But,(why is there always a “but” somewhere?).
There's also a lot of risk involved, especially if you are just getting started and you do not have real estate development experience.
We suggest you discuss or better yet, work with someone that already has the know-how necessary to make your projects come to life. Just by talking and working side to side with professionals you will access their knowledge and methodology that can be useful if you plan to position yourself long term in this business. In case you are wondering, yes, working with a professional real estate company in Bali will mean that your profit margins could shrink a little.

What does off plan property mean?
An off plan property is a property, or better, a concept of a property that is yet to be built, so whoever is offering you to buy a off plan property is looking for funding to develop their own real estate project and you, the investor, is the person who can bring that project to life.
See examples of off plan projects in Bali.
The off plan investing strategy gets very close to being a turnkey investment solution since all you have to do is to provide funding to a project and then set the development machine in motion.
One of the pros of buying off plan properties is that you can access a price below the market value and so once the development is complete and the home hits the market the investor already has the possibility to sell for a 10-15 or even 20% premium.
The main risk of buying off plan is that there is no absolute guarantee that the project even starts building for example or that the final delivery is different from the initial project you bought.
This is a rare occurrence but should help you understand what is the tradeoff and risk involved when buying off plan projects.
The solution to mitigate the risks is always the same, and this is a recommendation we cannot stress enough:
Work with competent and professional companies and do tons of research.
Do not get caught up in the moment, especially when investing in Bali and think that the opportunity you have under your nose is too good to let it go. Remember to always take your time and evaluate the situation as well as all the parties involved in the project.
Other than this little recommendations, buying off-plan properties in Bali is a great way to kickstart your real estate enterprise or set up your Airbnb business.
When done properly is not disappointing, au contraire, is greatly rewarding.
