                            Dividend Reinvestment and
                               Stock Purchase Plan



  The Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") of 
Resource Mortgage Capital, Inc. (the "Company") provides owners of 
shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") with a 
convenient and economical method of investing cash dividends and 
optional cash deposits in additional shares of the Common Stock at a 
discount, in most cases, to the market price.  A participant in the Plan 
may purchase additional shares of the Common Stock from the Company by: 
(i) reinvesting some or all  cash dividends paid on shares of the Common 
Stock; or (ii) making optional cash deposits subject to a minimum 
purchase limit of $50 and a maximum purchase limit of $10,000 for each 
calendar month, whether or not the participant's dividends are being 
reinvested.  The price to be paid for such additional shares will be a 
price equal to the Market Price (as defined below) less a 3% percent 
discount when shares are purchased directly from the Company (subject to 
change).  The same price will apply to the reinvestment of cash 
dividends and to the investment of optional cash deposits.

  To enroll in the Plan, simply complete the enclosed Authorization Card 
and return it to the Plan Administrator (as hereinafter defined) at the 
address provided on the card.  A broker, bank or other nominee may 
reinvest dividends and make optional cash deposits on behalf of 
beneficial owners.  Stockholders previously enrolled in the Plan will 
continue to participate without any further action required on their 
part.

  This Prospectus relates to 1,098,800 authorized and unissued shares of 
the Common Stock registered for sale under the Plan.  Participants 
should retain this Prospectus for future reference.

The Company

  Resource Mortgage Capital, Inc. (the "Company") operates a mortgage 
conduit and invests in a portfolio of residential mortgage securities. 
The Company's primary strategy is to use its mortgage conduit 
operations, which involve the purchase and securitization of residential 
mortgage loans, to create investments for its portfolio.  The Company 
has recently broadened its conduit programs and loan products within the 
residential mortgage market in order to diversify its sources of income 
and investments.  The Company's principal sources of income are net 
interest income on its investment portfolio, gains on the securitization 
and sale of mortgage loans and the interest spread realized while the 
mortgage loans are being accumulated for securitization.

  As a real estate investment trust, the Company distributes annually at 
least 95% of its taxable income to shareholders.

  The Company's corporate headquarters are in Columbia, Maryland, with 
its principal operations office in Glen Allen, Virginia.

  The Company's Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange 
under the symbol "RMR". 

Available Information

  The Company is subject to the informational requirements of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") and files reports, 
proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (the "Commission").  Reports, proxy statements, and other 
information concerning the Company can be inspected at the Commission's 
Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, 
<PAGE>and the Commission's Regional Offices at 7 World Trade Center, New 
York, New York 10048, and Northwest Atrium Center, 500 West Madison 
Street, Suite 1400, Chicago, Illinois 60661-2511.  Copies of such 
material can be obtained by mail from the Public Reference Section of 
the Commission at 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549 at 
prescribed rates.  Such reports, proxy statements and other information 
concerning the Company may also be inspected at the offices of the New 
York Stock Exchange, 20 Broad Street, New York, New York 10005.

The Plan

  The Plan provides eligible holders of the Common Stock with a 
convenient and economical method of investing cash dividends and 
optional cash deposits in additional shares of the Common Stock at a 
discount, in most cases, to the market price and without payment of any 
brokerage commission or service charge.  The Plan is intended to benefit 
long-term investors who wish to increase their investment in the Common 
Stock.

  Eligible holders of the Common Stock who wish to participate in the 
Plan (each, a "Participant") may elect to have cash dividends paid on 
all or a portion of their shares of the Common Stock automatically 
reinvested in additional shares of the Common Stock(see "Eligibility" 
below).

  Each month, Participants may elect to invest optional cash deposits in 
additional shares of the Common Stock, subject to a minimum per month 
purchase limit of $50 and a maximum per month purchase limit of $10,000.  
Participants may make optional cash deposits even if dividends on their 
shares of the Common Stock are not being reinvested.

  The Company retains the right to limit the amount of optional cash 
deposits it accepts for investment during any month if the amount of 
such optional cash deposits exceeds the amount that the Company 
believes, in its sole discretion, it can invest in a timely manner.  In 
such case, each optional cash deposit of each Participant would be 
reduced by the same percentage and promptly returned without interest.

  Shares for the Plan may be purchased, at the discretion of the 
Company, either (i) directly from the Company or (ii) in the open market 
or otherwise.  Shares purchased from the Company will be authorized but 
unissued shares and will provide the Company with funds for general 
corporate purposes.

  Should circumstances arise that make the purchase of new shares from 
the Company impractical (if, for example, the market price of the Common 
Stock fell below the book value per share), the Company reserves the 
right to purchase shares on the open market.  Shares purchased on the 
open market will not be eligible for the discount to market price.  

