This could be an issue (where you cannot deduct the interest as home mortgage interest nor use tracing to apply the loan to the rental property).

I'm going to page @AmeliesUncle.

Just to clarify, you "refinanced" your existing mortgage, and your new mortgage now includes BOTH the prior mortgage amount PLUS the 'cash out' that you paid off the rental, right?

Still have questions?
