Exactly but somebody is not comprehending well...

With a loan, the bank or other creditor takes title of the debtor's property,

You can't sell the home until paying the loan.

A mortgage impacts your score/credit history.

A bond is a debt against the property. But you can sell the property without paying the bond, because it is against the property and carrys over with the sale.

A bond has no impact on your credit history.
