Amount used for rental purchase divided by amount of loan = portion allocated ("traced") to rental property.

If you allocate the percent of the interest to the rental property can you also deduct the amount used to purchase the rental property from the total loan for purposes of the $1,000,000 home loan limitation?

I don't know offhand. But you might be at the $750K limit now after the cash out refi.

Dump the 10T regs into a bowl with the 8T regs and sprinkle a CCM on top.

Tracing rules are so much fun in late March.
