Did you map your child listing to the parent listing in PriceLabs? You'll want to do that for billing, especially. Then there is a setting that says to copy everything from the parent to the child. (Aside: You can make adjustments on the child or parent as a pricing offset if you like as well.) PriceLabs should have some good help articles as well once you are in your account. Love having my prices syncing and dynamic with PriceLab's service!

We really do not know what these Houfy guys are doing, but this is just fantastic! We're starting to understand what they mean with a "market-network".

Although my wife Elizabeth and I are fairly new to Houfy, we are neither new to property ownership, management or technology. My wife initially created Houfy listings for each of our properties and when I saw that she had completed it, including photos, synchronized calendars and reviews without asking me for assistance I wondered, "what is this remarkable solution that turned my wife into a technology guru?"

We are still connecting the dots.. and it will be work in progress..: Maps.Houfy.com

We are in the process of creating a system for members to create their own maps. The system will work quite similar as to Google maps.
