The IRS instruction for box 7 is this: If address of property securing mortgage is the same as PAYER’S/BORROWER’S address, check the box, or enter the address or description in box 8.
I would leave box 7 unchecked (answer N0 to the question) and enter the address in
box 8.
If the address in box 8 is your principal residence or your second home, you can claim mortgage interest reported on your form 1098.
