Steps to take before a Brookside loan

For Brookside's roughly 243 residents, these are the steps that most influence the offer:

1. Get your credit reports, dispute what is wrong, and only then start shopping.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Colorado regulator's licence list.
5. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
6. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
7. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
