3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Check the Minnesota regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
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.
