You do realize this is an accounting question, not a GnuCash question, right? But there is a GnuCash feature you may not be aware of. I'm not sure why you are contemplating three transactions with a total of six splits, when it's all logically one transaction. You wouldn't be getting this mortgage if you weren't buying this property, or buying this property without this mortgage or "reservation" (a Swiss real-estate term I don't know). I believe that entering them as one transaction would be more logical, and faster too: Assets...Real Estate: increase (debit) 500K (property value) Liabilities...Mortgage Loans: increase (credit) 300K Assets...Checking Account: decrease (credit) 150K (down payment) Assets...Checking Account: decrease (credit) 50K (reservation) If you're doing this in an account register, you may need to click the Split button at the top to open enough fields to make this entry.
