On what date did you close on the purchase? Also, what is the earliest date that a renter "could" have moved in? Generally, that's the day you put the "for rent" sign in the front yard. I need these dates, because that will determine if you will report this as a rental property on your 2017 return, or if you have to wait until next year when you do the 2018 return.
