Common Questions

Can foreigners buy property in Beylikdüzü?+
Beylikdüzü is fully open to foreign nationals. Turkish law permits citizens of most countries to purchase freehold property here. Purchasing any property value qualifies you for Turkish residency (ikamet). Note: for ikamet specifically, a minimum $200,000 residential property (house or apartment only — not commercial or land) is required. You can add a second property later to reach the $400,000 citizenship threshold.
What is the typical rental yield in Beylikdüzü?+
Net yields in Beylikdüzü typically range from 5.5–7.5% depending on unit type, floor, and management. Furnished short-term rentals tend toward the higher end. Hermava can provide transaction-specific benchmarks for your shortlist.

Is Beylikdüzü suitable for Turkish citizenship investment?+
