How can I maximize my savings?
The first and easiest way to maximize savings is to choose the shortest loan term you can afford. A short loan term increases your monthly repayments but reduces how much you pay in the long run, as you’ll be saving on interest. Crunch some numbers and figure out how much you can comfortably afford to pay each month. Try not to go for a loan with a monthly repayment above that number.
Qualifying for a lower interest rate can also help you save on your loan without changing your loan term at all. You can take steps to improve your credit like checking your credit report for mistakes and paying off smaller debts to make sure that your personal credit score is strong.
You should also consider prequalifying with a few lenders to see what types of rates and terms you’re eligible for. You can start your search with the table below.
