In 2015 we put vinyl siding on our personal home to prepare to rent it starting 6/1/16, can we depreciate this? We pay on a personal loan each month for the siding still.

We own a home that we lived in from 2006 until 2016. In 2015, we new we would have to rent our home to move so we put up vinyl siding because the clapboard with rotting. We took out a 3 year loan on the siding and are still paying on it. Are we able to depreciate the siding knowing that we did it to rent our home and started renting it on 6/1/16?
