Options for Small 500 - 5000 Loans
Interestingly enough there are very few options that are different for getting a 5000 dollar loan and for getting a 500 dollar loan - depending of course on what the loan is for.
If the $5000 is for something, such as a car, a home improvement etc. Then it is possible to get a loan from a bank or from the seller of the merchandise that you are purchasing. However, if the loan is necessary because you need cash for rent, a bill etc then the options are similar to what they would be for any small, short term loan.
The first option is to borrow money from a friend or relative, it at all possible - and only if it will not damage your relationship with that person. This is by far the cheapest option - depending of course on the terms you agree on. This option - if not overused and always repaid. It is the best way to get fast cash and one that won't ever hurt your credit.
The second option is a payday loan. This option can be a good one as long as you are smart with your money and use the loan only for essential items. Too many people get into trouble with these loans, which is a shame since they are one of the only legit ways for poor credit borrowers to access capital. In addition, because so many people get into trouble with the loans (i.e. they don't pay them back on time) the lenders have to charge extremely high fees to make up for any lost loans they make that are not repaid. However, even with the high costs these loans can be viable if you truly need the money and you need it now. You can literally walk out of the lenders store with cash in hand within minutes, and you can use the case for anything you want.
