A pre-application checklist for Summit

For Summit's roughly 449 residents, these are the steps that most influence the offer:

1. Pull your credit reports first and correct any error before a lender sees the file.
2. Use the loan calculator to test the payment on your intended amount and term.
3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Verify the lender's South Carolina licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Check that the monthly payment fits your budget next to your existing obligations.
6. Choose a term you can live with; stretching it lowers the payment but raises total interest.
7. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
