If this is a new mortgage you don't need any opening balance, but you will need to make a journal entry to record it in QB. If your bank sends you a monthy statement they may break out the interest and princ. for you. If they gave you an Amortization Schedule that will have the interest and princ. broken out.
Look in "Loan Manager" under "Banking". "Add Loan" wizard will help you set up all the necessary liability and expense accounts.
