         Class A-19,  Class A-20,  Class  A-21,  Class R, Class M-1,  Class M-2,
         Class  M-3,  Class  B-1,  Class B-2 and Class B-3 (the  "Certificates")
         pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing  Agreement to be dated as of August
         1, 1998,  among the Registrant,  Residential  Funding  Corporation,  as
         Master Servicer, and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee.

                  In connection with the sale of the Series 1998-S17, Class A-1,
         Class  A-2,  Class A- 3, Class A-4,  Class A-5,  Class A-6,  Class A-7,

         Class A-14,  Class A-15,  Class A-16, Class A-18, Class R Certificates,
         other than a de minimis portion of the Class R Certificates, Class M-1,
         Class  M-2  and  Class  M-3  Certificates  (the  "Salomon  Underwritten
         Certificates"), to Salomon Brothers Inc ("Salomon") and the sale of the
         Series  1998-S17,  Class  A-19  Certificates  (the  "Bear  Underwritten
         Certificates"; and together with the Salomon Underwritten Certificates,
         the  "Underwritten  Certificates")  to Bear,  Stearns & Co. Inc. ("Bear
         Stearns"; and together with Salomon, the "Underwriters") the Registrant
         has  been  advised  by the  Underwriters  that  the  Underwriters  have
         furnished  to  prospective  investors  certain  yield  tables and other
         computational materials (the "Computational Materials") with respect to
         the   Underwritten   Certificates   following  the  effective  date  of
         Registration Statement No. 333-57481, which Computational Materials are
         being filed manually as exhibits to this report.

                  The   Computational   Materials  have  been  provided  by  the
         Underwriters.   The  information  in  the  Computational  Materials  is
         preliminary and may be superseded by the Prospectus Supplement relating
         to the Certificates  and by any other  information  subsequently  filed
         with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                  The Computational Materials consist of the first 99 pages (the
         "Computational  Materials")  that appear  after the Form SE cover sheet
         and  the  page  headed  "NOTICE".   The  Underwriter  has  advised  the
         Registrant that certain information in the Computational  Materials may
         have been  based on  assumptions  that  differed  from the  final  pool
         information.

                  The Computational  Materials were prepared by the Underwriters
         at the request of certain prospective  investors,  based on assumptions
         provided by, and satisfying the special

                                       -3-

         requirements  of,  such  prospective   investors.   The   Computational
         Materials may be based on assumptions  that differ from the assumptions
         set forth in the Prospectus Supplement. The Computational Materials may
         not  include,  and do not  purport  to  include,  information  based on
         assumptions   representing  a  complete  set  of  possible   scenarios.
         Accordingly,  the  Computational  Materials  may not be  relevant to or
         appropriate  for  investors  other than those  specifically  requesting
         them.

                  In addition, the actual characteristics and performance of the
         mortgage loans underlying the Underwritten  Certificates (the "Mortgage
         Loans")  may  differ  from the  assumptions  used in the  Computational
         Materials,  which are hypothetical in nature and which were provided to
         certain  investors  only  to give a  general  sense  of how the  yield,
         average life,  duration,  expected maturity,  interest rate sensitivity
         and cash flow  characteristics  of a particular  class of  Underwritten
         Certificates  might vary under varying  prepayment and other scenarios.
         Any difference between such assumptions and the actual  characteristics
         and  performance  of the Mortgage  Loans will affect the actual  yield,
         average life,  duration,  expected maturity,  interest rate sensitivity
         and cash flow  characteristics  of a particular  class of  Underwritten
         Certificates.
