I want to buy an investment property I found for $50K. If I take out a home equity loan and use 100% of the money borrowed to buy an investment property can I list the interest I pay on a schedule E? If I take out a little bit extra to fix the investment property up can I still deduct the interest on schedule E?

I can get a better rate on a home equity loan and save $1500 in fees instead of getting a mortgage on the investment property. Also the home equity interest would be below my allowed minimum itemized deduction if I put it on my 1040 so it wouldn’t save me any money.

So is this allowed?

Thank you!
Yes this is a duplex that will be rented out. I will never live here.

I’ve been approved for a 1st mortgage at a fixed rate of 7.38 and a 2n mortgage interest only at 10.425. This loan is for an investment property. I’ve been told that the 2nd loan is Home equity line of credit. How much will my payments go up on the 2nd mortgage and should I look for another loan. Thank You.

I am planning on purchasing an investment property with 100% cash. I can purchase the property at 60% of market value. I then plan on pulling a loan out for 60% of the market value. Would it be considered a mortgage or a home equity loan? A mortgage currently is about 300 basis points lower than the home equity loan. I am hoping it would be considered a first mortgage because it would not be a second lien position. Thanks

this property is all long term renters 6 unit Grossing an income of 35,580.00 …per yr . total Operating exp. $13,500 so there is a profit of 22,260.00 which can pay off my home equity loan in a short time. the property is listed at 139,900 I would offer $105,000 i can get a home equity loan up to 45,000 to cover the 25% down payment which will lower the mortgage payment.
the owner is older women , her hubby has passed away and cant do much anymore. I was assuming this would be a good investment cause I can do 99.9 % of any repairs if needed. I was thinking keeping this investment cause, after the home equity loan is paid off, i ‘ll have additional income to pay off this property sooner all apartment are up to date also so what do you think
