Whether the investor is looking to invest in buy to let property or to buy something they can improve to sell on and make a profit, there are still opportunities available in the market.
There is no doubt that in a world of low interest rates the attraction of an income from buy to let property still looks attractive.
And with the property market performing strongly means more investors are being encouraged to buy property in the hope that its value will rise.
It also helps that mortgage rates are still at record lows which also encourages property investors to part with their money since the figures still stack up.
However, all investors should appreciate that low interest rates will rise and they need to understand that their investment will stand that important test.
Properties for sale in Manchester
The first tip is to research the buy to let market thoroughly to ensure the properties for sale in Manchester are where there is strong demand from tenants.
This also means that potential landlords appreciate the risks and not just the benefits of owning a buy to let property.
As with buy to let, property investors should be looking at popular areas and those that have promise which will offer cheaper properties but, for a variety of reasons, the prices look set to rise.
Again, the trick is to find a property an investor can afford in a location where people want to live or rent in.

Essentially, they should be buying the kind of property someone else wants to rent or buy and this could mean investing in studio flats for rent in Wythenshawe, for instance.
In addition to looking at potential areas for investment, investors should really sit down with a pen and paper to see what they can afford to buy and, if they are wanting to be a landlord, work out the rent they can get which will make it financially viable.
There are still good opportunities for buy to let mortgages and potential landlords should shop around for the best deal and also think about the target tenant who will be living in the investment property.
Finally, the best tip for property investment is not to be overambitious and for landlords it is to go for rental yield rather than short term capital growth in house prices.
Property investors looking for investment properties Manchester also need to appreciate there are lots of areas that are worth investing in, particularly student areas, though the city's population is growing as employment opportunities rise as well.
