A friend of mine works in an unlawful profession (selling alcoholic beverages, etc.), and to ease my financial situation, I found no one to lend me $4,000 except him. Is it permissible for me to borrow from him, knowing that I will repay in comfortable installments?

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect them):
As long as you do not know that the money he gives you is from unlawful sources that he does not approve of you using, it is permissible for you to borrow from him.
May you be successful in all good.
