Superior Loan Advice

Is your income difficult or nearly impossible to verify? Have late payments from the past or low credit scores kept you from becoming a homeowner?

Did you know that most states offer down-payment assistance and home buying grants for people with low income? Smart Lending believes it shouldn’t be that difficult to get money for a personal loan or to buy a house that you can afford in a neighborhood that makes you happy.

Smart Lending believes that refinancing higher rate loans and credit lines into reduced rate loans should be a quick and simple process. That’s exactly why we have spent well over two decades finding great lenders and bankers that have a similar philosophy that we do. Do not let your lack of knowledge keep you from attaining an affordable loan that meets your needs.

To maximize your home financing experience, Smart Lending has partnered with lending companies that believe in efficiency and a high level of customer service. Please note that interest rates on personal loans, credit lines and first-time homeowner loans are subject to bank, credit union or lender approval and documentation for income, residence and credit may be required.

FAQ’s for Personal Loans

Before applying for a personal loan, it is important that you understand the benefits, risks, costs, and terms before you commit to a loan. FAQ’s for Personal Loans

What is needed to apply for a personal loan?

Applying for an unsecured loan online takes only a few minutes to complete and does not require any personal info. Typically, loan applications simply require details such as name, address, and contact information, plus some basic questions concerning your income and credit info.

Loan Terms: How long are the repayment periods of the loan?

The term or length of your loan is based on a combination of factors. Repayment terms go from 61 days to 15 years. One of the benefits of these types of loans is they enable you to compare loan terms. You can choose a term or repayment period that meets your needs and financing goals.

What is APR*?

APR is an acronym for annual percentage rate. It refers to the annual interest rate that the lender charges on a personal unsecured loan. The actual APR numbers vary but will always cap at 35.99%. In most cases, Internet lending companies provide an APR somewhere between 5% and 30%. The annual percentage rate of your loan will depend on several factors such as credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and financial track record. *APR rates mentioned do include fees associated with the loan.

Representative Example

For a loan of $20,000 over 36 months at a fixed rate of 10.74% per annum and fees of $60.00. This would result in a representative rate of 10.74% APR, with monthly repayments of $652.37, for a total amount paid of $23,485.32. This example is an estimate only and assumes all payments are made on time. Rates are subject to change without notice and are controlled by our third-party advertisers.
