ITEM 5.     Other Events
            ------------

            On September 28, 2000, GE Capital Mortgage Services, Inc., a New
Jersey corporation (the "Registrant"), sold REMIC Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2000-12, Class A, Class R, Class M, Class B1 and Class B2
(the "Offered Certificates"), having an aggregate original principal balance of
$124,924,924.00. The Offered Certificates were issued pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2000, between the Registrant and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee (the "Agreement"), a copy of
which is filed as an exhibit hereto. REMIC Mortgage-Pass Through Certificates,
Class PO and Class S, having an aggregate initial principal balance of
$916,238.06 and Class B3, Class B4 and Class B5, having an aggregate initial
principal balance of $633,596.17 (the "Private Class B Certificates" and,
together with the Class PO and Class S Certificates and the Offered
Certificates, the "Certificates"), were also issued pursuant to the Agreement.

            As of the date of initial issuance, the Offered Certificates
evidenced an approximate 98.77% undivided interest in a trust (the "Trust"),
consisting principally of a pool of fixed interest rate, conventional, monthly
pay, fully-amortizing, one- to four-family residential first mortgage loans. The
remaining undivided interests in the Trust are evidenced by the Class PO, Class
S and Private Class B Certificates. Distributions on the Private Class B
Certificates are subordinated to distributions on the Offered Certificates, the
Class PO and Class S Certificates.

            Interest on the Offered Certificates will be distributed on each
Distribution Date (as defined in the Agreement). Monthly distributions in
reduction of the principal balance of the Offered Certificates will be allocated
to the Offered Certificates in accordance with the priorities set forth in the
Agreement. Distributions of interest and in reduction of principal balance on
any Distribution Date will be made to the extent that Available Funds are
sufficient therefor.

            An election will be made to treat the Trust as a REMIC for federal
income tax purposes (the "REMIC"). The Class A, Class PO, Class S, Class M,
Class B1, Class B2, Class B3, Class B4 and Class B5 Certificates will be treated
as "regular interests" in the REMIC and the Class R Certificates will be treated
as the "residual interest" in the REMIC.
