- A $139k villa at ~12% net returns ≈$17k a year — a second deposit in ~2–3 years.
- Off-plan repricing (+15–30%) accelerates the cycle if you rotate equity.
- DOMA investors get first access to new projects before public sales.
- Two-three compact villas beat one expensive one on risk and rentability.
The most common second purchase in our books is not an upgrade — it is a repeat: the same compact Ubud unit, bought with the first villa's payouts. Portfolio building here is arithmetic, not magic. Here is the loop.
The compounding loop
Villa one nets ≈$17,000 a year (the math). In two-plus years that is a 30% first payment on villa two — which then builds while villa one keeps paying. Faster variant: sell villa one after delivery repricing (+15–30%) and roll the equity into two off-plan units. Ten-year outcomes differ dramatically from the single-villa path.
Why repeat buyers get better economics
Existing investors hear about new DOMA projects before public sales — the earliest prices in each project's life. Documents and payment rails are already set up; the second deal takes days, not weeks. And a two-villa portfolio smooths occupancy seasons that a single unit feels fully.
FAQ
Should villa two be bigger?
Not necessarily — 1–2BR units have the deepest guest demand in Ubud; two compact villas usually out-earn one large.
Can I mix locations?
Yes; many owners pair Ubud yield with a coastal or Dubai asset — see the portfolio guide.
Does DOMA discount repeat buyers?
Early access to pre-public prices is the structural advantage; commercial terms are discussed per project.
