Is there any deductible/tax relief one gets on the closing costs or the initial expenses or any other costs related to setting the home?

No - the only costs you can deduct are home mortgage interest, real estate taxes, and (possibly) mortgage insurance premiums. You can also deduct points you may have paid as part of a mortgage origination fee, but whether you can deduct them all in year 1 or have to amortize their cost over the life of the loan depends on several factors - see Pub 530 for details:Quote:

All other closing costs and other initial expenses are your personal expenses and so are not deductible.
