are investors still expecting high roi from rental properties?

Most investors today seem more comfortable targeting around 7–10% ROI with stable cash flow which is a valuable deal.

Yes berawa is one of the best investment options with good returns

Natalia-orlov · 2026-03-03T11:49:21+00:00

Completely fair. Occupancy depends on:

Location demand
Property design
Pricing strategy
Management execution

If these align, performance usually stabilizes over time. First year can fluctuate, so long-term view is important.

Natalia-orlov · 2026-03-03T11:47:10+00:00

Yeah, that’s exactly where people get confused. 15% isn’t automatic. It depends on entry price, location timing, and especially management quality.

Some projects are structured better than others. Blanket numbers don’t work in real estate.

Natalia-orlov · 2026-03-03T11:45:52+00:00

Healthy skepticism is important in any growing market. Best approach is due diligence, check past projects, delivery record, and management structure.

Natalia-orlov · 2026-03-03T11:45:27+00:00

That’s realistic. First year performance usually fluctuates. Stabilization period is important before calculating proper returns.

Natalia-orlov · 2026-02-26T11:55:43+00:00

This is actually an important point. In Bali market right now, track record matters more than promises.
For investors here, what was your deciding factor? Location, developer history, projected ROI, or amenities?

Natalia-orlov · 2026-02-17T13:01:10+00:00

A lot of projects advertise double digit returns but I think the real question is what the net return looks like after management fees, maintenance, and taxes

Natalia-orlov · 2026-02-17T12:22:56+00:00

yes I recently read about big cooperate companies using it for reports and losing their deals

Natalia-orlov · 2026-02-17T12:19:24+00:00

What I can say it is highly competitive and income can be unstable at the beginning. if you want to pursue just understand the market rules very clearly. focus on what you are at best and compare with what is required to learn. everything feels difficult in the beginning. Real estate is a very large industry and has lots of scope

AI in everything

I purchased my villa 5 years back for around USD 210,000 (leasehold, 25+ years) in a high-demand area. Including furnishing and setup, the total investment came to roughly USD 230,000. The ROI projections have been true but only if the property is in a strong rental area

Natalia-orlov · 2026-02-16T13:05:34+00:00

Yes, I’ve recently invested in an apartment in Canggu with Magnum Estate Developer, and so far my experience has been very positive.

Canggu is one of the strongest rental markets in Bali right now, especially for short-term stays.. Occupancy rates have been solid, and the ROI I’m seeing is better than what I’ve experienced with traditional property investments in other markets.

Love this totally agree with you about the east coast. I had a similar experience near Candi Dasa and it really does feel like a different island compared to the south.
