RE:   Mellon Residential Funding Corporation
      Registration Statement on Form S-3
      (File No. 333-24453)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel for Mellon Residential Funding Corporation, a
Delaware Corporation ("the Company"), in connection with the issuance of
$125,173,000 aggregate principal amount of Mellon Bank Home Equity Installment
Loan Trust 1997-1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997-1 (the
"Certificates"). A Registration Statement on Form S-3 relating to the
Certificates (No. 333-24453) (the "Registration Statement") has been filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"). As set forth in the Prospectus dated October 16,
1997 and the Prospectus Supplement dated October 16, 1997, the Certificates will
be issued by a trust established by the Company pursuant to the provisions of a
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of September 30, 1997 (the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement") among the Company, as Depositor, Mellon Bank, N.A., as the
Seller and Master Servicer and Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as the
Trustee.

We have examined a form of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a form of the
Certificates, and a form of the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement referred to
above. We also have examined such other documents, papers, statutes and
authorities as we have deemed necessary to form the basis for the opinions
hereinafter expressed. In our examination of such material, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us
as originals and the conformity to original documents of copies of documents
submitted to us.

On the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the information in the
Prospectus Supplement under the caption "Federal Income Tax Considerations," and
in the Prospectus under the caption "Federal Income Tax Considerations," to the
extent that it constitutes matters of law or legal conclusions, is correct in
all material respects.

This opinion is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and judicial
and administrative interpretations thereof.

Except as provided below, this opinion is solely for the benefit of the
addressee hereof and may not be relied upon in any manner by any other person or
entity.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement, to the references to us in the Prospectus Supplement,
and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to an application made by or on
behalf of the Company or any dealer in connection with the registration of the
Certificates under the securities or blue sky laws of any state or jurisdiction.
In giving such permission, we do not admit hereby that we come within the
category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities
Act or the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

(1) The prepayment assumption is 100% of the prepayment curve (PPC), which
    equates to a prepayment speed of 2% CPR in the first month, increasing by
    2.22% per month to 22% CPR in month 10 and remaining at 22% thereafter.
(2) If the Master Servicer does not exercise its optional termination right
    within 90 days after the Optional Termination Date, the Trustee is
    required to solicit bids for the purchase of all Mortgage Loans and REO
    Property remaining in the Trust Fund. If satisfactory bids are received as
    set forth in the Agreement, such remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Property
    will be sold and the proceeds distributed to the Certificateholders in the
    same priority as distributions on a Distribution Date.
