I'm erring on the side of caution that this wouldn't be allowed. 

We're coming up on the expiration for a lease.

Bonus depreciation is just a special part of the US tax code.It allows you to take accelerated depreciation on portions of your property depending on when an asset is put into service.At the time of this writing, you can write off a huge portion (60% in 2024) of many qualified components that have a useful lifespan of 15 years or less.That means a certain percentage of things like landscaping, sidewalks, latches, appliances, fences, certain flooring, etc is depreciable in year 1.The bonus depreciation rate percentage changes yearly depending on the administration and the tax code.For years 2015 through 2017 first-year depreciation for all the items on a 15-year schedule or less was set to 50%.It was scheduled to go down to 40% in 2018 and 30% in 2019 and then 0% in 2020.But then Trump got elected, and he enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.That moved the bonus depreciation percentage to 100% from 2017 to 2022.In 2023 it went down to 80% and it’s currently at 60%.Depending on who gets elected again, 100% may be back on the table.Only time will tell.We know that the US government wants to incentivize more development and ownership of RE.They want Americans to continue to build and maintain our physical world.That’s why real estate is one of the most tax-advantaged assets in the US.Depreciation and bonus depreciation for RE are very positive and will likely continue in the years ahead.

How long do rental properties typically stay on market before they are occupied with a tenant?

Glad to hear you've decided on a market, have a plan, and budget in place!

I also just found out my Tenant lied on his application and was supposed to register as a sex offender YEARS AGO!!.

@Eric Burger so I have not viewed the current BP lease for Colorado so I can't comment on that.

Would I still be able to cost seg on this now?

The other "economical" areas are going to be more management heavy (think cheaper houses that are expensive in the long run) and the A/A+ neighborhoods will be very difficult to get cash flow (think Elmwood Village or Hertel Ave duplexes that are $350-400K but gross $3600/mo on the top end).
