Inside the screen
Eight pages. The ownership structures, the costs the listing doesn’t show, and the seven signals that end a deal on the spot.
The one question. Foreigners do not own land in Indonesia — the sentence that reorders every Bali listing, and the four structures foreign capital actually uses.
Leasehold, fully mapped. The structure behind 6 in 10 listings — the term, the renewal math, and the one registration move that protects you.
The closing-cost stack. Every one-time line, priced — notaris to BPHTB. A Rp 5B villa is not a Rp 5B purchase.
The seven red flags. Any one is a verdict. Run all seven against a live listing in 10 minutes — the screen ends with the listing you were already looking at.
