I treat them as if they’re my doorman in my building in NYC. And they greatly appreciate it.

Agree! I was just referring to companies/brands not having any competition at all due to protectionism. Of course it is not the ideal FDI but I was just trying to say the previous system was not growth oriented at all. Also the system made it almost impossible to export. A nation should export...

I personally know a few global brands already started checking out retail properties. 10 years?? Maybe 10 months! :-) All they needed was removing this official rate.

Previous system made people and businesses lazy. Subsidised utilities and no competition at all. Now anyone can import anything as they like. Wait till H&M and IKEA arrives at these shores with the employment opportunities as well as the competition. Local businesses will either up their games...

In Argentina things are very different. Used to be a wealthy nation and still there are many wealthy people and they don’t rely on the income from from their businesses. They don’t care if you don’t buy. They don’t care losing your business. They put it in the warehouse and wait. Different...

When buying a house here you will have to deal with all these things as well but the only difference; you can’t pack up and leave this time. It’s yours. If you got a steady income on USD, Euros or GBP then you can pretty much rent anywhere you can afford and should you have any such problems...

Basically they’re scrapping the official rate. Nobody lived with the official rate therefore not much effect. Cambios will go out of business for sure. This will affect the exports in a positive way.

I’m not saying don’t live in Argentina. Actually you should. I was just saying don’t buy in Argentina where you can rent a better place with the rental income you get from your property in the US. I didn’t even tell you to buy in FL but just referred to Argentines who do. And do whatever you...

Why are you buying in Argentina? People in Argentina selling their properties and buying in FL and renting in BsAs.

Wait a little more till Milei fully implements his liberal policies. You’ll just transfer your money from your bank to Argentina. These practices will disappear soon.

Just to remind you; once I got quoted US$100 per session by a trainer in BsAs. Some do have gringo prices.

I was working out with Ivan at SmartFit in Las Canitas. He was great but moved abroad. I was paying $US 5-6 per session. I was doing 5 days/week. BsAs is a heaven if you need any sort of coach. My tennis coach charges less than $10. Depending on what you need, for example not all can help with...

I’m very glad to hear that. But never heard of that before. How does that work?

Something that amazes me about Argentina; my mother in law had a brain surgery a few month back. A tumor removed. She checked in on Monday and walking home on Friday. Apart from having the talented doctors and the technology, nobody was talking about any money. It was not a concern at all. This...

Dollars might seem the way to go initially but many Argentines being also an EU citizen, there’s a lot of demand for the Euros as well. Not on a daily basis but quite frequently there’s Euro exchange happening in larger amounts. Converting euros to dollars before coming may not be that...

I think the party will be a lot more fun even though prices may go up noticeably. Still it’ll be way cheaper than the US or Europe but the quality of life will improve as the new system will force people to produce and export, there will be competition in the domestic market. Believe me...

Wıth the crazy inflation and the elections economics, property owners are resorting to short term rentals. My wife owns a 1 bed property and the demand is crazy. Don’t make the mistake of evaluating Argentina economy with the minimum wage. There’s a parallel economy, especially in BA, where...

I know people living in another SA country, they were happy but when they had visited BsAs, they were amazed at the life style BsAs offered and how much it would cost. They live in Belgrano now! :-). I don’t know any place on the planet where I can have my PT session in a fab gym in the morning...

Wife has a 1 bed flat in Collegiales. She had the flat done up recently. In a 24 hr doorman building with a massive pool, ok gym, club room, communal bbq area and a garden as well as a laundry in the building. Flat has a balcony with no buildings blocking the view and the light even tho it’s on...

Argentina absolutely not the cheapest or even cheap. Argentina is INEXPENSIVE!! Quality for much less. Great fine dining for a fraction of what it’d cost in the US or in Europe. World class tennis coaches, golf courses, equestrian, hobbies, arts & culture, medical care all available for much...
