Frequently asked questions
Is it reasonable to ask for financing terms in writing?+
Yes. Reputable companies expect it. If a company refuses to put financing terms in writing, that is the answer.
Should I sign at the in-home appointment?+
No. Same-day discount pressure is the most common red flag in this trade. A legitimate price is still there tomorrow.
