Personally I reckon Jan Somers' books are a better read than Kiyosaki (Rich Dad Poor Dad). They ought to have enough figures in them to satisfy you, Kyle.
I highly recommend the Somersoft forums if you want to talk property with other Aussies.
I am a big fan of property investing. Bought PPOR (principal place of residence) about 1 year ago and currently negotiating to buy 2 investment properties in Sydney. Both of these will be cashflow neutral, about 10% undervalued. The incoming rent covers the interest only repayments and other expenses like council rates, strata, landlord insurance etc etc (Trust me I've done a huge spreadsheet to account for all these).
In short, interest only repayments will remain roughly constant over the next 10-20 years but rents can only go up. Value of the property will also increase too (should average at least 5% pa which is greater than inflation 2-3% pa) Win-win situation all round.
