			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you just returned from a lovely vacation in <strong><a href="http://www.directoryeuro.com/" target="blank">Europe</a></strong>? Has this made you want to buy a home in Europe or maybe in <strong><a href="http://www.auspage.com/" target="blank">Australia</a></strong>? When a person wants to buy a property in a country outside theirs, it is referred to as international real estate. There might be various reasons why people are interested in picking up a space in a foreign land. They would have visited the place on work or holiday and would have fallen in love with the architecture or lifestyle. Or there is a possibility of changing jobs and having to move to that country in the near future. All this would mean that they would want to look into the real estate situation there and maybe buy a place. For some others, it is a form of investment, which could give them tax relief.</p>
<p>And if there is a company selling international real estate they should try and leverage on the tourists and corporates to build their business. If they were to touch upon people who have been frequently visiting a particular place or making enquiries about real estate rates, they should get into a discussion with them and offer their services. The real estate company should provide information pertaining to laws and rules laid down in the foreign country regarding outsiders buying property. There might be some countries that restrict ownership of land by non residents. The company must provide services to all those who are from places they deal with so they can convince them into buying a property.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.turkish-property-world.com/" title="Turkey Investment Property">Finding the right Investment Real Estate in Turkey</a></p>
<p>If you are considering buying a <a href="http://www.turkish-property-world.com/real-estate-for-sale-in-turkey.php" title="Real Estate in Turkey">Real Estate in Turkey</a> as an investment, now is the time to make your move! Since March 2007  <a href="http://www.turkish-property-world.com/mortgage-turkey-property.php" title="Turkish Mortgage">Turkish Mortgage</a> interest rates are low and Real Estate prices are rising steadily. In fact some buyers are now making their investment Real Estate purchase with turkish mortgage. At a time when Antalya’s airport has hosted 5 million tourists in 2005 an amazing 7 million in year 2006, a predicting for sharp increase in traffic to all the Turkish holiday resorts over the next few years is inevitable. Many people believe that the current rate of development will not be able to keep pace with the increased demand for private and holiday accommodation.</p>
<p>Completed <a href="http://www.turkish-property-world.com/turkish_real_estate.php" title="Turkish Real Estate">Turkish Real Estate</a> sales to foreigners went up by an amazing 59% in 2006, reaching to a total $1.8 billion! (near Spain and Portugal), which clearly shows that even without EU membership, purchasing a Real Estate is safe. Everyone in Turkey remains optimistic about Turkey&#8217;s eventual EU membership, but even before membership Turkey has already become a hotspot because of the ease in purchasing the Real Estate, constant price rises and low taxes.</p>
<p>88% of foreign-owned Real Estate is located in 10 cities, the top 5 being <a href="http://www.turkish-property-world.com/turkey-location-guide.php" title="Antalya, Turkey">Antalya</a> with 14,610 properties; Istanbul with a surprisingly low 10,695; Mugla (the location of Bodrum) with 8,251; Aydin (Didim, Akbuk and Altinkum) with 5,839, and Izmir with 4,572 foreign-owned properties.<br />
Facts and figures for Real Estate Investors</p>
<p>The result? House prices are set to rise still further so it’s a great time to invest. It’s impossible to predict exactly what return you’ll get from your investment but recent reports from various sources agree that it will be high. For example:</p>
<p>Ajans Press has recently reported that Real Estate prices along Turkey&#8217;s Mediterranean and Agean coasts rose by more than 25% in the last year alone.</p>
<p>Research by Turkey&#8217;s National Statistics Institute predicts that Turkey’s immigrant and population will rise to as much as 5.5 million by 2010, representing in the region of 13% of its population, compared to just 5% in 2001. The rising demand for Real Estate will continue to fuel the growth of the Real Estate market.</p>
<p>Turkey&#8217;s Ministry of Development has gone on record as saying that the average increase in Turkish house prices was 17.5 percent in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.<br />
What to Invest in Turkey</p>
<p>Before you decide on what you want to buy, take the time to do some research. Clearly, if you’re planning on earning an immediate income from your investment you should look for an existing Real Estate (commonly referred to as a resale Real Estate) in an area frequented by holiday makers. Take a look at the rental market, get a feel for how much you can rent your villa or apartment for. Don’t forget to factor in other costs such as maintenance and Real Estate management charges (someone will have to look after the Real Estate in your absence) and remember that Real Estate with pools that are close to the beach will yield higher rental incomes.</p>
<p>Buying a run down place for renovation has the advantage that you can improve the Real Estate in ways that will specifically attract holiday makers. It’s a good way of adding value to your Real Estate while converting your economical investment into a higher yield, and getting building work done in Turkey is a choice for all. As for most of the part, the high quality turkish craftsmanship will impress you.<br />
<a href="http://www.turkish-property-world.com/turkey_development_property.php" title="Turkey Off Plan Development Property">Turkey Off-Plan Investments and Buy-to-Sell Properties</a></p>
<p>Another popular option is to buy off-plan. This is where a developer decides to build a number of properties on a large plot and needs to sell them before they have been built to fund the development. The advantage here is that you can secure the Real Estate by paying a deposit and then a percentage (usually around 30%) of the purchase price.<br />
Benefits at a Glance</p>
<p>As the development progresses and the properties get nearer completion, their values rise because there is less urgency to sell them and prospective buyers can get a clearer idea of what the final product looks like.</p>
<p>If you sell your Real Estate before completion or sell brand new Real Estate within 5 years, as a foreigner you won’t have to pay any capital gains tax.</p>
<p>Properties that are sold off-plan are usually very competitively priced because the developer will want to maximize the amount of cash he has to fund the development. In other words, the more cash the developer has, the less he has to borrow and if he borrows less then he pays less interest to his bank.</p>
<p>You can choose a prime location within the development and you can often specify the furnishings and decor of the Real Estate, all of which helps you to get a better return on your investment.</p>
