Borrowing Insights

Evaluating Key Loan Variables

A lower interest rate does not always mean a cheaper loan. Review these critical factors before signing your commitment letter.

APR vs Stated Rate

Amortization Velocity

Prepayment Freedom

The stated nominal rate excludes lender points and origination charges. Always compare the full APR to uncover total capital costs.

Extending loan terms lowers monthly cash drain but dramatically increases cumulative interest. Compare schedules across identical horizons.

Verify whether agreements include prepayment penalties. Unrestricted extra principal payments yield substantial compounding savings over time.
