To
set up your mortgage in Propertyware you will need to make sure the following
accounts exist on the Chart of Accounts:
Mortgage
Principal (Liability)
Mortgage
Interest (Expense)
Mortgage
Taxes (Expense)
Mortgage
Insurance (Expense)
The
mortgage payments can be entered into Propertyware as an Auto Bill that will be
created as a bill each month, or manually entered as a bill. You should create a separate split for each
item, principal, interest, taxes and insurance.
On
the first row of the bill split, select the Mortgage Interest account and type
in the amount of interest you paid. Add
another bill split for the Mortgage Principal, which should be a Liability
account. Finally, add the additional bill splits for the appropriate taxes and
insurance.
*Note
to QuickBooks users. If you are syncing
wtih QuickBooks, you may change the account type for mortgage principal to
"Liability" or "Long-Term Liability" in QuickBooks.
(Accounts may have a different type between Propertyware and QuickBooks).
