Before talking to a lender, it is important to understand how loans work. Otherwise, you may find the conversation confusing. And it's no wonder. Loans are complicated. They use tons of jargon, have weird mathematical formulas and come with too many options.
    While it may seem like a burden to learn about loans - after all you have much better things to do with your time - it is necessary. And we think you might be much more enthusiastic when you hear that you can save thousands of dollars by simply knowing the loan basics.
    Our free Loan Basics Guide teaches you all of the loan lingo. You will learn how interest rates and term lengths affect your monthly payment and discover why your credit score is so important. While our guide won't turn you into a loan expert - it's not that long - it will make you a smart shopper.
