Thanks for the replies, this is all very helpful. Hopefully last
question:

My partner and I keep separate finances. Does anyone have a
strategy/tips on how to track the balance of the accounts? I was
thinking about something like this (simplified) example:

2021-02-01 buy the house
    assets:house                                                     1 house
    liabilities:mortgage:principal                               $ -80
    assets:checking                                              $ -10
    equity:partner                                               $ -10

2021-03-01 monthly payments
    liabilities:mortgage:principal                                $ X
    expenses:mortgage:interest                                    $ Y
    assets:checking                                               $ -Z
    equity:partner                                                $ -A

Does that seem like a sane way to track everything? Or would I be better
off by, say, tracking 0.5 of the house and 0.5 of the mortgage/interest?

Thanks again!

>> Negative values in the first two postings would mean money flows into
>> your checking account. Mortgage doesn’t usually work like this.

Right, that was my mistake, sorry!
