taxlady49 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Client has a bridge loan that paid off the mortgage on home and provided down payment on new home. Is this debt considered acquisition debt or home equity debt? We obviously would like to take it as acquisition since the amount exceeds the limits for home equity debt The process is really backfiring as the original house has yet to sell and client will soon have to make a huge interest payment. I thought I understood the process but the more I read, the more I get myself confused. Thank you, Barb Stevens University Hts., OH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount that was the down payment on the new home is acquisition debt, the amount to refinance the old home is refinance debt. lbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
