How to claim rental expenses from personal-to-converted rental property with no income?

Hello Fabulas TurboTax Fam!

I would like to seek how to claim rental expenses on my recently converted rental property that had no income in TY2022.

Context:

1. First time landlord. Closed on a new property (primary residence) on mid of September 2022.

2. Gradually moved to my new primary residence from my old property by around mid of October 2022.

3. Did some house fixes to prep my old property for taking rentals during the gradual move out.

4. Worked with my rental realtor to post MLS listing and "Ready for Rent" post on the yard, on 10/22/22 for immediate move-in.

5. After few potential tenant walkthroughs, none led to application stage so took the feedback of my realtor to repaint and did some more fixes on the property (fences, microwave, etc.) during November 2022.

6. Finally, got an application for a move in date of 16th December 2022. Property was occupied by tenants for 16 days in TY2022.

7. Tenant cuts a check of (full) first month's rent to the Realtor and paid on the move in date walkthrough.

8. I got the my first prorated rent for the first 16 days on Jan 2023.

I have incurred $2913.85 of expenses in maintaining and fixing/improving the property since the rental property for immediate move in was posted. I intentionally did not include expenses incurred in fixing my property during my gradual move out for two reasons: a. Some are due to incidents during my stay. b. I read in one of the article that I cannot deduct expenses for preparing the property for the first time rental.

My Questions:

1. Given the context, I only incurred expenses and no income in TY2022. Can I claim these expenses as deduction against my W2 income or not?

2. Can I file these expenses as loses and carry forward to TY2023 and possibly deduct them against my future rental income?

3. I'm doing standard deductions for TY2022 as it is higher than my itemized deductions. Can I take these expenses as loses without itemizing i.e. with Standard deductions based filing?
