more than 1.5 L in housing loan interest

And if you are repaying interest for a second or third property, there is no upper limit to the amount of interest you can get tax exemption for.

It is interesting, buy one more property if interest is more than 1.5 L, to have full amount to claim

It's not about second or third property, it's about self-occupied and let out property. If your property in respect of which housing loan interest is paid, is let out, then there is no limit for claiming exemption amount, provided you have to show rent income against that property. However, if the property in respect of which such interest is paid, is self-occupied, then in that case, you will be eligible for exemption upto 1.5 Lacs only, be it second property or third property.

I didn't know that one can claim interest already paid in previous years in current year once you have taken the possession of the property.
