Recently we were invited to review the performance of a new chat bot on an agents' website designed to automate answering of clients' questions...

The Take Away ? 

The chat bot works very well but the information it has been fed and is designed to provide is intentionally misleading, has inaccuracies, and omits key information pertaining to the most relevant information, for example, recent regulatory changes in Turkiye etc.

This is the key ever-present failing of AI ... it's knowledge relies entirely on information 'scraped' from the public domain (publicly available sources), which is always deficient in quality and reliability.

Simple Results of  Brief Assessment of the Replies Provided by the Most Up-to-Date state-of-the-art chatbot:

Probably not until the consumer protection laws in Turkiye are tightened or enforced to become more effective...and generally, not unless standard consumer protection regulatory practices are adapted internationally in the real estate sector, like they are in other sectors, for example in financial services....

At MyTapu Associates we strive to provide balance for consumer choice by offering Independent Professional advice from qualified Professionals, in addition to an element of self-regulatory perspective for the sector generally...  For example, the agent deploying the chat-bot above is reasonably credible and ethical, but also strives to be competitive with other agents, and so is driven to the sharp edge of business practices...

In terms of Investment Merit, the opportunity below ticks many boxes, to apply the tactical transaction techniques described above, and has better potential for citizenship investment investors than most properties seen over the last 18 months.. Why and How this is the case is discussed in detail in the free consultation....

2.  Begin your property search a minimum of 9 months in advance (or longer) – that Means beginning the Property Search & Selection service with your MyTapu Property Finder in March.

4.  Complete all Due Diligence steps on each property (there is a way to reduce the time and cost of doing this- your MyTapu Property Finder knows how to do it, as part of the preliminary Negotiation tactics he/she uses).

Contact email info@mytapu.com today with the subject heading Advance Planning Property Purchase, and the Team at MyTapu shall be pleased to answer questions and guide you to next steps.

The Solution: The way to solve the problems, does require extra effort, time and work this is the type of work that an immigration / citizenship consultant, real estate agent, or lawyer never has done, nor ever will do. This work does have extra costs. The practical way to deal with the extra costs is to share them among investing applicants. This means an investor should network himself with other friends and family to team together with a few other investors.

A)Sharing costs among investors, so for example, a minimum of five investors are sharing costs together, instead of one.

B)Buying property this way means investors all will have the added comfort and benefits of being together with like-minded people, friends and family at their new Turkish residence.

All Dollar & Fiat Deposits Doomed Again to Inflationary Devaluation: Expect 15-30% over next two years 

The pool of capital from which an investor draws funds to invest, is referred to as ther investor’s ‘Monetary Base'. In the present era during the final stages of the ongoing fiat money cycle & collapse (the 'Great Reset') , the number one priority for investor’s is to position their monetary base defensively to protect capital and preserve wealth. Analysing investment opportunities is a secondary priority, because in the present era the volatility in monetary base assets can produce losses that exceed profit returns in other assets, like real estate, fixed income bonds, stock equity, and alternative assets classes.x

Diversification of the Monetary Base is Defensive Strategy for Protecting Capital & Preserving Wealth. The charts of the US Dollar index below clearly show this present risk with the US Dollar having fluctuated in a 30% range during previous years. A longer term view of the shows the US Dollars has declined even more over a longer term … see here… Managing the Diversification of Assets is Essential for Defending the Purchasing Power of Capital Wealth.

Structurally Unavoidable due to US Dollar Debt Servicing Liabilities Exceeding Revenue Raising Capacity

• Fiat Currencies Most Vulnerable: those with Fiscal Fallacies Imbedded Structurally with severe asset/liability funding duration risk mis-matches (YUAN, JPY, GBP, EUR, USD) 

Proportionately Strong Natural Resource Export Revenues

Once again now, the US Dollar is under pressure, may crack key long-term price support level,… 

• but also likely shall experience periods of lesser pessimism and temporary bounce backs due to:
• New US trade tariff and hemisphere resource sequestration regime
• Structural impact of Tether USAT,UST, USD
• Un-foreseen new central banking system tools 
• Positive impact on US Capital Account and inflows attracted by US on-shoring policy priorities. 

Signaling another crisis in the world’s monetary and banking systems.

Market rumors of silver price (XAG) increase as the present one to four month short squeeze threatens contract and systemic default range from the present price of $100 per ounce to a range of $200- $600 and with out accurate supply/demand priced discovery modeling could be expected during speculative excess to exceed this level by multiples.

