You can book the 'reverse loan' as an Asset (which is what it
is--hopefully not a 'toxic asset' like the banks have). You may be
looking for a special account type which could calculate your interest
receipts automatically, and I don't know of a way to do that in MD,
unless you can open an MD loan account with a negative principal, but
it probably wouldn't calculate interest properly anyway.

If you manually calculate interest and enter the payment with a split
between interest income and the loan's asset account, then an asset
account should work fine.

The only problem was in the "Loan" account, I am holding a mortgage for some property I sold and found no way to set up a "reverse loan" other than that I love Moneydance. If anybody has a way to handle the "reverse loan" I would love to hear from you.
