Accounting Question and how to properly record entries
I am using GnuCASH software to record entries and have 2 properties where we are doing rehab. 1 of them were closed and just want to make sure how do I properly record entries. GNUCASH does not have Job Code or Project code like QuickBook. I have created sub accounts under fixed assets which has property name and for expenses also created sub accounts which records expenses for each property. I am confused how do I track profit/loss for each property.
Can you give example of chart of accounts:
1.Bought property for 100K
2. Paid 20K for rehab
3. Paid 10K for Interest
4. Sold for 150K
I have created
- Fixed Asset Account
- Bank Checking Account
- Expense Account for Rehab and Interest
- Gain/Loss account
- Owners Equity account
First there is entry
e.g. 130K deposit to bank from Owner so I Debit Bank checking account with 130K and credit Owner Equity account
Debit Fixed Asset for 100K and Credit Bank checking account.
For Expenses 20K rehab and 10K interest , Checking account Credit 30K and Expenses against rehab 20k and interest 10K.
How do I put entry for 150K which should offset fixed asset and rehab interest & paid interest paid and also gain/loss account ?
