Rental Property Expenses

[feliped]

Is there a minimum time requirement that my short term property needs to be rented before I can deduct the furniture expenses? 

I am thinking on starting a short term rental in January but if it doesn’t do well by April I would think on stopping it and put the property for sale.

No. You can begin depreciation deductions as soon as the property is placed into service for rental use.
