Q: How Much Does it cost to buy a home in Bali?

A: Each apartment has a base price of $55,000 USD.  Any upgrades you select will increase this price. This is important to know that most people thought do not know that you are buying an apartment, not renting it. Hence, you only pay a one-time price for the ownership and the apartment is yours (Permanently - until you sell or lease it to qualified retirees 55+).

Q: I don't want to live in Bali year round, what are my options?

A: If you prefer living in Bali part-time, you can sublet up to 6 months per year to qualified lessees.  

Q: How much is the maintenance fee, and what does it cover?

A: The fee is $199.00 USD.  This fee covers all the upkeep, all utilities (except electricity), hot water, and housekeeping, groundskeeping, and pool service, all hazard and liability insurance, and much more.

Q: Do I have to pay the maintenance fee even if I am not living in Bali at the time?

A: Yes, you are required to pay the maintenance fee year round. Since this is a cooperative, maintenance costs are shared to bring considerable savings to everyone.

Q: Why isn't electricity included in the MAINTENANCE fee?  Is electricity expensive?

A: Because people's average electrical use varies considerably, we felt it more fair for everyone to pay for their own usage.  Your electric bill should be under $20.00 USD per month, obviously this can vary depending on your personal usage.

Q: Do you Provide Financing?

A: While we don't provide direct financing, we can help you work with a lending institution local to where you live.

Q: Do I have to pay taxes in Indonesia?

A: There is no income tax imposed on pensioners.  The property taxes are included in the monthly maintenance fees, so you don't need to worry about those, either.  There is a 10% tax for hotels, restaurants, and most goods; groceries are not taxed at all.  For a complete list of taxes (as of 2015) in Bali, click this link.
