Steps to take before a Tennessee loan

A sensible order of operations for a loan in Tennessee, home to about 98 people:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Illinois regulator's licence list.
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. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
