I borrowed money to buy a rental property. Can I claim the interest under investment expenses?

As per the Canada Revenue Agency "You can deduct the interest charge on money you borrow to buy or improve your rental property"

Mortgages can be considered money loans that are specific to property. If they are incurred for the purpose of earning income by renting property to tenants, the interest portion of the mortgage is deductible on line 8710 (Interest and bank charges) of the T776 Rental Income form. Only the interest portion of the mortgage is deductible, and the interest is only deductible in the original term of the loan.
