Investing in Tbilisi Real Estate: 3 Powerful ROI Methods You Need to Understand
This guide walks you through two essential ROI models — capital appreciation and rental income — using real numbers from our Avlabari building. Use our free calculator to test your own investment scenarios.
Before investing in Tbilisi real estate, it’s essential to understand how ROI (Return on Investment) works so you can make data-driven decisions.
At LD Estates, we don’t just market properties — we give you the tools to measure if an investment is truly profitable. Whether you’re aiming for capital appreciation (flipping) or rental income, our ROI calculator helps you make smart decisions before investing a single dollar.
And in this post, we’ll show you exactly how — using one of our active listings: the Avlabari Investment Building in central Tbilisi.
Why Avlabari?
This property gives us a perfect opportunity to demonstrate real-world ROI calculations for anyone investing in Tbilisi real estate.
Avlabari is one of the fastest-developing areas in Tbilisi, attracting both local and foreign investors. It offers a mix of commercial and residential space, high rental demand, and strong resale value — making it an ideal case study for this ROI analysis.
What Is ROI in Real Estate — and Why It Matters
ROI (Return on Investment) tells you how much profit you’re making in relation to how much you’ve spent. Without this calculation, you’re flying blind. And when it comes to investing in Tbilisi real estate, the math must work before you commit.
At LD Estates, we’ve built two calculators to help you assess:
- Capital Appreciation ROI – For those who want to renovate and sell
- Rental Income ROI – For those who prefer long-term passive income
ROI Strategy 1: Flip the Building (Capital Appreciation)
Let’s say you buy the Avlabari Building as a black frame for $850,000, invest $250,000 in renovation, and then sell it for $1,500,000.
ROI Formula: ROI=Final Sale Price−(Purchase Price+Renovation)Total Investment=1,500,000−1,100,0001,100,000≈36.36%\text{ROI} = \frac{\text{Final Sale Price} – (\text{Purchase Price} + \text{Renovation})}{\text{Total Investment}} = \frac{1,500,000 – 1,100,000}{1,100,000} \approx 36.36\%ROI=Total InvestmentFinal Sale Price−(Purchase Price+Renovation)=1,100,0001,500,000−1,100,000≈36.36%
That’s a 36% return on capital — a strong margin for a 6–12 month flip cycle.
This strategy is ideal for investors who want faster liquidity and believe in the appreciating value of Tbilisi’s real estate. Our Capital Appreciation Calculator is especially useful for those investing in Tbilisi real estate with the goal of flipping.

ROI Strategy 2: Rent It Out (Passive Income Model)
Another popular strategy when investing in Tbilisi real estate is holding a property and generating rental income.
Now, let’s take the same building, fully finished and delivered rent-ready by LD Estates for $1,150,000.
Estimated monthly rental income (based on market averages): $9,000
Estimated annual operating expenses: $6,000
Rental ROI Formula:
- Monthly Rental Income: $9,000
- Annual Income = 9,000 × 12 = $108,000
- Annual Expenses = $6,000
- Net Annual Income = 108,000 − 6,000 = $102,000
- Purchase Price (fully finished) = $1,150,000
ROI=102,0001,150,000≈8.87%\text{ROI} = \frac{102,000}{1,150,000} \approx 8.87\%ROI=1,150,000102,000≈8.87%
You earn ~8.9% annually, assuming full occupancy and stable rental conditions. This model suits investors looking for stable passive income with less operational complexity.

Strategy 3: Partner Up – Partial Ownership, Lower Risk
Can’t invest the full amount? We offer a third option:
Invest $750,000 and own up to 70% of the completed space, either to generate rental income or resell your portion – Learn More
This hybrid model combines reduced capital risk with proportional access to rental or resale profits — making it perfect for joint ventures or first-time international investors.

Active Developments:
1. Why is ROI important when investing in Tbilisi real estate?
ROI (Return on Investment) helps you evaluate whether a property is financially worthwhile. In fast-growing markets like Tbilisi, calculating ROI lets you compare different strategies — such as flipping or renting — to make data-driven decisions.
2. What’s the difference between capital appreciation ROI and rental ROI?
– Capital Appreciation ROI measures your profit from buying, renovating, and reselling the property.
– Rental ROI calculates your annual return based on income from renting the property after purchase and renovation.
Both methods reveal different financial outcomes — one focuses on resale value, the other on passive income.
3. What is a good ROI for real estate in Georgia?
In Tbilisi, a rental ROI above 7% is considered strong, especially for centrally located properties. Capital appreciation ROIs of 30–40% are achievable with well-executed renovations and strategic resale timing.
4. How do I use the ROI calculator on your website?
Simply input your expected purchase price, renovation costs (or rental income and expenses), and the calculator will show your projected ROI instantly. No registration or email required.
5. Can I invest partially in a property, or do I need to buy the whole building?
Yes — LD Estates offers partial ownership options starting from $750,000 for up to 70% of a completed project. This makes high-ROI investments accessible even without buying the entire property.
6. How accurate are the ROI projections?
We use real market data for construction costs, rental prices, and sale values. While ROI depends on future market behavior, our tools provide reliable estimates for making informed investment choices.
