cant reconcile transaction on rental income.

Question

Everytime I add either rent or a expense transaction , it adds that transaction to my bank account throwing off my numbers and doubling the totals. How do i create rents and expenses without screwing up my checking account todays. I cant change the category

I use a Category with Sub-Categories along with tags. The sub categories may be the same as some of my regular home use categories such as "Utilities". But when used as a Sub-Category, I know it is for rent expenses. Such as:

Rental Property:Advertising
 Rental Property:Deposit
 Rental Property:Dining
 Rental Property:Landscape
 Rental Property:Utilities
 Rental Property:etc.....

Then I use a "Tag" to clarify which property it is, such as an address:
 1234 Name Street
 567 Easy Road

Hope this helps.
