Mortgage interest deduction

Can I deduct mortgage interest on a second home if my primary residence is an apartment that I rent? I am relocating to california for my job and will rent an apartment but I would like to keep my home in Las Vegas but need to know if my mortgage interest will still be deductible.

Thank you

You can deduct mortgage interest as an itemized deduction on sch A of 1040 for a second home. You can?t claim mortgage interest on your tax return if you take the standard deduction; so, You can deduct the mortgage interest you paid on a second home as well as on your first home. The mortgage on your second home must be secured with the residence as the collateral
