Tax Depreciation on Rental improvements: But we lived in home

We bought a property. SFH in south Florida. We've moved in and are redoing the floors and kitchen and some other things. Well, my job is relocating and we will have to turn this home into a rental come Spring/Summer after living there for 6 months while we improve it.

Maybe a dumb question but can I get any tax benefits from this remodeling if I lived there but it becomes a rental?

@Mitch Polatin

As others have mentioned, the improvements you make now will be added and eligible for depreciation when the property is converted to a rental.
