Investors & landlords

I had a loss on my property for the first time in 4 years.  I am an active participant but no other income to fulfill the $25000 active participant exception.  This exception eats up my loss.  Can I choose to carry it over as a passive loss even if I am an “active participant” ie I rent it out and hire repair people, etc. eyc.  Manage it myself.  It’s my only rental.
