Title of the message:
First Trust Deed HELOC -- deductibility of interest?

Text of the message:
Hello,
My wife and I are considering refinancing our home with a rare type of
loan that looks quite interesting. This loan is called a "First Trust
Deed, Home Equity Line of Credit" (FTDHELOC). Our current loan is a
traditional 15 year mortgage at 4.875%, with 13 years left on it.
The FTDHELOC is a very common type of home loan instrument in
Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, but it seems to be quite
rare here in the U.S. (HELOC's as seconds are common, however.)
How it works is that the home is refinanced with a HELOC as the first
(and only) home loan, typically up to 80% of the appraised value of
the home. The loan is simple interest payback, so that requires strong
financial discipline to pay down the principle. Since we are
financially disciplined, and budget our monthly house payment, that's
not an issue for us. This type of loan gives us greater cash flow
