2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Minnesota regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Check that the monthly payment fits your budget next to your existing obligations.
6. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