Administration

<PAGE>  A plan administrator (the "Plan Administrator") will administer 
the Plan, keep records, send statements of account to each Participant 
and perform other duties related to the Plan.  The Company has selected 
First Union National Bank of North Carolina ("First Union") to serve as 
the Plan Administrator.  Shares purchased for each Participant under the 
Plan will be held in safekeeping by or through the Plan Administrator 
until such Participant terminates their participation in the Plan or 
until a written request is received from such Participant for issuance 
of a stock certificate for all or a portion of its shares.  First Union 
also acts as dividend disbursing agent, transfer agent and registrar for 
the Common Stock.  

Eligibility

  Two types of stockholders are eligible to be "Participants": 
(a) stockholders whose shares of the Common Stock are registered in 
their own names on the stock transfer books of the Company ("Registered 
Owners") and (b) stockholders who beneficially own shares of the Common 
Stock that are registered in a name other than their own (i.e., in the 
name of a broker, bank or other nominee) ("Beneficial Owners").  
Registered Owners may participate directly in the Plan.  To participate 
in the Plan, Beneficial Owners must either become Registered Owners by 
having such shares transferred into their own names or make arrangements 
with their broker, bank or other nominee to participate on their behalf. 

Enrollment

  A Registered Owner may enroll in the Plan by completing and signing an 
Authorization Card and returning it to the Plan Administrator.  If a 
Participant's shares are registered in more than one name (e.g., joint 
tenants or trustee), all Registered Owners of such shares must sign the 
Authorization Card exactly as their names appear on the account 
registration.  Shareholders currently enrolled in the Plan will continue 
to participate in the Plan without any further action required on their 
part.

  For enrollment to be effective with respect to a particular cash 
dividend, an Authorization Card must be received from a stockholder on 
or before the record date established for such dividend.  If the 
Authorization Card is received after that dividend record date, that 
dividend will be paid to the Participant in cash, and the reinvestment 
of dividends will begin on the dividend payment date (the "Investment 
Date") following the next dividend record date, provided that such 
stockholder is still an eligible stockholder.

  An eligible stockholder may also participate in the Plan through 
delivery of an Authorization Card and an optional cash deposit on or 
<PAGE>prior to the record date established for a particular Investment 
Date.  (See "Purchases and Price of Shares" below).

  Beneficial Owners who wish to participate in the Plan must instruct 
their broker, bank or other nominee to complete and sign the 
Authorization Card and return it to the Plan Administrator.  In certain 
situations where the broker, bank or other nominee holds shares of a 
Beneficial Owner in the name of a major securities depository, a Broker 
and Nominee Form (A "B&N Form") may also be required to participate in 
the Plan. The B&N form provides the only means by which a broker, bank 
or other nominee holding shares of a Beneficial Owner in the name of a 
major securities depository may invest optional cash deposits on behalf 
of such Beneficial Owner.  A B&N Form must be delivered to the Plan 
Administrator each time that such broker, bank or other nominee 
transmits optional cash deposits on behalf of a Beneficial Owner.  B&N 
Forms will be furnished upon request to the Plan Administrator at the 
address or telephone number specified below.  A broker, bank or other 
nominee holding shares of a Beneficial Owner in the name of a major 
securities depository may also participate in the Plan through the 
Depository Trust Company ("DTC").  Currently, only the dividend 
reinvestment option is available through DTC.  Interested parties should 
contact DTC directly for further details.

  If a stockholder returns a properly executed Authorization Card to the 
Plan Administrator without electing an investment option, such 
Authorization Card will be deemed to indicate the intention of such 
stockholder to apply any cash dividends and optional cash deposits 
toward the purchase of additional shares of the Common Stock.

  Written requests for Authorization Cards and B&N Forms should be 
directed to the Plan Administrator at:

                     First Union National Bank of North Carolina
                             Shareholder Services Group
                         230 South Tryon Street, 10th Floor
                        Charlotte, North Carolina  28288-1154

or call (800) 829-8432.

Options

  The Authorization Card provides for the purchase of additional shares 
of the Common Stock through the following investment options:

(1)  If "Full Dividend Reinvestment" is elected, the Plan 
Administrator will apply any cash dividends on all shares of 
the Common Stock then or subsequently registered in the 
Participant's name, including all whole and fractional Plan 
<PAGE>Shares (as hereinafter defined and any dividends on all 
Plan Shares, together with any optional cash deposits, toward 
the purchase of additional shares of the Common Stock.  "Plan 
Shares" are all whole shares of the Common Stock and 
fractional share interests credited to a Participant's Plan 
account.

