Investment learnings

Thoroughly recommend Steve McKNight's book: "From 0-130 properties in 3.5 years" for philosophy of positive gearing.
Thoroughly recommend Michael Yardneys book "How to grow a multi-million dollar property portfolio"- for philosophy of buying for capital gain.
recommend "20 must ask questions for property investors" by Margaret Lomas for what to actually look for in a property and how to select area etc.
Magazines are good too, for real life questions and current state of the states:  Your Investment Property" or Australian Property Investor" magazines at most newsagents for about $10 an issue.  Worth getting at least 1 issue.

And read read read and ask ask ask on this forum.  There are a lot of very successful, very knowledgable, very sensible people who assist and advise for nothing, on a regular basis.

Some great books have been recommended you asked about DVDs

I recently bought one – very good – great for basics that you asked for – but much more than that 4-hours of great contant from Michael Yardney – I think it’s worth buying – Building Wealth through Property Investment http://www.propertyupdate.com.au/dvd—building-wealth-through-property-investment.html

Hope this helps

If you can get your hands on the Masterclass stuff from Steve McKnight that is very good.

Maybe think about joining the iclub, they have updates and a lot of the information Steve has put together previously is available in this.

API is a good read every month.
