What a St. Helena borrower is actually offered

In St. Helena, a small community of about 89, the amount is advanced up front and repaid in fixed installments; the city's size does not change the pricing.

Shortening the term on a St. Helena loan raises the monthly payment but cuts the interest; lengthening it does the reverse.
