Particularly for your first few properties, I'd highly recommend that you manage the property yourself (if possible), but that's usually only possible (or most effective) if you live near the property or visit it frequently.

It seems to me that they all whether paid of free, will all have the same exact amount of houses because all the transactions are all public and so they seem to compete with each other based on the quality of the data of the houses, how up to date it is, and the user experience in configuring the how the layout is.

When doing a cash out refinance, it's important to consider seasoning periods of the waiting period you have to have between when the old transaction closed on the hard money loan to the new cash out transaction closing.

Most STR markets have seasonality, and there are untold issues in the future that will effect cashflow. 

I feel like in today’s day in age there are so many tools for STR operations and I cannot believe there is no integration for a merchant of sale transaction or some kind of financial app/ software that can take the remitted taxes and pay them to the government automatically.

I am also open to partnering on a transaction.
