    Did you actually receive cash or did you sign a loan and receive the asset? I would guess the latter, in which case the entry is to dr the Asset and cr Loan Payable. If you actually received cash, you have two entries: Dr Cash, cr Loan Payable upon receipt of the cash. You then turned around and used the cash to buy the asset: dr Asset, cr Cash

    In paying the loan, you would generally have payments. Part would be interest and part would be principal payments. You would dr Interest Expense, dr Loan Payable, and cr Cash.
