Re:  Issuance of Shares Pursuant to Registration Statement on Form S-11
     ------------------------------------------------------------------


Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Annaly Mortgage Management, Inc., a Maryland
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), of a Registration Statement on Form S-11, as amended to
date (the "Registration Statement"), relating to the public offering of up to an
aggregate of 9,791,100 shares (including 845,000 shares to be sold by certain
selling stock holders and up to 1,277,100 shares subject to an over-allotment
option granted by the Company to the underwriters) (collectively the "Shares")
of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share.

In so acting, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of the Amendment and Restatement of Articles
of Incorporation of the Company, the By-Laws of the Company, as amended to date,
and such other documents, records, certificates and other instruments as in our
judgment are necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion.

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly
authorized by the Company and, when issued and paid for as contemplated by the
Registration Statement, will be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-
assessable.

We render this opinion as members of the Bar of the State of Maryland.

"Risk Factors - Legal and Other Risks - Loss of Investment Company Act Exemption
Would Adversely Affect the Company" in the Registration Statement. In giving
this consent, we do not admit that we are acting within the category of persons
whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act.

Re:  Annaly Mortgage Management, Inc. --
     Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed
     with the Securities and Exchange Commission
     (File No. 333-32913)
     -------------------------------------------


Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special tax counsel to Annaly Mortgage Management, Inc., a
Maryland corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the proposed issuance
by the Company of up to an aggregate of 9,791,100 shares (including 845,000
shares to be sold by certain selling stockholders and up to 1,277,100 shares
subject to an over-allotment option granted by the Company to the underwriters)
of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, pursuant to a
registration statement of the Company on Form S-11 (Registration No. 333-32913),
as amended to the date hereof (the "Registration Statement").  Capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings
ascribed to them in the Registration Statement.

In connection with the foregoing, we have examined originals or copies
satisfactory to us of all such corporate records, agreements, instruments and
other documents as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the
opinion hereinafter expressed.  In such examination, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us
as originals and the conformity with the original documents of all documents
submitted to us as copies.  We understand and assume that (i) any agreement
which we have examined will represent the valid and binding obligation of the
respective parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms,
and the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter
thereof, (ii) the parties to each such agreement will comply with all of their
respective covenants, agreements and undertakings contained therein, and (iii)
the transactions provided for by each such agreement will be carried out in
accordance with its terms.

Our opinion is based upon existing United States federal income tax laws,
regulations, administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions.  All such
authorities are subject to change, either prospectively or retroactively.  No
assurance can be provided as to the effect of any such change upon our opinion.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1.   The Company will meet the requirements for qualification as a REIT under
the Code commencing with the Company's taxable year ending the December 31,
1997, and the Company's current and contemplated method of operation described
in the Prospectus and as represented by the Company will enable it to continue
to satisfy the requirements for such qualification.  This opinion is based on
various assumptions relating to the organization and operation of the Company
and is conditioned upon certain representations made by the Company as to
certain factual matters.  The continued qualification and taxation of the
Company as a REIT will depend upon the Company's ability to meet, on a
continuing basis, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership, and the
various qualification tests imposed by the Code.

2. The descriptions of matters of law and legal conclusions set forth in the
Registration Statement under the heading "Certain Federal Income Tax
Considerations" are our opinion and we hereby affirm the tax opinions of counsel
as set forth under such heading. While such descriptions discuss the material
anticipated United States federal income tax consequences applicable to the
Company and certain stockholders, they do not purport to discuss all federal
income tax consequences and our opinion is limited to those federal income tax
considerations specifically discussed therein.

In giving the foregoing opinion, we express no opinion other than as to the
federal income tax law of the United States of America.

We are furnishing this letter in our capacity as special tax counsel to the
Company and this letter is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise
referred to for any other purpose, except as set forth below.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement and we further consent to the use of our name under the
caption "Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the Registration
Statement.  In giving such consent, we do not thereby concede that we are within
the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission issued thereunder or that we are "experts"
within the meaning of such act, rules and regulations.

Very truly yours,

                        CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

     We consent to the use in Registration Statement No. 333-      of
Annaly Mortgage Management, Inc. of our report dated July 31, 1997, and to the
reference to us under "Experts" both of which are included in the Prospectus,
