Those are not deductible expenses.  If you are paying costs the make your home more attractive to sell, that is considered a reduction in the selling price and reduces your gain subject to capital gains tax.

Key to my question is the land contract sale vehicle. The buyer pays the property taxes and can deduct it. I receive monthly interest and principal payments from him. Are the home insurance and maintenance contract expenses which I pay deductible to me?