(2)  If "Partial Dividend Reinvestment" is elected, the Plan 
Administrator will apply any cash dividends on only the 
specified number of shares of the Common Stock owned by the 
Participant on the applicable Record Date and specified on the 
Authorization Card ("Participating Shares") and any cash 
dividends on all Participating Shares, together with any 
optional cash deposits, towards the purchase of additional 
shares of the Common Stock.  

(3)  If "Optional Cash Deposits Only" is elected, the Participant 
will continue to receive any cash dividends on shares of the 
Common Stock registered in that Participant's name in the 
usual manner, when declared, and the Plan Administrator will 
apply only optional cash deposits received from the 
Participant toward the purchase of additional shares of the 
Common Stock.

  Each Participant may select any one of these three options.   Under 
each of these options, any future cash dividends will be reinvested on 
all Participating Shares and on all Plan Shares held in the Plan 
account, including dividends on shares of the Common Stock purchased 
with optional cash deposits, until a Participant specifies otherwise or 
withdraws from the Plan altogether, or until the Plan is terminated.  If 
a Participant would prefer to receive cash payments for dividends paid 
on Plan Shares rather than reinvest such dividends, those shares must be 
withdrawn from the Plan by written notification to the Plan 
Administrator. 

  The Company retains the right to limit the amount of optional cash 
deposits it accepts for investment during any month if the amount of 
such optional cash deposits exceeds the amount that the Company 
believes, in its sole discretion, it can invest in a timely manner.  In 
such case, each optional cash deposit of each Participant would be 
reduced by the same percentage and promptly returned without interest.

  Participants may change their investment options at any time by 
requesting a new Authorization Card and returning it to the Plan 
Administrator at the address set forth below.
	

Costs
<PAGE>  Participants in the Plan pay no service charges or other fees 
for enrolling and participating in the Plan.  All costs of 
administration of the Plan accounts are paid by the Company.  
Participants will pay their prorata portion of brokerage costs for 
shares purchased in the open market.  

Purchases and Price of Shares

  As of the date of this prospectus the price per share of authorized 
but unissued shares of the Common Stock purchased from the Company with 
reinvested dividends and optional cash deposits will be 97% of the 
Market Price (as defined).  The current 3% discount rate is subject to 
change by the Company. In no event, however, will the discount rate 
exceed 5%. "Investment Date" means the date on which dividends are paid 
each month. For the purchases of shares of Common Stock from the Company 
after February 1, 1994, "Market Price" means the highest of the 
following series of prices: (1) the average of the high and low sales 
prices of the Common Shares, as quoted under the New York Stock Exchange 
("NYSE") composite transaction, on the date that the distribution is 
declared; (2) the average of the daily closing prices of the Common 
Shares, as so quoted, for a period of 12 Trading Days prior to the 
Investment Date; and (3) the average of the high and low sales prices of 
the Common Shares, as so quoted, on the Trading Day prior to the 
Investment Date.  A "Trading Day" means a day on which the NYSE is open 
for trading.  The period encompassing the 12 Trading Days prior to the 
Investment Date of each month constitutes the relevant "Pricing Period".  
For purchases of shares of Common Stock from the Company on or prior to 
February 1, 1994, "Market Price" means the average of the daily high and 
low sale prices, computed to three decimal places, of the Common Stock 
as reported on the NYSE for the Pricing Period.

  Purchases on the open market will begin on the Investment Date and 
will be completed no later than 20 days from such date except where 
completion at a later date is necessary or advisable under any 
applicable federal securities laws.  Such purchases may be made on any 
securities exchange where such shares are traded, in the over-the-
counter market, or by negotiated transactions and may be subject to such 
terms with respect to price, delivery, and other terms as the Plan 
Administrator may agree to.  Neither the Company nor any Participant 
shall have any authority or power to direct the time or price at which 
shares may be purchased.

  For shares purchased in the open market, the price per share will be 
100% of the average price of all shares purchased for the Plan in all 
transactions in which such shares are purchased for a particular 
Investment Date.  If on any Investment Date shares are purchased both 
from the Company and in the open market, the total purchase price (and 
<PAGE>in turn any discount from the Market Price) will be pro rated 
among all Participants purchasing shares on such Investment Date.

  Purchases of shares of the Common Stock from the Company will be made 
on the relevant Investment Date.  A Participant's account in the Plan 
will be credited with that number of shares, plus fractional share 
interests computed to three decimal places, equal to the total amount to 
be invested on behalf of such Participant divided by the purchase price 
per share as calculated pursuant to the method described above.  The 
total amount to be invested will depend, subject to limitations 
described elsewhere herein, on the amount of any dividends paid on the 
number of Participating Shares and Plan Shares in such Participant's 
Plan account and any optional cash deposits made by such Participant and 
available for investment prior to the related Investment Date.

