It may lease any portion of such building which is not occupied by or needed for its immediate use. It may, by a two-thirds favorable vote of its board, sell and convey its real estate. It may borrow money and execute and sell, or otherwise dispose of, its bonds or obligations, secured by a mortgage of its property or otherwise. The president and the secretary of the association shall sign all such obligations and conveyances.
