Many well-off international property buyers wishing to profit from their real estate investment and get citizenship by investment in Turkey have eyes for Istanbul properties. If that’s your case, you should pay heed to the worthy and highly comfortable Alize Kapadokya residences in a high-riser being built close to the new Istanbul financial center.
The causes and consequences of the 2008 financial crisis lie in real estate issues. Granting risk mortgages to borrowers is typical of western financial institutions. The economic bubble has successfully burst, draining the starch out of money management organizations and destroying ordinary people’s savings.
The world economy rebounded, but by far not all investors and state institutions managed to learn their lesson. A number of countries still grant high-risk mortgages to borrowers, and a new bubble may appear on the real estate market.
Turkey does not belong to the said states. The country’s government effectively manages its banking sector and prevents any crisis from forming. The local real estate market successfully raises capital, and foreign investors are flocking to the country. The citizenship by investment program implemented by the government of Turkey further strengthens this trend.
Out of all Turkish cities, Istanbul enjoys the highest popularity with foreign real estate investors. It boasts a unique combination of ancient traditions and modern consumer opportunities. The Istanbul International Finance Center or IIFC under construction now will accelerate the local financial sector development and further increase the city’s investment appeal.
The International Wealth readers and subscribers enjoy a unique opportunity to purchase properties in the Istanbul Alize Kapadokya high-riser close to IIFC and get their second citizenship and a second passport in Turkey. The asset’s unique location guarantees that your Istanbul real estate will steadily go up in value and earn you a high rental income.
