Any Manchester locals here? Looking to buy a property there. Would appreciate some advice on the areas to but in. Looking at the usual suspects- Didsbury, Altrnicham are of interest but supply is definitely dry. 🙁

*buy in.

If you've got a decent fund, Didsbury/Chorlton/Altrincham/Hale/Wilmslow (all South). Better value and up and coming areas are Salford/Worsely/Sale/Cheadle.

Looking up to £450k for a 3+bed property.

Anywhere in South Manchester will come at a premium. Hot areas of good property growth are in Eccles / Trafford region and you can't go wrong north side Prestwich, Bury or even Ramsbottom /Summerseat if you want to be somewhere greener.

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own. CoinList ensures their ICO is only open to certified Wall Street investors and makes sure FileCoin's ICO is treated as a normal IPO.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.

Hello,
London is a world class metropolitan city and so is the cost of livi.
But then why don't MAANG or other big techs pay as high for software managers and other leadership roles as they do in the USA, particularly California, Washington, New York. In fact for the same role, $ salaries are at least 3X higher to their counterparts roles here in London.
Definitely, London isn't 3X cheaper them.
Is it that companies don't want that high here or there isn't enough competition or something else?
