I own two duplexes (one in which i am currently living in) and am filing jointly/married. Can I deduct the standard deduction ($24,800) and any expenses that I have made for my duplex? OR - Am I only allowed to claim expenses if I were to do Itemized Expenses vs Standard Deduction?

Rental income and expenses are only reported on Schedule E. Those expenses are not relevant on whether or not you use the Standard Deduction or Itemized Deductions for personal deduction on Schedule A.
Personal itemized deductions on Schedule A are medical expenses, state and local income taxes paid or sales taxes paid, property taxes paid on a personal residence (not used as a rental or in a business), mortgage interest paid on a personal residence, mortgage insurance paid on a personal residence, charitable donations and certain limited Miscellaneous itemized deductions.
The total of all your itemized deductions on Schedule A must be greater than the standard deduction for your filing status to have any tax benefit.
