DesireeI have seen this same exact thing in Memphis TN in properties located near the University of Memphis so my personal opinion is to stay away unless you can still buy the property where the numbers make sense.

if you have an LLC and both properties are under it, you just need 1 operating account.If both are under your personal, 1 bank account specifically for the rental is enough for operating.Security Deposits should always be a separate account altogether.

For my personal education, which one insurance should I have?

I would guess that you have little or no experience running any kind of STR, and now want to get that experience on the back of someone else's investment, with little or no personal skin in the game, and that's not a good way to build an investment portfolio.
