David, Thanks for your emails and explanations. What I am really looking for, is how to do this transaction:
Increase the loan amount by $30,000 to bring it to the current value. I don't know where to put the offsetting entry for the $30,000. It does not go into checking, as I don't have a windfall of $30K in the checking account or against the Condo asset, nor in an expense account. So where does it go?
