Normal yearly operational HOA fees would not be included in basis or sellers expense. The lender-required one-time estoppel fee is not considered a normal operational expense, in my opinion and would only arise in the context of a sale. Therefore, it is distinct from regular yearly HOA fees and should be treated accordingly.
However, if you wish to take a more conservative approach, you could opt to exclude it altogether.
