Mortgage Interest deduction on Rental property

[mschelstrate]

I paid mortgage interest on my primary residence that I reside in. Can I deduct this mortgage interest from the income earned on my rental property which does not have a mortgage?

No, the mortgage is not on your rental house. It is on your personal residence, It is not an expense you need to pay to get the rental income.
