Buy or mortgage

Susan has bought house with borrowed money from a bank.

Can she simply tell people:

1) I have bought a house.

Or is it more proper to say:

2) I have mortgaged a house.

" Yes, she needn't ordinarily divulge the details about the house being mortgaged. " No. That would mean that she has mortgaged a house which she already owns.
