The Burnt Prairie borrowing checklist

For Burnt Prairie's roughly 34 residents, these are the steps that most influence the offer:

3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Check the Illinois regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
