1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
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.
