Furnished Finder is great but I would make sure you are creating an integrated calender amongst newer sites that you add on.

Looks like a pretty straightforward site with comprehensive background check

This site list Texas as the 7th highest property net taxeshttps://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/property-taxes-by-s... 

No, bececause every site is so different. 

We find pricing today is way lower than what the site say.

Only advice I can suggest is to continue to market future and guests to other channels such as a direct booking site, or the other housing platforms.In the beginnning, Airbnb and VRBO were just about the only place we got bookings, but now we get some from direct, booking.com, and a couple of other sites.Hope that helps.Mike

For example, should I have one checking account that manages all expenses, such as down payments for properties and serving as the main source for rehab budgets?

Many sites do syndicate MLS data, but it's much more robust for active listings and a large fail for closed statistics.

Welcome to the site!

That can take some time, a few phone calls, a site visit, etc but I find it can avoid problems down the road.Good luck,Steve
