Buy To Let Investment In Northern Cyprus
Tim Martins
Most people who are not in the property market don't understand what the term "Buy to Let" means. Well it's simple you buy the property and everything has been completed you rent to it out to anyone who wants to stay in your property. The main thing you have to think about when you're doing this is make sure your rent covers your mortgage payments.
One thing to bear in mind when venturing on a property investment like this is the total month duration times of the high and low seasons. In Northern Cyprus for example, the low season lasts just five months and the high season stretches over seven months. To put the icing on the cake, there are over 300 sunny days a year, allowing thousands of travel makers the luxury of all year round holidays in places like Northern Cyprus.
There's nothing better than having real figures to work from so let's go over a property deal including a sea view totalling 250.000 Euro. First you will have to make an initial down payment of 3000 Euro to hold the property. That is followed by paying a 30% total deposit which would come to 75.000 Euro, including the 3000 Euro down payment.
So your remaining amount for your mortgage is Euro 175,000. Now you can get a wide range of mortgages so it's best to shop around, I have seen them as low as 4.25%, so I'm going to base mine on this. Your monthly mortgage repayments will be around Euro 800. You must remember and this is very important make sure you only get an interest only mortgage. So if you do the sums over a 12 month period you'll be paying out around Euro 9600.00.
The average rental over a 12 month period for a Northern Cyprus property is around 10 months plus. Now on a property valued at this much you can ask for the following rental prices; High Season Euro 2600 Per Month - Low Season Euro 1500 per Month.
Right, now let's expand on that and if you rent out for 6 months during the high season and just 4 during the low season, you would rake in an amazing 21.600 Euro in rental income. Things are looking good already but out of that we must account for certain payments such as rental management and community fees, so make sure you find a recommended property management agency, although the costs will not succeed 1000 Euro. per year.
The important thing for you to know now is that if you believe this to be an opportunity that you don't want to let slip, then check out the Cyprusinformer.com/blog which holds all the answers to your Northern Cyprus property investment dreams.
