    Deduction for interest paid for loan secured in a foreigh country
    I work full-time in the US on a work visa. I bought a house in a different country (India) and took the loan in a bank in India. I do not have any income from that house (my parents live there). Is there a way I can claim a deduction for the interest paid for the loan?
