Booking airline tickets in advance can be a mistake In August we booked 4 tickets on United from the USA to Argentina, leaving late March returning early April. No change fees, but we have one year to use the tickets. Starting to think this was a big mistake as I see COVID getting worse in...

We have a studio near Juncal and Callao and really like the area, but my wife's family lives in Belgrano. In retirement the plan is to live in BA four months a year, Maybe short term rent a little if it is worth it. Would like fresh pasta shops, local coffee shops or Starbucks, etc. fairly...

Looking for opinions on the nicest street to buy a condo on in or near Belgrano, one with good trees, cobblestone, Starbucks, etc. nearby and limited traffic? I kind of like Olleros, but sister in law says too much traffic. Thanks!

I live in the US with my Argentine wife, we own a property in BA, our plan in retirement is to live in BA 3-6 months a year. I assume this does not affect us because will won't be full time residents of Argentina? What is the criteria to be considered a resident?

The private school is Colegio Las Victorias. And a public school near Plaza San Martin is Escuela Guillermo Rawson

You might consider Gualeguaychu. Has some natural beauty along the river. Somewhat popular for Argentina tourists as it hosts Carnival in February and others come for the river beach and activities. Easy access to Uruguay. 3 hour drive to BA. Inexpensive. No foreign community to speak of. Won't...

My niece went there and did well, but my nephews went and were begging to get out. Heard a similar story from a friend regarding the daughter doing well and the boy wanting out by middle school. My two nephews ended up going to Colegio Nactional Buenos Aires which is downtown and had to do the...

If things get really bad you are going to want the major country silver one ounce coins as well. Better for transactions and making change if your gold one ounce coins become worth $5000 plus each.

We own a small place in a nice older building in Barrio Norte and last time we were there (xmas 2019) we looked at a 2 bedroom listed at 219,000 being sold my an Argentine living in NYC. We just found out it sold for $120k. Found this a bit shocking. Surely this is a one off or has the market...

My kids ages 10 and 11 took lessons at VOS. On a previous visit we also went to a school near Plaza Italia, but that school has closed. https://vosbuenosaires.com. My kids were also able to join a basketball group at El Poli in Belgrano

We had our son (age 10) play basketball at El Polio in Belgrano, twice a week he was able to practice with a group, not super well organized but a nice chance to play with some local kids. We were there for 5 weeks in December/January, so not the best time to join a team.

My wife did this but it was several years ago. The Student Doctor Network might be a better place to post this question, there is a section for IMGs.

Does this sound familiar? You hand the taxi driver a $500 peso note. He looks for change, says do you “do you have something smaller” and gives you back a fake $500. Or he takes the bill and returns a fake bill with a ripped corner. Saying he can’t take it because it is damaged. Pretty sure I...

Perfect!- thank you!

Any suggestions were I can find a large reasonably priced picture, map, painting (framed or not), for a wall in my apartment? Thanks!

Sorry asked this question before but our housing Belgrano plans changed from Belgrano to Barrio Norte...any help appreciated.!

The tax advantages stay the same as if the account held stocks and bonds. Transferring the funds to a self directed IRA allows me to buy a property with appreciated assets without paying the taxes to liquidate it first. Property appreciation, obviously, and rent payments go back (stay) in the...
