The other day, I looked at a top floor, 3-bedroom in Recoleta. Condition was fair, it would need a remodel and the kitchen was stupid. One bedroom was nice, the other two were yawners. I almost lost my lunch when the agent said $530K. Here is how I value a property, or any asset for that...

Given what the above posters are saying (especially Steve), all of whom have local real estate experience, your counterparties are rats. The problem with dishonest Argentines is that they are better at the game than foreigners. They can deceive you better than you can detect their deception...

The real estate market here is populated by local professionals who deceive, rob, extort and lie to foreigners for sport. You will be best served if you assume that every real estate "professional" you interact with is trying to dishonestly screw you. If you make that assumption, you will be...

I had a flight scheduled to depart Argentina on exactly my 90th day here. My airline informed me that my connecting flight was cancelled. The airline has offered to pushback my flight by one day, free of charge. The flight is scheduled to take off at 12:30 am on March 25. My 90th day here is...

I am very sorry to hear about this unfortunate occurance, Jantango. If I can help in any way, PM me.

How much for both duffles? In other words, is there a deal on the two?

This thread is pretty old. Has this situation changed? Are solar panels/solar sourced home electric system possible in BA?

My cueva is at 38.2, buying dollars and selling me pesos. My bank is at 36. I'm not sure about casa de cambio. If you live in Centro and have more than $1K US to change, my cueva delivers. If I can help, PM me.

If you buy one overseas, i.e. anywhere but Argentina, you can likely sell it later for the same price you paid. This benefits you and it benefits a buyer as you provide a fair price for a higher quality product than is available locally.

Exactly as Dr. Rubilar said. He just said it more articulately than me. Nowhere in Decree 616/2010 does it say that by leaving Argentina you get a new 90 day visa. Perhaps Argentina is doing this in practice, but such practice is not codified in the law. Decree 616/2010 says that tourists get...

It appears there are two discrepancies. First, Dr. Rubilar is saying Decree 616/2010 is contrary to the Constitution. In other words, if Cristina wanted to alter the immigration law in accordance with Decree 616/2010, she needed to change the National Constitution. Second, Articulo 24(a) says...

How could one still be irregular after leaving the country of Argentina legitimately? What is the criteria for leaving Argentina to become regular again? I read decree 616/2016 and I didn't find anything related to immigration. Where might I find more info?

The commissions in Capital are ludicrous and they aren't worth paying because the most of the agents are immoral thieves. They will say anything to rent you an apartment. Check out craigslist (if the listing doesn't mention a comision, it is likely the owner, and some listings say explicitly...

In a previous post, you mentioned that you overstayed the 90-day limit and planned to return to Argentina. What happened upon your return?

Speaking of 90 days, I have to visit Uruguay so I don't exceed the tourist visa. Question: can I take Seacat at 8:15 am, arrive at Colonia at 9:15 am and turn around, coming right back at 10:16 am - same day? This sounds a bit obvious that one just seeks a passport stamp to extend a duration...

Sounds like the customs officer at the ferry was looking to improve his weekend parrilla with an easy $2.500 pesos!

I am looking for an honest, reliable, competent cell phone repair person. Does anyone have a lead? Please do not respond, "Go down to Lavalle," or any derivative thereof. I am looking for a cell phone repair person that you have used in the past, who has competently repaired your phone and...

Argentinas gone wild.

Funniest nonsense ever. "We want the animals to live in peace, so we commit acts of vandalism against property and make threats of violence against employees and patrons." I'm gonna go eat a steak and a pizza.

Does anyone know where to get good butter in Capital? The stuff at the regular stores and markets is darn awful. Thanks.
