    Points on rental house

    On a Schedule A, you can add the points to the mortgage interest.

    But what about rental property? I would think the points are just part of the closing costs that add to the basis in the house.

    Any thoughts?

      Points

      Points paid on rental property should be amortized over the life of the loan.
      In other words, a democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.
