Are there other (more affordable) sites that I can use to find out about market trends, city data etc.?

I have enough $$ to put down payments on one property per year (roughy) and max out my IRA contributions, so this will probably be the only property I can afford this year and still have enough cash reserves to be safe (we keep 5k per property and 6 months of our mortgage on hand as a lowest acceptable cash reserve baseline).

It sounds like you found an affordable property that already has one great tenant in place...trust yourself.  

Your TSP can double as cash reserves, and the freedom it provides you by ensuring your long-term retirement goals are achieved, means that you can afford to take more risky bets on other investments.

If I wanted to buy this property I wouldn't have any grounds for eviction and I would be stuck with these leases for another 9 months losing money every month which I could afford but I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Some buy a beach house that can't afford it.

I'd give her a break if you can afford it.

I got my start in real estate over ten years ago due to the simple fact that I made so much in stocks, I was able to afford the downpayment on several properties...some purchased with all cash, because I was sitting on so much in stock market gains right after the great recession.

I'm looking to buy and hold my 1st SFR in the summer when the situation blows over and tenants can afford rent.
