1. Get all three reports, dispute anything wrong, and keep the corrected file for your applications.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Wisconsin regulator's licence list.
5. Pick the shortest term whose payment you can comfortably afford.
6. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
