Mersin is a cosmopolitan city especially known for its fertile land, International Port and its cuisine. Tantuni is a beef dish served in a wrapped flatbread and Salgam is the drink that comes with it. Cezerye is a type of dessert made from carrot paste, and Kerebic is a walnut or pistachio cookie which comes with a special cream made with egg yolks. Kizkalesi is a known landmark of Mersin however there is actually much more to Mersin than what meets the eye.
Nowadays, for solid high returns in Mersin, buying 1+1 units and renting them out fully furnished will get you the best returns. This allows short term rentals and if you pick a fully facilitated compound on the sea or an apartment in a popular destination like Tece or Kizkalesi, you could generate a minimum of 6.50% and a very likely 8% NET rental income after the agency fees are paid!
Mersin is rapidly growing, and each day new land is required for new developments. You could invest in land, a) to sell on with a profit after a while, b) to give it to a developer for 40 to 50% of the sellable units of the project which can be built on your land, c) you can have us build your villa, or a project which you would like to make your profits from selling the units with our agencies resources. In any case, land is the best investment for capital appreciation.
The right price is key both while you are buying and of course if you would like to sell your property to the open market, we will value your property fairly and market it by all means possible to get you the best deal within acceptable time. Mersin is one of Turkey’s most popular cities, so the flow towards here will not stop. You will always have a market for your property and Mersin’s investors are highly likely to exit with a profit as the supply is always balanced with the demand.
