# Module 4: Financing & Currency Strategy

Local mortgages, developer payment plans and how to hedge FX risk.

Course progress 0/6 modules 

## Can you get a local mortgage?

Foreign-buyer mortgages exist in most of these markets but come with higher rates, lower loan-to-values (50–70%) and stricter documentation than domestic loans. Always get a pre-approval before you sign a reservation.

### Developer payment plans

Off-plan developers often offer staged payment plans (30/40/30, 1% per month). These are interest-free finance — useful, but only if delivery risk is acceptable.

### Currency strategy

If your income is in a different currency from **Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)**, you carry FX risk on every future payment and on the eventual sale. Use forward contracts or staged conversions for large transfers.

### Cash vs. leverage

Leverage amplifies both yield and risk. For first-time buyers in a new market, lower leverage reduces stress and exit pressure.

### Key takeaways

-   Get mortgage pre-approval BEFORE reserving. 
-   Foreign-buyer LTVs are typically 50–70%. 
-   Off-plan payment plans are interest-free leverage — but carry delivery risk. 
-   FX brokers beat retail banks on large transfers. 
-   Lower leverage = lower stress in your first foreign deal.
