Is there a limit on the amount of expences a landlord can deduct from taxes per year? Such as replacing things that are coming up due, such as floors, siding, and windows?

9 units. My deductible is $500. Is it worth changing to $1000 to save $129 a year? How often are you making insurance claims? Thanks for input. Have a wonderful day.
What percentage rate of insurance deductible do most of you use. I am currently using 1% deductible and considering using 2% or 3% percent instead.
