I borrowed money from a family member to help with the down payment. When I sold the property, I gave the full amount back, no additional interest. I am trying to figure out if I can deduct the amount I paid back to reduce my capital gain since those funds were borrowed.

No, your purchase price is your basis in the property and paying back funds is not a deduction.
So, if you paid $100k and borrowed $50k, your basis is still $100k.
