We've all been there -- wanting to fund that overseas vacation since forever but can't seem to find the money for it. Here's where a personal loan comes in handy. Taking a personal loan could be a good option since it does not require you to have any collateral (e.g. car, house, etc.) that can be lost in case you default. But precisely because of that, lenders will charge a higher interest rate as a sort of guarantee.

To guide you in applying for a personal loan, here are five basic tips from The Cathford Group Credit Inc.:

Know your credit report. A primary factor in determining if your loan would get approved is your credit score. All lenders would definitely consult your credit report when deciding if you're worthy to borrow, and how much interest rate to charge you if so. It will benefit you to get an idea of your credit standing so you should request for your credit report and make sure it has accurate and complete information. This will prevent all kinds of hassles in the future and will also let you know just how much interest rate you can be eligible for.

Decide how much you need. Your chances of getting approved are higher if you apply for as little amount as possible (based on your income). For instance, if the amount you ask is significantly lower than your current income, your lender might be willing to make considerations even with a low credit score.

Decide how much you can pay. You should decide early on just how much you can afford as monthly payment once the loan goes through. When you've calculated this, ask your lender for a payment plan where you can return the money in as little time as possible using the monthly budget you've determined.

The Cathford Group Credit Inc. warns that you should be aware of repayment penalties that might be included in your deal. Some lenders could have this penalty fee for when a client pays off the loan early so make sure the loan you're getting doesn't have this.

Be honest. When a lender tells you they do not require papers as evidence of your actual income, there's a big tendency for you to overreport. It is not only advisable to be honest in reporting your income, it is imperative. Claiming an income which you cannot support with valid documents is a sure-fire way to get your loan denied and has the potential to land you in jail. Always make sure you provide all the necessary documents, even when you think it won't improve your chances of getting approved.

Don't push your luck. Sometimes, people would apply for a personal loan that they're aware they won't get approved for -- you know, just to try it. Aside from the fact that there's a lot of effort involved betting on this wishful thinking, it can also make things difficult for you when you apply for a loan for real. See, every single time you apply for a loan, it gets included in your credit report. But things won't get bad until an application gets rejected -- your future lender will ask all kinds of questions regarding that and will make them see your credit standing in a bad light.

RealtyTrace has released a new report last week saying that around 7 million US homeowners who lost their houses are now in a good position to buy again.

Short sales and foreclosures have increased exponentially 7 years ago after the so-called Great Recession and the years of financial crisis. Now, with the economy finally getting its momentum and employment rate increasing, homeowners who got foreclosures could have a good chance in the market again.

According to analysts from The Cathford Group Credit Inc., although the modest estimate of rebuilding a decent credit score is 7 years, it is possible for homeowners to recover from their foreclosures in as soon as 3 years. This is good news for owners who lost their properties during the financial crisis of 2007 as they should be able to qualify now for a new loan.

So if you're one of those, here are a few tips to guide you in purchasing a foreclosed house:

- Go online and search for REO (real estate owned by a bank) property listings in your chosen area. The REO tag means that the house has been foreclosed and that it is now put on the market by the lender.

- A foreclosed house come "as is", which means that the buyer will have to shoulder costs for any repairs on the house that might be involved. And there is very little room for negotiation so don't keep your hopes up for any discount.

- Secure a pre-approval letter from your lender even before you start making offers. Oftentimes, buyers would remember to engage a real estate broker first thing, and then forget the all important factor of how to get financing. Keep in mind that banks will almost always require proof of financial capability so this letter is essential -- unless of course you're paying in cash.

The letter should state just how much money you're qualified to borrow depending on your income and credit score, as per the analysis of your lender. This has an added benefit of showing your real estate agent that you're really serious about making a purchase -- an important factor for the agent to choose who to prioritize among his several clients.

- Check recent prices of comparable properties in the area of your choice.

- The Cathford Group Credit Inc. was able to determine a number of markets which are expected to have the most number of prospective buyers. Areas like Las Vegas that are hit the most during the crisis will now have house prices significantly cheaper for average buyers to afford. But because it is expected that the majority of the market consists of the Baby Boomers and Generation X, areas like Minneapolis, Chicago or Florida will top the lists.
