Why should you invest in Istanbul real estate?
Aside from its bright sun, landscaped beaches, unique attractions, and high level of service, Istanbul also attracts investors because of the opportunity to purchase real estate and make profitable investments. Each year, Turkey’s real estate market experiences a huge breakthrough since the market offers investors 150 percent returns. Besides, the prices of properties in Istanbul are drastically attractive, while there are extensive choices of luxury villas with sea views to high quality apartments, and gives investors added advantage over buyers in other European countries such as Spain, where property prices have already skyrocketed. To encourage investment in the real estate market, the government has also taken some steps to simplify the process. Last but not least, one of the most significant benefits of buying a property in Turkey is that you receive a Turkish passport as well. Thus, Turkey is a popular choice for foreigners seeking a second nationality.
