FAQ
Georgia or Turkey — common questions
Where is rental yield higher — Georgia or Turkey?
Yield range for Georgia: 7-12% gross, short-term up to 12-15%; Turkey: 5-9% gross, short-term up to 8-12%. By the upper bound it is higher in Georgia. High yield is usually tied to resort short-term rentals and greater seasonality.
What about ownership rights for foreigners?
Georgia: FREEHOLD 100% — no restrictions for foreigners. Turkey: FREEHOLD + citizenship by investment of $400K in 3-6 months. This is the key fork — freehold is more secure than leasehold but is not available everywhere and is often limited by zones or property type.

Georgia — residency available from $150,000 (from March 2026). Turkey — residency available from $400 000 (for citizenship) / $200 000 (for residence permit). If the goal of the deal is resident status, this is the decisive factor.
