About
Guava Invest
Guava Invest is a private real estate investment advisory operating across international markets, with a primary focus on Bali. Founded by active investors who deploy their own capital alongside clients, the firm functions as a rigorous filter - approving only 1 - 5% of evaluated opportunities through a multi-stage process of legal, financial, and technical verification. Rather than selling properties, Guava Invest selects them for shared participation.
Guava Invest was established to address a structural gap in international real estate advisory: the persistent conflict of interest between advisor compensation and client outcomes. In a market where most advisory models are funded by developers - incentivising volume over quality - the firm operates on a fundamentally different foundation.
The defining principle is capital alignment. The founders invest in the same assets they recommend, creating shared exposure and making every recommendation a reflection of their own financial judgment. This removes developer-driven incentives and replaces them with a model measured by outcome, not transaction.
The firm's core process is selection. In markets where opportunity is presented in excess and noise significantly outweighs signal, Guava Invest applies a multi-stage evaluation - encompassing legal due diligence, financial modelling, developer credibility assessment, and technical verification - to eliminate the vast majority of available projects. Only 1 - 5% of opportunities pass. What remains is a small, qualified portfolio where every asset is positioned not simply as available, but as appropriate for capital allocation.
Operational focus is Bali - one of the most active and structurally evolving real estate investment destinations globally - where the firm's direct market involvement provides access to developers, projects, and on-the-ground realities beyond publicly available channels. Additional markets, including Batumi, are evaluated through the same disciplined framework, approached through long-term positioning rather than short-term trend.
Design Philosophy & Values
Guava Invest is built on three principles: alignment, selection, and discipline. Every aspect of the model - fee structure, portfolio curation, client process - flows from a commitment to removing conflict from the advisory relationship. The firm is not compensated by developers. It is measured by the quality of its decisions and the outcomes they produce for clients and founders alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
Guava Invest is a private real estate investment advisory that operates as a curated filter rather than a traditional broker. Rather than presenting available properties for sale, the firm applies a strict multi-stage evaluation - legal, financial, and technical - to approve only 1 - 5% of opportunities. Critically, the founders invest their own capital in the same assets they recommend, creating direct alignment between advisor and client outcomes.
Guava Invest's primary focus is Bali, Indonesia - one of the most active international real estate investment destinations - where direct market involvement provides access to off-market and early-stage opportunities beyond public channels. The firm also evaluates additional markets including Batumi, Georgia, applying the same disciplined selection framework to each.
Yes. Over 95% of transactions are completed remotely. The advisory is structured for international investors who acquire assets without physical presence in the country of purchase. Legal, financial, and operational coordination is managed centrally across jurisdictions, with detailed presentations and financial models provided for full transparency.
Returns depend on strategy. Rental-focused investments in the firm's curated portfolio typically generate 6 - 12% annually. Resale-oriented strategies may achieve higher returns depending on entry timing and market conditions. Each opportunity is modelled individually and presented with documented income potential and exit scenarios.
Guava Invest operates exclusively in the client's interest by design. Accepting developer compensation - the standard model in most real estate brokerage - creates an incentive to recommend what is profitable to sell rather than what is appropriate to buy. The firm's fee-based structure removes this conflict, ensuring that every selection is made purely on the basis of investment merit, legal soundness, and long-term viability.
