    Trouble finding contratistas / planners ?

    I only have my own experience to go by. However, due mainly to problems with property "managers", I would not recommend people be absentee landlords in Buenos Aires, unless they have a lot of confidence in some one who can manage their properties. Property managers are not generally good, but I...

    My apartment became vacant nearly 4 months ago. I want to do some upgrading and repairs. Nothing major. So far, my property manager has unable to get a contractor who´ll show up and follow through with a presupuesta, let alone get plans drawn. Is this normal in B Aires now ? I would have...

    Is airbnb like the only way to get a rental now?

    I find so many are paying those prices in order to be in Palermo. There are some very reasonable rents, but perhaps not in prime Palermo.

    Good property manager ?

    Sorry to ask again, but I´d be most grateful for recommendations for an English speaking, licensed agent who is a property manager. I truly appreciate that several of you shared good experiences you´d had with a certain agent. For some reason, he is not giving me good service at all (and I´ve...

    Good Property Manager ?

    Thanks to those who sent me messages. I realize most property managers are not good in most places. But I am puzzled why licensed realtors who are property managers are so nonchalant about pleasing clients. Most don`t seem concerned about potential commissions when the property is sold in...

    Good Property Manager ?

    I am hoping to find a good, bi-lingual property manager for my rental properties in Capital Federal. I know what a good property manager should do, but this guy, though popular, does not look out for my interests. If possible, I prefer some one who`s a licensed real estate agent. Thanks !
