Hi
I have a client who asked if he should refinance his house to pay off the line of credit and a mortgage for his business building.
He has an LOC and a first mortgage on this building where his business sits.
Questions:
1. Is this allowed?
2. Would he be limited to interest deduction of up to $750K of mortgage balance if he decides to refinance? The properties (home and business building) were purchased before the 2017 tax law change.
Thank you

You can refinance your house and use the money for whatever you want.
He's not going to get the $750K limit for home mortgage because it won't be used to buy, build, or improve his principal residence.
