Hi,

I was looking for a way to denote a mortgage (which would obviously be
a liablility), but then make payments which get automatically split
into principal and interest (potentially in separate accounts).  It
would be nice if there were a special way to handle mortgages (or
other types of loans).  For example, I'd like to know what the current
principal balance is on a loan.

If you create a "loan" type account, you should start with the initial
principal, interest rate, term, and maybe payment and interest
compounding schedule, and when interest is "credited" (debited?) to
(from?) the account.

Comments?
