          REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA:

We have examined management's assertion about Advanta
Mortgage Corp. USA's (the "Company"), and indirect wholly-
owned subsidiary of Advanta Corp., compliance with the
minimum servicing standards identified in the Mortgage
Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP) and that Advanta
Mortgage Corp. USA had in effect fidelity bond coverage in
the amount of $15 million and mortgage contingent liability
protection coverage in the amount of $2 million as of and
for the year ended December 31, 1997 included in the
accompanying management assertion.  Management is
responsible for Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA's compliance with
those minimum-servicing standards and for maintaining a
fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy.  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 Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA's
compliance with those 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
Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA's compliance with the minimum
servicing standards.

In our opinion, management's assertion that Advanta Mortgage
Corp. USA complied with the aforementioned minimum servicing
standards and that Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA had in effect
fidelity bond coverage in the amount of $15 million and
mortgage contingent liability protection coverage in the
amount of $2 million as of and for the year ended December
31, 1997 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
