I did a Home Equity Loan on my personal home to pay off my two Townhouse Rental Properties.  I then setup an auto payment from my Townhouse checking to my personal checking to pay a portion of the refinanced loan on my personal house.  

My question is, can I include the expense of paying myself as a cost for the rentals when determining profit for 2020 like a normal mortgage payment. 

Thanks in advanced, new to the site.
