Should I borrow money?
The first question to ask when considering whether to borrow is: “Can I do what I need to do without additional debt?”
If the answer is “no”, then DOC2DOC can help you get to where you need to be.
Applying for pre-approval through DOC2DOC will not impact your credit and will provide you with a preliminary interest rate. After receiving your pre-approval, you should have the information necessary to know if a DOC2DOC loan is right for you.
