If you both have full-time jobs, then you most likely aren't considered real estate professionals.
This, from 2017 Instructions for Schedule E (rental and Royalty Properties):
You were a real estate
professional for the year only if you met
both of the following conditions.
- More than half of the personal
services you performed in trades or businesses
during the year were performed
in real property trades or businesses in
which you materially participated.
- You performed more than 750
hours of services during the year in real
property trades or businesses in which
you materially participated.
If you are married filing jointly, either
you or your spouse must meet both
of the above conditions without taking
into account services performed by the
other spouse.
