1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.

4. Look the lender up in the New Jersey regulator's licence records before you sign.
5. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
6. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.
