Think Spring!

It’s a fact: once the snow melts, our to-do list starts to grow. What are your needs this spring? Consider your must-do items first, then prioritize. Include what you hope to accomplish, too — consider your home, vehicle, and personal finances.
Springtime lending checklist:
Your home:
Assess all would-be projects. Take a walk around your home and see what is going on structurally — both inside and out. For example, is your roof showing the effects of winter? How about your siding, windows, and eves? Take a look at your garage and driveway, too.
Also, consider your electrical and plumbing needs, as well as your furnace and air conditioning. It’s an ideal time to see if everything is functioning properly.
Regular maintenance and upkeep help ensure your home’s value stays strong. Because once the maintenance starts to slide, so does your home’s worth. Fundamental (must-have or structural) needs should always come first.
Your vehicle:
Did cold weather take its toll? Salt, poor roads, and harsh conditions all contribute to added wear-and-tear on your car. You may need financing for needed repairs — or you might just decide on a new vehicle. No matter your needs, turn to us, whether it’s for a car, personal or home equity loan, or low-cost credit card.
Living in Michigan, reliable transportation is non-negotiable. And spring is an ideal time to drive home a new car.
Your debt situation:
Look at your outstanding loans and credit lines, including credit cards, PayPal, and others — all can become unmanageable. Do you have payments to consolidate? Unexpected bills (medical, home, or car repairs) are another fact of life. And debt can be sneaky, accumulating over time.
For good financial health, it pays to periodically review the rates you’re currently paying on your loans, including your car, home, and credit cards.
If you need to refinance, solutions can be found via a home equity or personal loan, car loan, or credit card balance transfer. All have their strengths, but the key is to lower your rate and monthly payments. And if you consolidate debt, it’s always easier to manage one payment!
