3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the North Dakota regulator's licence list.
5. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
6. Be clear on what the loan is for and how it gets repaid.
