I have a house for sale and live in an apartment. Can I treat the house as a rental property for tax purposes

I moved to TN and still own a townhouse in FL. It has been on the market for over a year. Can I deduct any part of the mortgage or expenses? I know I can deduct interest expense. If this were rented out, I think I would be able to deduct the HOA fees, and all expenses to offset the rent, or “income” recieved. In the situation with the house empty, can rent be considered 0, or a loss?

No. You cannot claim anything if it is not rented.
Unless the house is rented and you are receiving income from the house no you can not claim it as rental .
You can either actually turn it into rental property and write off your expenses or you can rent it out,TEMPORALLY, with the full intent to sell it and not lose your profit exemption when you do sell it. In other words keep it on the market.
