Before you hand your details to a lender in Jacksonville, where the population is near 106:

1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Look the lender up in the Georgia regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
6. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
7. Pick the shortest term whose payment you can comfortably afford.
