     WHEREAS, HOMEOWNERS MORTGAGE & EQUITY, INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION, D/B/A
HOME, INC. (hereinafter called the "BORROWER"), desire to borrow from GUARANTY
FEDERAL BANK, F.S.B. (the "BANK"), the principal sum of FIVE MILLION AND NO/100
DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00) (collectively, the "LOAN"); and

     WHEREAS, said borrowings are to be made by the Borrower pursuant to and
under the terms of that Working Capital Line of Credit and Security Agreement
[Servicing Secured] dated effective as of NOVEMBER 8, 1996, between the Borrower

     WHEREAS, the undersigned desires the Bank to modify the Loan Agreement and

benefits Guarantor.

     The obligations of the Guarantor shall be performable without demand of the
Bank and shall be unconditional irrespective of the genuineness, validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement or the Note, or any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of
a surety or a guarantor; and the Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment,
demand of payment, protest, all notices (whether of nonpayment, acceleration,
dishonor, protest or otherwise) with respect to the Note, notice of acceptance

Bank, to (a) proceed against the Borrower, (b) proceed against or exhaust any
collateral held by the Bank to secure the payment of the indebtedness guaranteed
hereby, or (c) pursue any other remedy the Bank may now or hereafter have
against the Borrower.

     The Guarantor hereby agrees that, at any time or from time to time, without

          (1) The time for payment of the principal of or interest on the Note
     evidencing the Loan may be extended or the Note may be renewed in whole or
     in part;

                                                                      __________

          (2) The time for the Borrower's performance of or compliance with any
     covenant or agreement contained in the Loan Agreement, the Note and/or any
     other instrument evidencing, securing or governing the disbursement of the
     Loan, whether presently existing or hereinafter entered into, may be
     extended or such performance or compliance may be waived;

          (3) The maturity of the Note may be accelerated as provided therein or
     in the Loan Agreement and/or any other instrument evidencing, securing or
     governing the disbursement of the Loan, whether presently existing or
     hereinafter entered into;

          (4) The Loan Agreement, the Note and/or any other instrument
     evidencing, securing or governing the disbursement of the Loan, whether
     presently existing or hereinafter entered into, may be modified or amended
     by the Bank and the Borrower in any respect, including, but not limited to,
     an increase in the principal amount; and

          (5) Any security for the Loan may be modified, exchanged, surrendered
     or otherwise dealt with and/or additional security may be pledged or
     mortgaged for the Loan;

all without affecting the liability of the Guarantor.

     The Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the withdrawal from, or termination
of, any ownership interest in Borrower shall not alter, affect or in any way
limit the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.

     If this Guaranty shall be placed in the hands of an attorney for collection
or should it be collected by legal proceedings or through any probate or
bankruptcy court, the Guarantor agrees to pay to the Bank's reasonable
attorneys' or collection fees.

any indebtedness guaranteed hereby.

     The Bank is relying and is entitled to rely upon each and all of the
provisions of this Guaranty; and accordingly, if any provision or provisions of

provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

     The Guarantor acknowledges that the Loan represents money which will be

material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of the Guarantor
reflected therein since the date thereof.

     The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Bank that:

     (a) Neither the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, nor the
consummation of any of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, nor
compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or with the terms and provisions
thereof, will materially contravene or conflict with any provision of law,
statute or

permit applicable to Guarantor, or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or
other agreement or instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which
Guarantor may be bound, or to which Guarantor may be subject.

     (b) Guarantor is not in default (and no event exists which with notice or
the passage of time could become a default) under any loan agreement, mortgage,
security agreement or other material agreement or obligation to which it is a
party or by which any of its properties is bound including but not limited to
the Loan Documents.

     (c) There are no actions, suits or legal, equitable, arbitration or
administrative proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of Guarantor, threatened
against Guarantor.

     (d) All tax returns required to be filed by the Guarantor in any
jurisdiction have been filed or extended and all taxes, assessments, fees and
other governmental charges upon Guarantor or upon any of its properties, income
or franchises have been paid prior to the time that such taxes could give rise
to a lien thereon, unless protested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been established on
the books of Guarantor.  The Guarantor has no knowledge of any proposed tax
assessment against Guarantor.

     (e) Guarantor shall permit any authorized officer, employee or agent of the
Bank, to visit and inspect any of the business properties of the Guarantor,
examine Guarantor's books of record and accounts, take copies and extracts
therefrom, and inspect and discuss the procedures, finances and accounts of
Guarantor with Guarantor's accountants and auditors, all at such reasonable
times and as often as Bank may desire.  Guarantor shall furnish such reports as
Bank may reasonably request.