NO INTEREST WILL BE PAID BY THE COMPANY OR THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR ON ANY 
DIVIDENDS OR OPTIONAL CASH DEPOSITS HELD PENDING REINVESTMENT, 
INVESTMENT, OR, IF APPLICABLE, RETURNED.

Reinvested Dividends.  An Authorization Card requesting reinvestment of 
cash dividends must be received by the Plan Administrator on or before 
the record date established for a particular dividend. Purchases of 
shares of the Common Stock from the Company will be made on the 
Investment Date using the Market Price.  If an Authorization Card is 
received by the Plan Administrator after the record date established for 
a particular dividend, reinvestment of dividends will begin on the 
Investment Date following the next dividend record date, provided that 
such stockholder is still an eligible stockholder.

Optional Cash Deposits. All Registered Owners who have submitted signed 
Authorization Cards indicating their intention to participate in this 
feature of the Plan are eligible to make optional cash deposits during 
any month.  Each month the Plan Administrator, subject to certain 
limitations, will apply any optional cash deposit received from a 
Participant prior to the commencement of that month's Pricing Period to 
the purchase of additional shares of the Common Stock for the account of 
the Participant on the related Investment Date.  As of the date of this 
prospectus, the price per share of the Common Stock purchased from the 
Company with optional cash deposits will be 97% of the Market Price.

  The Company retains the right to limit the amount of optional cash 
deposits it accepts for investment during any month if the amount of 
such optional cash deposits exceeds the amount that the Company 
believes, in its sole discretion, it can invest in a timely manner.  In 
such case, each optional cash deposit of each Participant would be 
reduced by the same percentage and promptly returned without interest.
<PAGE>  A broker, bank or other nominee, as holder of shares of the 
Common Stock on behalf of a Beneficial Owner, may utilize the 
Authorization Card for optional cash deposits, unless such entity holds 
the shares in the name of a major securities depository.  If a broker, 
bank or other nominee holds shares of a Beneficial Owner in the name of 
a major securities depository, optional cash deposits must be made 
through the use of the B&N Form.

  Each optional cash deposit is subject to a minimum per month purchase 
limit of $50 and a maximum per month purchase limit of $10,000.  For 
purposes of these limitations, all Plan accounts under the common 
control or management of a Participant will be aggregated.  Optional 
cash deposits of less than $50 and any portion of an optional cash 
deposit which exceeds the $10,000 maximum purchase limit are subject to 
return to the Participant, without interest.  

  Participants in the Plan are not obligated to make any optional cash 
deposits at any time.  Optional cash deposits need not be in the same 
amount each month.

  Optional cash deposits will be invested in shares of the Common Stock 
each month.  Optional cash deposits received by the Plan Administrator 
prior to the commencement of a Pricing Period will be invested on the 
Investment Date immediately following such Pricing Period.  Optional 
cash deposits received during or after the commencement of a Pricing 
Period will be invested on the Investment Date immediately following the 
end of the next Pricing Period.

  Each month the Plan Administrator will apply any optional cash deposit 
for which funds are received prior to the commencement of a Pricing 
Period to the purchase of shares of the Common Stock for the account of 
the Participant on the Investment Date which relates to that Pricing 
Period.  Optional cash deposits may be made with a check or money order 
made payable to "First Union National Bank of N.C."   Wire transfers may 
be made; wiring instructions can be obtained from the Plan 
Administrator.

NO INTEREST WILL BE PAID BY THE COMPANY OR THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR ON 
OPTIONAL CASH DEPOSITS HELD PENDING INVESTMENT OR RETURNED.  OPTIONAL 
CASH DEPOSITS DO NOT CONSTITUTE DEPOSITS OR SAVINGS ACCOUNTS AND ARE NOT 
INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER 
GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY.

  In order for payments to be invested on the Investment Date, in 
addition to the receipt of funds prior to the commencement of a Pricing 
Period, the Plan Administrator must be in receipt of an Authorization 
Card or a B&N Form, as appropriate. 

Dividends on Shares Held in Plan
<PAGE>  Dividends paid on shares held in the Plan (less any required 
withholding tax) will be credited to your Plan account.  Dividends are 
paid on both full and fractional shares held in your account and are 
automatically reinvested.

Account Statements

  Each Participant will receive a statement of their account as soon as 
practicable after each Investment Date.  The statements will contain a 
report of all transactions since the last statement, including 
information with respect to the number of shares allocated to the 
account, the amount of dividends received which are allocable to the 
Participant, the amount of Common Stock purchased therewith and the 
price paid.  These statements are a continuing record of the cost of 
shares purchased and should be retained for income tax purposes.

  In addition, each Participant will receive, from time to time, 
communications sent to every other holder of the Common Stock.

  Each Participant will receive annually Internal Revenue Service 
information (on Form 1099) for reporting dividend income received.

