Villas in Bali: a Guide for Investors and Digital Nomads. How to Buy, Sell, or Manage Your Property in a Tropical Paradise.
Introduction
Hi! My name is Margarita Kulam.
I’ve been living in Asia for almost 10 years, combining immigration with entrepreneurship. In 2022, I moved from China to Bali and became interested in purchasing a villa for investment purposes. I spent several months studying the local real estate market, comparing different types of villas, areas, and offers. Eventually, I chose a promising project from an Italian developer and made a deposit. The villa was completed right on time, and I handled the interior decoration and design. A few months later, it was purchased by a French couple. It was their fifth property on the island, and they didn’t even fly over for the transaction, completing everything through a power of attorney at a notary. Over the 14-month cycle, I earned a 23% profit after taxes and commissions.
Through this sale, I gained invaluable experience, which has now provided me with the best contacts and a solid understanding of the key principles of the real estate market in Bali. I saw the entire process from the inside. I learned how to negotiate lower prices and secure better terms for myself. For months, I observed other projects, interacted with agents, and, based on personal experience, understood which developers are worth working with and which are not.
