How do I set up a loan for which I am the lender? (Q Mac)
Hi, I just got Quicken Classic Business and Personal for Mac. I am a personal lender on various projects, and need to know how do I set up loans for which I am the lender on the Mac software? The only answer I found was for the Windows version, and it didn't apply to the Mac version.
Thanks

@GSA this feature has been added in Quicken Classic for Mac (Premier & Business and Personal) in version 7.8.0. To add a loan account for which you are the lender, add a new account, choose Offline Account, then choose Lending Loan.

I see and like the new Loan as Lender option however I do not see how to create an Interest Only loan as lender.
Thanks,

As a Quicken for Windows user I don't know about how this was implemented in Quicken for Mac.
However, in Quicken for Windows I was able to create a regular (not Lender) Loan with Interest Only payments and a balloon payment at the end.
The trick was to set up a $10,000.00 loan with the regular, e.g., 10 year duration, monthly payments, 5% interest, etc. Once the loan was calculated, I went back one panel to edit the Monthly Payment from $106.07 to be only the total amount of interest due on the first payment, $41.67 with $0.00 for principal reduction.
Here's what that looks like in Q Windows:
So now I have a scheduled reminder for the next 10 years, with splits for $0.00 principal, $41.67 Interest every month and a $10,000 balloon payment at the end.
Hope you can do something similar in Q Mac.
Please let me know how that works for you.0 -
Hello,
I was able to set this up in Windows but was curious about the new loan as lender feature just released in the Mac version. It was one of the things that kept me from using it. I can set up an amortized loan in the Mac version but not interest only.
Thanks!

Well, while in Q Mac, can you set up a regular loan as Interest Only? Is it only the Lender Loan feature where Interest Only can't be made to work?
It's a new feature. Shake the Mac tree and see what falls out. 😉
And it would be nice of some other Q Mac users or somebody from Quicken would chime in here and confirm, deny or explain how to make it work …
