Investing in Bali Property During Covid-19

Investing in property in Bali has been a lucrative way of generating cash flow for the past ten years and improving your investment portfolio for so many seeking secondary homes, holiday homes or just investments opportunities for development.
Currently, the influx of tourists to the island may have ceased during 2020 heading into 2021 due to the COVID19 outbreak, but preparations for them to return in their multitudes continue in earnest, as we believe Bali will be on top of the list for most looking to have a dream home somewhere warm and friendly.
Moreover, all the time, the flights are grounded, and the price of land and property decreases, golden opportunities to snap up some prime real estate, Land opportunities and some amazing hotels and resorts are plentiful. We have seen prices decrease from 20-50% on some villas, hotels and alike.
With so many new changes happening in the economy globally, we believe that more and more people are and will be looking to invest in homes they are able to occupy for a few months a year. This trend seems to be more and more prominent amongst those individuals who are able to work remotely for a few months out of a year.
Investment strategies in Bali prior to the pandemic was commonly to invest in property for immediate profit on rental incomes or longer term leasing. For others this was both a holiday home and income generating. Some investors bought up land in order to build a villa or purchase existing villas they could refurbish and sell on at a better price.
Short term investment strategies in Bali use to be a fast moving investment approach, build and sell on, refurbish and sell on and has proven to be a huge success for most whom has taken on this strategy. With Covid-19 slowing down the influx of travelers into Bali, this has proven to be somewhat slowing down, but by no means stopping. Investors are getting great deals on either land or villas and are able to spend some cash flow in order to build or refurb and sell on at a great profit margins.
Some medium term investment strategies has proven to be very rewarding in the past, where most investors would reap the benefits of the rental market for 24-48 months before selling their investment. This has also slowed down due to the restrictions and less visitors coming through. However the shorter term investment units have taken on the longer term strategy, which varies from 3-12 months rentals instead of daily.
