Question: 1 / 740

The offer of pledging real property to secure a loan is known as what?

Mortgaging

Lien

Hypothecation

Mortgaging refers specifically to obtaining a loan for the purpose of purchasing real property, whereas hypothecation applies to using real property as collateral for any type of loan or debt. Lien refers to a legal claim on a property used to secure payment of a debt or obligation, but does not necessarily involve a loan. Collateralization can refer to using any type of asset, not just real property, as security for a loan. Therefore, the offer of pledging real property to secure a loan is best known as hypothecation.
