There are no benefits for a co-signer. If the loan is for the purchase of property such as a car, the co-signer may end up paying for property they don't own. Your role as a co-signer involves your own risk. By co-signing you agree to be equally responsible for paying the full balance of the loan if the primary borrower fails to make their payments. If they are late making a payment, it will be reported under your own credit record.
Also, co-signing a loan will create a liability against the co-signer. If they need a loan, it may not be approved due to the outstanding co-signed loan or there may be a higher interest rate due to the increased possibility of a loan default if the co-signer needs to start making payments on the co-signed loan.
