Question

Regarding an investment apartment, I know that mortgage payments cannot be considered as expenses for calculating tithes, as they are considered payments for purchasing the apartment. However, what about life insurance that the bank requires to secure the mortgage? Can it be considered a business expense?

Answer

Hello,

The insurance is part of the mortgage and is treated as the mortgage.
