Sorry for the duplicate entry, but wanted to ask this in terms of medieval history. What do you think?
Eine umfassende Aufarbeitung sowohl des Handels mit Liegenschaften und als auch deren Belastung mit Krediten fehlt.
Die geplante Studie wird deshalb anhand der Auswertung der ersten Kauf- und Satzbücher aus der zweiten Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts den möglichen Motiven für Immobilienerwerb und Kreditbelastungen in Wien umfassend nachgehen.

gage (of land)
Gage (finance)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In medieval finance, a gage or gage of land was a usufructory pledge of real property. The gage came in two forms:
the dead gage (Scots deid wad, French mort-gage, German Zinssatzung); or
the living gage (Welsh prid, Fr vif-gage, G Totsatzung).
When a feudal tenant or landlord needed liquid resources, they could pledge their estate in land, as collateral, for a money loan. Since the gaged collateral was typically a piece of real property which generated revenue (e.g. a farm which produced crops, a mill which processed food, a pasture that provided milk or wool, etc.), the lender-gagee received the rents and profits of the land. Under the terms of a living gage, these rents and profits reduced the amount the borrower-gagor owed, while under a dead gage they did not. This meant that if the property was prosperous enough, or the loan small enough, a property in living gage could pay off the debt itself; in other words, it was self-redeeming. On the other hand, with a dead gage, the property's rents and profits did not go toward satisfying the principal, but instead constituted interest on the loan, which made it a form of usury. As a result, dead gages were denounced as immoral/illegal among Catholic theologians.

mortgaging (of property/real estate)
See, for example,
http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/rd/e1210eeb...
"Deeds of settlement (including mortgaging of property) supply important information about the extent of the estates and the financial position of the family."
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/survey-london/vols31-2/pt2/...
" As is mentioned elsewhere, the mortgaging of property in Ireland, and of the ground behind Burlington House itself which began to be developed residentially in 1718, would have brought some immediate increase in Burlington's capital resources."

and you haven't said what you think of the previous suggestions. But my guess would be "mortgaging".
