The seller credits are some kind of discount offered by the seller. but as far as I know, these credits can only be used to cover your mortgage expenses. In the closing statement, the selling price is still 1000k. If the credits are more than the expenses, the extra money will be used to reduce

I'm not sure what "50K credits" is, but I guess the seller gave you a discount? If the house price was discounted by 50k, arguably the house price wasn't worth 1000k but 950k. Alternatively, if you think the house price is really 1000k, you can use an Income: account. Some people say using an

Thanks. That’s what I was thinking, too. I already use autobean a fair bit so plumbing something up is in the realm of possibility. -- Brian Lalor (he/him)bla...@bravo5.orgOn Jan 4, 2024, at 7:29 PM, Red S wrote:Not that I know of. Perhaps others might. Beancount doesn't touch your sources
