Batumi Townhouse Case Study: The Real Math Behind a 15% Return

A Real Deal: $240,000 Townhouse, Long-Term Tenant at $2,000/Month

We recently closed a townhouse sale in Batumi at $240,000. Shortly after, the buyer received an offer from a tenant for a long-term lease at $2,000/month. Long-term contracts carry no vacancy or turnover cost, so this is a clean, real-world case to show what a Batumi property purchase actually returns.

The Numbers

Annual rent: $2,000 x 12 = $24,000

Net rental yield: $24,000 / $240,000 = 10.0%

For appreciation, we use the conservative, institutional forecast from Galt & Taggart's 2026 Batumi Residential Real Estate Outlook, which projects 5% annual price growth for the primary market in 2026 — well below the 10-15% figures some marketing sites advertise, but defensible.

Combined annual return (net yield + appreciation): approximately 15%

5-Year Outlook on the Same $240,000

Year 1 — Property value: $252,000 · Cumulative net rent: $24,000

Year 2 — Property value: $264,600 · Cumulative net rent: $48,000

Year 3 — Property value: $277,830 · Cumulative net rent: $72,000

Year 4 — Property value: $291,722 · Cumulative net rent: $96,000

Year 5 — Property value: $306,308 · Cumulative net rent: $120,000

Total 5-year gain: $66,308 in appreciation + $120,000 in net rent = $186,308

Total 5-year ROI: 77.6% — roughly 15% per year, in USD, with no construction risk since the unit is delivered and titled.

Why This Matters for Buyers

This is one closed transaction, not a projection. Secret Garden Villas townhouses carry the same profile: sea proximity, ready title, RE/MAX-backed transaction, and a buyback guarantee. If you're comparing Batumi to other coastal markets, this is the kind of return math worth running before you decide.
