Legal Due Diligence: Always engage a qualified Indonesian lawyer to verify ownership, check land certificates, and structure your purchase correctly.
Property Management: Essential for absentee owners. Budget 15-25% of rental income for professional management.
Tax Obligations: Rental income is taxable in Indonesia. Understand your obligations and potential Australian tax implications.
Insurance: Ensure adequate property and liability insurance. Standard Australian policies won't cover Indonesian properties.
