If you are not renting out the extra house, treat it as a "second home" for IRS purposes. Mortgage interest and real estate taxes will be deductible. Here's the IRS citation:
Question: Is the mortgage interest and property tax on a second residence deductible? Answer:
The mortgage interest on a second home, which you do not rent out during the taxable year, is generally deductible if the interest satisfies the same requirements as interest deductible on a primary residence. If you rent out the residence, you must use it for more than 14 days or more than 10% of the number of days you rent it out, whichever is longer.
