Do I claim 75% of condo insurance as a deduction on a rental property purchased in April 2018 or claim the total paid in 2018?

Only deduct the 75% that relates to 2018.

You can deduct the premiums for insurance coverage on your rental property for the current year. If your policy gives coverage for more than one year, you can deduct only the premiums that relate to the current year.

Deduct the remaining premiums in the year or years to which they relate.
