Hi, everyone! I'm a longtime listener of the BiggerPockets podcast, and I intend to finally dive into buy-and-hold rental real estate investing this year. I'm a technology business owner by day, and my goal with real estate is to invest in longterm cash flowing assets with great tax benefits. While I'm open to investing remote, I prefer to get started in areas I'm familiar with.

So I just had a verbal off market deal in place with a real estate agent in the Smokies who owns a lot of his own cabins (this is not someone who is active here!). I saw the property today while I was in town, agreed on terms (everything including days to close and earnest money), and he had me text him all my personal info so we could work up a contract and sign within the hour.

Now that I have Airbnb and VRBO traction on multiple vacation properties I would like to explore creating a direct booking website for family, friends, and repeat guests to book without all the platform fees. What are recommendations on website service that allows for (1) multiple properties (2) running transactions (3) synced calendars?
