- A $139k villa at ~12% net returns ≈$17k a year, enough for a second deposit in ~2–3 years.
- Off-plan repricing (+15–30%) accelerates the cycle if you rotate equity.
- DOMA investors get first access to new projects before public sales.
- Two-three compact villas beat one expensive one on risk and rentability.
The most common second purchase in our books is a repeat rather than an upgrade. The same compact Ubud unit, bought with the first villa's payouts. Portfolio building here is arithmetic, not magic. Here is the loop.
The compounding loop
Villa one nets ≈$17,000 a year (the math). In two-plus years that becomes a 30% first payment on villa two, which then builds while villa one keeps paying. A faster variant is to sell villa one after delivery repricing (+15–30%) and roll the equity into two off-plan units. Ten-year outcomes differ dramatically from the single-villa path.
Why repeat buyers get better economics
Existing investors hear about new projects in our portfolio before public sales, at the earliest prices in each project's life. Documents and payment rails are already set up, so the second deal takes days, not weeks. And a two-villa portfolio smooths occupancy seasons that a single unit feels fully.
FAQ
Should villa two be bigger?
Not necessarily. 1–2BR units have the deepest guest demand in Ubud, and two compact villas usually out-earn one large.
Can I mix locations?
Yes, many owners pair Ubud yield with a coastal or Dubai asset. See the portfolio guide.
Does DOMA discount repeat buyers?
Early access to pre-public prices is the structural advantage. Commercial terms are discussed per project.
