How do I link an existing house and mortgage account?

About linking an existing house and mortgage account

After you create a house account in Quicken, or convert a previously existing asset account to a house account, you can link it with existing mortgages or loans attached to the property. When you do this, Quicken can calculate your equity for you. You must already have set up both the house and loan account(s) in Quicken to link them.
