INVESTMENT GUIDE
Rental Income Guide North Cyprus
Understanding rental yields, holiday returns and passive income potential.
SCHEDULE DISCOVERY CALLHow strong is the rental market in North Cyprus?
North Cyprus offers one of the highest rental yield potentials in the Mediterranean, driven by a growing tourism industry, an expanding university population, limited premium seafront supply and increasing foreign buyer demand.
The market is divided into long-term residential rentals, student rentals and short-term holiday rentals — each with a different risk, return and management profile.
BENCHMARKS
Average rental yields
| Property type | Long-term yield | Short-term yield |

| Studio Apartment | 6–8% | 8–10% |
| 1–2 Bed Apartment | 6–9% | 8–11% |
| Luxury Villa | 5–7% | 8–12% |
Note: holiday rentals typically generate higher returns but require active management.

ALTERNATIVE MODEL
Market-based rental vs. Limitless Contracted Rent
Everything above describes market-based rental income: the return depends on occupancy, nightly rates and rental-market conditions. On selected developments there is a second option — Limitless Contracted Rent, where the monthly rent, payment schedule and agreement period are agreed directly with the developer before you purchase.
