Institutional Capital & Decision-Ready Pitch Advisor. Helping founders, funds, and operators structure pitches that survive institutional evaluation.

Ever walked into a rooming house and thought, “I could make this place a goldmine”? But then, when you try to get others on board, all you hear are crickets. Don’t worry; it’s not your dream that’s the problem—it’s how you’re pitching it.

I get it. Pitching a rooming house investment can feel like trying to sell a bucket of sand in the desert—plenty of people want it, but you’ve got to convince them yours is the best. And that’s where I come in.

I’m Viktor, a pitch deck consultant and a creative business strategist. Over the past 13 years, I’ve helped businesses secure millions of $ in funding thanks to my approach and I’m sharing it here in this pitch deck guide.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to create a rooming house pitch deck that doesn’t just get noticed but gets funded.

12 Slide Rooming House Pitch Deck Template

Slide 1: Title & Elevator Pitch

Title: Welcome to [Project Name]
Tagline: Affordable. Community-Driven. London-Proof.
Visuals: Victorian terrace converted into vibrant modern interiors (before/after)

Pitch Copy:

“We’re transforming underutilised London homes into high-yield co-living spaces tailored for the urban workforce—solving the affordability crisis without compromising quality.”

Positioning Line:

“Think co-living without the fluff—designed for long-term renters, built for long-term returns.”

Slide 2: Investor Highlights

Slide Title: Why This Works in London
Content Highlights (with UK metrics):

  • 35% of London renters spend more than half their income on rent
  • Demand: 3 renters for every available unit in Zone 2–4
  • Cost per room ~£45K (vs avg unit £275K)
  • Projected Yield: 10–12% cash-on-cash / 16–18% IRR
  • High stability via multi-tenant occupancy and fixed costs

Tagline:

“Serving the ‘missing middle’—those priced out of studio flats but too stable for HMO chaos.”

Slide 3: Market Opportunity

Slide Title: A Systemic London Housing Gap
Visuals: Bar graph showing rent inflation vs wage stagnation, 2010–2025

Narrative:

“The average London renter now earns ~£36K but pays over £1,500/month for a 1-bed. The private rental market is broken—and HMOs are failing to bridge the gap.”

Key stats:

  • Rent growth: +47% in 8 years
  • Net supply of affordable rentals: down 29%
  • Rise in professionals opting for house shares: +19% YoY
  • City & boroughs under pressure to meet housing targets

  • Regulatory pressure on short-lets
  • Exposure to tenant churn & arrears

Cities:

  • Fortnightly cleaning, utilities, broadband included
  • Gross monthly income: £3,000–£4,500 per unit
  • Rents priced 20–30% below studios, but 40–60% above standard BTL yields

Tagline:

“A better deal for renters. A safer bet for investors.”

Slide 6: Benefits to Stakeholders
