Why create a mortgage:
Included in the software is a mortgage module that allows for automatic calculation of your outstanding mortgage and allocates the principle and interest based on your accounting preferences either cash flow (mortgage+principle) or income (interest only).

How to manage your Mortgage:
“Mortgage” View:
- VIEW icon to view the details of the mortgage
- TRASH icon will not delete the mortgage but make it inactive
“Mortgage Payments” View:
- EDIT
icon to edit the payments interest rate or pre-payment entry - TRASH icon will not delete the mortgage but make it inactive
Note: To reactivate the mortgage you will need to recreate a new mortgage.
Examples of why you would edit or delete payments:
Variable Mortgage rates increase
You have a variable interest mortgage and the rate increases. You would edit the rate for the period the interest rate increased and the future payments will recalculate based on the new interest rate.
Prepayment
You add a prepayment based on your yearly allowance you would enter the amount for the period the payment was completed and the mortgage will recalculate base on the remainder of the principle.
Why delete payments?
Because an inactive mortgage has active payment entries each entry has to be manually deleted. To delete the entry you can click on the TRASH icon next to the entry you wish to delete. Once the entry has been deleted the data will not appear in the income statement or financial reports.
