Welcome to BiggerPockets, joining this website is already a huge advantage you will have over the competition.

For any type of crime data, you can check the local police department's websites.

I was planning on reach out to Xavier's student housing to get put on their website but I like your idea better. 

I'm not sure what the regulations are for how many mobile homes I can put on that property for the size and traditional websites have no data for the rental market in that area for me to gauge the market for myself.  

Then hit the internet websites and see if there are any recent sales to estimate current market value.

There is tons of information on this website and the podcasts are very informative especially.

Is there a website where I can DL these docs?

Two of the three had returned email addresses, all three had dead websites and on the meetup sites, no activity for a couple of years.With no REIA in my area, what should I do next to try to learn from others in my local area?
