            Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

            Description of the Notes and the Mortgage Loans

            Residential Asset Funding Corporation registered issuances of up to
$500,000,000 principal amount of Asset Backed Notes and Asset Backed
Certificates on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), by the Registration Statements
on Form S-3 (Registration File No. 333-64775) (the "Registration Statement").
Pursuant to the Registration Statement, RBMG Funding Co. Mortgage Loan Trust
1998-2 (the "Issuer") issued $170,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its
Asset Backed Notes, Class A-1 and Class A-2, Series 1998-2 (the "Notes"), on
December 11, 1998. This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to satisfy an
undertaking to file copies of certain agreements executed in connection with the
issuance of the Notes.

            The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture (the "Indenture")
attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, dated as of December 1, 1998, between RBMG
Funding Co. Mortgage Loan Trust 1998-2, and The Bank of New York, in its
capacity as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"). The Notes represent
non-recourse obligations of the Issuer, which obligations are secured by a
pledge of mortgage loans and certain related property. The Bank of New York will
serve as indenture trustee with respect to the Notes.

            The assets of the Trust consist primarily of (i) two groups of fixed
and adjustable rate, residential one- to four-family, first lien mortgage loans
(the "Mortgage Loans") to be pledged to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of
the holders of the Notes, (ii) all payments in respect of principal and interest
on the Mortgage Loans (other than any principal or interest payments on the
Mortgage Loans due on or prior to the applicable Cut-Off Date), (iii) the
Issuer's rights under the Depositor Sale Agreement and the Servicing Agreement,
(iv) the rights of the Indenture Trustee under the Insurance Policy, (v) the
Pre-Funding Accounts, and funds on deposit therein and (vi) certain other
property.

            Interest distributions on each Class of Notes are based on the
aggregate principal balance thereof and the then applicable Note Interest Rate
thereof. With respect to the Class A-1 Notes, the Note Interest Rate is LIBOR
plus 0.64% for each Interest Period prior to the Redemption Date and LIBOR plus
1.28% for each Interest Period thereafter. With respect to the Class A-2 Notes,
the Note Interest Rate is LIBOR plus 0.65% for each Interest Period prior to the
Redemption Date and LIBOR plus 1.30% for each Interest Period thereafter.

            As of December 1, 1998, the Mortgage Loans possessed the
characteristics described in the Prospectus dated November 10, 1998 and the
Prospectus Supplement dated December 9, 1998 filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) of
the Act on December 10, 1998.
