FAQ
Should I choose the loan with the lowest monthly payment?
Not necessarily. A lower monthly payment often means a longer term, which can result in more total interest paid. Compare the total cost (including fees) of each loan to make an informed decision based on your financial goals.
What fees should I include in the comparison?
Include origination fees, application fees, closing costs, and any other one-time charges associated with the loan. These fees add to the total cost and can make a seemingly cheaper loan more expensive overall.
Is a shorter or longer loan term better?
Shorter terms have higher monthly payments but lower total interest. Longer terms have lower monthly payments but cost more overall. Choose based on your budget and how quickly you want to be debt-free.
