Cashing your chips in at home and moving to Bali. Sounds like a dream come true, but how do you go about buying / building a house in Bali? Here’s some advice from BaliProperties.com
Buy an Existing Villa or Build for Yourself ?
Great advice and a look into the Bali real estate scene. People building houses in Bali will tell you it is important to be there yourself. The workers do not work fast and want every Balinese holiday off, with pay. Rainy days they don’t like to work and initiative…there isn’t any. If 20 guys are down to their last bag of cement, they will wait till its empty to tell you. Still some people end up with great houses and there is a way of getting a good deal. Do your homework, talk to a few reputable construction companies, talk to long term expats, not the ‘get rich quick smart-mouths’ who are in the business of selling you something. If you get all your ducks in a row as far as legally, structurally and economically you could be onto a good thing.
