I'm with @Jeff L. it would be awesome to put together some kind of meet up with everyone.

@Arianne L., it doesn't look like you mentioned the location/area in your original post. 

Thanks, @Rob L. - it's quite a project.  

Then with just a couple of k, I might not even buy a book..I have blog on the classics of landlord lit, and they are old and in the library (free) and a bigger pockets blog (by Carson) is up now and has a nice list for beginner investors and those may all be in the library, too, or at least the older editions...that should keep your mind active a few months....then for the future months, just keep learning and saving up for the first property to buy and hold or flip, etc, whatever your chosen strategy...Best of luck
