Thank you.

My property manager tells me the consorcio perhaps could revoke my right to rent my unit out short term. I am not sure what to think as he sometimes says odd things. The original documents for the condo don´t prohibit short term rentals, so in theory I should be able to. My property manager...

In some cases, the problem may be difficulty in finding tradespeople willing to do the job. This year, from what I´m seeing, it can take a long time to find some one. I am told workers have a social plan and many do not want to work.

I once had an awful flood in an apartment I owned, for years. When I saw the large amount of damage the flood was causing in my place, I had my property manager ask what the cost to repair it would be. It was not a large amount. I got the consorcio to agree to repair the flood, by offering to...

Has anyone by chance heard which party would have won the most "seats" (correct term?) if yesterday´s election had been the real deal ? Thanks. I know Libertarians won the most provinces, but not Buenos Aires Province, nor city. I know those have a lot of "seats" (?) but I did not see how many.

Thanks for taking time to reply ! I can relax now !

Some day I would like to sell my Argentine property. I don´t live in Argentina, nor do my heirs. I hear there will likely be a problem getting my money out. Can anyone please enlighten me about this - or at least what the current situation is ? (Sorry, I searched and Googled this but could not...

s Some other cities have similar situations. In Toronto, Canada, typical mortgage payments for a stand alone house would exceed the total income of a typical household. The market is slow, prices are a bit soft, but the real estate market continues to function.

A reputable contractor who is available to work.

A competent, bi-lingual honest, property manager who´s a licensed salesman.

If I can help some one in this group, I´m happy as I´ve gotten a lot of help from you people.

At this point in time, B Aires has over 40% living in poverty. I feel Buenos Aires is a middle class city currently in a depression

I am calling it a tie. Both cities have many first world attributes, though it varies a lot by area. The aspect which I personally feel is 3rd world by Buenos Aires is the high level of dishonesty in business and government. Even many very affluent people chase away future business in order to...

I find a ceiling fan keeps mosquitoes away from me - but some people are more attractive to mosquitoes than other people are.

Uruguay is certainly safer than most of Brazil.

If you don´t mind a small city, I think Colonia is pleasant. It is also convenient to Buenos Aires.

I don´t know barrio cerrados, but you might ask how safe - or isolated - the area around the barrio cerrado is. After the 2002 crash, some people moved to barrio cerrados from expensive areas of Capital Federal, only to return. The problem was that some people driving out of the barrio cerrados...

But living close to Champagnat (large almost all male high school in Recoleta) is very safe.

Thanks for that informative reply. In my case, the property manager seems good at getting intercoms, or leaky faucets, ec. fixed. It is too bad about the shortage of good contractors though.
