Mortgage entry

Our church got a loan to redo some of our siding. I made the following journal entry.

DB 01-1110 checking 30,000
CR 01-2611 Siding Loan 30,000

Do I set up an expense for the interest and debit 01-2611 when I make a payment?

I don't have our property set up as an asset.

I tried looking at the knowledge base and searching the forums but nothing seemed to apply exactly.

Never mind. I reread a post my JohnDMeyers on Jan 07, 2009 and my question was answered. I hope!

I have to CR checking and DB both Siding Loan and Interest Expense.

Typing this out helped me to think.

Yep ... I regularly refer to that post when asked about mortgages.
