Things That You Should Know About Loans
Sometimes in life, you may go through situations where you may need a loan to make your dream come true for your family or business organization. In this situation, it is a great asset to have a high credit score. A high credit score can help you to get a lower interest rate as long as you have proof of the financial ability to repay the loan.
A loan can be defined as something borrowed and expected to be paid back with some interest and maybe some extra charges in the future. Not everyone can be approved for each type of loan available to the public.

1- Co-sign Loan
A co-signer agrees to pay the debt of the borrower for which they cosign for if they default on the loan.
Reasons people may co-sign:
- It helps the other person (applicant) build their credit. (Ex. Your child may just be starting in life. If you feel they are responsible and will make the payments, you may consider the option of co-signing.)
- It helps an applicant secure financing. (Ex. The applicant may have poor credit. Be careful and try to find out if the applicant has changed their way of honoring their obligation to pay. If not, it can hurt your credit.)
2- Caveat loans
Caveat Loans are taken out for a very short period. For instance, 1-12 months, and they are usually settled quickly.They can be beneficial in helping with cash flow problems, Paying off tax debt, Covering up unexpected cash financial loss, upcoming business opportunities, and more.

3- Fixed-Rate Loans
With a fixed-rate loan, the interest rate does not change over time. It remains the same.
The benefit of a Fixed-rate Loan
The benefit of a fixed-rate loan is that you always know what your payment will be. Interest rates may increase as the economy grows, but with a fixed-rate loan, the interest rate on your purchase is protected from rising to higher interest rates. If you already know what to expect your loan payment to be, it helps you budget those future payments. Imagine buying a house. What type of loan would you want?The downfall of a fixed rate Loan
The downfall of a fixed-rate loan is that it may begin with a more expensive rate. Although if the interest percentage is moderate at the time, you can be locked into a good price. Therefore, you have to decide if you wish to use a fixed rate where you can budget your bills without worrying about the payment jumping to an amount that you can't afford, or use a variable rate that may start at one credit rate and then changes to a higher rate.Amortization Calculator

4- Variable- Interest Loans
Variable-interest loans have interest rates that change over time. If your interest rate changes, that will make the price of your purchase rise, potentially causing you to spend more in interest without any added benefits from the purchase. The value of the item you purchased will not go up, but the price you pay will.
