What I've learned in Pennsylvania:
Property taxes and school taxes vary from none on both counts to wildly expensive. It depends on the state and municipality where the property is located. Property taxes are paid to the municipality, School taxes to the school district.
(I think) you pay income taxes on there money where you earn it. This includes (again) local and school taxes. You should only have to pay income on whatever monies you earn in the states, from renting, not on your personal income in Australia. There will be federal income taxes, (possibly) state income taxes and (again possibly) school income taxes.
Something else you should be aware of, if you intend to rent as home, it can be really difficult evict someone. It can require multiple court dates, multiple served notices and it still can't be done in certain situations (with children, in the winter for instance).