     Notwithstanding any provision in this Guaranty to the contrary, Guarantor
hereby waives and releases (i) any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnification or contribution which it may have, against others liable on all
or any part of the Loan, (ii) any and all rights to be subrogated the rights of
the Bank in any collateral or security for all or any part of the Loan, and
(iii) any and all other rights and claims of such Guarantor against Borrower or
any third party as a result of such Guarantor's payment of all or any part of
the Loan.

     Capitalized terms not defined herein are used as defined in the Loan
Agreement.

     The obligations of the Guarantor and any other guarantor of the Note
evidencing the Loan shall be joint and several.  The Guarantor agrees that the
Bank, in its sole discretion, may (i) bring suit against the Guarantor and any
other guarantor of the Note evidencing the Loan jointly and severally or against
any one or more of them, (ii) compound or settle with any one or more of the
guarantors of the Note evidencing the Loan for such consideration as the Bank
may deem proper, (iii) release one or more of the guarantors of the Note
evidencing the Loan from liability thereunder, and (iv) otherwise deal with the
Guarantor and any other guarantors of the Note, or any one or more of them, in
any manner whatsoever; and that no such action shall impair the rights of the
Bank to collect the indebtedness hereby guaranteed from the Guarantor.  Nothing
contained in this paragraph shall in any way affect or impair the rights or
obligations of the Guarantor with respect to any other guarantor of the Note
evidencing the Loan.

     Any indebtedness of the Borrower to the Guarantor now or hereafter existing

any interest thereon, shall be, and such indebtedness is hereby subordinated

remain a claim that is prior and superior to any claim of the Guarantor
notwithstanding any contrary practice, custom or ruling in proceedings under the
Bankruptcy Code generally), the Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or
satisfaction of any kind of any indebtedness of the Borrower to the Guarantor,
except with respect to the payment of any dividends declared by the Borrower,
the payment of which will not cause the Borrower to breach any covenant under
the Loan Agreement, and except with respect to any other payment for which the
Bank grants its prior written consent.  Further, the Guarantor agrees that until
such payment in full: (i) no Guarantor shall accept payment from any other
guarantor by way of contribution on account of any payment made hereunder by
such party to the Bank; (ii) no one of them will take any action to exercise or
enforce any rights to such contribution; and (iii) if any individual or entity
comprising the Guarantor should receive any payment, satisfaction or security
for any indebtedness of the Borrower to any individual or entity comprising the
Guarantor or for any contribution by any other individual or entity comprising
the Guarantor for payment made hereunder by the recipient to the Bank at any
time the Borrower is in default under the Loan Documents, the same shall be
delivered to the Bank in the form received, endorsed or assigned as may be
appropriate for application on account of, or as security for the indebtedness
of the Borrower to the Bank.  This provision shall not restrict or impair
Guarantor's right to receive dividends declared by the Borrower, which comply
with the covenants under the Loan Agreement.  Any lien or charge on the
Collateral (as defined in the Loan Agreement), all rights therein and thereto,
and on the profits, losses, income and distributions to be realized therefrom,
which the Guarantor may have or obtain as security for any loans or advances to
Borrower shall be, and such Lien or charge hereby is, waived.  Guarantor waives
any rights Guarantor has under, or any requirements imposed by Chapter 34 of the
Texas Business & Commerce Code, as in effect on the date of this Guaranty or as
it may be amended from time to time.  Guarantor waives any rights of subrogation
it may have against the Borrower.

     In the event the Borrower is a corporation, joint stock association or
partnership, or is hereafter incorporated, if the indebtedness at any time
hereafter exceeds the amount permitted by law, or the Borrower is not liable
because the act of creating the obligation is ultra vires, or the officers or
persons creating same acted in excess of their authority, and for these reasons
the indebtedness to the Bank which the Guarantor agrees to pay cannot be
enforced against the corporation, joint stock association or partnership, such
fact shall in no manner affect the Guarantor's liability hereunder; but the
Guarantor shall be liable hereunder, notwithstanding any finding that said
corporation, joint stock association or partnership is not liable for such
indebtedness, and to same extend as the Guarantor would have been if the
indebtedness of the Borrower had been enforceable against the Borrower.

     This Guaranty is executed in modification (but not extinguishment) of that
certain Unconditional Guaranty dated effective as of November 8, 1996.

     THIS GUARANTY AND ALL RIGHTS, OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES ARISING HEREUNDER
SHALL BE CONSTRUED ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.

     THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE PERFORMABLE FOR ALL PURPOSES IN DALLAS COUNTY,
