Can I claim interest paid for the purchase of a second property? I have mortgage interest and line of credit for the down payment of same property.

Currently this is not a rental property. We are expecting to make money when the property is sold in 3 years.

Investors and rental owners

This type of interest is not claimable for your investment in the second property, unless it becomes a rental. Then it can be used as a rental expense.

"If the only earnings your investment can produce are capital gains, you cannot claim the interest you paid. "
