    Hi,
    I'm a full time student that if I continute working at the same rate each week, I'd be earning about 20-25K a year which isn't a lot but it's something. I was wondering if there are any veterans out there of property investment that could give me some advice on how to increase my income. I was thinking of putting into a term deposit account for about a few years. The problem is that I'm not sure how much money I should have to invest in a property (I'm thinking of apartment at this stage.) For instance, do I wait until I have 100K before I buy a property and what kind of mortgage should I take out? Also, what kind of term deposits is best?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    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.
