nice

try to save as much as you can.
earning 20K while studying full time is a good effort! so good work.
Im not a property veteran…

but you need to aim for 20% deposit – so around 60K for 300K house. – or if you find a good bank you may get away with 10%
once you finish studying you should be able to start out at 40K /year easy

if you need to park your money somewhere – then yes you could use a term deposit or high yeild online savings a/c.

I think Steve said it somewhere that chasing money for moneys sake is an empty goal.

However, i dont think being a property investor is all about money. Most people are too scared to venture outside of their 9-5 job security to actually see what else is available. Hence they may critise you as u had the guts to actually do something.
I personally would be happy to meet any property investor as i hope to one day become a successful property investor, and i know that i could learn alot from you.
