Re:      Delta Funding Corporation
         Registration Statement on Form S-3
         (No. 333-3418)
         -----------------------------------


Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Delta Funding Corporation ("Delta") in connection
with the issuance of $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Home Equity Loan
Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 1998-1 (the "Certificates"). A Registration
Statement on Form S-3 relating to the Certificates (No. 333-3418) (the
"Registration Statement") has been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
and was declared effective on January 17, 1997. As set forth in the Prospectus
dated March 26, 1998 and the Prospectus Supplement dated March 26, 1998, the
Certificates will be issued by a trust established by Delta pursuant to the
provisions of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 28, 1998
(the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement") between Delta, as Seller and Servicer,
and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee.

We have examined a form of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a form of the
Certificates, and a form of the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement referred to
above. We also have examined such other documents, papers, statutes and
authorities as we have deemed necessary to form the basis for the opinions
hereinafter expressed. In our examination of such material, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us
as originals and the conformity to original documents of copies of documents
submitted to us.

On the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the information in the
Prospectus Supplement under the caption "Federal Income Tax Considerations," and
in the Prospectus under the caption "Federal Income Tax Considerations," to the
extent that it constitutes matters of law or legal conclusions, is correct in
all material respects.

This opinion is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and judicial
and administrative interpretations thereof.

Except as provided below, this opinion is solely for the benefit of the
addressee hereof and may not be relied upon in any manner by any other person or
entity.

<PAGE>

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement, to the references to us in the Prospectus Supplement,
and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to an application made by or on
behalf of Delta or any dealer in connection with the registration of the
Certificates under the securities or blue sky laws of any state or jurisdiction.
In giving such permission, we do not admit hereby that we come within the
category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities
Act or the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP

o        Group F Certificate Structure

                   The Class A-6F Certificates will be a Non Accelerated
                  Senior security ("NAS"), otherwise referred to as a
                  Lockout Bond. This class will be locked out from all
                  principal payments for the first three years and
                  afterward will receive scheduled percentages of the
                  amount of principal available for distribution each
                  month (See "Terms of the Offering - Principal").
                   The Class A-1F, M-1F, M-2F and B-1F Certificates (the
                  "Group F Floating Rate Certificates") are floating
                  rate certificates based off 1 month LIBOR that pay
                  interest on an actual/360 day basis and accrue from
                  Payment Date to Payment Date (or from the Closing Date
                  in the case of the first Payment Date).
                   The Group F Floating Rate Certificates are subject to
                  an available funds cap (the "Group F Available Funds
                  Cap") equal to the weighted average Loan Rate on the
                  Group F loans minus the sum of (i) the servicing and
                  trustee fee rates (0.50625%) and (ii) the Class F-IO
                  coupon expressed as a percentage of the Group F loans.
                  The Group F Available Funds Cap equals approximately
                  8.90% initially, declines though month 36 and
                  thereafter equals approximately 10.04%. See
                  Sensitivity of Group F Available Funds Cap herein. The
                  Group F Floating Rate Subordinate Certificates are
                  also subject to a stated cap of 12%.
                   If the optional termination is not exercised when the
                  combined Group F and Group A pool balance falls below
                  10% of the combined Group F and Group A Original
                  Collateral Amount (as defined below), the margins on
                  the Class M-1F, M-2F and B-1F Certificates (the "Group
                  F Subordinate Floating Rate Certificates") will step
                  up to one and a half times the respective initial
                  margin on such Class.
                   The Group F Subordinate Floating Rate Certificates
                  have a catch-up feature that reimburses investors for
                  unpaid interest due to Available Funds Cap limitations
                  ("LIBOR Carryover Shortfalls"), with accrued interest
                  thereon, on future Distribution Dates from the Group F
                  remaining excess interest. The catch-up feature will
                  not reimburse interest above the stated cap.

