Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">29. Debt</span>
<br />This question identifies whether the owner of the dwelling currently has a debt for having applied for a loan, credit, or financing to buy or build the dwelling. Read the question mentioning the answer choices and circle the corresponding code.</p>

<p>[Figures are omitted]</p>

<p>Consider that the dwelling is fully paid if the owner applied for a credit, financing, or loan, but he/she finished paying. The owner is paying for the dwelling if the owner obtained a loan, financing, or loan to buy or build the dwelling and currently he/she makes periodic payments to a public or private institution (e.g. INFONAVIT, FOVISSSTE, PEMEX, or a bank) or a relative, friend, or moneylender. They stopped paying for the dwelling if the owner obtained a loan, financing, or loan to buy or build housing and currently he/she does not make regular payments. If they tell you that temporarily (between one to three months) they could make payments, circle the answer "it is being pay for".
