Bridge loan secured by financial assets to purchase home

I wanted to purchase a new primary residence prior to selling my home. I took a bridge loan against financial assets, can I still deduct the interest on the loan?

posted

No.

To deduct the interest as mortgage interest, the loan has to be secured by the home.

See page 3 of this IRS document.
