What you'll have in writing

The amount

What actually lands in your account, after any fee.

The payback

The total you repay. One number, not a percentage to decode.

The rate

How it's priced, and whether that's a factor rate or interest.

The term

How long, how often you pay, and how much each time.

Every fee

Origination, processing, anything else. Named, before you sign.

Trueballast is a broker, so the lender sets your terms, not us. Our job is to bring you the offers worth reading and to make sure nothing on them is hidden. If a lender won't put a number in writing, that tells you what you need to know about the lender.
