LOL Eliminate all mortgage interest deductions. That'll do it better. At least it would be fair across the board. Might not be popular and might have a somewhat detrimental impact on the housing market. It would probably help the rental market though. Fair would be nice. There is no housing market currently. Why should the IRS be involved in giving perks for taxpayers receiving loans? At current loan rates, are we talking a lot of money in interest deductions? The IRS is trying to manipulate our lives with deductions, exemptions, and credits. *It's not fair* |

It's not fair that they don't get a deduction. That's not the point of this discussion, but it is a good point. I'd have no problem with taking away the mortgage interest deduction, if they grandfathered, somehow, those who bought their homes with that deduction as part of their ability-to-pay calculation. My daughter couldn't afford to stay in her house without the mortgage interest deduction, for example. If a person has a zero-interest mortgage, then they weren't planning on the deduction in their ability-to-pay calculations. Why just a second home? Maybe even the rich congressfolk that dreamed up the deduction couldn't go so far as to make it available for their sixth home, or whatever. |

Might not be popular and might have a somewhat detrimental impact on the housing market. It would probably help the rental market though. Fair would be nice. Agreed. There is no housing market currently. Actually there is, but it would get a hell of a lot worse without the interest deduction. Why should the IRS be involved in giving perks for taxpayers receiving loans? Already discussed. The IRS didn't do it, our presidents and congressfolk did it. At current loan rates, are we talking a lot of money in interest deductions? Well, look at this: Basic info Interest rate [?] 4.250% APR (annual percentage rate) [?] 4.560% Loan type [?] 30-year fixed Points [?] 0.500 Loan amount [?] $400,000 Pre-payment penalty [?] None Lock period [?] 30 days Monthly payment Principal & interest [?] $1,967 Now, $400,000 divided by 360 payments gives $1111 as the amount towards principal, which would leave $856 of interest paid each month. That would give me a deduction of $10,272. That's a pretty significant deduction. The IRS is trying to manipulate our lives with deductions, exemptions, and credits. Not the IRS, your president and congressfolk. *It's not fair* That's what I said up front! |

If you cut a hole in the bottom of your rowboat and screwed a toilet seat onto it...and if you carried and didn't drink a can of squeeze and if you brought that inflatable mattress aboard...you, too, could deduct second home mortgage interest.
