Join a library. You do realise property investing involves a lot of reading of contracts, law, bank offers, market research? Even if you have to buy 100 books at $25 a pop, how much is that relative to a property? If you learn something that will mean you get a 2% discount off a $300k property, is that worth it? Or learn something that will allow you to save a couple hundred in bank charges and interest, is THAT worth it?
