Investors & landlords

My only other question is this is a 2nd home for me, but I don't live there any days of the year.  I don't own any 3rd or more properties, just this duplex in the question and my primary home. 

 

Even though the duplex generated the $600 a month income, and I don't live there I can claim the interest/property taxes with my own primary home then?

 

Also, thank you for the explanation of the info. and really appreciated how you broke it all down.  🙂
