Deducting points paid for mortgage on investment property
I paid points up front to lower my mortgage rate on an investment property. Where on Turbo Tax can I deduct the points? Can I take the points in one year or do I need to spread it out over the life of the loan?
Also I paid for a bank appraisal fee. $660. Where can I deduct that? I read I cannot add that to the basis of my property. Is it possible to deduct it as a Real estate startup cost. I think I need to make a section 195 selection to deduct startup costs.
This expenses were for the purchase of my first investment property.
Thanks!
