Not a professional but this is what I did. Just like any business you can have start up costs (expenses) prior to income in the following year. See IRS rules on startup costs, because not everything is included. Not sure since you have a ratio of 3 months to 0 if costs will be just be carry over losses, useful when you sell. Don’t forget travel expenses to buy house. Also, when you moved in did you spend days furnishing, repairing, getting tv etc. installed., I.e. business days?
