Ask questions:

The loan terms, fees, and your relationship with a bank should factor into the decision. Find out what documents you will need before you begin your application. 

Know your credit score:

Request a copy of your credit history and credit score several weeks before you apply. Review your credit history for accuracy and give yourself time to correct any errors.
