This thread hasn't talked about unrealized gains and losses in your
investments, I believe. If you track those, the same technique works
well. If you do, you probably want to create Equity:Unrealized
Appreciation as a placeholder, with subaccounts Unrealized
Appreciation-House and Unrealized Appreciation-Investments.
