Finding a good networking group can help with the education process, we have an excellent one in Brisbane that meets once per month where real investors are sharing the deals they are doing in the current market place. Important to make sure that the group is actually focused around education and networking as opposed to selling you property as most don't qualify judged on that criteria.
@ Yoly – I don't think Freckle's post was to insult. I actually agree with his post. Do plenty of research before jumping in.

Remember just because people mention now is not the right time to buy anywhere, and also Melbourne is not being listed as a great place to buy at the moment, it doesn't mean that there aren't bargains out there. As JacM mentioned, API magazine is really good for finding areas that are good for buying in, it is also good for keeping track of your chosen suburbs which you are focusing on (that's what i use it for). This month's article contains a good write up on Melbourne and its current situation. Worth a read. That's where i would start. I could also recommend hitting the books, you would be surprised how well many property investing books are written these days and you can learn a lot from them, the things you don't understand come here and ask someone who knows more than you, they will more than happily explain and i'm sure many others will benefit from it. I would be taking my time right now in regards to where/what to buy. That's what i am currently doing. No point rushing in and purchasing the wrong thing at the wrong time, there's a good chance it will end badly and then you will regret it. Timing and Due Diligence plays a huge part in this game from my SMALL amount of experience so far, good luck.
Hi JacM,
Thank you for pointing out that my wording is not clear enough.
What I meant by saying ''Get on property leather'' is to start invest in properties.
Hope it helps to understand my post better now.
All the best.
I think you mean property ladder ?
