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.

4. Verify the lender's Iowa licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
6. Pick the shortest term whose payment you can comfortably afford.
7. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
