1. real estate market research 

The Turkish real estate market is a vast and multifunctional area of investment.

Researching the real estate market in Turkey should begin with understanding the legal framework for investment and the procedures for buying and selling real estate in the country. 

This includes learning about the laws governing real estate transactions and familiarizing yourself with property procedures.

When researching different types of real estate in Turkey, such as apartments, villas, duplexes, and townhouses, investors should consider the specific characteristics of each type and their appeal to potential buyers or tenants. 

For example, apartments in the city center may be more sought after for short-term rentals by tourists, while beachfront villas may attract investors looking for long-term vacation or rental investments.

When deciding on their investment strategies in the Turkish real estate market, investors should also consider factors that may affect the value of real estate in the future.

2. Budget and investment strategy 

Having studied the Turkish real estate market, investors should start to develop an investment strategy of budgeting and duration of profit taking.

When determining a budget it is important to consider not only the value of the property itself, but also all the costs associated with it. This includes taxes, maintenance costs and other possible expenses.

It is also important to consider the financial capacity to manage the investment in the long or short term. 

3. Identifying the best city in Turkey for real estate investment 

Before deciding to buy real estate, you need to decide on the region. 

The choice of location depends on your investment goals and budget. Some people prefer quiet green areas away from tourist spots, others are looking for apartments for rent in the city center or near the beach.

In Turkey, the most promising properties are located in major cities and popular resorts. 

Most foreign investors most often choose apartments in resort towns such as Antalya, where new residential complexes are actively being built. The purchase of real estate here is always in demand and brings good income to the owner.

4. Determining the most suitable neighborhood in the city 

To assess the investment attractiveness of the object, you need to pay attention to its location and features. 

The most popular place is always the city center. It usually attracts a large number of tourists, which creates a high demand for rental properties and can provide a stable income for the owners.

In addition, it is important to consider the remoteness of the object from beaches, stores, airport, medical and educational institutions, as this directly affects the level of comfort of living, the price of real estate and makes the area more attractive to potential residents or tenants.

Transport accessibility, good environmental conditions and a high level of safety also play an important role when choosing an area to live or invest in.

Developed infrastructure, proximity to the beach, fully ready for living apartments - the main factors for preserving and multiplying the capital after the purchase.  

5. Internal infrastructure, area and layout

It is important to assess the condition of the building, to make sure it is safe and secure. This includes checking the quality of materials used in construction and engineering systems.

Attention should also be paid to the seismic stability of the building, especially in regions with high seismic activity. 

Sound and waterproofing are also important. Good soundproofing ensures comfortable living, especially in urban environments. Waterproofing, in turn, protects against moisture and water, preventing possible leakage problems.

Residential complexes in Turkey usually offer a variety of sizes and layouts, ranging from studios and studio apartments to multi-room apartments and penthouses. Therefore, it is possible to choose apartments depending on the number of family members and preferences in space allocation.

In addition, it is important to consider factors such as the distribution of rooms within the apartment, the presence of a balcony or terrace, and the view from the windows. 

A convenient and functional layout will help maximize the use of space and create a comfortable environment for you and your family.