To place the present gold (XAU) price in context of comparative economic data, consider the total US government obligations and liabilities are estimated at $ 300 Trillion, with the US Government Treasury Bond debt alone at $38 Trillion, a revaluation of gold to collateralize that latter number prices gold at $200,000 per ounce from its current price of $5,000.

Perhaps that $200,000/ounce price serves as a benchmark at the lower end of a target range for Gold. If one considers the original reasons why Gold served as a backing for paper currency, the upper end of the range is considerably higher. Fifty years ago the US Dollar was exchangeable for physical Gold. That physical backing was removed, and if the reasons for Gold-backing once again became necessary, the upper price limit for Gold would be many multiples higher, The amount of US Treasury bond debt  of $ 38 trillion is a much smaller number than the total value of us dollars in circulation, considering the total amount of debt obligations of the US government and it’s agencies is estimated at $ 200 trillion, and is thus 5x more than US Treasury bonds, a Gold price of $ 1,000,000, 200x higher then it’s current price, inconceivable ?  The answer, is the reason, why the concept of the ‘Great Reset’ has become talked about incessantly during the last five years.   

The downward price manipulation of monetary metals since the price spikes of late 1970’s and early 1980’s  has been essential to maintain the pretence of security, trust and value in paper currency and digital credit, and the un-sustainable low quality economic growth fueled by cheap debt and manipulated price of credit / interest rates. 

There is neither question nor doubt that the commercial banking surrogates of the central banking monopoly have been manipulating prices. During the last few decades there have been numerous guilty verdicts delivered in the US and UK. The banks have paid huge fines, and the traders have been banned and otherwise sanctioned. The practice occurs not only in Gold pricing but also in interest rate pricing. Guilty verdicts for the manipulators of the London Inter Bank Offered Rate (Libor) in recent years are  the reason why Libor has disappeared from being the key most important interest rate in the global financial system- a monumental occurrence that scarcely receive any media coverage. The huge fines the banks pay for manipulating prices are just a trifle in the context of being essential to control the global financial system

At the crux of the present crisis, is the key issue of manipulation, enabling price discovery fraud, resulting in contract default. The decades of Gold and Silver price manipulation has resulted in extreme demand & supply imbalances, pushing markets to the brink of contagion and collapse, as the paper futures contracts for Silver delivery that trade on global exchanges and represent the physical price, can not be delivered. The paper futures contracts may naturally be expected to converge towards worthlessness, as their value is eradicated by delivery default. The system that is built around these contracts, relies on the trust the contracts will be honoured, and that trust in the system will also be destroyed. Loss of trust is contagious and increases risks of spreading through-out  the system, to other assets  This contagion is a feature of every systemic crisis. The resulting volatility is then impacted by a bi-furcated price discovery dynamic, as the paper contract prices crash, the physical metals prices increase in large, scarcely believable, daily increments, likely to many multiples of the current price. 

The ‘Great Reset’ is about who controls that re-pricing of scarcity, until such time as the demand and supply imbalance is stabilized, which under current circumstances for Silver, is unlikely to be adjusted by product substitution and new mine supply in less than 18 months to two years – far too long in present conditions requiring delivery within 3-6 months.   

Managing this situation by the bankers might have struggled along at politically acceptable levels for few more years of indulgence, were it not for the innovation in new technologies that spurred growth in new emerging economic sectors that led to a sharp increase in demand far exceeding supply for strategic minerals, including industrial uses for monetary metals: nickel, copper, gold, and silver, the latter having the most severe demand & supply imbalance.  Manipulating Prices Inevitably Fails, yes that time has arrived..

Issuing new debt to create liquidity to produce economic growth.

• This new growth hurriedly mis-allocates resources to sectors and investments having lesser sustainability and economic yield than  more carefully selected investments that produce innovations that spur more valuable growth..
• The debt fueled boom, inevitably leads to dependency on cheap credit to fuel economic activity, and over-leveraged financial sectors, leading to bust.
• Every new wave of debt creates new economic activity of shorter duration and larger volatility in asset values.
• Reliance on debt financing creates an addiction dependency abused by democratic governance systems, as politicians abuse government debt system to buy votes and thus power.

• Diminished impact of previous debt funding liquidity on economic activity.

