In real estate, you will encounter the term character loan. This loan is an unsecured loan made by the lender in good faith that the borrower is going to repay because of his reputation and credit score. It is hard for the lender to recover loaned funds if the borrower is unable to repay the loan in the case of a character loan which is an unsecured loan. On the other hand secured loans, ensure the repayment of funds by securitizing other values that are equivalent to the amount of money involved in the transaction.
Many times you would find the use of the term character in the loan to borrower relationship. The lender needs to recover the money borrowed so he relies on historical records and credit scores as an indicator for good character traits on the borrower’s side. Therefore, good financial decisions and consistently keeping up with payments would generate a good credit score, thus indicating financial discipline, responsibility, and character.
