A pre-application checklist for Carleton

Before you apply in Carleton, a community of about 2,337, work through these steps:

1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Verify the lender's Michigan licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
6. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
7. Pick the shortest term whose payment you can comfortably afford.
