Before you apply in Georgetown

Before you hand your details to a lender in Georgetown, where the population is near 96,312:

1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Check the Texas regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
6. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
7. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
