land contract or sub2 & tax benefits?

Hi,

If you purchase a house via land contract or subject 2, you are basicly making payments against the original owners’ loan. With that being said, how do you as the buyer get the tax benefits of owning the home?

I really want to try this strategy, but I want to understand it a little better first. If you have any recommended resources, books, etc., I’d be interested in hearing about them.

I appreciate any suggestions. :rolleyes

Thank you much!
