What is a cosigner?
A cosigner on a home mortgage is someone who agrees to be financially responsible for the loan if the primary borrower defaults on their payments. Cosigners are also known as non-occupant co-borrowers. See the entry under “Occupancy”.
In addition to our glossary, we have a library of downloadable PDFs that cover occupancy, how to handle gift funds, and other mortgage fundamentals.
