About Peter, Elwood, VIC
Peter and Katy have a 1 bedroom investment property in Elwood. They engaged Ready Set Host as they had decided to move to Tasmania, and their tenant has just moved out.
This was perfect timing as Katy was still employed in Melbourne and needed to have frequent use of their investment property, while also earning revenue from the property when she wasn't using it.
Peter and Kay engaged Ready Set Host as they didn't have the experience, time or resources necessary to manage their property for short stays residing in Tasmania.
Why Ready Set Host

The Challenge
Katy was using many week days leaving many gaps throughout the year, but Peter also wanted to bring in the best revenue possible for the investment property.
