<prompt> Human: My father comes into my room a week or so ago and states that a property up the street from us is for sale. The property contains: a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, full basement house square footage Im not sure of, 3 acres of land, and a mobile home. He tells me that he would be unable to get a loan because of his problems with the IRS, to which he says that he wants me to sign for the loan. Mind you, this loan will be roughly 160 thousand dollars. He states that my credit will go up from the loan, and that I have nothing to worry about involving paying back the loan because The rent money from the house and mobile home will pay for itself. Now let me mind you, my dad is someone that doesnt take no for an answer, and if I even try to debate with him about anything he instantly starts belittling me and raising his voice. Hes a pretty scary guy. Im worried about the off chances of him passing away within the next couple of years and me having to take care of the loan and property on my own. I dont know what to do and any advice with this situation would be a blessing.  <response>: No.You do not need to provide any reason. A stiff glare into his eyes conveying the sheer audacity of his request. Do not argue. Any rationale you pose will be something he can try to argue.If you are afraid for your safety and feel coerced this is a police matter not a personal finance question.
