Capital Gain Tax reduction

[Ana Cherm]

Sold the condo earlier this year and facing couple K's in capital gain tax since it was a rental for last five years. 

While I guess I should be happy to face that problem but still would be nice to be able to reduce the tax.

Any creative but legal ways to adjust the base to reduce the taxes (I.e. how to handle HOA dues... Etc.)

Thnx
