In Mersin, INCOME MERSIN operates with three main rental strategies: long-term rentals of one year or more, short-term or seasonal rentals, and daily rentals. Each strategy is suitable for different property types and different tenant categories.

Real estate profitability depends not only on the price and type of property, but also on the apartment format, location, amenities, complex infrastructure, distance to the sea, and tenant demand. The same apartment is not equally effective in all rental scenarios, so a strategy should be chosen first, and then a property selected.

For long-term rentals in Mersin, 2+1 and 3+1 apartments are more common, while 1+1 apartments are less common. For short-term and seasonal rentals, 1+1 and 2+1 apartments are more suitable, while 3+1 apartments are less common. For daily rentals, 0+1 and 1+1 apartments are considered the most suitable.

INCOME MERSIN manages only its clients' rental properties. INCOME MERSIN's policy

We don't operate on the "bring any apartment and we'll try to rent it out" model, but rather develop a rental strategy even before purchasing the property.

Because rental results are determined at the time of purchase. If an apartment is chosen without a strategy, the investor may encounter an unsuitable location, low liquidity, lack of demand, the wrong complex format, or the property being unsuitable for short-term or daily rentals.

The company helps determine the purchase objective, select a rental strategy, find properties that fit this strategy, and calculate an investment model. The analysis takes into account the annual income target, ROI, payback period, seasonal rates, furnishing costs, management fees, and the potential for property appreciation.
