ummm, the mortgage interest deduction does NOT apply to rental properties, only your primary residence or a 2nd home that you spend at least 14 days or >10% of the time you rent it out. So, if you are talking about a fully rental property, it is incorrect.

I'm not saying that there are no advantages or deductions, only that this character is trying to portray it as the govt basically giving landlords all the funding to become landlords. If that were the case, he should simply do it — there's plenty of no/low money down ways to get into it —, but I notice that he is not doing it. It just smacks of a lot more attitude than fact.
