3. Collect three or more offers and compare them on APR, not on the advertised rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Indiana regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
6. Pick the shortest term whose payment you can comfortably afford.
7. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.

The process is identical across Indiana; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Michiana Shores holds 301 people.
