Co-signing is never a good idea, you are totally liable if they do not pay. If the property is repossessed the repossession will go on your credit records and you will be sued for any deficency in the loan. This means you will pay everything that the other party did not pay.

Very simply - a co-signer of a loan is responsible for absolutely everything as the "other" signer) who may be called primary signer). No difference.

EXCEPT that the cosigner frequently does NOT have possession or legal control of any property involved in the loan, so using it (say selling it) to pay for the loan can be much more difficult, if not impossible.

So whatever the responsibility, or recourse, (legal or financial) is for whatever action or lack of action required under the loan (and frequently under law too as many times you are considered the owner of any property connected with the loan), you are subject to also.
