How do I enter a home or other property I plan to buy?
Where to find it: REAL ESTATE → Add Property → future acquisition date → Save and continue
Open REAL ESTATE and add the property with its type, owner and future acquisition date. Enter the requested values in today’s dollars and set the capital-appreciation assumption. The property field is growth ABOVE inflation; zero means keeping pace with inflation, not a flat future-dollar value.
Continue to the future-purchase form and enter the down payment as a percentage. Review the calculated funding and add the planned mortgage in LOANS when needed, linking it to the property.
The down payment must be funded by the scenario’s cash flow. Withdrawal PRIORITIES select available accounts when money is needed; use a separate automatic withdrawal if you want to request a particular account. Do not also enter the whole property purchase as an ordinary expense, which would duplicate the purchase cash flow.
For an FHSA or Home Buyers’ Plan purchase, complete the relevant property and account links. Inspect the purchase-year report and warnings to confirm the actual account withdrawals, financing and any remaining funding need.
