Affirmative Marketing Plan & Procedures

The 1613 Roosevelt Ave, Sanford Florida 32771 property is a HOME-funded property and is restricted by the HOME rent and income limits as provided by HUD regulations. The Realty Medics will focus on low-income families to occupy this property and will abide by the Fair Housing Act Laws which protects people from discrimination when they are renting a home, seeking housing assistance, or engaging in other housing-related activities. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing because of Race, Color, National Origin, Religion, Sex(including gender identity and sexual orientation), Familial Status, and Disability. Our least likely applicants for these properties are those who are not in line with the HOME rent and income limits based on their submitted application. We will consider current income and pay stubs to determine the best tenant for these properties.

The Realty Medics will post information about the HOME on our website and through our property management software, Appfolio, it will be shared on other third-party sites. Our team will advertise the home highlighting areas of favor:

Cozy 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath Home located in Sanford. Tile is set throughout the kitchen and bathroom areas. There is Carpet lined throughout the bedroom areas. The home features vaulted ceilings, washer/dryer hooks ups, and a one-car garage.

Some examples of these third-party websites are listed in the photos section.

Tenant Selection Procedures

Regarding vetting applicants, we will adhere to the guidelines sent to us. For income verification, we will use the adjusted home income limit as the income measure.

Rent will be set by the Home Program Rent table, following the Low Home Rent measure

provided by Seminole County and adhere to the rental amounts according to the number of bedrooms the property has.

The Realty Medics reviews applicants on a first come first serve basis, once the application is received, we will begin to run the application and all other applicants until we can approve an applicant.

We usually will not pause at one application, it’s usually the first completed application that qualifies is who we will approve.

We will ask for an ID along with a photo of the applicant holding their ID for security purposes. We ensure the ID matches the name and date of birth on the driver's license, once verified, we will screen the applicant looking for a credit score of 550 or higher to qualify, with no evictions or outstanding balances to landlords, and we do consider criminal history.

Once we have screened an applicant, we will calculate gross income. If the applicant is paid biweekly we take the average gross income of the four most recent pay stubs, and multiply by 26(half the weeks in a year), and divide by 12 to find the gross monthly income. If the applicant is paid weekly we will multiply the average gross income by 56 (amount of week in a year) and divide by 12 to find the gross monthly income. If they do not qualify we usually ask for additional income to help meet the requirement. If they are not able to we do not move forward with the application.

If we can move forward, we will reach out to the previous landlord to ensure they are in good standing with their rent and care of the property. Once this is confirmed we will move forward with an approval. This doesn’t exclude applicants with a certificate or Voucher under Section 8 Tenant Based Rental Assistance, waiting list, prompt written notification to rejected applicants, and compliance with VAWA requirements.
