What it costs and what it raises

Mortgaging is the game's borrowing valve: it raises ⬡ 100 immediately, the deed stops earning while it is mortgaged, and buying it back later costs ⬡ 110. A player who is one payment short of bankruptcy can mortgage rather than lose the game, which is why it exists.

Transit rent scales with how many you hold

Transit rent depends only on how many of the 4 the owner holds, never on which. Rent doubles at each step, from ⬡ 25 for one to ⬡ 200 for all 4, so the last one is worth far more than its price suggests.

Transit deeds take no buildings, which makes them the low-maintenance part of a position: they never need building money, and they keep earning while your cash goes into houses elsewhere. A mortgaged transit deed stops counting toward the owner's total, so mortgaging one quietly cuts the rent on the others.
