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.

Yes, he can change it.

In another words, he has option to declare any two properties as SOP, unless already rented.

I must request the querist if all the 4 houses are taken on loan basis. Then the 5th house must be taken on loan not necessarily.
