I've explored short term rental options in the palm springs area but not sure that I would want this to be my first experience in the real estate business although I do have good resources where I can hit the ground running (or so I believe).

I don't feel 30k may potentially be enough for me to cover all the rehab costs, so I am exploring ways to utilize business credit. 

We are looking into a potential short term rental on the North East side of town, trying to gather more data on type of visitors to the area?

If you still have some gain on a 250K single situation you can explore Opportunity Zone options since that is the only possible way I know of that you might be able to retroactively exclude gain. 

We pulled the county data and sifted it via excel. 

I'm seeking the data to evaluate potential cities to focus on.

Is there a platform out there that I can see my properties in a visual way and see how they are doing by the data I input?

As such they are not as focused necessarily on accuracy of data in particular when it comes to being up to date.

This breaks down to propstream for data (just pay once and pull a bunch of data), batchskiptracing for contact info, and Mojo for a dialer.

Both programs allow you to export all your data so that you can forward to your accountant.
