No different than buying a two-family. If you can only afford the two-family as long as the other unit is rented out then, you can't afford the house. I have a few friends in this latter category that got close to serious trouble because of an vacant unit.

The worst thing about removing the deduction is, it will send housing prices WAY down, because the same house will suddenly cost a couple hundred more each month. It would be horrible...
