A pre-application checklist for Hawkeye

Before you apply in Hawkeye, a community of about 429, work through these steps:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Check the Iowa regulator's records to confirm the lender is licensed here.
5. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
6. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
7. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.

What differs between Hawkeye and the rest of Iowa is not the process but the borrower's own file, among the 429 people here.
