Secure your financial assets as an expat in Indonesia

@Cheryl

Hi

i thought this type of advertising ( spam ) content wasn't a;;owed on expats according to your rules and regulations , it appears that the team are allowing more advertising into this format, and soon as most others are like it will become an advertising platform for most company's and personal businesses for gain , i personally believe that such content is for gain not advice and i believe you should look closer into the type of advertising you allow on this site and who can post, i realise that there is a fine line but this type of advertising appears commercial not personal.

This is my opinion but I'm sure that others feel the same about this.

Thank you

Daryl

For readers who missed the (now removed) offending post, it was a bitcoin scam.

@Daryl - We remove anything we can prove immediately, but it can take a little longer if it's not absolute - we have to be fair in case it's a real poster with an opinion.

Hello everyone,

@ Cdaryl, what post/advert are your referring to, please  ?

Indeed, as Fred mentioned a spam post on bitcoin was removed from this thread as soon as we reviewed the thread..

i've been doing my usual morning round of world newspapers, and a recurring story popped up in one.

It was all about foreigners buying property in Bali - Sadly, the headline and reality don't match.

"Opportunities for Foreigners to Own Homes" was part of the headline, with a specific mention of Bali tossed in.

Many people see buying a home as an investment, something you can pass on to future generations after many happy years in your home, or something you can sell when you feel your time in this world is at a point where you need care and attention in a facility for sad old buggers, but this isn't that.

The commonly presumed investment in property is a nest-egg or whatever is in question as you need to know your investment is actually a time restricted lease and anything you build on the land can be lost at the end of it.

The upshot of the post is simple - watch out for people who tell the truth about investments, just not all of it.

This easy to find address commands an excellent view of the city and is very popular with members of the emergency services.

It comes with free heating and lighting for life, and has a water supply second to none.

Smoking is allowed.

Buying property in Bali may not be much of an investment, much as a good number of people who make money out of sales might well tell you it is.
