1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
2. Price the payment first with our personal loan calculator before any lender quotes you.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Verify the lender's Minnesota licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
6. Pick the shortest term whose payment you can comfortably afford.
