Selling your beautiful home, which sits beside a not so beautiful home, can be… challenging.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: curb appeal is everything.

Having a co-signer reduces the lender's risk as there is now more than one person responsible for ensuring repayment of the loan. With a co-signer, the loan has a backup, someone who will pay if the primary borrower doesn't. Lenders like co-signers and are more likely to lend with them.
