What rights does a co borrower have on a house?
A co-borrower is on the loan just as much as the borrower. In the case of a mortgage loan, each has equal responsibility in paying back the loan. Plus, the co-borrower has equal ownership in the home. A cosigner is responsible for the debt along with the borrower, yet does not have ownership in the property.
Can I buy a house if I cosigned for someone else?

Does it matter who is borrower and co-borrower?
