Use genuinely comparable units and adjust measurable differences before accepting a premium or discount.

How should “achievable rent and net yield” be converted into a verifiable return in Resale Value Istanbul?

Calculate yield from realistic rent after vacancy, aidat, tax and operating costs rather than from headline rent.

How can “vacancy and depth of real demand” be measured in practice for Resale Value Istanbul?

Use recent local letting evidence and realistic vacancy time to test whether demand supports the assumed rent.

Check the pipeline of competing units and delivery dates because new supply can change both pricing power and vacancy.

How should “aidat and recurring operating cost” be included in the real cost of Resale Value Istanbul?

Convert aidat and recurring charges into an annual holding cost and compare what services are actually included.

Estimate the realistic exit buyer pool, competing stock, marketing time and discount needed for a future resale.
