What Borrowers Should Look For

It might seem like lenders hold all the power, but the decision making power is in your hands as well. Watch out for predatory lenders who offer “easy” loans with unreasonably high interest rates or unrealistic pay back periods. Pay close attention to fees and interest rates when you go to apply for a loan.

Even though it may seem like a hurdle it’s actually a good sign if a lender is asking you a lot of questions because it means they want to make sure you are making a financially sound decision. As a responsible borrower you should be looking for four pieces of information from your potential lenders:

  • Terms & Conditions: terms include the interest rate, monthly payment requirements, associated penalties, or special repayment provisions.
  • Interest Rate: pay attention to the interest rate and whether it is fixed or variable.
  • Fees: there may be start-up fees, late fees, or other administrative fees.
  • Client Services: make sure your lender is someone you want to work with long-term and that they treat you with respect.
