I'm trying to finalize my branding (i.e. company name, marketing message, etc.) and I'm torn on which brand direction to take.

I would give them a call and ask if they have this data available for the county you are looking in.

I know I still have a long way to go in my journey to become financially independent, but I finally believe I am on the right path.

So many people were complaining about system bugs, poor support, LOST DATA and more.  

Maybe find a college student to train how to collect the data for you.  

Most county assessors are now available on line and most are free (at least in KC), but you will spend  a tremendous amount of time trying to manipulate the data into usable information that will help you find good deals.  

I ask because there's two big steps involved - getting a tentative map and getting your final map.  

Now you have to go through the expense and trouble if finally dealing with them, which will probably cost you far more than a property manager would!

As you pointed out, you haven't yet discussed all of the expenses you would expect to encounter, so I expect your finally NOI to be even lower.

I figured it was finally time to jump in.
