How do I add a HELOC or home equity loan as a liability in PortfolioPilot?

When adding or editing your property in Net Worth - Real estate, you'll see an "Outstanding mortgage" field - this is for your primary mortgage only.

For a HELOC or home equity loan, add it separately:

  1. Open Net Worth - "Add an asset" - Other assets - Loan.
  2. Enter a name (e.g. "HELOC - Main St property").
  3. Enter the original loan amount in "Original investment amount".
  4. Enter the current balance in "Remaining loan amount".

The liability is reflected in your net worth, giving you an accurate equity figure for the property.
