Investment Overview

İzmit is the capital of Kocaeli province and one of Turkey's most important industrial cities, located 100km east of Istanbul on the TEM motorway. The city hosts major automotive manufacturing facilities including Ford Otosan and Hyundai, creating substantial and stable employment-driven rental demand. Kocaeli University adds a significant student population to the rental market. Gross rental yields average 6.8% with very low vacancy rates due to the industrial employment base. Properties are priced at a significant discount to Istanbul while offering comparable or better yields — making İzmit one of Turkey's most compelling value investment markets.
