It sounds like you are trying to take a sec 179 on a rental house. You can't do that. A rental house is not eligible but expenses for items in it can be. See Electing the 179 deduction which states:
Property Acquired for Business Use
To qualify for the section 179 deduction, your property must have been acquired for use in your trade or business. Property you acquire only for the production of income, such as investment property, rental property (if renting property is not your trade or business), and property that produces royalties, does not qualify.
