College Student Interested in learning more

I am about to finish the first semester of my sophomore year of college at a big public university in a college town. I just finished reading the Richest Man in Babylon and I discovered this Bigger Pockets rabbit hole. I am the type of person that if I am passionate about something I will go all out. However, I suffer from analysis paralysis.

My current situation: I have more free time since all my classes are online now, and I would
like to channel it into something that is not a time waster like video
games. I have about 10k saved up and I started to save most of what I make: around 1000/month
from my job. I have kept good grades (4.0) with hopes of getting a decent entry level job. I am living in a shared apartment with a few friends. We are all looking for a house to move in for our junior / senior year. I was thinking of finding a house to buy and renting it out to them while I sleep on the couch. I have many friends that are looking for a place to live. I have about 7-8 months before I move out of here so I have until then to learn how to do it. I think that is a pretty reasonable goal I just need to not waste my time learning stuff that I don't need. I guess my question is: What would be most beneficial thing for me to focus on for me right now? What is the next book I should read? I was just wondering if anyone had any beginners advice specific to my situation.

Books next on my list: Investing in Real Estate with zero money down, The House Hacking Strategy.

Thank you,
Sorry if this isn't the correct forum, this is my first BP post.
