Hi Bennet
Mortgages are available (up to 100%) from Turkish banks for high net worth investors (including non-Turkish nationals). For "ordinary investors" - up to 80%. The availability of credit is easier to attain from Turkish banks than from most of the foreign lenders.
It is possible to have a gifted deposit on the right type of investment in Turkey. You'll need a good agent to identify such investments for you.
Price Water House Cooper (PWC) and the Urban Land Institute (ULI) published the 5th edition of Emerging trends in Real Estate Europe in February 2008. They concluded that Turkey is the best investment in 2008 for residential property. PM me if you want a full copy of the report.
Good Luck with your research.
