ocwen Capital  Corporation  ("OCC"),  totaled
$1.6 million for the quarter ended  September 30, 1998 and $4.1 million for nine
months  ended  September  30,  1998.  In addition,  OAC  reimbursed  OCC for due
diligence  expenses  of  $568,000  and  $936,000  in  connection  with its asset
acquisitions  during the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1998 (which
amounts are likely to be  substantially  reduced or eliminated to the extent OAC
does not review or acquire assets in the future).

LOSSES ON SECURITIES AND DERIVATIVES

Due to accelerated  prepayment  speeds,  widening  mortgage  spreads,  declining
market liquidity,  and declining treasury yields, OAC recognized a $15.6 million
charge to earnings  during the third quarter of 1998.  This charge was comprised
of a $13.6 million writedown of the securities held for sale portfolio (which is
comprised of subordinate  and residual  mortgage-backed  securities)  and a $2.0
million charge on futures losses  incurred on short  positions in U.S.  Treasury
futures used to hedge the residential loan portfolio. Total losses on securities
and  derivatives  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998,  were $32.7
million.

MINORITY INTEREST IN NET LOSS OF CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY

Minority  interest in net loss of $721,000  and  $399,000 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1998,  respectively,  arose from the investment by an
affiliate  of OCC in the  operating  partnership  that  conducts the majority of
OAC's business activities.  OAC has a 91.3% ownership interest in such operating
partnership

EXTRAORDINARY GAIN ON REPURCHASE OF DEBT

On September 30, 1998,  OAC  repurchased  in the open market $7.0 million of its
$150.0 million  outstanding 11 1/2% Senior Notes due 2005 (the "Senior  Notes"),
which were issued on July 15, 1998,  pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the  "Securities  Act").  This resulted in OAC realizing an
extraordinary  gain of $615,000  during the third  quarter of 1998. At September
30, 1998, the outstanding balance of the Senior Notes was $143.0 million.

SELECTED REVIEW OF SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

At September 30, 1998, OAC's securities  available for sale portfolio was $395.5
million, which consisted of:

 o   Non-investment  grade and unrated  subordinate  commercial  mortgage-backed
     securities  having a book  value of $134.1  million  and a market  value of
     $129.6 million;

 o   Unrated  residential  subprime  residuals  having a book  value  of  $254.7
     million and a market value of $245.2 million; and

 o   Unrated subordinate  residential  mortgage-backed  securities having a book
     value of $20.4 million and a market value of $20.7 million.


                                       8
<PAGE>

OAC's unrated subprime residual portfolio of $245.2 million consisted of:

 o   $112.8 million of seasoned  residuals (i.e.,  securitized  between 1994 and
     1997) with  overcollateralization  reserves funded at approximately  $125.3
     million.

 o   $132.4  million of unseasoned  residuals  (i.e.,  securitized in 1998) with
     overcollateralization reserves funded at approximately $23.3 million.

SELECTED REVIEW OF LIQUIDITY POSITION

To date, OAC has been receiving and has been able to manage and meet  collateral
calls by its lenders.  With respect to continuing to do so in the future,  OAC's
cash and cash equivalents were $18.3 million at September 30, 1998. In addition,
OAC had  unencumbered  assets having a market value  totaling  $167.6 million at
September 30, 1998 ($61.5 million of single-family  residential loans and $106.1
million of subordinate and residual mortgage-backed  securities), of which $37.4
million of the  securities  has  subsequently  been used as collateral to obtain
additional  borrowings  and the  remainder of which OAC is currently  seeking to
leverage or pledge as additional collateral.  Also, OAC is seeking to reduce its
obligations  outstanding under lines of credit by conducting a securitization of
its single-family residential loan portfolio in the fourth quarter of 1998.

SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE

Securities sold under  agreements to repurchase were $143.1 million at September
30, 1998, a decrease from $223.8 million at June 30, 1998. These obligations are
secured by certain of OAC's investments in subordinated  interests in commercial
mortgage-backed  securities and residual interests in subprime  residential loan
securitizations.  The following  table  summarizes  the maturity  dates of OAC's
securities  sold under  agreements  to  repurchase  and the market  value of the
related collateral securities as of September 30, 1998:

Currently, interest payments with respect to these obligations are approximately
$0.6  million per month  (which  assumes that the  repurchase  agreements  which
mature within 30 days are renewed at  approximately  the same rate of interest).
Between  October 1 and  October  26,  1998,  OAC  closed  additional  repurchase
agreements totaling $14.4 million, each of which matures within 30 days.

