It's as easy as losing your shirt,
you show up with a pile of cash, hand it over 'et voila', you now have a property
If its legal or whether you get to keep the property is another thing entirely.
If you dot the i's and cross the t's you'll probably be alright.
Be aware, A foreigner cannot own property in Indonesia, in their name. It must be in an Indonesian's name. Same with motorbikes ans cars. Although, If you have the kitas or kitap visa, you can have vehicle's in your name. I don't know if this applies to property. Someone else on the forum, that is more knowledgeable can answer this question. Get a lawyer and contract in English! Be Careful.
Also there is a problem here with access. If you have to cross other people's property to get to yours, they will want money too. It can get very difficult to deal with these problems. Also there is the local Banjar, to deal with. As I said, other people on here, with more experience can clue you in.
