      Tell me about taking out a loan

      I'm 18 years old and I have no credit. How do I go about taking out a loan?

      Your parents (or anyone else who has good credit, really) will have to co-sign for you. Basically that means that if you are unable to come through on the payments, it goes to them. Everybody wins; except maybe the co-signer.

      I'd figure I'd need a cosigner... is there any other way?
      What would the interest rate be like for a 1000-2000 loan that would be paid off by the time summer is over? The thing is, I will just need the money soon and won't really be able to start making a lot until summer.

      Not that I'm aware of for someone in your position.

      I'm afraid I can't answer the question about the interest rate - you'll probably have to talk to a bank for that info.

      Also, how soon are we talking? Loans can take a little while to go through. You may want to start the process now.

      DuB is correct. However, - to start working on your credist score in the mean time, get a credit card and start working on your credit score asap.
      Things are not as they seem

      I'll tell you that taking out a loan isn't the smartest idea unless you can make the payments 100%!!


      Starry starry night, paint your pallet blue and gray,
      Look out on a summers day,
      with eyes that know the darkness of my soul.
