Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether an individual with four existing properties can claim interest deductions on a fifth house purchased with a loan, by treating it as a Self-Occupied Property (SOP). The consensus is that yes, this is possible. An individual has the option to declare up to two properties as SOP, provided they are not already rented out.
