Since you are so young, work on building up your w-2 income. Or make sure that someone in your family who is interested in real estate has a stable w-2 income. This will make you financeable. Then with that $5000 you can buy a rental property and rent it out and make some cash flow. From there collect your rents and use that money as well as money from working at a job save as much as you can to buy more and more. 

This would be interesting. I haven't heard of any like this. 

Househacking in CA is hard to come by and its better to just rent out a place here and then buy a rental property out out of state. You'll get more bang for your buck and with the same amount of cash you can cover your rent and make some extra cash. 

Do you have the property under contract?

Use Zillow, Trulia, and City-Data

You're right, these people are everywhere and only a few of them are helpful, but all of them just want your $. 

What kind of property is it? A buy and hold?

I would be using Zillow, Trulia, Redfin. Anything that you can get your hands on. Create your searches and let the deals roll in.

Have you thought about just testing the market by building one and seeing how it rents out and testing the market? I've thought about this as a long term play as well. You'll have to have things for these people to do or make it fun in some way which would make them drive all the way to your property. 

Why don't you just use Trulia for the crime data, then you can use city-data.com for all those other items and save yourself some $.
