2022-05-30 # "HOA fee [MONTHLY]"
  Expenses:Hoa                                      1024.00 USD
  Assets:Checking                                  -1024.00 USD

And then, you will see the forecast in Net Profit chart.

The tag [MONTHLY] above means it will recur forever. If you have more conditions to apply, try [MONTHLY UNTIL 2022-06-01], [MONTHLY REPEAT 5 TIMES], [YEARLY REPEAT 5 TIMES], or [WEEKLY SKIP 1 TIME REPEAT 5 TIMES].
