Even if you pay it in 2026, you still couldn't claim all of it as a rental expense.
I don't believe that is accurate. @sockfight-1 wrote, " (Assuming the home is a rental for all of 2026)" and, if that's the case, then 100% of the expenses paid in 2026 are rental expenses and can be deducted (subject to the passive loss rules).
