Turnkey and Cash-flow Positive Business. The villa is a turnkey business, cashflow positive from the date of purchase.
Booking Managers
There are two booking managers (Petra and Maria) in place who have 24-hr coverage for inquiries during the week and <4 hr response times during the weekends. The current average response time is within 1 hour which makes an incredible difference to converting an inquiry to a booking.
Upon purchase it can be discussed having Petra and Maria continue to respond to inquiries for you. If you wish to do the bookings yourself or train someone else, the owner can give you access to the full training package they’ve used to train their staff.
On-site Staff
The on-site staff are led by Pak Yudi who is an extremely competent and charming manager. Guests rave about him and he is extremely professional in his dealing with guests, training of staff and management of the villas. The current owners are extremely lucky to have him and he is an asset.
The cleaning staff have also worked at the complex for many years, including Kadek Rita who has been there since inception.
Rental License (Pondok Wisata)
To rent a villa in Indonesia a rental license (Pondok Wisata or PW) is required. This villa has recently been inspected and approved for renewal of the license.
Some things to note:
- The PW is shared with three other houses at the complex
- The PW is held in the name of Tut Cing. The owners pay him a modest salary for this and there is an indemnity document you must sign which protects him from any tax obligations from the villas. It basically states that all income is your responsibility and has nothing to do with him.
Location and Neighborhood
This villa is located in the banjar of Lodtunduh within a complex, 3.5km south of the city center and just 2.4km south of the famous Yoga Barn in Ubud.
It is the 8th of 10 houses to be built along either side of a local stream on reclaimed land. The designers were careful to choose land which was not used for rice farming (and hence deprive local farmers of any income).
Lease and Over-contract
The villa is sub-leased from a master lease on the plot of land beneath Desa Bulan. The contract spells out your
- Rights to access
- Use of the communal facilities
- Obligations to communal expenses
- Ability to transfer your sublease at any time
The current lease expires May 2039. The master lease is renewable and negotiations are slowly proceeding with the land owners.
