For example, you agree to buy a property in BA for an agreed upon price. The owner then asks you to reduce the sale price in your property title. The owner pays taxes on the sale at the stated price in the legal documents. Then 15 years later, you decide to sell the property. Obviously, the...

Our last three administrators did not list unpaid bills on the monthly liquidations. Our current one is an accountant and provides full disclosure on all our debts. The consorcio has enormous debt that was not disclosed to the new owners. Several of the units have not paid their monthly...

Your comment makes the post all worthwhile. Discuss the topic with your escribano who will be in charge of preparing the property title. Of course, the actual sale price should be stated correctly in the property title. If they want to have the price documented as $130K, then that is the...

I rented a unit for three years before the owner decided to sell it. I decided to buy the unit in 2005. I went into the process blind. I obtained a CDI and transferred payment from my US bank to hers. She asked if she could reduce the purchase price represented in the title. I had no...

Do it yourself at home. Buy rubber gloves, mild liquid detergent, alcohol vinegar for rinsing and some clothes pins. Hang the clothes in the shower or out on the patio or balcony in the afternoon sun that dries them quickly for free. Water is more expensive these days. I take only sheets and...

You won't know if you will be comfortable in an apartment until you give it a try for a few months. Don't be in a rush to pay for a year's stay in advance. The neighbors might drive you crazy, etc. and you will be stuck with it. Temporary rentals usually charge in dollars and all expenses...

I spotted Heinz pickle relish today at Club Saludable on Av. Callao and Cordoba for $11,000+ for a 12 oz jar, right next to the Heinz ketchup.

Why not simplify your life by using an Uber and eliminate the expense for gasoline and parking? Rush hour traffic looks like parking lots.

I mailed my ballot only two days after receiving it. It seems that they are discouraging us from voting, as if it's a waste of time. How could anyone return a ballot earlier?

Today's email from the US Embassy regarding voting indicates that I wasted my time and money voting, but I still have hope that mine will be counted. Returning your ballot by international mail. If using Correo Argentino's postal system, be sure to include sufficient international postage, and...

During a previous election, I delivered my ballot to the US Embassy which never arrived to be counted. I am interested in knowing how a bag of mail from the US Embassy is handled between Argentina and the US. It is definitely not the best way to insure that ballots arrive before an election.

Faxing the ballot does not allowe

I mailed my ballot today with Correo Argentino in a hand-addressed envelope. Two envelopes. one containing the ballot verification form, and a smaller one containing my ballot weighed in at 15 grams for a cost of $7.500ARS for a simple handling that is estimated to take two weeks for delivery...

It is likely that every county in every state has their own way of managing election ballots. Lake County, Illinois, provides a BALLOT CERTIFICATION form that requires the voter's signature accompanying the ballot. My name and former address are printed on the form.

Here is the experience of an overseas citizen who votes in Ohio. Today I feel compelled to share my experience of sending in my absentee ballot for the US Presidential election of November 5. As many of you know, I have dual citizenship (Dutch, US) and, as a US citizen, I am registered to vote...

Unfortunately, Illinois accepts ballots only by mail and not by email. I plan on buying an envelope, addressing it by hand to the county clerk, take it to the post office and pay the postage, and then hope it arrives on time to be counted.

Illinois sent me a friendly reminder to complete the voter registration and absentee ballot request in February. Today I received my ballot for the general election which has to be mailed. Finding a #10 envelope and having it printed with the mailing information is a challenge. The US postal...

I took a bus tonight from CCK to Moreno & Alberti. The driver charged me the fare for 3-6 km which is $413.44. Drivers don't have any system that calculates the actual distance before charging the fare, so they just guess the distance and charge accordingly. I checked the Como Llego map for...

Fare increases are occurring so often this year that it's hard to keep track of them. Of course the SUBE card means you pay whatever the driver indicates on the box where you place your card. Since I didn't know about the fare increase that went into effect this month, I decided to...
