A few months ago, I came up with an idea to crowdfund a real estate under construction in Batumi and sell it for profit once completed. I was contacted by a potential investor from Canada, and we kept shaping this idea more and more until we are already ready to make our first co-investment.
High Risk / High Return Investment Opportunity in Batumi Real Estate
A few weeks ago I went again to Batumi, to re-check the situation with Batumi real estate, and did some findings, some were good and some were not so good, I raised my concerns to the potential investor.
Because myself being located in Tbilisi, I decided to make a quick look at Tbilisi real estate market with a focus on new projects under construction.
For this focus, I decided to look at a few properties across Tbilisi city, not prime locations, but lower prices. Because of the lower price we could afford to buy a more spacious apartment, which we could sell with a good profit margin to families with kids or rent it out for long term or Airbnb.
For this quick research, I was using korter.ge website, the more digging in would be required, contacting developer companies or dealing with real estate agents mostly over Whatsapp.

The buildings were constructed using monolithic-frame technology while the seismic stability reaches 9 points on the scale of Richter. The comfort of the tenants and the reduction of utility costs is achieved by sound-absorbing, hydro- and heat-insulating systems. A fire safety system is also provided.
The high-rise residential buildings are made in a single architectural style and the facades are painted in light shades. The windows of the apartments offer a panorama of the historical part of Tbilisi, the surrounding mountains and the Mtkvari River.
