Questions about our reports
Where does the data come from?
Nightly rates, occupancy and trends by area come from average revenue per listing (AirROI, trailing 12 months). The share of listings in agricultural and protected zones, and median prices, come from public for-sale listings. Property details come from developer price lists and presentations. Every model is a Rise Real Bali estimate, not an income guarantee.
Why are yields in your reports lower than in developer presentations?
Developers show gross yield. We subtract the management company, taxes, vacant nights and maintenance, about 40% of revenue, and show the net under three occupancy scenarios.
Can you model a specific property for me?
Yes, for free and before any deposit. Send a link or the project name on WhatsApp. We'll run it through the same model as our reports and point out which documents are missing.
