3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Minnesota regulator's licence list.
5. Pick the shortest term whose payment you can comfortably afford.
6. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
7. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.

The anatomy of a Motley personal loan

Motley is a small community of about 688 people, and the personal loans written here are mostly unsecured — no collateral, so the lender leans on your credit file. Two numbers drive a Motley loan: the APR, which includes fees, and the term, which decides how long you keep paying. Shortening the term on a Motley loan raises the monthly payment but cuts the interest; lengthening it does the reverse.
