How to Find Good Deals on Loans
By John Mussi

 

 

Loans come in a wide variety of forms, and it isn't always easy to determine which of the lending options that are available to you is the best deal for your money.

Interest rates, repayment terms, and collateral requirements are all major factors to be considered when determining which loans offer you the best deal... after all, it's no deal if you're having to pay exceptionally high interest rates or the expected monthly payments are more than you can afford.

By taking these factors into consideration when shopping for and comparing loans, you'll find that it's much easier to find the best deals among those offers that you're considering.

Interest rates

Interest is the additional amount that you pay on loans to pay for the lender's services, and your interest rate is the percentage of the total borrowed amount that you will pay as interest.

Ideally you'll want to take the loans that offer the lowest interest rates, since a lower interest rate means that you'll have to repay a lesser amount, though there are cases where loans with higher interest rates end up being better deals because you are offered better repayment terms.

Low interest rates are a major advantage, however, and you should take care not to dismiss them lightly.

Repayment terms

Another major consideration when looking for the best deals in loans are the repayment terms offered by the lender.

The repayment terms are the instructions that you are given concerning the way in which you must pay back the loans... they can include payment options such as using automatic withdrawal from a bank account or having to make payments using payment stubs, as well as the amount of the required monthly payment and the amount of time that you have to complete repayment.

With the right repayment terms, even those offers that have higher interest rates can be a great deal.

Collateral requirements

The best deals in loans can come with a variety of collateral requirements... while some may be unsecured and require no collateral whatsoever, many of the better deals are secured and feature high-value collateral to guarantee repayment.

Having high-value collateral that is easy to find a market for generally works best, explaining why common high-value items such as automobiles, real estate, and home equity are used repeatedly as collateral for a wide variety of lending needs.

Having collateral with a value that is higher than the amount that you wish to borrow can also have positive effects in lowering interest rates and securing better repayment terms, even for individuals who have had credit problems in the past.
