Accounting question for flips- WIP account
New to accounting for FLIPS.
Right now I have all expenses (utilities, material, labor, interest loan payments, insurance) posting to the WIP account.
Should I be posting construction loan draws to the WIP account as a journal entry as well?
Currently, they are posting to the loan liability account only: From the loan account > draw bank account as a transfer in QBO.
TIA!

Agree with Simon and Charles. One thing to consider, if there's a draw fee, that will be booked to the WIP account.
You can also have multiple WIP accounts for flips if that helps with your tracking. For example:
Flips - Purchase Price
Flips - Acquisition Costs
Flips - Rehab Costs
Flips - Holding Costs
Flips - Selling Costs
