Is the word borrow to be read with a different inflection or is it preferred to say something like "Quote/Unquote"?As per usual, they just wanted to "borrow" some money.
How to properly narrate words/terms in quotes?

It's a matter of personal preference.
For a quote that short, I'd go with a different intonation. For longer quotes (where it's hard to tell where the quote ends when listening to audio, for example), quote/end quote works well.

It depends on the context. If it were meant sarcastically then I would make it sound different, with more emphasis. Otherwise I might ignore the quote marks.
