No, that's not how you should calculate it. It's no that "the mortgage wasn't secured by your qualified home" for the first 6 months, the mortgage didn't exist. You only use the months the mortgage existed. In your case, if you ignore the principal, your average mortgage balance was $2,000,000. You can deduct 37.5% of your interest.
