Claim it on your 08 return and you won't have to worry about waiting. If you've already filed 08 file an amendment and get it now. I think you'll be fine renting out a couple rooms if it's your principal residence still. It might be worth giving an accountant a quick call on though. Cash always makes things easier with a situation like that too as it's a bit harder to track if you catch my drift.
