houses damaged on Lombok in 2018. The neighbouring island, about 35 km from Bali, intensity 8. Most damage was to houses with brick walls and concrete built without quality control. For an owner one thing matters: the house must stand.
Build Change, Earthquake reconnaissance report, Lombok 2018; Universitas Mataram; Wikipedia, 5 August 2018 Lombok earthquakeWhy a steel frame
During an earthquake the force on a house grows with its mass. Brick and concrete are heavy and brittle: they crack and collapse. A steel frame is lighter and ductile: it flexes and returns to its place.

FAQ
Why invest in Bali real estate?
What is the typical rental yield for properties in Bali?
Well-managed villas in Bali can return up to 10% a year, more than in many other global markets. This is driven by the island’s high tourist influx, premium short-term rental rates, and strong demand for private villas.
Why is the ROI on Bali property so high?
Bali's tourism industry ensures high occupancy rates for rental properties, while relatively low real estate prices compared to other global hotspots allow for strong profit margins. Additionally, the island’s year-round appeal keeps rental demand stable.
