Send me the deal
before you sign it.
What a certificate actually gives you. What you can legally build and rent on the land. What a deal returns once every real cost is counted.

Does buying property in Bali give you a visa?
Not by itself. A normal villa purchase gives you no visa. The Second Home Visa can be based on property, but only at around USD 1 million, so almost everyone uses its deposit route instead.
-
Should you rent or buy in Bali?
Rent first if you have not lived here a full year. Buy when you know the area, plan to stay or hold ten years or more, and the numbers beat a year of rent paid up front.
-
What are the pros and cons of buying a villa in Bali?
The pros are real demand, land that has held its value in good locations, and a lifestyle you can use. The cons are no freehold, terms that run down, licensing, and a market that is slow to sell.
-
Should you buy a villa in Bali?
Yes, if you can hold for ten years or more, buy on the net numbers, and get the title and licence checked first. If you need the money back quickly or want a guaranteed return, no.
-
Where should you stay in Bali?
Nine areas, what each one is actually like, who it suits and who it ruins. Picking wrong is the most common reason a first trip disappoints.
-
What is Nusa Penida like to visit?
The most dramatic coastline in the region, an island of bad roads and cliff staircases, and a day trip that half the people who do it regret rushing.

I'm Kai.
I advise on property in Bali, and I'm on the ground here. This site exists because the honest answers to these questions are not what gets published. The market runs on optimism, and buyers find out afterwards. Everything here carries the regulation it comes from and the date I last checked it.
If you're looking at something specific, send it to me. I'll tell you what I'd check first.
Want me to find you the right one?
Tell me what you are looking for and I will come back to you personally. Four questions, about ten seconds, then it opens straight into my WhatsApp.
