Borrow from family for BRRRR to keep interest tax deductible?

I'm planning to do a BRRRR. Cash purchase for 90k, put in 15k and refinance for 110-120k

Since interest is no longer tax deductible unless you get a mortgage at the time of pruchase, I'm thinking it makes sense to borrow money from a family member rather then pay cash upfront, so when I refinance I can still claim the interest on taxes. Really, I could borrow the full 90k upfront so when I refinance I can deduct interest on the 90k.

Any issues with this? As long as the mortgage to family is well documented and at the prevailing market interest rates, I think it should pass muster
