# Module 6: Rental Yield, Exit & Common Mistakes

What to realistically expect from rent, how to exit, and the mistakes to avoid.

Course progress 0/6 modules 

## Realistic yields

10–15% gross for managed short-term villas in Canggu/Uluwatu; 4–6% for long-term residential. Gross numbers are easy to inflate — what matters is net yield after management, voids, tax and maintenance.

### Exit strategy

Plan your exit before you buy. Three viable exits:

-   Sell to another foreign buyer (needs prime liquidity)
-   Sell to a local (needs reasonable local price level)
-   Hold and refinance, extracting equity

### Common mistakes

1.  Buying on emotion during a viewing trip
2.  Skipping the independent lawyer to "save money"
3.  Believing developer rental guarantees at face value
4.  Ignoring service charges and maintenance reserves
5.  Underestimating FX risk on a 10-year hold

### Main risk in this market

Zoning (green/yellow/red), illegal STR licensing crackdowns, and currency volatility.

### Key takeaways

-   Plan your exit BEFORE you buy. 
-   Net yield, not gross, is the right metric. 
-   Treat developer rental guarantees with scepticism. 
-   Service charges and FX are silent yield killers. 
-   Main local risk to manage: Zoning (green/yellow/red), illegal STR licensing crackdowns, and currency volatility.
