If you own any real estate that you are purchasing through owner financing, the real estate taxes that you pay are deductible.

If this is your primary residence, then of course you can, easily.
If this is an investment property, you can deduct interest too, although with a little more paperwork. The basic idea is, if the activity generates a taxable income (e.g., you rent the property), then you can deduct your business expenses, like repairs, loan interest, etc., against this income.
Please note that you will really want to consult a professional, to be sure – don’t just rely on us here. There are also some good and easy books, like JK Lasser’s series.
