3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Confirm the New York licence with the regulator named above before committing.
5. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
6. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
