A pre-application checklist for Dexter

A sensible order of operations for a loan in Dexter, home to about 4,509 people:

1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Michigan regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. When debt already feels heavy, a nonprofit credit counsellor is worth a call first.
6. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
7. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
