A pre-application checklist for Mapleton

Before you apply in Mapleton, a community of about 1,124, 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. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Confirm the Iowa licence with the regulator named above before committing.
5. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
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.
