Any work you do to get the property ready for renting is classed by IRD as capital improvement, and is not fully deductible. You have to add the costs to the original purchase price, and depreciate the total (purchase price + improvement cost) [separate land value ,land is not depreciated]over the life of the property (from the date placed in service (ready to rent)
The dwelling is 192 sq ft Property Tax Value as a percentage in relation to your primary.[less the home office area ] LOL sharpen you pencil. That percentage can be used for utilities if no separate meter.
The county tax assessor going to love you, they will probably give you a good basis as soon as they reassessment of the area.
Good luck
