3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Pennsylvania regulator's licence list.
5. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
6. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
