              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



Independent National Mortgage Corporation

We have examined management's assertion about Independent National Mortgage
Corporation's compliance with the minimum servicing standards identified in
the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP) in its capacity as a Master Servicer as
of and for the year ended December 31, 1996 included in the accompanying
management assertion.  Management is responsible for Independent National
Mortgage Corporation's compliance with those minimum servicing standards. 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about
the entity's compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about Independent National Mortgage
Corporation's compliance with the minimum servicing standards and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We
believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 
Our examination does not provide a legal determination on Independent
National Mortgage Corporation compliance with the minimum servicing
standards.

In our opinion, management's assertion that Independent National Mortgage
Corporation complied with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards as
of and for the year ended December 31, 1996 is fairly stated, in all material
respects.
