Exhibit 31.2

                                  CERTIFICATION

I, Alan P. Hirmes, hereby certify that:

     1.  I have  reviewed  this  quarterly  report on Form  10-Q for the  period
         ending June 30, 2006, of American Mortgage Acceptance Company;

     2.  Based on my  knowledge,  this  quarterly  report  does not  contain any
         untrue  statement of a material  fact or omit to state a material  fact
         necessary  in  order  to make  the  statements  made,  in  light of the
         circumstances  under which such  statements  were made,  not misleading
         with respect to the period covered by this quarterly report;

     3.  Based on my knowledge,  the financial  statements,  and other financial
         information  included in this quarterly  report,  fairly present in all
         material  respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and
         cash flows of the  registrant as of, and for, the periods  presented in
         this quarterly report;

     4.  The  registrant's  other  certifying  officer and I are responsible for
         establishing  and  maintaining  disclosure  controls and procedures (as
         defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e))  and internal
         control  over  financial  reporting  (as defined in Exchange  Act Rules
         13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and we have:

         a) designed  such  disclosure  controls and  procedures  or caused such
         disclosure   controls  and   procedures   to  be  designed   under  our
         supervision,  to  ensure  the  material  information  relating  to  the
         registrant,  including its consolidated subsidiaries,  is made known to
         us by others within those entities,  particularly  during the period in
         which this quarterly report is being prepared;

         b) designed such internal control over financial  reporting,  or caused
         such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our
         supervision,  to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
         of financial reporting and the preparation of financial  statements for
         external  purposes in accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
         principles;

         c) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's  disclosure controls
         and procedures and presented in this quarterly  report our  conclusions
         about the effectiveness of the disclosure  controls and procedures,  as
         of the  end of  the  period  covered  by  this  report  based  on  such
         evaluation; and

         d)  disclosed  in this report any change in the  registrant's  internal
         control over financial  reporting that occurred during the registrant's
         most  recent  fiscal  quarter  that  has  materially  affected,  or  is
         reasonably  likely to  materially  affect,  the  registrant's  internal
         control over financial reporting; and

     5.  The registrant's other certifying  officer and I have disclosed,  based
         on our most  recent  evaluation  of  internal  control  over  financial
         reporting,  to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the
         registrant's  board of trustees (or persons  performing  the equivalent
         functions):

         a) all significant  deficiencies and material  weaknesses in the design
         or operation of internal  control over  financial  reporting  which are
         reasonably  likely to  adversely  affect  the  registrant's  ability to
         record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

         b) any fraud,  whether or not  material,  that  involves  management or
         other  employees  who  have a  significant  role  in  the  registrant's
         internal control over financial reporting.
