I am outside Argentina and want to pay for work being done. My bank account in Argentina, unfortunately is not set up to receive transfers from abroad. I am finding no one wants to receive money transfers or Paypal payments, either as payment for their work, or in their role as property...

Personally, a large part of my concern is whether taxis or Uber is better at policing themselves. (Caveat: I think any business should obey tax laws and any other laws.)

Canada also offers the choice of less expensive milk in bags - or in more expensive cartons.

This link might raise more questions than it answers, but I hope it might be of interest to some of you. It seems the city provides financial assistance (a loan, I think, but not sure) for owners when the entire facade of a building in the "Casco Historico" is restored. Anyone interested...

Can anyone please recommend a good, reasonably priced contractor to fix the facade and balconies of an historic apartment (not, it´s not a condo). While the 2 contractors I´ve received bids from seem well qualified, one wouldn´t give a guaranteed price and was expensive. The other gave a...

My guess about Donald has Narcisstic Personality Disorder (which isn´t the same as simply being narcissistic.) Any other thoughts ?

That sounds like Justin Trudeau´s Canada

Nikad and all, my property manager said he´s used the new consumer proptection system with good results, but didn´t think it´s for complaints against small companies. (I guess the company that ripped me off has perhaps 100 employees, but that´s a shot in the dark. They make and sell floor...

Is it common for a property manager to charge the owner, only by the square meter ? If the property manager gets a guaranteed flat fee, he has little incentive to do the necessary things to get a good rental return. I´d prefer a property manager to get paid based on a % of the rent, or some...

There´s a precedent: Carlos Menem dropping out ot the election for president when he ran against Nestor Kirchner. As I recall, Menem said the election wasn´t going to be fair, so he´d drop out.

I´ve been through Heathrow and airports in many countries. US are the worst I´ve encountered because a % of the immigration officials are sadistic (I´m not referring to the people who scan passengers and luggage). I´m referring to the characters who´ve illegally sent Canadians to a third country...

You are right about some language schools charging high rents. I own a space that was rented to "COINED" language school. They marked the rents up a lot. Their shell company (last I heared "COINED" is just a name invented for internet, which is legal) still owes me rent from 2012. The director...

An interesting article on Afroargentines and their history. About 150 years ago, there was a black shanty district on Avenida Callao, somewhere near Corrientes. It appears they were pushed out by the expanding city. The erased protagonists: Afroargentines and the whitewashing of history |...

Thanks for the link Gracielle ! When this started, years back, there was a mediation session, but lawyers were present. I was shocked that there was no penalty for perjury at those sessions ! I will look into this. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and suggestions !

Thanks for your input again Nikad ! I had hoped that with a property manager and lawyer, things should get done. How naive I was back then ! I´ll look into your suggestion very seriously. Thanks again !

Interesting Miami Herald article about the confusing connection between former Argentine higher ups and Miami real estate: http://www.miamihera...le90028812.html

I wouldn´t risk dealing with COINED, only because they still owe rent from 2012 for space they used (albeit it was rented under a different financial entity connnected closely to COINED.)

I would greatly appreciate any opinions about a law suit that´s gone on 13 years and hasn´t really gotten to the main hearing yet. Is this common in Argentina ? My first lawyer slowed things down a bit by colluding with the other party and stealing my money. I had been contacting the lawyer...

I hate to be harsh but Spain has to send major tax evaders like Messi to jail (as they´re doing.) I hope Argentina will do the same to people who play shell games with corporations to avoid paying debts the courts have ordered them to pay. "I have no assets, so I can´t pay, but I run the major...

I´d love to see drones for people hiding to avoid paying debts. I know -- I´m dreaming.
