Investors & landlords

It sounds like after your daughter moved out, you were not renting or attempting to rent the property.  Instead, it you began getting it ready to sell; therefore, it ceased to be a rental property.  I would add all the costs (flooring, painting, cleaning, etc.) to your basis in the property.
