2. Price the payment first with our personal loan calculator before any lender quotes you.
3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Verify the lender's Washington licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
6. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
