interest tracing rule

用在自住房上，需要通過home mortgage interest deduction

用在出租房上，可以抵消這個出租房的出租收入。

如果用在度假，大學學費，醫療費，律師費，不能抵消任何利息。

When a taxpayer borrows funds, the deductibility of the related interest expense is determined by how the loan proceeds are ultimately used and not how the loan proceeds are collateralized.
