I am trying to enter a year-to-date Journal Entry for a Mortgage on a rental property. I have entered the total amount owed at the beginning of the year minus the Escrow and minus the Interest which when I record it the amount owed now is correct.  The problem I have is that when I entered the Interest which I put it towards an Interest Expense account it shows a negative amount on the report.  What am I doing wrong?  The Journal Entry goes as follows:  Debit:  Asset (Rental Home) Credit:  Escrow Amount, Credit: Interest Amount, Credit:  Balance-Liability Account.  Can't figure out why Interest Expense shows negative amount.  Please Advise!
