Sounds like it has potential for this application, but even as an experienced user, I'd be looking for a book or tutorial on an effective way to set this up.

@Dan Kim - There is guy that does education/tutorials on developing business credit.

If you search YouTube for DataTree tutorials, you can find some videos I've made that explain how it works with regard to pulling lists and doing research on vacant land.PropStream can work well, too (and it could actually be cheaper in some respects, depending on how many leads you need to pull each month), but similar to a lot of data services, it seems to have been designed more with house investors in mind, which make sense... there are a lot more house investors out there.

If anyone knows of any tutorials on the info I actually need on the platform that'd be much appreciated.

There are tutorials on youtube or you can go to a site like fiverr com and get someone to build it for you at 40 dollars and up. 

Is there a tutorial on how to search effectively?  

I'll repeat the obvious too----Take a video, there are lots of apps and hacks and tutorials on how this can be done.
