A practical checklist for Emeryville borrowers

A sensible order of operations for a loan in Emeryville, home to about 12,732 people:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Shop at least three lenders and judge them on APR and total cost.
4. Confirm the California licence with the regulator named above before committing.
5. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
6. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
7. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
