The House TruthFrequently Asked Questions
Plain answers about The House Truth.
What is single-family rental operations consulting?
Practical, transferable systems for single-family rental groups, built so your field managers own them: rehab and renovation scopes, acquisition rehab budgets, contractor scorecards, and field training and coaching.
Who is The House Truth for?
Investor groups building portfolios of up to 350 homes, and owners and operators who want an outside check on a turn or rehab scope before money goes out.
Who is behind The House Truth?
Ben Vinson, a single-family rental construction consultant with over 20 years in construction operations, based in Fayette, AL.
What is the One-House Review?
A remote desk review of one single-family rental for $375. You send the files you already have: the report, photos, scope, budget and contractor bids. You get written findings on what to fix, what to price and what to cut.
Does the One-House Review include a site visit?
No. There is no site visit. I review only what you send, so the findings are only as good as the files. After checkout, send your files to consulting@thehousetruth.com.
What is the white paper about?
One Package at a Time covers field systems for single-family rental intake and execution under the 350-home constraint: walk path, rehab standards, contractor scorecards, cycle-time tracking and turn process. A second paper, Closing the Operational Gap, is a classroom set list for rehab and turn systems in institutional SFR and multifamily operations. Both are free.
What is the renter deposit counter?
Renters Lose Deposits Every Second is a live counter of security deposit money withheld from US renters: about $1.7B a year (estimate).
Is there a podcast?
Yes. The House Truth podcast shares real field lessons on scopes, crews and renovations, with a new episode every week. Watch the podcast on YouTube or listen on Spotify.
What is the free weekly field training?
One lesson every Wednesday for supers, construction managers, and renovation and rehab leads, readable in 10 minutes. It covers scope, QC, scheduling and contractor management. Free. Always.
