Berawa is very much a self-sustainable community of full-time expatriates from around the world. This diversity is reflected in an eye-watering variety of places to eat as well as world-class facilities close at hand, which include Finns Beach Club, The Canggu Club (now called Finns Recreational Center), international schools, shops, banks, medical clinics and a top surfer’s beach. This is a big draw, especially for families.
The down side to this growing popularity is that property prices are on the rise. However, it’s still a very attractive place to get a healthy return if you’ve got the right strategy and mindset and of course a good real estate agent who's more interested in helping you get the best deal than clocking you down as another commission.
It’s very possible to lease a nice three-bedroom villa for 25 years and rent it out for USD 30,000 + per year, thereby recouping your initial investment in 10 years. If long-term rentals aren’t your bag, it’s good to know that the demand for short-term holiday rentals is also on the rise and more than a few people are tapping into this lucrative market too, making their ROIs just as attractive and certainly better than anything they could get from a bank
