Frequently Asked Questions

What affects my loan payment amount?

Your monthly payment is determined by the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. Higher amounts and rates increase payments, while longer terms decrease them.

Should I choose a shorter or longer loan term?

Shorter terms mean higher monthly payments but less total interest paid. Longer terms have lower payments but cost more over time.

How can I get a better interest rate?

Improve your credit score, provide a larger down payment, shop around with multiple lenders, and consider a co-signer if needed.
