I live off a hotspot since decent WiFi is at few and far between truck stops, and don't want to blow through my data!

If you are interested, I can email you data, you provide the necessary funds and we do a 50/50 split when its sold.

Many times, they just correct the data for the next assessment year (2016) and call it a day, but you can't be sure until you ask.