Certificates for Shares

  The Certificates for shares purchased for a Participant's account will 
be held in the name of the Plan Administrator or its nominee.  The 
number of shares purchased will be shown on the monthly statement of 
account.  This feature permits ownership of fractional shares, protects 
against loss, theft or destruction of stock certificates, and reduces 
the costs of the Plan.  Certificates for any number of whole shares 
credited to a Participant's account will be issued in their name upon 
written request to the Plan Administrator.  Certificates for fractional 
shares will not be issued.  Should a Participant  want their 
certificates issued in a different name, such Participant must notify 
the Plan Administrator in writing and comply with applicable transfer 
requirements.  If a Participant wishes to sell any whole shares credited 
to their account under the Plan, they will have the option of either 
(i) receiving a certificate for such whole number of shares or 
(ii) requesting that such shares held in their account be sold, in which 
case the shares will be sold on the open market as soon as practicable.  
Brokerage commissions on such sales will not be paid by the Company, and 
will be deducted from the sales proceeds.  See "Termination of 
Participation." If a Participant wishes to pledge shares credited to 
their account, they must first have the certificate for those shares 
issued in their name.

Withdrawal of Shares in Plan Accounts

<PAGE>  Plan Shares credited to a Participant's account may be withdrawn 
by a Participant by notifying the Plan Administrator in writing, 
specifying the number of shares to be withdrawn.  A stock certificate 
for the number of whole shares of the Common Stock so withdrawn will be 
issued to and registered in the name of the Participant.  In no case 
will certificates be issued for fractional share interests credited to a 
Participant's Plan account.  Upon termination of participation in the 
Plan, a Participant will receive a check for the value of any fractional 
share interests, less the Participant's share of any related brokerage 
commissions and any applicable transfer taxes. 

  If the Participant has authorized "Full Dividend Reinvestment," cash 
dividends with respect to shares withdrawn from a Participant's account 
will continue to be reinvested unless such Participant sends the Plan 
Administrator a new Authorization Card specifying that reinvestment be 
discontinued on those shares.  If, however, cash dividends with respect 
to only a portion of the shares registered in a Participant's name are 
being reinvested, the Plan Administrator will continue to reinvest 
dividends on only the number of shares specified by the Participant on 
the Authorization Card unless a new Authorization Card specifying a 
different number of shares is delivered.

  Even if a Participant sells or transfers all of the shares of the 
Common Stock registered in the Participant's name, the Plan 
Administrator will continue to reinvest dividends on the Plan Shares 
held for the Participant's Plan account until a written request for 
withdrawal from the Plan is received from the Participant.  A 
Participant must maintain a balance in the Participant's Plan account in 
order to continue to participate in the Plan.

Termination of Participation

  Participants may discontinue reinvestment of dividends under the Plan 
with respect to any of their shares (including shares held in the Plan) 
at any time by notifying the Plan Administrator in writing.  A notice of 
termination received by the Plan Administrator after the record date for 
an Investment Date will not be effective until the next following 
Investment Date.

  If a Participant notifies the Plan Administrator of  termination of 
participation in the Plan with respect to all of their shares, or if a 
Participant's participation in the Plan is deemed to have been 
terminated or is terminated by the Company, such Participant  may elect 
either (i) to receive a certificate for whole shares credited to their 
account under the Plan or (ii) to request that any shares held in their 
account be sold, in which case the shares will be sold on the open 
market as soon as practicable.  In either case the Participant will be 
sent a check representing the value of any fractional share computed on 
<PAGE>the basis of the average of the high and low sales prices of the 
Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date 
their account is terminated.  Brokerage commissions on sales will not be 
paid by the Company, and will be deducted from the sales proceeds.  In 
addition, if a Participant terminates participation in the Plan with 
respect to all of their shares, they will be subject to a service charge 
imposed by the Plan Administrator, which will not be paid by the 
Company.  If the Company terminates the Plan, the Participant will 
receive a certificate for the number of whole shares credited to their 
account under the Plan and a check for the value of any fractional share 
(computed as described in the preceding paragraph).

  A participant who changes his address must promptly notify the Plan 
Administrator.  If a participant moves his residence to a state where 
shares offered pursuant to the Plan are not registered or exempt from 
registration under applicable securities laws, the Company may deem the 
participant to have terminated participation in the Plan. 

Voting of Shares Held Under the Plan

  Each Participant will be able to vote all shares of Common Stock 
(including fractional shares) credited to their account under the Plan 
at the same time that they vote the shares registered in their name on 
the records of the Company.

Stock Dividends, Stock Splits and Rights Offerings

  Any stock dividends or splits distributed by the Company with respect 
to shares held in the Plan for each Participant will be credited to his 
or her Plan account.  If the Company issues to its shareholders rights 
to subscribe to additional shares, such rights will be issued to 
Participants based on his or her total share holdings, including shares 
held in his or her Plan account.  

