Owners We Work With Across the Area
Most of our clients own or manage multifamily rental properties in Fort Lauderdale and the towns around it. We regularly talk with owners in Wilton Manors, Oakland Park, Lauderhill and Lauderdale Lakes, and our work reaches south to Dania Beach and Hollywood and north to Pompano Beach and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Owners in Broadview Park and Roosevelt Gardens are welcome too. Because the filings are documents, not site visits, a property's exact location rarely changes how we help.
What does change the work is timing. The exemption runs on a yearly calendar, and a missed step can cost a full year of savings. We like to start early, map out each date with you and gather the rent rolls and income records well before anything is due. That way you know what the year will ask of you and roughly what it may save before you commit staff time to it.
What Holds True Across the Metro
- 01
County filing practice
For properties in this area, the DR-504AFH application goes to the county property appraiser, and the Florida Housing Finance Corporation certification has to line up with it. We prepare both so the numbers and unit counts match, which helps avoid questions later.
- 02
A yearly calendar
The exemption is not a one-time approval. Each year the certification and county application need fresh attention, so we set reminders with you months ahead instead of weeks.
- 03
Income limits and rents
Eligibility depends on residents' incomes compared with area median income and on rents staying within the published limits. Those limits are updated periodically, so we check current figures each cycle before your units are counted.
- 04
Older and newer buildings alike
The area has a mix of older garden-style complexes and newer mid-rise rentals. Either can qualify if the unit count and affordability rules are met, and we review your property's actual setup before telling you whether it fits.
- 05
Working remotely
Most of our conversations happen by phone or video, with documents shared in whatever way your office already uses. If you prefer to sit down in person, our office is available for that.
