If you are offering your property to be mortgaged as security of loan being taken by your friend or his firm by becoming a guarantor, you will not get any amount of loan in your bank account, the entire amount will be credited in bank account of your friend or his firm. Your liability to repay the loan will be at par with debtor.

In case of default in repayment of loan, your property, which has been mortgaged as security for loan will be auctioned and if the sale proceeds of the auctioned property is less than the outstanding loan amount, remaining amount can be recovered from your other properties, if you had given personal guarantee also.

So take a decision to help your friend considering all the aspects.
