Welcome John,

The co-owner of the property can take out a loan on his own. If you don't want to remain as one of the owners of the property, then you can transfer it to the co-owner.

Yeah, John, there are lenders who will make such foolish loans. What some of them don't realize is that they're jeopardizing the lien by not having all owners involved in the transaction. If they try to foreclose at some time, they'll have a miserable time doing so if he's the only borrower.

While going through a divorce I discovered that my husband had taken out a second mortgage on our home without my knowledge or permission. So clearly it's possible. We were living in Virginia but the bank was located in Texas. The only thing the lending bank cares about is whether or not the borrower looks like they can repay.
