Investors & landlords

Hi Diane,

 

Thank you for replying. I read Publication 527 Idle Property but feel it is not very clear. My concern is that I didn't list the house for rent after the tenant moved out in 2024. I will list the house for rent again in a near future. So the house is not ready in service for 5-6 month. Is 5-6 months too long to be reported as a idle property? Secondly, the publication says "Continue to claim a deduction for depreciation", how about insurance, mortgage interest, and RE tax? Thank you!
