A pre-application checklist for Alston

These steps shape the offer you get in Alston, a place of about 177 people:

1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Price the payment first with our personal loan calculator before any lender quotes you.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Confirm the Georgia licence with the regulator named above before committing.
5. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
6. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
7. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