Responsibility of the Plan Administrator and the Company Under the Plan

  First Union, as the Plan Administrator, will not be liable for any 
claim based on an act done in good faith or a good faith omission to 
act.  This includes, without limitation, any claim of liability arising 
out of failure to terminate a participant's account upon a participant's 
death, the prices at which shares are purchased, the times when 
purchases are made, or fluctuations in the market price of Common Stock.

  All notices from the Plan Administrator to a participant will be 
mailed to the participant at his last address of record with the Plan 
Administrator, which will satisfy the Plan Administrator's duty to give 
notice.  Participants must promptly notify the Plan Administrator of any 
change in address.
<PAGE>  Participants should recognize that neither the Company nor the 
Plan Administrator can provide any assurance of a profit or protection 
against loss on any shares purchased under the Plan.

Interpretation and Regulation of the Plan

  The Company reserves the right, without notice to participants, to 
interpret and regulate the Plan as it deems necessary or desirable in 
connection with its operation.  Any such interpretation and regulation 
shall be conclusive. 

Change in or Discontinuance of the Plan

  While the Company hopes to continue the Plan indefinitely, it reserves 
the right to suspend or discontinue the Plan at any time, including the 
period between a dividend record date and the related dividend payment 
date.  It also reserves the right to make modifications to the Plan, 
including the right to change the discount rate, or to suspend or 
discontinue the discount. Under no circumstances will the discount rate 
exceed 5%.  Participants will be notified of any such suspension, 
discontinuance or material modification.  The Company also reserves the 
right to terminate any Participant's participation in the Plan at any 
time.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of Participation in the Plan 

  The following discussion summarizes the principal federal income tax 
consequences, under current law, of participation in the Plan.  It does 
not address all potentially relevant federal income tax matters, 
including consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions 
of federal income tax law (such as tax-exempt organizations, insurance 
companies, and foreign persons).  The discussion is based on various 
rulings of the Internal Revenue Service regarding several types of 
dividend reinvestment plans.  No ruling, however, has been issued or 
requested regarding the Plan.  The following discussion is for  general 
information only, and Participants must consult their own tax advisors 
to determine the particular tax consequences that may result from 
participation in the Plan and the disposition of any shares purchased 
pursuant to the Plan.

Reinvested Dividends. Participants in the Plan will be treated for 
federal income tax purposes as having received, on the dividend payment 
date, a distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value on that 
date of the shares acquired with reinvested dividends (plus a pro rata 
portion of any brokerage cost incurred in open market purchases of the 
shares).  Such shares will have an initial tax basis equal to the same 
amount.  For federal income tax purposes, the fair market value of 
shares acquired with reinvested dividends under the Plan should be equal 
<PAGE>to 100% of the average of the high and low sale prices of the 
shares, rounded to the nearest eighth of a dollar, on the dividend 
payment date.  It should be noted that the fair market value on the 
dividend payment date is likely to differ from the Market Price.  The 
amount treated as a distribution will constitute a dividend for federal 
income tax purposes to the same extent that a cash distribution would be 
so treated.  The holding period for a share of Common Stock (including a 
fractional share) generally will begin on the day after the dividend 
payment date that the share was acquired.  The holding period of a whole 
share resulting from the acquisition of two or more fractional shares on 
different dividend payment dates normally will be split between the 
holding periods of the fractional components comprising the whole share.

Optional Cash Payments.  Participants will be treated as having received 
a distribution upon the purchase of shares with an optional cash deposit 
in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of 
the shares on the date on which they were acquired (plus a pro rata 
portion of any brokerage cost incurred in open market purchases of the 
shares) over the amount of the optional cash deposit.  Such shares will 
have an initial tax basis equal to the amount of the deposit plus the 
excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares purchased over 
the amount of the deposit.  The fair market value on an acquisition date 
is likely to differ from the Market Price.  The amount treated as a 
distribution will constitute a dividend for federal income tax purposes 
to the same extent that a cash distribution would be so treated.  The 
holding period for a share of Common Stock (including a fractional 
share) generally will begin on the day after the dividend payment date 
that the share was acquired.  The holding period of a whole share 
resulting from the acquisition of two or more fractional shares on 
different dividend payment dates normally will be split between the 
holding periods of the fractional components comprising the whole share.

