My budget is so tight that a 25k difference in impact fees can determine if the project is feasible or not.

So do I need to find the condo documents to determine who owns the condo roof (the homeowners or the condo association?)  

Of course I want to decrease my tax liability, but I also want to be able to show the banks how much positive cash flow I'm earning in order to help me qualify for next years investment properties...When reviewing tax returns for income to determine eligibility for a loan, do you look at gross rental income or net?

@Chris Ha, In multifamily the number of units is important, the loan amount size, occupancy rate, if the seller can provide P&L's or tax returns, your experience, population, state, city, value per door etc. will determine which multifamily program you will be able to apply for. 

Perhaps it would also help if you show that you've already done your market research and determined what you can rent your current house out for to show that it makes financial sense to do this too.

Sounds like you are beyond determined to make this work.
