Why isn't my $124 monthly home loan PMI (private mortgage insurance) premium tax deductible just like interest?'
That was the essence of an e-mail I received from an irate reader who recently bought his first home with a 5 percent down payment. Only later did he and his wife discover their $124 per month PMI expense is neither tax deductible nor does it build equity on their new home.

The much anticipated legislation making private mortgage insurance (PMI) premiums tax-deductible finally passed with the Mortgage Insurance Fairness Act last month.
PMI is a monthly premium attached to a mortgage payment for folks whose down payment is less than 20 percent. The logic is simple: The larger the down payment, the bigger the spread between the value of the collateral and the loan size. Borrowers are less likely to default on their mortgage and ultimately lose their home if they have 20 percent (or more) equity at stake.

Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws from seven Federal agencies to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) as of July 21, 2011. The Bureau is in the process of republishing the regulations implementing those laws with technical and conforming changes to reflect the transfer of authority and certain other changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act. In light of the transfer of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System's (Board's) rulemaking authority for the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) to the Bureau, the Bureau is publishing for public comment an interim final rule establishing a new Regulation Z (Truth in Lending).

I have rented a single-family house out to the same tenant for 15 years, and this person is moving out next month. I owe $68,000 on the property, and it could sell for $280,000.
I am a novice investor. However, I would like to eventually own an investment that gives me enough net cash flow so that I can go into partial retirement. The property nets $200 per month. I am trying to figure out if I should do a 1031 exchange and obtain a four- or five-unit building (which will cost between $400,000 and $500,000) or a commercial building.
