Setting up a lifetime mortgage
How do I set up a lifetime mortgage account? I am borrowing an amount against my property & dont have to pay off the interest if I dont want to. However I want the option either way. The interest accrues daily, and is compounded annually. If I create a loan account, i have to allocate the interest to a category which create a contra amount. Please advise.

The Loan account type in Moneydance is geared towards the usual P & I type of loans.
I cannot envisages a way of having an automated loan that would meet your needs. I think you would have to use a liability account and post transactions.

I use a liability account and automatic transaction reminders (exactly as dwg says).

Thank you for your advice, both. However, I may seem dumb but when I post the interest(which is accruing & unpaid), what account do i set it against so as to avoid a contra?

The interest will increase the debt, you could create an accrued interest category and assign this as the category for the transaction.

Thanks dwg, sounds like an answer!
