Presentation advice and help needed for hotel sale
I have taken on the sale of a Boutique hotel and need to make a presentation. I can make my way around it and have a template to work off, but any tips on design and content? Newbie errors I can avoid?

Depending on the style of presentation, I would focus on making sure you don't have too much unused space within your slides. These types of spaces can be easily fixed by adding simple shape elements to your presentations or by making text bigger. Just play around with it and even show it around to a few people to get advice", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "illr4ki", "text": "My advice would be to keep things as basic and actual as you can. Get the historical ADR/Occ/RevPAR/Margins correct. Don't fall in to the trap of attempting to provide a pro forma in the OM. Seasoned buyers will ignore it, and it may cause unsophisticated buyers to get anchored to specific cash flow assumptions.\n\nBoutique hotel? Give an overview of the site's square footage and acreage - some of you buyers will be honing in on adaptive re-use, given it's unencumbered by a franchise agreement.\n\nDon't get too deep in to the mechanicals of the asset. That's the buyer's job.\n\nIs it in a major market? Provide market color. Tourism market? Provide walkable tourist attractions.\n\nProvide a brief summary of sales comps. No prose or explanations behind them, just point people towards other trades that you feel support the seller's ask.\n\nDesign wise, light background. It prints better and provides good contrast for text/images.\n\nFeel free to PM me with anything else. I buy hotel product across the country, so would love a look at the opportunity.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "illrc7p", "text": "Summarize each slide in the title. Keep details to a minimum on each individual slide. Have an appendix section with more detail fleshed out so you can refer to them when asked about it. If you can, hyperlink the detailed page in the corner of each slide so you can click to it quickly. Likewise have a hyperlink on the detail page to take you back to the original slide it's mean to support. \n\nThe summarizing of each title is meant to communicate the big take away from that slide. Don't try to say more than one message per slide.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "illzs1k", "text": "Pay me to write your OM cause I\u2019m bored", "replies": [{"id": "iph9hkh", "text": "Can I PM you?", "replies": [{"id": "iphdqfa", "text": "Yep", "replies": [], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "ilm7ffc", "text": "Rosebud motel pitch seemed to go well\u2026", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "ilqzkcu", "text": "The Firm I work for represents Buyers and our Principals own over 50 hotels across the country.
