The Deliverable

What’s in the $49 Playbook.

8 sections. Every formula written out. Built for Australian foreign buyers underwriting a Bali villa.

The 4 foreign-ownership pathways. Hak Pakai, leasehold, PT PMA, nominee: what each grants, where each fails.

The 5-step Bali framework. Pull, purge, deduct, overlay, score.

The Bali fee stack. Staff, banjar, PBB, utilities, refurb, OTAs.

The legal traps. Seven exit triggers, each one named.

3 live deal walkouts. Canggu, Pererenan off-plan, Sanur Hak Pakai. Two kills. One close.

The Australian overlay. FIRB, CGT cost-base, ATO, treaty credits, AUD/IDR.

The Bali Villa Net Yield Math.The brochure quotes gross. The bank account pays net. The PDF works the full stack on one Canggu villa, Airbnb vs long-lease.

// The deduction stack · numbers worked twice in the PDF

Gross asking yield —
− Staff (manager, cleaner, gardener, security) −
− Banjar + PBB property tax + insurance −
− Utilities + pool/garden + reactive maintenance −
− OTA commissions + property management fee −
− Refurbishment provision (1.5% of asset / yr) −
Net yield to the foreign buyer In the PDF

PDF works the stack twice on the same AUD 490K Canggu villa — Airbnb vs long-lease.

// Three questions you’re already asking

Read this before you click.

Does it cover my situation?Seven regions, all four pathways, and a full Australian overlay.

Not in Bali yet?

The framework is region-agnostic. Step 04 covers Seminyak, Canggu, Pererenan, Ubud, Uluwatu, Sanur, Jimbaran.

I’m Australian. Does it cover FIRB, CGT, AUD/IDR?

Yes. Section 7 is the Australian overlay: FIRB applicability, AUSTRAC IFTI threshold, ATO 50% CGT discount, the Australia–Indonesia tax treaty, AUD/IDR exposure on a long hold.

What if I’m on KITAS?

Hak Pakai requires a valid KITAS or KITAP. Section 1 walks the 4 pathways and which fits which status. Hak Pakai explainer →

Who wrote it, and is it legal advice?Independent research. Not AI. Not legal advice.

Is this AI-generated?

No. Fieldwork on the ground since 2024, 33,030 Thai listings analysed across four cities. AI cannot stand in a Bali notaris office.

Is this legal advice?

No. Independent research only. Engage a licensed local notaris and your accountant before any closing.

Why $49?Because the gap between gross and net is where the money goes.

Why pay when free guides exist?

A brochure is written to sell the villa, so it leads with the pool, not the fee stack. On a Rp 5B villa, the deduction matrix is worth far more than $49.