• Deflationary price pressure undermining debt servicing and repayment
• Credit crisis in a specific segment of the system
• Sharp decline in asset values and prices...
• Liquidity funding provided as an emergency.
• Investment asset price inflation.
• General price inflation.
• Surge in economic growth that is temporary, followed by declining economic growth.
• Slowing growth results in reduced debt servicing capacity…
• Deflation results unless a new fix of new money to create new debt to earn interest to cover the burden of previously un-performing debt.
• Volatility of asset prices increase at simultaneously with the faster repition of the cycles over shorter time periods…
• Crack-Up Boom-Bust results from systemic stress between the contra flowing inflationary and deflationary dynamics
•  End of fiat money cycle
• Reserve currency displacement
  

This has happened multiple times over the last few hundred of years... nothing new !!! Nothing unexpected !!!

This is how and why investors that do not defend their monetary base with diversification will be left with vastly diminished capital and wealth… and it is not an investment practice – it is monetary management.

For real estate investors Turkiye offers alluring prospects for investment returns and lifestyle benefits. These attractions have resulted in a surge in international buyers at various times during the past two decades. This surge has also resulted in widespread abuse and fraud by unscrupulous middlemen.

One reason fraud is so prevalent is because a prosecution fraud prosecution in Turkiye requires widespread evidence of repeated malpractice effecting many victims. Unlike many countries, evidence is required from more than one transaction effecting more than one victim. The courts are also reluctant to pass judgment on what may or may not have been agreed between two parties on any one transaction.

Often this has created doubt among investors, and sometimes is misinterpreted to mean the authorities are ignoring the problem, For those doubters, we now have reassuring news of the authorities taking action. A recent anti-fraud action underway may aptly be described as ‘very large’… (we reserve the use of the term 'massive’ for describing the enormity of fraud elsewhere....). 

• 106 suspects 

• ·5 different companies

• ·19 provinces across Türkiye

• ·451 foreign investors

• ·1,240 apartments

• ·65 plots of land

• ·47 automobiles
• Total amount estimated at not less than $100 million

Effective January 1, 2026 new Land Registry regulations have been introduced for property purchase and sale transactions:

• All payments to be made by bank transfers to Land Registries’ on-line banking services
• Checking by Land Registries to ensure transaction price declarations, contract prices, and payment amounts - must all be the same

An investor receiving a request to make payment directly to a middleman should cease engagement. Such middlemen have been known to be receiving undisclosed profit sharing of hidden price mark-ups, and these middlemen collude together, including agents, citizenship consultants, lawyers, etc.

In addition, the new measure also brings the business process for property transactions with foreigners into closer alignment with that used by local Turks, whereby one payment transaction suffices for the purchase, instead of an additional payment or any advance payment, reservation deposit etc.

The scope for fraud still exists, as regulators know, a fraudster with a determined intention to deceive will find ways to do so. Thankfully, the new regulations further narrow the scope available to fraudsters. That scope in 2026 is now narrowed down to the practice on profiteering on hidden profiteering by excessively inflating prices at which properties are sold to unsuspecting buyers.

An additional hurdle for Citizenship Investors, is to overcome the risk that the official Eksper Raporu appraisal results in a valuation that is less than the current minimum application threshold of $400,000. There is one key intermediate 'three point’ step in the property search and valuation process that ensures this hurdle is overcome – it s not new- the experts at My Tapu have used it for more than ten years for ensuring mortgage finance completions. 

The solution is a key intermediate 'three point’ step technique that MyTapu Associates applied successfully for many years between 2007 and 2017 at the time mortgage finance was readily available at acceptable interest costs in Turkiye,,,.

With this technique MyTapu mortgage underwriting experts collaborated with MyTapu valuation specialists successfully to provide financing for single family residential home construction projects (bespoke designed luxury villas) on financing terms that were more advantageous than the credit terms available to Turkiye’s largest holding companies having the highest credit rankings….

Adapting the same principles and technique solves the challenges facing CBI/CIP investors for valuations… determining whether a specific property will achieve an Eksper Raporu appraisal valuation above the application threshold (currently $400,000). The technique ensures the Eksper Raporu requirements are satisfied by reliable and verifiable means.   

To be effective, the solution must be integrated at the earliest stage of the Property Search & Selection Process – success is unlikely if applied later or retrospectively, without exception.
