If you have a rental property, you can deduct the expenses related to the property.  Those expenses include property taxes (including local propositions), and mortgage interest.  You cannot deduct the principal portion of your loan payments.  You can also deduct maintenance and upkeep, repairs, etc.

For more information see IRS Pub 527 - Residential Rental Property
