RE: Radian Group Inc. – 5.375% Senior Notes due 2015

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Radian Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of an aggregate of $250,000,000 principal amount of the Company’s 5.375% Senior Notes due 2015 (the “Securities”) pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of June 7, 2005, as supplemented by an Officers’ Certificate, dated as of June 7, 2005, executed pursuant to Section 2.02(b) of the Indenture fixing the terms of the Securities (such Indenture, as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

In connection therewith, we have examined (a) the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-118220), as amended (the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company and the other related registrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (b) the prospectus of the Company dated March 21, 2005, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement, dated June 2, 2005, relating to the Securities, as filed with the Commission on June 6, 2005, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (the “Prospectus”), and (c) the Indenture. In addition, we have examined the originals (or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of such other agreements, instruments, certificates, documents, and records and have reviewed such questions of law and made such inquiries as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of the opinions rendered herein.

In such examination, we have assumed, without inquiry, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures on all documents examined by us, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the original documents of all such documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. We have also assumed that the books and records of the Company are maintained in accordance with proper corporate procedures. As to all facts material to our opinion, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon the aforesaid agreements, instruments, certificates, documents, and records and upon statements and certificates of officers and representatives of the Company and public officials.

The opinions rendered herein are limited to the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Federal laws of the United States.
