Investment strategies
Investing in foreign real estate isn’t one-size-fits-all. Depending on your goals, you can choose a model that focuses on stable passive income, quick resale, or long-term capital growth.
Here are the most popular strategies used by private investors around the world:
  • Buy-to-Sell (Capital Growth)
    This is a classic speculative model. The idea is to buy early — typically during the pre-construction or presale stage — and sell once the project is completed or the market rises.
    Best suited for those who:
    – are ready to wait 1–3 years
    – want to lock in profit upon resale
    – don’t plan to rent the property
    Example:
    Buy at construction stage in Turkey for $80,000 → Sell after completion for $120,000 → $40,000 gross profit
  • Buy-to-Let (Rental Income)
    A long-term strategy focused on passive cash flow. You purchase the property and rent it out — either short-term or long-term — while maintaining ownership.
    Key benefits:
    – 5–10% annual rental yield
    – Stable recurring income
    – Can be fully managed by a local agency
    Ideal for tourist areas, resort towns, or student hubs.
  • Fix-and-flip (Renovation profits)
    An active-income strategy: purchase older or undervalued properties, renovate, and sell at a higher price.
    This model requires:
    – understanding of the local market
    – renovation management
    – hands-on involvement
    Popular in countries with outdated housing stock (e.g. Bulgaria, Spain, Serbia).
  • Pre-construction handover
    You buy a unit just before completion and resell it immediately after handover — when demand peaks.
    Advantages:
    – Up to 15% growth within 2–6 months
    – No need to handle furnishing or rental setup
    – Quick exit strategy
    Works best in high-demand markets like the UAE or Thailand.
  • Distressed asset bargains
    Buying properties at below-market prices due to:
    – urgent seller needs
    – foreclosure, bankruptcy, or bank-owned status

    This can give you a 15–40% discount, but it also requires:
    – market experience
    – a trustworthy broker
    – awareness of potential legal risks
  • How to choose the right strategy?
    Ask yourself:
    – Do you want fast profit or stable income?
    – Are you open to being actively involved, or prefer a hands-off model?
    – What’s your investment horizon and risk tolerance?
