    Can I deduct mortgage interest from a US Bank Mortgage on a Mexico Home?
    We own one home, and it's in Mexico. My wife lives there full time, and I commute to and from the States. We have a mortgage from a US bank in dollars for this home in Mexico. Can we deduct the interest payments for this home on our tax returns?
