Study Notes
Types of Loans and Key Considerations
- Personal loans are often unsecured and easier to obtain with an average credit history, typically for small amounts not exceeding $5,000, but with higher interest rates than secured loans.
- Cash advances are easy to get but come with extremely high interest rates, usually for small amounts, and should only be considered when no alternative ways to get money exist.
- Student loans, such as Stafford and Perkins loans, are common and offer reasonable interest rates, but can lead to substantial debt for recent graduates.
- Mortgage loans are typically the biggest loans, secured by the purchased property, and enable individuals to buy homes with structured terms and tax-deductible, fairly low interest rates.
- Home-equity loans and lines of credit allow homeowners to borrow against their house equity for home additions, improvements, or debt consolidation, with tax-deductible, fairly low interest rates.
- Small business loans are available from local banks and require more work, often needing a business plan and personal assets as collateral in case the business fails.
