Investors & landlords
There is virtually nothing you can do to avoid capital gains tax and depreciation recapture at this point.
Had you met the time frames, you could have done a 1031 (like-kind) exchange (but would not have any utility if you were planning to use the proceeds to build a house to be used as a personal residence).
See https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-news/fs-08-18.pdf and https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/1031
You could also check into a QOF (qualified opportunity fund), but that involves deferral of capital gains tax only and not depreciation recapture and there are time limits (but would also have no utility if you need the proceeds from the sale to build a personal residence).
