3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Mississippi regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
6. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
