Investors & landlords

Yes, as @MinhT1 stated above that is correct.  If the property was a rental to start, then the loan fees can be amortized over the life of the loan, (ex. $6,000 in fees could be deducted over 30 years at $200 per year if it was a 30 year mortgage with $6,000 in loan fees).

 

 But if it is a home to start with, loan fees are considered a personal expense and cannot be deducted at all.
