    New risk of expulsion for foreigners

    I'm sure they're data scraping our profiles as we speak...pray that Milei grant you clemency if you've ever disparaged an empanada.

    New risk of expulsion for foreigners

    For those of you who don't regularly follow the news and think that having citizenship is unnecessary after residency, I present the latest (bound to be thrown out by the courts) presidential decree: "The Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU), signed by President Milei and published shortly...

    Rentista on royalty income — has anyone actually done this?

    That's an interesting one... Royalties could certainly be passive though it depends whether you are actively working for Steam on new projects, which would show an active employer relationship. Frankly, seeing at this is your primary source of income, I'm struggling to see how any of this is...

    Rental Home Insurance

    I own 2 properties down here and I don't have insurance on either. I did have insurance on my home in Texas. In my opinion American homes are disasters waiting to happen. Wooden structures full of drywall mean that water, fire and termites can cause a lot of damage very rapidly. I have not found...

    Rental Home Insurance

    A sizeable portion of homeowners don't have any planos at all registered at the Municipality. I don't see what one has to do with the other. It's up to you to provide the insurance company with exactly what you want covered and for them to write a policy. You can even provide a layout and they...

    Argentina's suicide rate up 50% since 2020

    Suicide, like homelessness, is one of those socio-economic statistics that I consider very complex. There is no one single cause. There are fascinating studies of how farmers culling wolves to protect sheep caused proliferating deer populations to overgraze the riverbank plant life necessary to...

    Looking for a lawyer for neighbor dispute

    Yea, you're right Lanick, wail on your walls whenever the rules permit it. Baby napping next door? Screw 'em. Piano lessons downstairs? Dumb ass neighbor should have bought a house. It's not disrespectful at all. You've got communal living really figured out there. I'm sure a nice fat initial...

    Tax advice

    There's some conflicting statements in your comments: "I’ve got an extension to file in October." Why? If you are not filing tax returns? What's the taxable event? "I haven’t filed taxes in years mostly because my us income is under 5 grand x year." As Paige55 astutely mentioned, if your...

    Looking for a lawyer for neighbor dispute

    Mediation is the right word here. When I started construction on one of my properties (not a tower), I met with each neighbor around the property to see what concerns they had. Each requested I avoid touching certain shared walls, one complained about the lack of privacy from the second floor...

    Well, where do I start....

    No, what I mean is that based on your comments thus far it's my opinion that all of your assumptions of Argentine life in Buenos Aires thus far line up with reality and your expectations are likely to be reasonably met. What remains now are the logistics of your visit down here to confirm that...

    Well, where do I start....

    You're on the money. At this stage I would book the flight to confirm your assumptions, and stay long enough (if possible) to confirm them again after the honeymoon wears off.
