Many people are discussing the advantages of a flexible loan but still have questions about this alternative financing option. At Tennessee Title Loans, Inc., we want our potential borrowers to understand flex—or line of credit—loans before deciding if it’s the right option.

With that in mind, keep reading to discover five things you should know about getting a flexible loan in Tennessee.

What Should I Know About Flexible Loans In Tennessee?

1. It's A Line Of Credit Loan

A flexible loan is also called a line of credit loan. It's a hybrid loan option falling between a traditional title loan and a personal line of credit. The primary advantage of a flex loan is that you don't have to use all the borrowed money at once. 

Under a flex loan, you are approved up to a specific limit and can take out money for emergency needs up to that limit. The account stays open, and the money becomes available as you repay the borrowed amount. 

2. It Can Help With Unexpected Expenses

It's an option for people who may have periods where they need quick cash to remedy problems like home or car repairs where they don't know the exact cost. It gives you access to money quickly without requiring a new loan approval process every time. 

3. You Only Pay Interest On What You Borrow

The way interest works with this kind of loan here is that you only pay interest on the amount you pull to borrow instead of the total amount approved. There are periods for keeping the loan open and paying it off, which can be explained to you. 

4. Your Vehicle Title Guarantees It

A flex loan is secured by your lien-free vehicle title, just like a conventional title loan. The application process is also similar to that of a title loan. Using your lien-free title as collateral allows for easier approval for most people.

As with a title loan, there needs to be a credit check to get approved for a flexible loan, and your loan or application needs to be reported to the major credit bureaus.

5. It Can Be Used For Several Types Of Emergencies

A flexible loan can be used to pay for the same types of emergencies that a title loan is used to pay for. You can use an adjustable loan to pay for emergencies at different times as long as you maintain payments. A title loan usually pays for one big trouble.

With a flexible loan, you can use it for a minor home repair, to get a battery for the car, and for dental work. The other big difference is that you only pay the interest on what you use instead of the whole amount as you would with a title loan. That can save you money over time.

With a flexible loan, there could be a time when you don't need loan money at all and are paying it down and times when you have a home repair where you need to access it. The money you've paid down is there for use.
