   Hi, Denis!  Recently you wrote in a message to All:   
      
   DM>  As both a lender and then a Realtor with a combined Subj   
   DM>  years experience I heartily disagree with that sentiment.   
      
      
             The original message in the COOKING echo said "45 years experience".   
   Although I realize you are practising English by rewording stuff you have read   
   elsewhere, I had to write down your subject heading before I was able to quote   
   it back to you because "#.,9" doesn't makes sense to me... especially when you   
   use it later to represent quite a different number.   
      
             In English we occasionally use nonsense characters to represent some   
   profanity or coarse language which the reporter doesn't want to spell out, but   
   the letter "x" is more often used WRT unspecified names & numbers.   
      
      
      
   DM>  A.(nswer)1: The interest paid on commercial lenders   
   DM>  including those for rental properties is tax deductible   
   DM>  against the revenue earned but interest on residential   
   DM>  lenders on one's principal residence is not. However   
   DM>  capital gains on the disposal of a principal residence   
   DM>  is tax free as well.   
      
   DM>  And Yours A.?   
      
      
             I gather a Canadian with 45 years of related experience has answered   
   this question already.  Personally, I'd take his word for it....  :-Q
