Before you apply in Forsyth, a community of about 1,616, work through these steps:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.

3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Confirm the Montana licence with the regulator named above before committing.
5. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
6. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
7. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