Receipt of Share Certificates and Cash.  A Participant will not realize 
any taxable income other than that described above upon the mere receipt 
of certificates for whole shares credited to the Participant's account, 
either upon the Participant's request for certain of those shares or 
upon termination in the Plan.  A Participant will realize gain or loss 
upon the sale or exchange of shares acquired under the Plan.  A 
Participant will also realize gain or loss upon receipt, following 
termination of participation in the Plan, of a cash payment for any 
fractional share interests credited to the Participant's account.  The 
amount of any such gain or loss will be the difference between the 
amount that the Participant received for the shares or fractional share 
interests (net of any applicable fees or expenses) and the tax basis 
thereof.

<PAGE>Plan of Distribution

  The Common Stock sold under the Plan is being distributed directly by 
the Company rather than through an underwriter, broker or dealer.  There 
will be no brokerage commissions or other fees charged to Participants 
in connection with purchases of the Common Stock made directly through 
the Company under the Plan. Participants will be charged a pro rata 
portion of brokerage costs for shares purchased in the open market. Upon 
withdrawal by a Participant from the Plan by the sale of the Common 
Stock held under the Plan, the Participant will receive the proceeds of 
such sale less any related brokerage commissions and any applicable 
transfer taxes.  

  Persons who satisfy the eligibility requirements for participation in 
the Plan, including brokers or dealers, will be permitted to purchase 
additional shares through optional cash deposits at a discount from the 
Market Price (as defined above) subject to the applicable $50 minimum 
and $10,000 maximum purchase limitations per month.  

  The Common Stock may not be available under the Plan in all states.  
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation 
of an offer to buy, any shares of the Common Stock or other securities 
in any state or any other jurisdiction to any person to whom it is 
unlawful to make such offer in such jurisdiction.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers of the Company

  Directors and officers of the Company shall be indemnified against 
liabilities, fines, penalties, and claims imposed upon or asserted 
against them, except for matters as to which they are liable because of 
willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law, as 
provided in the Company's Articles of Incorporation and the Virginia 
Stock Corporation Act.  This indemnification covers all costs and 
expenses reasonably incurred by a director or officer.  In addition, the 
Virginia Stock Corporation Act and the Company's Articles of 
Incorporation may, under certain circumstances, eliminate the liability 
of directors and officers in a shareholder or derivative proceeding. 

  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or 
controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 
the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and 
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as 
expressed in the 1933 Act and is therefore unenforceable.  In the event 
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by 
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the 
securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of 
<PAGE>its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, 
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such 
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 15.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

          The Virginia Stock Corporation Act and the Company's Articles 
of Incorporation provide for indemnification of the Company's 
directors and officers in a variety of circumstances, which may 
include liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.  The 
Company's Articles of Incorporation require indemnification of 
directors and officers with respect to certain liabilities, 
expenses, and other amounts imposed on them by reason of having 
been a director or officer, except in the case of willful 
misconduct or a knowing violation of criminal law.  The Company 
also carries insurance on behalf of directors, officers, employees 
or agents which may cover liabilities under the Securities Act of 
1933.  In addition, the Virginia Stock Corporation Act and the 
Company's Articles of Incorporation eliminate the liability of a 
director or officer of the Company in a shareholder or derivative 
proceeding except in the event of willful misconduct or a knowing 
violation of the criminal law or of federal or state securities 
laws.

Item 17.     Undertakings

     (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows:

          1.       To file, during any period in which offers or sales 
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this 
registration statement.

            (i)    To include any prospectus required by section
                   10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

           (ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or 
                   events arising after the effective date of 
                   the registration statement (or the most 
                   recent post-effective amendment thereof)
                   which, individually or in the aggregate,
                   represent a fundamental change in the 
                   information set forth in the registration 
                   statement;

         (iii)     To include any material information with
                   respect to the plan of distribution not 
                   previously disclosed in the registration 
<PAGE>                   statement or any material change to such
                   information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and 
(a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to

incorporated by reference in the registration 
statement.

2.      That, for the purpose of determining any liability 
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-
effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new

offered therein, and the offering of such securities at 
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide 
offering thereof.

3.      To remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being 
registered which remain unsold at the termination of 
the offering.

      (b)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for 
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities 
Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report 
pursuant to Section 13(a) of 15(d) of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of 
an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that 
is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating

securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial 
bona fide offering thereof.

Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it 
meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has caused this 
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,

                  Resource Mortgage Capital, Inc.
                  Registration Statement on Form S-3

Dear Sirs:

  We have acted as counsel to Resource Mortgage Capital, Inc., a 
Virginia corporation (the "Company"), in connection with its 
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement"), filed 
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), relating to 
the registration of 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, $.01 par 
value, to be issued pursuant to the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and 
Stock Purchase Plan.

  In that connection, we have examined originals or copies of such 
documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed 
necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion, including the 
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and By-laws of the Company.  We 
have assumed without independent verification the genuineness of 
signatures, the authenticity of documents, and the conformity with 
originals of copies.

