1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.

3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Verify the lender's Tennessee licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Check the disclosure for fees that raise the true cost above the quoted rate.
6. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