o        Group F Credit Enhancement

                   Senior/subordinate structure with credit enhancement
                  at each rating level as shown below. The credit
                  enhancement levels at each rating level will step down
                  after month 36 such that the targeted enhancement
                  level at each rating level is maintained.
                   Monthly Subordination of Excess Interest
                   (approximately 2.67% per annum at Cutoff Date). Build
                   up of Overcollateralization ("OC") through
                   distributions of excess interest as principal to
                  Certificateholders to achieve a target of 3.00% of the
                  sum of the Closing Date Group F Pool Balance and the
                  original amount on deposit in the Prefunding Account
                  allocated to Group F (such sum, the "Group F Original
                  Collateral Amount").
                   As with credit enhancement levels, the Group F OC
                  will step down after month 36 to 6.00% of the
                  outstanding pool balance subject to a floor of 0.50%
                  of the Group F Original Collateral Amount.

o        Group A Certificate Structure

                   The Class A-1A Certificates are fixed rate
                  Certificates which are not scheduled to receive
                  principal payments for the 20 months. Thereafter, they
                  receive 90% of the Group A senior principal payments
                  until retired.

                   The Class A-2A, M-1A, M-2A and B-1A Certificates (the
                  "Group A Floating Rate Certificates") are floating
                  rate certificates based off 1 month LIBOR that pay
                  interest on an actual/360 day basis.

                   The Group A Floating Rate Certificates are subject to
                  an available funds cap (the "Group A Available Funds
                  Cap") equal to the weighted average Loan Rate on the
                  Group A loans minus the sum of (i) the servicing and
                  trustee fee rates (0.50625%) and (ii) the Class A-IO
                  coupon expressed as a percentage of the Group A loans.
                  The Group A Available Funds Cap equals approximately
                  9.25% at the Cutoff Date. The Group A Floating Rate
                  Certificates are also subject to a stated cap equal to
                  15%.

                   The weighted average loan rate on the Group A loans
                  is approximately 10.50%. at the Cutoff Date. The
                  weighted average lifetime cap is approximately 17.02%
                  at the Cutoff Date. The lifetime maximum Group A
                  Available Funds Cap is approximately 16.51% after
                  month 36, based on the weighted average lifetime cap
                  as of the Cutoff Date.

                   The Group A Floating Rate Certificates have a
                  catch-up feature that reimburses investors for unpaid
                  interest due to Available Funds Cap limitations
                  ("LIBOR Carryover Shortfalls") with accrued interest
                  thereon, on future Distribution Dates from the Group A
                  remaining excess interest. The catch-up feature will
                  not reimburse interest above the stated cap.

                  If the optional termination is not exercised when the
                  combined Group F and Group A pool balance falls below
                  10% of the combined Group F and Group A Original
                  Collateral Amount, the margins on the Group A Floating
                  Rate Certificates will step up to:

                  i)   two times the initial margin on the Group A Senior 
                       Certificates (Class A-2A)

                  ii) one and a half times the initial margin on the
                      Group A Subordinate Certificates (Classes M-1A,
                      M-2A and B-1A).

o        Group A Credit Enhancement

                   Senior/subordinate structure with credit enhancement
                  at each rating level as shown below. The credit
                  enhancement levels at each rating level will step down
                  after month 36 such that the targeted enhancement
                  level at each rating level is maintained.

                   Monthly Subordination of Excess Interest
                   (approximately equal to 3.10% per annum at Cutoff).
                   Build up of Overcollateralization ("OC") through
                   distributions of excess interest as principal to
                  Certificateholders to achieve a target 2.25% of the
                  sum of the Closing Date Group A Pool Balance and the
                  original amount on deposit in the Prefunding Account
                  allocated to Group A (such sum, the "Group A Original
                  Collateral Amount").

                   As with credit enhancement levels, the Group A OC
                  will step down after month 36 to 5.625% of the
                  outstanding pool balance subject to a floor of 0.50%
                  of the Group A Original Collateral Amount.

                  excess interest in either group, after covering any
                  shortfalls in that group (which shortfalls do not
                  inlcude LIBOR Carryover Shortfalls), can be used to
                  cover shortfalls in interest in the other group (which
