Can you deduct mortgage interest if you take the standard duction ?

No. That is an itemized deduction. Unless you have business expenses and have a home office.

Mortgage interest is usually deductible on Schedule A as an itemized deduction. If you do not itemize you cannot take the deduction. However, if you are renting the property you can deduct it as a rental expense.
