New Rental 25k in improvements no tenants, write offs?

[Drake Espenlaub]

Bought a duplex in May, it was to be owner occupied for a year, therefore it is my 'primary residence' however it needed much improvement. I have put about 25k of my own money into improvements, 10k in HVAC, 3k Windows, 4k flooring, for just some of the larger expenses. 

I also bought a 2004 explorer so I could have a vehicle to haul things for the project, future projects.

Question is any of this deductible this year given the fact I haven't generated any income ($0 from other rentals as well) in from this property? 

Thanks for the advice.
