Best answer by Rustler

The property is an asset, a fixed asset. It is made up of land and improvements (building, etc) so there needs to be two fixed asset accounts in the chart of accounts. You split the total value between the land and building accounts. Land is not depreciable, so there should be an accumulated depreciation account as a sub account of the building.

 

A mortgage is a loan, in the chart of accounts that means a liability account. Part of the mortgage payment is a payment to principal and interest. The interest portion should post to an interest expense account

 

A mortgage payment could be what is called a PITI payment.

Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance

In this case taxes and insurance are liabilities that get cleared when the mortgage company who gets the payment, pays the tax and insurance bill for you.

 

Open the chart of accounts and create the needed accounts of each type, then do your posting for the mortgage and down payment if any.

    I might add that if @cadydidalot cannot add to or edit tge COA then they are using the wrong product. Especially for an s-corp which requires payroll for at least one shareholder (unless running a loss, if you have nooney to distribute then you cannot obviously pay W2 wages let alone non tax disyributions)
