Don't use ARCA. I've been doing a lot of research over the past few months including reading the laws, speaking with the Consulate, and talking to folks who have done it. I called ARCA to check out their services because my situation is a bit peculiar. They asked me to send 3 documents. I...

Your Argentine friends may be able to help you secure a more favorable rate. If they can help you deal directly with landlords and negotiate on your behalf it should help...some. If you go through a real estate or property management company you will pay "gringo" rates, which are significantly...
