Apartments in Jakarta continue to be very reasonably priced, at around US$ 1,500 per square metre.  They also earn exceptionally good rental yields, at from 10% to 13%.  The disadvantage of buying in Jakarta is complex legalities and high transaction costs. 

Villas on Bali are also attractively priced.   On Bali, lower rental yields can be earned, at around 5% to 7%. 

Indonesia’s laws on foreign ownership were expected to be relaxed this year, but that now appears unlikely.
