Questão jurídica principal
Whether mortgage interest on acquired real estate may be treated as income acquisition costs for determining relevant income.
Decisão extraída
Mortgage interest may be treated as income acquisition costs only up to the amount of the income produced by the encumbered property.
Fundamentação extraída
The link between the interest expense and the generation of income is limited by the yield of the property itself; expenses exceeding that yield are not acquisition costs for income determination.
