GMAC-RFC Announces $558 Million HLTV Transaction; GMAC-RFC's HLTV Securitization Volume Reaches $1.42 Billion in Third Quarter

    MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- GMAC-Residential Funding Corporation
(GMAC-RFC) today announced the closing of a $558 million, high-loan-to-value
(HLTV) home equity loan securitization, its third HLTV transaction of the
year.  For the first three quarters of 1999, GMAC-RFC has securitized more
than $1.42 billion in HLTV product, placing GMAC-RFC among the largest HLTV
issuers to date.  This volume demonstrates GMAC-RFC's continued dominance in
the HLTV securitization business.
    GMAC-RFC issued a $440 million HLTV securitization in March and a
$425 million HLTV securitization in June.  Despite last year's industry
turbulence, GMAC-RFC continues as an active buyer of HLTV product.
    "We have every intention of reaching our goal of $2 billion of HLTV
securitization product this year," said Jeff Detwiler, GMAC-RFC managing
director of capital markets and risk management.  "We have closed a
transaction in every quarter of 1999 and we expect to place another before the
end of the year.  This market continues to generate great opportunities for
GMAC-RFC.
    "High-quality product is our primary focus," Detwiler continued.  "Our
unique servicing capabilities and strict underwriting standards are our
advantages to effectively managing our portfolios."
    GMAC-RFC, a wholly owned subsidiary of GMAC, is committed to providing
capital and investments worldwide through its core businesses in
securitization, lending and investment.  The company is the leading
non-agency issuer of mortgage-backed securities and a leader in warehouse
