Did you know that there is such a thing as tenant loans? This is when you put up the place you are renting as collateral. While this may seem silly or just plain ridiculous to some, there is a catch - with the insanely high risk that lenders face, you also may have to shoulder a bigger responsibility when it comes to paying off these loans.   Also, tenant loans are strict affairs - they do not generally involve tedious and long processes - but the standards are pretty stringent and not just anybody can get a tenant loan.   There are many advantages to a tenant loan, which allows you to make large purchases that you cannot do through normal means. And as mentioned, you do not need to go through a long process to get one. However, you also need to be prepared for the things taking such a loan entails. The details of tenant loans differ based on the who's offering them, so you may also want to go around and canvass and learn more about the tenant loans you can get before committing to anything.   In the end, it really depends on you if getting such a loan is for you. There are a lot of advantages, yes, but there are also responsibilities and obligations that go with it.
