    I feel like a real estate purchase is pretty much a gamble here...

    this makes sense to me because based on much cheaper current labor costs and relatively cheap building materials the prices are stubbornly high and sellers are holding off hoping for a turn around, i almost want to call it ignorant-optimism, plus to add the inevitable dry up of funds when IMF...

    any certain indication of another devaluation coming prior to elections? or is this post-elections type of therapy much like it was in 2016?

    I feel like a real estate purchase is pretty much a gamble here...

    I agree that nobody is paying nothing and the country is slipping into a worse place since many months ago but where is the guarantee that the prices would be cheaper towards the end of the year or in 2020? can you see a better buyer's market coming? please provide details.

    I feel like a real estate purchase is pretty much a gamble here...

    Yes we asked but no concrete response so far, all they said that it is a sucesion, basically two brothers who had already supposedly finalized the papers and all but there is no evidence of this. Once we find our own escrow we'll simply let the realtor to communicate with our escrow about the...

    I feel like a real estate purchase is pretty much a gamble here...

    As far as i know there is an additional paperwork to file in case of an existing structure on the property even if it is no longer habitable or even if it's falling apart. if the land can be bought for much cheaper it would make sense for ARBA to have a lower value on it, unless ARBA changed...

    I feel like a real estate purchase is pretty much a gamble here...

    the money is not in blanco and since the actual value of most properties is well below the listed sales price we didn't think of this as having to be a problem and we still hope we won't be put through hoops by the escribano, unless the seller wants to declare the full purchase price to AFIP or...

    I feel like a real estate purchase is pretty much a gamble here...

    do most people pay and sign at their chosen escrow's office or at the bank? we haven't chosen an escrow yet and don't have a safe deposit at the bank either primarily because we don't know anything about those safe deposit boxes, if anyone can explain a bit, do they cost a lot to rent? what are...

    Okay and what about putting the money in a safe deposit box at a local bank? Would the escrow then show up at that bank with the seller to sign off all the documents and receive the money at the same time? or would the money have to be moved from the safe deposit to yet another location where we...

    Yes we are going to follow your advice for our safety, there is no reason why the seller cannot come to us, thanks again for the alert.

    I feel like a real estate purchase is pretty much a gamble here...

    they want us to use their own escribano supposedly because that's what the seller prefers and feels more comfortable with, but if the choice is ours legally then it definitely makes our life easier, we are scared to death having to travel for over an hour with cash in the realtor's car (we don't...

    I feel like a real estate purchase is pretty much a gamble here...

    @steveinbsas, @Jerbo thank you for your feedback, it is obvious now that we need to get our own escribano and skip the boleto since the campito un question is not occupied and there is no reason for us not to buy it out right if the papers can be put together on time. let's see what happens...

    I feel like a real estate purchase is pretty much a gamble here...

    My wife and I have found a nice little campito outside the city and made an offer on it through the local real estate office, now we are waiting for a response from the seller to see if we can agree on the price considering all the visible issues with it (from what we know thus far) but we...

    Residency Requirements for Citizenship

    Just walk around the villa with a thermos of hot water and a mate mug with one of those dirty bombillas and talk castellano loudly to trapitos across the street, preferably addressing them by "che ...." followed by affirmative body language don't ignore the remiseros either. Besides the social...

    Forbes: (Argentina) Economic activity is almost dead and inflation is not even near to be defeated," he

    I'm sorry but you do not see the point; People seem to have a problem with the term "average" when used in the context of an individual, it might have something to do with your idea of human rights or sense of ethics in general? No? All I wanted to do is be accurate here, quite the opposite...

    Did Trump save Venezuela?

    There is no doubt that the Russian society is not healthy and that the country is one of the most corrupt in the world, no one claims it to be great for quality living but they are stable politically and lets not forget how important that is. Contrary that had been said on here, I think they are...

    Forbes: (Argentina) Economic activity is almost dead and inflation is not even near to be defeated," he

    Have you not lived or traveled enough to tell the difference between an average Argentine and the rest of the world? Come on. And it's not necessarily the fault of a young Argentine to not have any work ethics today when they struggle to perform at a work place, is this why there is a law that...
