(both loans assume 15yr fixed) That gives a positive cash flow of 350/mo. much better. 

In this transaction, the value added wasn’t through physical renovations but rather through quick market positioning and strategic timing.

However, I am in constant communication with banks and in this environment I more often hear banks take the position of we want to see a depository relationship of XYZ percent of the loan amount in order for us to lend you real estate funds rather than take the position of offering better terms than other borrowers because of your depository relationship.  

Demand for housing in Bali exceeds availability, and favorable construction costs, salaries, regulations, and taxes make Bali an attractive destination for real estate investors.As @Benjamin Werner mentioned owning property in Bali works a bit differently than you probably would expect.
