    That's a hard one as you don't give much information about income, education.  My advice is to get as much education as you can, not the formal stuff at unis and TAFE but by following those who have been successful (eg Steve McKnight, Margaret Lomas, Michael Yardney, Reno Kings, Jan Somers, John Fitzgerald).  There are heaps of books around so just either go to your library or to a bookshop in your local shopping centre. Find a mentor who is willing to show the ropes – that person will prove invaluable

    Unless you have a reasonable level of income, you'll find it very difficult getting a loan.

    Realistically you will need 5% minimum deposit saved over a 3-6 month period plus acqusition costs and LMI.

    Depending on your Credit score that may increase to 90% so regretfully i think i would read and save at the same time.

    10% of $300,000 is $30K and that would be a minimum.
