I, also, have heard that Congress is very serious about eliminating the mortgage interest deduction for homes that are not your principal residence. This would definitely be a good idea to reduce the deficit without raising taxes.
I was just wondering how it would affect homes here in the villages. Many people here have bought second homes for rental and to use on a vacation . Would this put a damper on the sale of homes here,if one could not deduct the mortgage interest on those homes? I think it would.
