LEI Financial Expands Mortgage Services to South Dakota


SAN DIEGO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- December 4, 2006 -- LEI Financial, one of the fastest growing mortgage and financial services providers in the United States, is now licensed to provide a wide range of mortgage products -- and financial freedom -- to people in South Dakota. South Dakota has become the 15th state where LEI's products are sold.

"We're thrilled to be able to bring our unique products and approach to mortgages, real estate, and personal finance to the people in South Dakota," said LEI CEO Bill Lyons. "South Dakota is seeing tremendous growth in both the job market and construction industry, which is positive news for housing and mortgages. The state has been adding jobs across many different sectors at a rapid pace. They have seen sustained growth in the construction industry, which has led to a demand for construction and development loans."

In addition to traditional mortgages, LEI specializes in home loans that let families take advantage of the equity in their homes to help build their wealth. By cashing out some of that equity and investing it, homeowners can turn wealth that would have been sitting in a house and doing nothing into an important piece of their financial health. This "Velocity of Money" approach gives people the leverage to have their money perform multiple jobs at the same time. LEI's Equity Advantage, Equity Management, Wealth Builder, and Credit Resolution loans also allow people the freedom of making very small monthly payments.
