Has any reporter ever checked to see if Michael Cohen put a mortgage on his home in 2016?
The existence of a mortgage wouldn't prove anything, but if there were no mortgage, that would be important to know.
Mortgages are public information. All the reporter would need to know is Cohen's address.
All I could do was search by his name in Manhattan, and nothing came up. But maybe he has his real estate in an LLC, so I'd need the address of whatever property he supposedly took the mortgage on.

Cohen may be new to presidential politics, but he's not a total novice. In 2003 he briefly became a Republican to run for a New York City Council seat at the request of then-Gov. George Pataki. He lost that race to Democrat Eva Moskovitz by a wide margin. In 2009, he started a short-lived campaign for a New York State Senate seat, but dropped out of the race after a just a few weeks.
By all indications, he and Rahr have more than enough personal wealth to finance the independent effort urging Trump to run. Cohen owns several residences in Trump buildings, including a home at Trump World Tower at United Nations Plaza, and Trump Park Avenue, just blocks from Central Park. His parents and in-laws have also invested in Trump properties in New York and Florida.
