    What Is A Loan?

    What are some of the key elements of the boat loan? Here are a few:

    • Interest rate
    • Credit history
    • Loan terms
    • Money down/down payment


    These are certainly not all of the items you should try to understand as you go through the loan process. But this is a good place to start. Along with these basic items, make sure you talk with your banker or other lender and ask plenty of questions. You should clear up any doubts at the beginning. Getting too much information is a good way to avoid misunderstandings later. In this case, there may be no such thing as too much information.


    • A loan is usually defined as the act of lending something for temporary use. Of course, a major condition is that the object or money loaned must be returned. With boat loans, car loans, house loans and so on, there is interest to be figured in.


    • The word interest generally means that someone has a concern or involvement in an activity. This is certainly true for interest on a loan, which is the amount charged for use of money. This is expressed as a percentage of the money borrowed for a definite period (usually a year or a number of years). It is important that, as a borrower, you understand annual percentage rate (APR).


    • Credit history or credit report is, basically, a record of an individual's or company's past borrowing and repaying, including information about late payments and bankruptcy. When a customer fills out an application for credit from a bank, store or credit card company, the information is sent to a credit bureau. This information is used by lenders to determine an individual's means and willingness to repay an debt.


    • Loan terms are the details of how the money will be repaid. This includes the number of years the loan will cover, monthly payments, interest rates, down payment etc.




    • A down payment may be required. This is a percentage of the total loan that you will have to pay up front. Banks and other lenders generally do not loan 100 percent of the value of something when making a loan. Make sure you are clear on how much you will have to pay at the beginning. A down payment can make a huge difference in the terms of the loan (reduce interest costs and number of monthly payments).



    Prequalify

    Some individuals or families may prequalify for a loan. If income and credit history are good, many lenders will agree to loan a certain amount or any amount up to an agreed maximum, based on the financial status of the individual or members of the household. Ask the lender to give you an amount they can loan, based on the information you provide. Tell the banker that you plan to purchase a new boat. At this point, the lender will probably give you a figure such as 80 percent of the value of the boat. The rest is what you will probably have to have on your own.
