Re: cosinging a loan

It means that you become jointly liable to pay the loan. If it goes into default, the holder can collect from you. In most cases, this would not result in your losing your house, but in some cases it could eventually happen. Generally, this can be avoided with a bankruptcy filing, even if the loan would not be dischargeable.
