Residential Land Investment in Turkey: Compares this property type by location, cost, liquidity, rental profile and legal and technical due diligence.
Verified facts and current context
Residential-land investing starts with planning status, not the advertisement. First verify the block, parcel and area through TKGM Parcel Query; then use e-Plan to inspect finalized plans, current zoning status and plan notes. An advertisement calling land \'residential\' is not enough to establish density, height, setbacks or the buildable floor area.
In the financial model, separate today\'s land value from the value of a possible future development and include infrastructure, site preparation, fees, time and planning-change risk. Commit only after the parcel identity matches the use and development rights on which the valuation depends.
