What to do before borrowing in Knightstown

Before you apply in Knightstown, a community of about 2,150, work through these steps:

1. Get all three reports, dispute anything wrong, and keep the corrected file for your applications.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Get several pre-qualifications and compare APR side by side before choosing.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Indiana regulator's licence list.
5. Read the disclosure for an origination fee and any prepayment penalty before signing.
6. Check that the monthly payment fits your budget next to your existing obligations.
7. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
