François has been investing in real estate since 2012. In 2015, he founded Investissement Budapest.
That adds up to fourteen years in real estate, ten of them in Budapest before the move to Bali in 2022. In that time: around sixty renovations carried out from start to finish, fifty-four completed transactions, and a similar number of properties managed for investors, mostly French-speaking.
Internal figures cumulated over the Budapest activity, 2015 to 2025. Capital deployed: acquisition value of properties sourced for our investors.
The job, in practice: choosing the right property, showing up on site more often than strictly necessary, knowing when to walk away from a deal that doesn't tick every box even under time pressure, and never quoting a return that can't be explained line by line. That discipline hasn't changed in ten years. Only the ground has.
Since 2022, most of this activity has continued in Bali, with Bee My Guest. The reasons behind that choice are explained plainly in our story.
We still review a limited number of well-defined Budapest cases, where the direction is already clear.
Same method, different ground.
