 PROFILE
HomeGold Financial originates, services, and sells residential mortgages to those with credit problems. Its mortgage loans, provided primarily on single-family residences under the HomeGold name, are used for refinancing, debt consolidation, home improvements, and education; they generally have an average interest rate of 10%-15%. Although almost half of originations were made through a national network of mortgage bankers, the company has dropped its wholesale operation in favor of expanded direct-mail and call center marketing. The company sold all of its small business and auto loan operations to focus on its core business, buying HomeSense Financial, another South Carolina sub-prime mortgage lender, in 2000.
