My rental property state tax is making me take standard deduction - why?

I entered the state income tax for my rental properties in TT.  

Then when I enter the state tax on my own house, it tells me "you've maxed out the federal $10,000 for itemized state and local taxes."  And that my home's property tax doesn't count because my best tax break is the $24400 standard deduction. 

Why is this happening?  I thought the new $10,000 limitation on the state and local tax deduction does not apply to taxes you deduct on a business return. My deductions on Schedules C, E, and F should be safe.
