What to do before borrowing in Macedonia

Before you apply in Macedonia, a community of about 263, work through these steps:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Verify the lender's Iowa licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
6. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
7. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.

The process is identical across Iowa; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Macedonia holds 263 people.
