Guarantors and Co-Signors: Fortifying Strategic Bridges
When FRFIs rely on a guarantor or co-signor for mortgage support, they must conduct a sufficiently rigorous credit assessment of the guarantor/co-signor.
The assessment's rigor should align with the degree of reliance on the guarantor/co-signor's support. The guarantor/co-signor must fully comprehend their legal obligations. Strategically leveraging guarantors or co-signors strengthens the mortgage application.
