About Peter, Elwood, VIC

Peter and Katy had a one-bedroom investment property in Elwood. They engaged Ready Set Host after deciding to move to Tasmania while still needing frequent access to the Melbourne property.

This was the ideal short-stay use case: the owners wanted to use the property when required and earn revenue when it was available.

Why Ready Set Host

Ready Set Host specialises in Melbourne short-stay management. We analyse the market, develop a custom strategy and manage the operational details so owners can earn more without doing everything themselves.

The challenge

Katy needed the property on many weekdays, which created gaps throughout the year. The strategy needed to work around owner usage while still bringing in the best possible revenue.

Execution and delivery

We developed a custom strategy that allowed the property to book as many available dates as possible while preserving owner access when needed.

Results

  • The owner used the property over multiple stays during the period.
  • The property was booked by guests around unavailable owner dates.
  • The property achieved a stronger weekly return than estimated long-term rent.
  • The owners could use the property and earn income at the same time.
