A pre-application checklist for Millbrae

Before you apply in Millbrae, a community of about 22,087, work through these steps:

1. Get your credit reports, dispute what is wrong, and only then start shopping.
2. Model the payment on the calculator before a lender models it for you.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Confirm the lender holds a California licence by checking the regulator named above.
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. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
