Do I benefit from tax perspective?

[Sam Schlacter]

I recently bought a townhouse as a rental property and closed it just before the New Year. Since the start of the new year I have been putting in some expenses on it - Replaced Carpet, House Cleaning, bought windows laptop to utilize MS Office etc and keep track of accounting etc. Do I benefit from tax perspective on any of these expenses I have to put behind the investment property? If yes, how? Could anyone explain?
