How to Enter Cash Purchase using a silent Private Lender

Question from Stacey (italicized green are Mike’s comments)

Hi Mike,

I’ve watched every video that I have access to, but I am still unclear on how to put in my private loan balances.

For example, I purchased a property last year.

I borrowed money from a private lender, (and deposited this money) put that in my (Operating Bank Checking Account) account and then paid (took a check) cash at closing.

Stacey is describing how to pay cash at closing when buying a property when using a private lender who funded this purchase without it showing on a closing statement.

I entered the closing statement as (starting with) a check.

Where do I enter the $50000 loan I’m paying on every month? (I memorized a check I can send every month, but I don’t know where to put the balance of the loan.)

Watch this short video – Let me show you how to enter all of this in a few simple steps — it really is brain-dead simple when you use the Post Office Method of Accounting as your foundation

If I could have help with one of these properties,

then I am hopeful I could input the rest of them correctly.

Please advise! Thanks!

Stacey
