Deducting Origination Costs on Line of Credit

Paul C.

Does anyone know how you would deduct the costs of obtaining a line of credit?  For example, let's say I get a line of credit and I pay the following fees:

Attorney Fees: $500

Origination Fees: $750

Title Fees: $1,500

Could any of these fees be either deducted or capitalized when they're not associated with a specific rental property?  If so, what would be the proper way to do it?

Thanks in advance.

What are the funds used for? Or is a continuous line of credit?

Amortized out over the length of the line of credit. Or deducted over the time frame of the items purchased.  For example if you purchase a property and it is depreciated over 27.5 years. You will amortize that cost over that term with the property.
