My aunt and cousin think not.. i wanted the property my cousin needed and i didn't have enough money to. Wouldn't it be ok to mortage MY OWN properties to pay for it???
Also, can trades be made during someones bankrupcy? Like if i was 214 in the hole and i made a deal like a property for 300 just to keep me in the game, is that ok?

YES, that is what mortgages are for, but it may put you in the hole and lose. However, the chance to buy is what the game is all about.
You CANNOT mortgage an improved property until you sell back all the houses at half price to the bank
It is illegal to trade, but you can modify those rules at the beginning of the game by mutual agreement to keep it fun

Here are answers from the Officials Rules of Monopoly:
http://richard_wilding.tripod.com/monorules.htm#mortgages
On Mortgaging Property:
"Unimproved properties can be mortgaged through the Bank at any time."
Obviously 'any time' includes right before you buy an unowned property.
On Trading:
"Unimproved properties, railroads and utilities (but not buildings) may be sold to any player as a private transaction for any amount the owner can get."
What people normally mean by trading, can be rephrased as selling property to another player with the payment being in property and/or money and/or Get Out of Jail Free Cards and/or Future considerations or conditions. Like mortagaging, the rules put no restriction on when you may sell properties.
The rule of thumb for Monopoly (for anything not explicity contained in the rules) is that if you can do it in real life, you can do it in the game.

Yes to both. I have a cousin and aunt who like to make up their own rules too. Be careful and good luck!

You can set the rules up how you want, I believe you can only mortgage when you need to pay for something like taxes if you go by the rules.

I believe according to the rules, that trades cannot be made. Once someone is broke, that is it.Property can be mortgaged to purchase another.

Both, YES! There is a rule book! It's just business whether they like it or not.
