Item 5.  Other Events.

On  August  28,  1998,  the  Registrant  will  cause  the  issuance  and sale of
approximately  $511,342,850.08 initial principal amount of Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1998-S18, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class
A-5,  Class A-6 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-S18,  Class A-1, Class A-2, Class
A- 3, Class A-4 and Class R Certificates, other than a de minimis portion of the
Class R  Certificates  (the  "Underwritten  Certificates"),  to  Merrill  Lynch,
Pierce,  Fenner & Smith Incorporated (the "Underwriter") the Registrant has been
advised by the  Underwriter  that the  Underwriter  has 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  Underwriter.   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information in the Computational  Materials is preliminary and may be superseded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 Underwriter at the request of
certain prospective investors,  based on assumptions provided by, and satisfying
the special  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

                                       -3-

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.