  Based upon the foregoing, we are of opinion that the shares being sold 
by the Company, when issued and sold in accordance with the terms of the 
Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan described in the 
Registration Statement, will be validly issued, fully paid and 
non-assessable.

  We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the 
Registration Statement.

  By giving the foregoing consent, we do not admit that we come within 
the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the 
Act.

                                      Very truly yours,


                                  Venable, Baetjer & Howard

Dear Shareholder:

  We appreciate your choice of Resource Mortgage Capital, Inc. to help 
meet your financial goals and we are proud of the confidence you have 
placed in us.  In the enclosed Prospectus you will find detailed 
information about the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase 
Plan.

  The Plan provides you with a convenient and economical way to reinvest 
cash dividends and optional cash deposits in additional shares of the 
Company's common stock purchased automatically through the Plan 
Administrator at a discount, in most cases, to the market price; as of 
the date of the Prospectus, the discount is 3%. See the section entitled 
"The Plan" within the Prospectus.  First Union National Bank of North 
Carolina ("First Union"), the transfer agent, acts as the Plan 
Administrator for participating shareholders.

  Here are answers to a few commonly-asked questions about the Company's 
dividend reinvestment plan.  Please read the enclosed Prospectus 
carefully before deciding whether to participate.  Each shareholder 
currently participating in the Plan will continue to participate without 
any further action required on his or her part.

What is the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan?

  As a shareholder in the Company, you have the opportunity to re-invest 
your cash dividends in additional shares of the common stock at a 
discount, in most cases, from the market price.  This service is offered 
by the Company for your benefit through First Union, the dividend 
disbursing agent for the Company.  To supplement your stock 
acquisitions, you may also send additional cash payments to First Union 
prior to each dividend payment date ("Investment Date").

What options are available?

  The Authorization Card provides for the purchase of additional shares 
of the Company's common stock through the following investment options:

    (1) Full Dividend Reinvestment - the Plan Administrator will apply 
any cash dividends on all shares of the common stock registered in your 
name, together with any optional cash deposits, toward the purchase of 
additional shares of the common stock.

    (2) Partial Dividend Reinvestment - the Plan Administrator will 
apply any cash dividends on only the number of participating shares you 
<PAGE>specify on the Authorization Card, together with any optional cash 
deposits, toward the purchase of additional shares of the Common Stock.

    (3) Optional Cash Deposits Only - you will continue to receive any 
cash dividends on shares of the Common Stock registered in your name, 
and the Plan Administrator will apply only optional cash deposits 
received from you toward the purchase of additional shares of the Common 
Stock.

  The Company retains the right to limit the amount of optional cash 
deposits it accepts for investment during any month if the amount of 
such optional cash deposits exceeds the amount that the Company 
believes, in its sole discretion, it can invest in a timely manner.  In 
such case, each optional cash deposit of each Participant would be 
reduced by the same percentage and promptly returned without interest.

Can I change my options?

  Yes.  Participants may change their investment options at any time by 
requesting a new Authorization Card and returning it to First Union at 
the address listed on the back of the card.

How does the plan work?

  All you have to do is enroll.  Once you have enrolled, First Union 
will automatically reinvest your dividends.  Each dividend period, First 
Union will purchase shares of Resource Mortgage at a discount to the 
current market price with your dividend and, up to the Company's limit, 
any additional cash payments you send them.  Shares purchased for you, 
including fractional shares, will be credited to your account.

  Certificates for shares purchased under the Plan will be held by First 
Union, at no cost to you, until you request  delivery of the 
certificates to you.

How do I enroll?

  All shareholders of the Company are eligible.  If you hold  shares of 
Resource Mortgage in your own name, complete the Authorization Card in 
the back of the enclosed prospectus and mail it to First Union at the 
address provided on the card to enroll.  Stockholders previously 
enrolled in the Plan will continue to participate without any further 
action required on their part.

  If your stock is registered in a name other than your own (e.g., in 
the name of a broker or bank nominee) and you want to participate in the 
Plan, you may request that your broker or nominee enroll on your behalf.  
Participants whose shares are registered in the name of their broker or 
nominee must verify for themselves the extent to which the broker or 
nominee will provide all of the services and features of the Plan 
directly to the Participant.  All communications regarding the Plan by 
these shareholders must be made directly to the broker or nominee.  See 
<PAGE>the section entitled "Enrollment" within the prospectus for 
further details.

Is there a cost to participate?

  Resource Mortgage will pay all costs relating to the administration 
and maintenance of the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan.  
There will be no brokerage commission on shares issued by and purchased 
from the Company.  For shares purchased on the open market, you will pay 
a pro rata portion of brokerage commissions each dividend period.  

Whom should I contact for additional information?

Dividend Reinvestment Plan should be directed to:
