Well I know bugger all (technical term) about the rules in Turkey, but having lived all over the World
and even been forcibly thrown out of some countries at gunpoint I learned something. The first rule of living in, shall we say, not a long developed open regime such as the UK, some European Countries and the USA, is that there are no rules, and rule number 2 is refer to rule number 1!
Now I know this post will be most unpopular with the Estate agents here but much as I actually really like Kaya myself I would never buy there, or anywhere else, unless i could cheerfully lose my money and not care. because there is rule one to consider. I have seen so many friends lose everything as it was "safe", but forgot about rule 1. Even Lebanon was once regarded as a great Real Estate opportunity -- my friend Alan ended up owning two houses, a restaurant, a nightclub and left with a suitcase, a wife and a lovely daughter 20 years later!
We dont suddenly have Islamic revolutions in the UK, we dont have tribally influenced wars or strife, OK Ulster but that has been ongoung for 3 hundred years so we know about the dangers of shoplifting there -- lift it 100ft in the air! We dont have serious human rights issues, or subjugated tribes etc etc but it is a pain in the anus living here. So what do you do?
Well my plan whwrever I end up is simple, rent out high here and rent out lpow there, wherever you can do that and a nice lefestyle, just dont take too many suitcases! However, as it is not always easy to get what you want, if I won the lottery I would buy, after all I could afford to lose it!
