There are already many innovative mortgage approaches being taken.

Quick steps:

  1. You apply for a mortgage.
  2. The lender issues you money to buy property plus additional money to buy bitcoin
  3. The bitcoin is jointly held by you and lender...and must remain untouched for 4 years minimum
  4. At the end of 4 year period, you have option of "cashing in" the bitcoin and using proceeds to paydown mortgage.

So in theory, it could work like this:

  • you could find a house selling for $500K and the lender provides you the $500K in cash and provides an additional $100K to buy 1BTC
  • the 1BTC is jointly held by both parties for 4 years
  • In the meantime you pay mortgage note as you normally would
  • At 4 year point, BTC is now trading at $450K and you elect to cash-in the bitcoin and the house is yours free and clear

Yes I remember this now
