WHY GEORGIA

A smaller entry point into an international real-estate market.

Georgia gives international property investors a different mix of accessibility, tourism growth and property pricing.

Foreign buyers can generally own eligible non-agricultural real estate, registration is relatively low cost, and current Batumi opportunities can start considerably below the investment required in many mature global property markets.

Lower Entry Cost

Current Mardi inventory includes opportunities from approximately US$57K, allowing you to diversify with a more controlled property investment.

International Ownership

Foreign buyers can generally own eligible non-agricultural real estate, subject to the exact title and transaction structure.

Tourism-Led Demand

The latest Mardi material cites 6.8 million international visits in 2025 and approximately US$4.1 billion of tourism revenue — important context for hospitality-led property demand.

Simple Registration

Georgia uses a public property registry with relatively low state-service fees and accelerated registration options.

WHY BATUMI

Where tourism, hospitality and coastal real estate come together.

Batumi is Georgia’s Black Sea investment story.

The city combines coastal tourism, international hotels, residential living, entertainment and a growing resort corridor toward Makhinjauri and Green Cape.

This creates multiple sources of demand for property rather than relying on a single buyer or tenant profile.

  • Black Sea coastal destination
  • International hospitality brands
  • Central-city and resort demand
  • Makhinjauri wellness and nature positioning
  • Growing hotel room and ADR metrics
  • Multiple investment ticket sizes

THE INVESTMENT LOGIC

Two potential return drivers: value growth and rental income.

Selected projects allow investors to enter during development and later participate in rental demand once the property becomes operational.

The balance between capital growth and rental income will depend on the project, the unit you buy, your purchase price and the operating model.

Enter During Development

Buying before completion may provide a different entry price from a completed and operating asset. Capital appreciation is not guaranteed.

Managed Rental Options

Branded hotel-apartment projects are designed around operator-led guest demand, reducing the need for you to manage bookings and housekeeping yourself.

Personal-Use Flexibility

Residential projects can offer a combination of investment, holiday-home and longer-stay use depending on the property and contract.

Portfolio Diversification

A smaller property ticket can help you spread investment exposure across different markets and asset types.

PRACTICAL INVESTOR INFORMATION

Registration, funds, tax and residence.

Registration

Georgia’s public registry offers relatively low state-service fees, including standard and accelerated registration options.

  • Approx. US$55 — standard
  • Approx. US$100 — one-day
  • Approx. US$130 — same-day

Confirm current official charges before transaction.

Funds Transfer

Purchase funds should move through documented banking channels to the relevant seller or developer account, subject to banking and compliance requirements.

Rental distributions and eventual sale proceeds can generally be moved through documented banking channels, subject to bank requirements and applicable law.

Tax

Rental and resale taxation depends on the property type, ownership structure and holding period.

Do not promise a specific tax rate without reviewing the exact transaction.

Residence

Property-linked residence may be available for qualifying registered non-agricultural property above the applicable certified market-value threshold, currently referenced at above US$150,000 in the supplied materials.

Eligibility and current requirements must be confirmed before purchase.

INVESTOR CONFIDENCE

Know what you are buying before your money moves.

Georgia does not use Dubai’s exact mandatory off-plan project escrow framework.

The right protection is to understand the title position, purchase contract, payment route and any project-specific registered rights before reservation.

Public Registry

Verify registered ownership, cadastral references, mortgages and encumbrances.

Contract

Confirm price, payment milestones, handover obligations, remedies and transfer mechanics.

Project Rights

Where applicable, confirm whether future rights or other interests can be registered.

Brand / Feasibility

International brand standards and independent feasibility work can add operating discipline, but they do not guarantee construction completion, rental income or resale value.

RE/MAX ZAM

RE/MAX ZAM coordinates the offer, documents and developer communication so the transaction is clear from the outset.
