Most house vacant ads are posted on trees or villa gates. Bali Advertiser is mainly for top end expensive villas.
By driving around you are dealing directly with the owner not some agent who has already inflated the price.
Negotiate directly with the owner. Do not let the driver or your local "friend" do the negotiations. They will increase the price at between 10 and 30 percent.
In most cases you will be asked to pay the lease up front.
