A practical checklist for Alexander borrowers

For Alexander's roughly 163 residents, these are the steps that most influence the offer:

1. Get your credit reports, dispute what is wrong, and only then start shopping.

3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Iowa regulator's licence list.
5. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
6. Pick the shortest term whose payment you can comfortably afford.
7. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
