Investment house - purchased in 2009, but not available to rent until 2010

[Carlos Santiago]

Question on Taxes:

Bought an investment property in 2009. Spent time renovating the property and its ready to rent in March of 2010.

I believe I cannot begin depreciating this property on my 2009 taxes because the property wasn't available for use then.

Can I take depreciation starting in 2010 taxes? Even if things like Carpet and Stove were purchased in 2009?

Thank you.
