This will depend on your accounting method that you use. If you are a cash basis business, then it is recognized when lease payments are received. If accrual, you could justify amortizing the payment but I cannot imagine why you would want to. I am assuming you are lessor in your question and not the lessee. If you are the one leasing the property, you cannot take a deduction for a lease payment you did not make.

Pretty good if your credit score is high enough. You possibly could qualify for a "Stated Income" loan. On investment property for a stated income loan you normally would have to have a 10% down payment. You can get into a mortgage loan with a lesser down payment going this route, but, you'll definitely be paying for it in your interest rate.
