1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Michigan regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
6. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
7. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.

None of these steps is Tustin-specific: the same Michigan licensing and disclosure rules reach all 257 residents.
