2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Look the lender up in the Texas regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Pick the shortest term whose payment you can comfortably afford.
6. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
7. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
