I am only focussing on these last two sentences of yours: "Also, I understand not buying property as an investor due to the low rental income. But was more concerned as someone who might live in BA long term." Here are my parameters for an example: $250K cash in your hand. More like in your...

There is a very sane reason the BLUE RATE is doing what it has been doing and will continue to do ... RISE! The blue rate is is a barometer of the financial system of Argentina. BLUE goes up ... confidence in the Argentine financial system goes down. Inverse ... BLUE down ... confidence up.

I bow out of this thread ... it is going in the wrong direction. Discussion of social interaction yes, beyond that, no.

Specifically responding to this post and your post prior to this post: Too deep / technical for me! In my mind, dating is what I defined it as. I don't want to take something that I view as simple and complicate it to kingdom come:-)) To me, it is sharing time together, doing something two...

Hi Alby, One definition with two sub definitions: #1) Two people who set time aside to spend with each other doing something they both enjoy in a leisurely manner or setting. A) As friends ... PLATONIC ... no intent of sexual interaction. B) Sexual interaction is very much on the table as a...

I always believed in ownership of your primary place to live. But in this ever changing world and particularly in a place like Argentina, regardless of how long you plan to be here, renting is simply the very best thing to do. The market is very overpriced relative to economic opportunity and...

People (Men and women) are more or less the same everywhere you go. I truly see no major differences in Argentines with respect to dating and intimacy. Most everyone wants to fit in, to belong, to love and be loved. It's all pretty universal in nature. You generally get what you give in a...

Ohhhhh, I don't think my guess would be off target!

Greg, You nailed it! EE UU ... 20 % down (avoids PMI) ultra low, fixed interest rate in a stable economy ... boringly stable. Argentina ... pay in full, tie up your money, highly illiquid and returns nothing as a rental. That's a dud of a finical transaction. I don't care how much money you...

And when you do want to sell, your RE agent will serve themselves and your buyer will be looking to do a trade of something they possess along with some cash. In a word ... NUTTY!

RE in BA population centers is very overpriced if you ask me. Better value to rent. No liquidity when it comes time to sell.

Yeah, That's what I thought he meant, but like I said, I am not good at this kind of stuff. Alpinista, Please understand I believe in being a good citizen. Anything less, looks wrong to me. I understand no laws are being broken, just a moral code at best. From my point of view, everyone needs...

Red, Define the metaphor please. (I have my limitations, I am not good at this kind of stuff.)

GREAT ADVICE and REASONING. Argentina's financial system is NOT TO BE TRUSTED under any circumstance one can imagine. Couple the previous statement with their propensity for ruinous financial recidivism and you have a near perfect guarantee of impending disaster.

You are straddling the line of being opportunistic / dishonest, but good for you if you like what you see in the mirror

I have a generator. I don't use it much, if ever, but is a comfort and an insurance policy all in one.

Agree. I have seen some very sorry attempts. I have seen some great quality from amateurs as well.

All the how to stuff on YOU TUBE is competing for the audience as well.

And I think you did a good and thorough job. Anything that can be done remotely is certainly in play. Some people can make an awful lot of money with #9 if they are okay with it. I look at it as a form of self betrayal.

I think the poster did!
