For inspiration, you can check out sites like Slidebean, PitchDeckHunt, or Canva (I use this personally), which have sample pitch decks and templates tailored for different industries.

For me, it has been multifamily for these three, but I am also interested in self-storage and hotel conversion, maybe industrial flex in the future.

Hi all, Am excited to engage with the BP community after being in the industry for 9 years!

I haven't been expanding my business with LMHA since the end of 2016 per my posts above so I don't know exactly what changed, but I expect the outsourcing of inspections to private industry + some executive level leadership + replacement of staff with new faces excited to serve the needs of HUD/Landlords/Those In Need has resulted in an agency I will develop more business with.The HCVP will always be a double edged sword for landlords (See Section 8 Bible discussion) but for now I have discovered it is finally worth the effort to participate in the program.I specialize in Toledo's transition neighborhoods, discounted houses on the edge of nicer areas but also on the edge of trash...the Section 8 program allows me to get long-term tenants who are a good business model provided they are consistently managed and visited/inspected for additional "visitors" (relatives and random dogs/cats) and damage/housekeeping which can destroy a home if left unchecked.You need to know the rules, repair and renovate for long-term durability, prepare for inspections thoroughly and keep a team of contractors who will hold those standards...after 8 years we have been through a hundred inspections.

Maybe you like the service industry and want to run a short term rental on your own.
