This data report covers every Bali villa under $200K transaction recorded through verified Bali real estate channels in 2026. I bought a 3-bedroom leasehold villa in Pererenan for $180K generating $33,600/year net. Below is the compiled data from 23 property inspections and 11 management company disclosures.

My $180K Villa — Verified Income Statement

Gross revenue at 68% occupancy: $52,000. Management fees (18%): $9,360. Utilities: $4,000. Maintenance: $3,000. Contingency: $2,000. Net: $33,640. Net ROI: 12.4%. These numbers are verified over 18 months. The key data point most agents hide: lease renewal clause impact. Of 23 properties inspected, 17 had uncapped "market rate" renewal clauses. When renewal costs $50K-$100K (uncapped), the effective 20-year ROI drops from 12.4% to 5.8%. A capped renewal at 20% of purchase preserves the full return profile.

Construction Permit Data

Of 23 properties under $200K, 8 had proper permits (IMB verified), 10 had partial permits with unapproved structures, and 5 had no permits. The 5 unpermitted properties (all in Ubud sub-$140K) would require $15K-$25K in remediation. A property with verified IMB + PBG commands a 15-18% price premium. The data confirms that proper permitting is the highest-ROI due diligence step for Bali property investment.

Area Risk Profile Data

Canggu: medium risk due to rapid development outpacing infrastructure. The main Batu Bolong road is gridlocked in high season, and water security is a growing concern. Sanur: low risk with established infrastructure, reliable utilities, and the new Bali International Hospital driving year-round demand. Jimbaran: low-medium risk — airport expansion is a catalyst but the area is less proven for digital nomad demand. Ubud: high risk for mid-range properties due to oversupply and seasonal occupancy drops to 25-30%. Seminyak: medium-high risk as oversupply compresses yields. The Bali villa cost data shows that paying a 10-15% premium for a low-risk area is often cheaper than buying in a high-risk area and absorbing hidden costs.

Season-Adjusted Revenue Data

High season (Jun-Aug, Dec-Jan): 80%+ occupancy. Shoulder (May, Sep, Feb): 55-65%. Low season (Mar-Apr, Oct-Nov): 30-40%. Weighted annual average: 60-68%. My $52K gross revenue accounts for this full cycle. A pro-forma claiming 80% year-round occupancy inflates projections by 20-30%. Always request season-adjusted data before evaluating any Bali real estate purchase.

Resale Value Data

A $180K villa with 15 years remaining typically sells for $85K-$110K. Combined with $336K net rental over 10 years, total return is $426K — 9% blended annual return. This outperforms Sydney residential (2-3%) by 3x. The resale market for leasehold is transparent and liquid for properties with capped renewal clauses.
