A pre-application checklist for Baird

Before you hand your details to a lender in Baird, where the population is near 1,526:

1. Start with the credit file: order the reports, fix the errors, then apply.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Texas regulator's licence list.
5. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
6. Read the disclosure for an origination fee and any prepayment penalty before signing.
