Yes, it is not unusual for a borrower or debtor to provide the creditor with a mortgage lien on real property to secure the debt.  If you already had a mortgage, this lien would be a second or junior mortgage.  The process may differ from state to state, however, and I don't know the procedure in Colorado.
