The Property Machine Behind the Portfolio: Inside Genstone Field Services with Deanna Alfredo

What happens after the deal closes? For real estate investors managing SFR portfolios at scale, the real work begins the moment you own the asset — and that’s exactly where today’s guest has built her career.
Scott Ward sits down with Deanna Alfredo, Senior Vice President of SFR Services at Genstone Field Services, to pull back the curtain on one of the real estate industry’s most essential — and often overlooked — sectors: property field services.
Formerly known as ZVN Properties, Genstone Field Services was founded in 2004 and is a nationally recognized, minority-owned firm that has grown into a powerhouse of end-to-end property solutions. Named #593 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies — #19 in Real Estate and #17 in Ohio — Genstone delivers property preservation, inspections, single-family rental maintenance, and turns management nationwide.

Deanna brings over two decades of experience in property management, maintenance, and preservation. At Genstone, she leads the national SFR Services division, overseeing operations, tenant-occupied maintenance, and turn processes across the United States. Before stepping into her SVP role, she founded and operated Property Maintenance, Inc., a Michigan-based full-service property preservation company, and served as President of the National Association of Mortgage Field Services.

Whether you’re a private lender, SFR operator, or real estate investor managing a growing portfolio, this conversation will change how you think about asset protection and operational excellence.

As spreads, borrower profiles, and exit conditions evolve, fund managers are rethinking their product mix.

This Fund Forum session explores how experienced lenders are adjusting exposure across asset classes, loan types, and terms. Speakers will discuss why they’re increasing or reducing allocations to certain segments, how they’re pricing risk, and where they see structural demand from borrowers.

Expect conversation around yield vs. volatility, construction exposure, bridge strategies, and niche opportunities. The goal is not predictions — it’s understanding the reasoning behind portfolio shifts happening right now.

Most investors underestimate the power of local.

Not just the local market — the local relationships. The county commissioners. The chamber directors. The community leaders who know where things are going before the headlines catch up.
In our latest podcast episode, we sat down with Peggy Choudhry — businesswoman and Osceola County Commissioner — to talk about what real community engagement looks like and why it’s one of the most strategic moves a real estate professional can make.

This one’s different. No market analysis. No loan metrics. Just an honest conversation about the relationships that quietly shape business outcomes.
