No. Home improvements are added to the tax basis of your property, home repairs are maintain the good condition of your home.

Here's what I found so far: To deduct interest payments paid as itemized home mortgage interest, the loan obligation must be secured by a recorded mortgage or deed of trust against the home. This can be doneby their signing and recording a mortgage or deed of trust to secure the promissory note.
The tax benefits of a home improvement loan include the potential to deduct the interest paid on the loan from your taxable income, which can lower your overall tax liability. Additionally, any increase in the value of your home due to the improvements may also result in tax benefits when you sell the property.

Short answer is yes, your allowed to dedcut mortgage interest on more than one home. But of course, there are lots of qqualifications. See page 2 and on of this also linked below. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p936.pdf
The interest on the second mortgage is deductible but not the home equity loan. If you could deduct the interest on the equity loan also, then you would be double dipping and the IRS doesn't like that. In every situation, one party can and the other party can deduct the interest. Someone has to pay tax on the money transfer.

There are several options for obtaining unsecured personal loans for home improvements, including traditional banks, online lenders, credit unions, and peer-to-peer lending platforms. These loans do not require collateral but may have higher interest rates compared to secured loans. It's important to compare offers from different lenders to find the best terms for your needs.
Actually, you can't deduct any of the cost of maintaining or improving your home. Zilch. Just like you can't deduct any of the purchase price of buying it. Once, when the gain on a home was taxable, you needed to track the cost and improvements to determine the basis and derive the actual gain at sale (but that too is different than currently deducting it). And as the gain is generally no longer taxable, tracking basis is now not terribly important in most situations. (Unless very large appreciation in value, or unqualified sale is involved). True, with certain qualifying conditions, the interest on a loan/mortage secured to the home is deductable. But not the home or improvement.
