Strategy — Investment

Georgia property investment

Gross yield
5–12 % p.a.
Rental taxation
from 5 %
Registration
1–4 working days

Georgia combines three things that rarely come together: a low entry price, high gross yields and a very fast, digital transfer of ownership. Depending on the chosen service, registration at the Public Registry is completed the same day, within one working day, or as standard within four working days — not months (source: NAPR, fees and terms, as of 21 Sep 2026).

Then there is the tax framework: a double taxation treaty exists between Germany and Georgia, rental income of individuals from residential letting for residential use can, without deducting costs, be taxed at 5 percent (Tax Code of Georgia, Art. 81(2), as of 21 Sep 2026), and purchases are also possible via developer instalment plans. We guide the strategy from target yield through to letting.

01

5–12 % gross yield

A realistic corridor across our markets, plus capital growth. We model conservative occupancy rather than best-case figures. Tbilisi sits at 5–9 % gross with long-term letting, Batumi at 8–12 % gross with active short-term letting (as of 15 Aug 2026).

02

5 % tax on rental income

Rental income of individuals from residential letting for residential use can, without deducting costs, be taxed at 5 percent (Tax Code of Georgia, Art. 81(2)) — a framework we calculate through in advance and review case by case.

03

Financing & instalments

Developers work with a down payment plus monthly instalments; foreigners can also obtain bank financing in Georgia subject to review.

The process: from first call to rental income

Five steps we run with every buyer — transparent, in your language, without middlemen.

  1. 01

    First call & goal profile

    We clarify budget, target yield, holding period and use (rental or own use) in a free consultation.

  2. 02

    Selection & due diligence

    We shortlist matching projects and check the developer, construction progress, registry status and draft contract before any money moves.

  3. 03

    Viewing or investment trip

    On site in Tbilisi and Batumi or by video — including appointments with developer, notary and bank.

  4. 04

    Purchase & registration

    Notarised contract and registration at the Public Registry — the same day, within one working day, or as standard within four working days, depending on the fee tier chosen. Payment follows the agreed plan.

  5. 05

    Rental & management

    Furnishing, listing, guest care or long-term tenants, accounting and ongoing support after handover.

Risks we name openly

Completion & developer

With off-plan instalment purchases much depends on the developer. We only work with developers who have delivered projects, and we track every construction stage.

Occupancy & season

Batumi runs on the summer season. Lower occupancy means lower yield — which is why we calculate conservatively.

Currency & exchange rate

Prices are mostly in US dollars, rents partly in lari. Exchange rate moves affect both income and value.

Law, tax & resale

Rules can change, and a sale needs time and a buyer. Tax questions we clarify case by case with our partners.

We run your scenario with your own numbers in a free first consultation.

Frequently asked questions about investing

What yield is realistic in Georgia?+

How do I finance a property in Georgia?+

The common route is a down payment plus interest-free developer instalments until completion. In addition, Georgian banks review financing for foreign buyers individually based on income, equity and the property.

How is rental income taxed in Georgia?+

How long does the transfer of ownership take?+