OBLIGATIONS OUTSTANDING UNDER LINES OF CREDIT

 Obligations  outstanding  under lines of credit  amounted to $189.1  million at
September  30,  1998,  as compared  to $154.2  million at June 30,  1998.  These
borrowings include:

 o   $28.9 million pursuant to a three year agreement,  which is  collateralized
     by commercial loans and is described below under  "Obligations  Outstanding
     Under Lines of Credit - Real Estate";
 o   the U.S.  dollar  equivalent  of $24.2  million  pursuant  to a three  year
     agreement,  which is denominated in Pounds Sterling and  collateralized  by
     certain U.K. mortgage loan residual securities; and
 o   $136.0  million  pursuant to an agreement  which matures in April 1999, and
     which is  collateralized  by single  family  residential  mortgages at a 95
     percent advance rate.

     in Cortez Plaza,  450 Sansome Street,  10 U.N. Plaza,  Prudential Plaza and
     690 Market Street  secured this loan,  and an additional  $28.9 million was
     borrowed  and  secured  by  commercial  mortgage  loans  under this line of
     credit.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On July 22, 1998,  OAC acquired the  Prudential  Building,  an existing  488,080
square foot,  22-story office building located in the central business  district
of  Jacksonville,  Florida,  for $36.0 million in cash plus closing  costs.  The
purchase  price was  funded  with cash on hand and  advances  from OAC's line of
credit.  Simultaneous with the closing, OAC also leased 97% of the building back
to the  Prudential  Insurance  Co. of America  and sold two  parcels of adjacent
parking  areas to an adjacent  hospital  for  approximately  $4.1  million.  The
Prudential  lease has a term of four years with  options to vacate the  premises
during  the term of the lease as well as three  subsequent  five year  extension
options.  OAC also entered  into an  agreement  with the hospital to lease up to
150,000  square feet for a  nine-year  period  should  Prudential  exercise  its
termination option.

On  August  28,  1998,  OAC  purchased  for  $19.8  million,  a  single  B-rated
subordinate interest  collateralized by a pool of ten first lien conduit quality
commercial loans, secured by 108 properties.  The purchase price was funded with
cash on hand and a reverse repurchase  agreement in the amount of $14.7 million,
which  matures in September,  1999.  Ocwen  Federal  Bank,  FSB, a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of Ocwen  Financial  Corporation,  is the special  servicer for these
loans.

On September  22, 1998,  OAC declared a cash dividend of $0.44 per share for the
third quarter of 1998,  which was payable to shareholders of record on September
30, 1998, and paid on October 15, 1998.

Also on September 22, 1998, OAC announced that its Board of Directors authorized
a program to repurchase up to $10 million of its issued and  outstanding  shares
of common stock.  Any such repurchases will be at times, at prices per share, in
amounts and through solicited or unsolicited transactions in the open market, on
the New York Stock  Exchange or in privately  negotiated  transactions,  in each
case  as  OAC  deems  appropriate  depending  on  market  conditions,  corporate
requirements and applicable securities laws. OAC expects to fund any repurchases
from operating cash flows and cash on hand.

On September 23, 1998,  OAC filed a  registration  statement with the Securities
and Exchange  Commission  (the "SEC") as the first step in effecting its planned
exchange offer for its Senior Notes whereby the holders of the Senior Notes will
receive new Senior Notes which have been registered with the SEC.

On September  30, 1998,  OAC filed with the SEC a shelf  registration  statement
allowing for the issuance of up to $250 million of common and  preferred  stock,
senior  and  subordinated  debt and other  securities.  Mark S.  Zeidman,  Chief
Financial Officer,  stated,  "Since OAC's initial public offering,  we have been
planning to file a shelf  registration  statement once OAC became eligible under
the  SEC's   regulations   in  order  to  take   advantage  of   capital-raising
opportunities  if and when they arise and are needed in the future.  In light of
the SEC's new 'Plain  English' rules  becoming  effective on October 1, 1998, we
thought it best to make this filing in September."

On October 8, 1998,  OAC closed on a commitment to finance a hotel  construction
loan in the amount of $17.7 million, of which $1.2 million has been funded.

CURRENT COMMITMENTS

As of October 26, 1998, OAC had one outstanding  commitment of $17.8 million for
a commercial real estate  construction and renovation loan. All other previously
announced  commitments or negotiations have been closed,  discontinued or failed

including,  but not limited to, completion of satisfactory due diligence efforts
and conditions the borrowers must satisfy prior to OAC funding the  transaction.
This  commitment  for $17.8 million,  the unfunded  portion of the $17.7 million
transaction  which was  closed on  October  8,  1998,  and the $50.6  million of
unfunded  balances on the  commercial  and  multi-family  loan  portfolio  as of
September 30, 1998,  are expected to be funded through  working  capital and the
$200.0 million line of credit discussed above.
