In your experience do you see people commonly attempting to offset ordinary income / W2 with syndicated losses, despite the above?

Yes, this is quite a common practice for professional PM companies.

The Jerome Village income charge is definitely unique and it's not common at all in Columbus subdivisions.

We have expansive soils here (clay that expands when it gets wet) as well as some older cast iron lines and even some orangeburg so it's common to see sewer line issues (often just some tree roots that need to be cleaned then the line re-scoped).

All this fancy mumbo fha guideline gumbo means is that your projected market rents assuming all units, if it were rented Times 75% need to be greater than what your monthly payment is  (PITIA = principal/interest/taxes/insurance/assessments monthly), other wise FHA will not lend at that loan amount so common solutions to this when rents are too low in your local market are to put more money down payment which defeats the whole purpose of low 3.5% down FHA doesnt it?

Immediately before closing the sale dissolve the LLC and distribute the property to the former members so they are all tenants in common. 

A mortgage lien being the most common one.
