Knowledge is Power
Today’s
edition of Priority
Pulse may
seem a bit elementary, but a refresher might be a good thing –
especially if you either overindulged watching Sunday’s Super Bowl or the
result didn’t go your way. Below, I’ve
included a Loan Application Checklist. Can
you correctly explain why each item is required? You need a “C” or higher to pass –
if you don’t, we can give you some tutoring.
