Living there for good
For buyers who are not looking for a rental yield - visas, schools, water security, banjar life and the slow questions that decide whether a house on Bali becomes a home.
Buying a home in Bali when you have no intention of renting it out
Nearly all Bali property advice assumes an occupancy model. If you are buying somewhere to actually live, almost every criterion changes. What to optimise for instead.
Water security, the banjar, and the things a land certificate does not cover
Two things decide whether a house on Bali works over decades, and neither appears on the title: whether there is water in October, and whether the village considers you a neighbour.
