Based on the scenario you provided the interest is not deductible. https://www.irs.gov/publications/p936/ar02.html#en_US_2015_publink1000229900In order for a home mortgage interest you need to have the following:1) The interest must be based on a mortgage you took to buy, build, or improve your home and less than $1M (check)2) The mortgage debt must be secured on a home (check)3) The secured debt must be on a qualified home Since your home is now a rental, this disqualifies you from taking the home mortgage interest deduction.
