2017 was the 1st year owning my rental property.  A deductible real estate loss was reported on Schedule E fo -$2,500.

Is this a passive loss I can carryover to this year?

No, if you are allowed to take your loss, you must take it in the year it occurs. If your income is over $150,000, you are not allowed to take the loss and it carries forward on Form 8582 until you dispose of the property.
