vacation rental question

Tammy Bentley
Posted

My husband and I recently purchases a cottage that we would like to rent weekly.  The cottage does need some repairs and improvements that will probably take 6 months or so to complete.   I am wondering if there are certain restrictions/ requirements for allowing us to claim the expenses/repairs without having rental income for the first 6 to 9 months?  Is there any experts in this area that I could also read their posts?  

Thank you

Why weekly? And why wait? Are the floors falling in or something? Just rent it nightly now and fix it as you go with OPM!!
