How borrowing works locally

A lender is free to set its own price below the legal ceiling, and it does so according to the risk it reads in the file.

A shorter term raises each payment and lowers the total interest, which is the trade every schedule makes. A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent.
