We're missing important facts to assist you: 1) Do you have a contract for this unit? What is the language of that contract regarding the condition the unit needs to be returned to? 2) Do you have a security deposit? What amount was it, what currency? Do damages exceed the value of your deposit?

Not just villas. The property I recently purchased in Neuquen was previously owned by a judge here. When my electrician came in to change the wiring he found an illegal service connection bypassing the meter. The whole country celebrates this kind of "Viveza Criolla".

I can't speak of CABA, but this has not been my experience in Neuquen Capital. Private developers can purchase a large area and pre-sell the subdivided lots "en pozo". This initial injection can fund the services installation. However, when a municipality puts up the public land for individual...

The limitations should be available online. It's my understanding that it's individual to each prospectus and not necessarily entire categories. That being said, Merril Lynch threatened to close all my IRA accounts once they found out. They never did in the end, but I transferred the money to...

Not just the villa. My suegro lives in a small town in San Luis and inherited a lot of undeveloped land. When my wife (his daughter) inquired to the municipality to convert some of the land into a residential barrio, they explained that they couldn't afford to put in any new services because...

In accounting inventory there's something called FIFO (First in, First Out) which is used for perishable goods to ensure older inventory is used first. The costs basis of older inventory is naturally at a market price that isn't today. What am I trying to say? Prices are sticky because of raw...

Expats have been disproportionately affected the appreciating peso and I don't think you will get a whole lot of cheers regarding that. That being said, the last vote turn out reflects the number of people who wish to continue this road of fiscal constraints or not. I think that speaks more...

Ah okay, I must have forgotten that little detail about reversing the transaction currency. Thank you folks!

Howdy Y'all, Anybody getting a discrepancy with the rate the Mastercard website is reporting on their foreign exchange rate page vs what's actually being charged to your Mastercard statement? I haven't been tracking it closely, but I'm now finding constant discrepancies on previous charges...

Though there are both, I would caution that it depends on your needs. If you are looking for a daily housekeeper that will have a set of keys and enter when you are not home, you may want to consider hiring an individual. A company may send whoever is available that day and personally I would...

It entirely depends on what car model you choose and the risk profile of the location it will be stored. I have a 2023 Fiat Cronos, which is an economical sedan, parked on a quiet street in Neuquen with full coverage. It costs me $101 per month. According to my neighbor, who has lived here all...

We pay $9,000 an hour here in Neuquen, 14 hours a week. Our housekeeper has another family paying $7,000 an hour for daily visits and she has another client paying $14,000 an hour (once a week). Rates vary widely it seems.

This is exactly what I have seen many Argentines complaining about. If Argentine factories are allowed to simply rebrand finished imports with an absurd margin in a cornered market then consumers should be allowed to import them directly too. Even among products where 90% of the product assembly...

Fascinating article Paige... On a similar note, I recall listening to a researcher many moons ago talk about that when the Automatic Dishwasher was invented it was initially thought the time savings would be an enormous help in enhancing quality family time. However, this researcher found among...

"Rofman, meanwhile, believes that the key to solve this issue is for the decreasing number of workers to be more productive — not by working more, but rather by being more efficient. This, he said, can be reached by improving their working conditions and skills: more education, better...

It's a fascinating subject really... The restriction of imports should be a temporary policy to protect infant industries until they can compete, protect national security industries such as weapons, or prevent aggressive dumping practices used to wipe out competitors. The permanent application...

It's a vicious circle of tax evasion that has ARCA constantly trying to figure out how to tax the front-end of the production cycle because it knows you're going to lie about the back-end numbers. Take for example the whole black market employee situation. This is probably one of the easiest...

I've heard that there are many eviction cases that the PJ party essentially ignored that are finally being processed under Milei and that this could be reflected in the growing percentage of homeless. I'm not sure where the stats on that would be though.

A lot of businesses were speculating by front-running inflation to drive up margins. Customers were generally lost on what relative pricing was and were so busy trying to buy everything before their salary devalued that they weren't aware. Now that prices are relatively stable and margins...

One has to wonder...if an Argentine buys clothes in China with $100,000 pesos, did money really flow out of the country? Did the china man take a textile worker's money? The china man sold his clothes to the Argentine but now has a $100,000 pesos to get rid of. What can he do with it? He must...
