P&I v IO Loans for 1st Property (Attn: Les)

Les,
You posted an article on 10/3/99 "re: Buying to Live In Or Buying To Rent Out". I'm very interested in your philosophy here. It appears that your son may have used this method (based on another article that you wrote).
I am 26, currently living at home, but want to move out in the next few months. I have about $30,000 saved up and have found a place in the outer West of Sydney for around $170,000.
I am thinking about purchasing this as an IP and renting elsewhere with some friends.
You talk about IO loans, which leave greater cash flow for other IPs. However if I haven't built up any equity in the first property, I doubt that the bank will lend the entire amount for a second property, hence they will require a cash deposit. Therefore, would I be better off taking out a P&I loan and paying this off as quickly as possible to quickly build equity. Jan's books say that you should pay off your first home as quickly as possible.
I'd love to here from anyone else who may have some ideas, as well.
Thanks, Glenn
