I'm looking to rent an apartment. Not just a vacation rental, but a real contract. My colleague is able to provide the guarantee, so that main hurdle is out of the way, but now my issues are these:
-I speak very little Spanish. Enough to ask basic questions, get necessary information, etc., but not enough to fluently converse with agents without them flagging me as "clueless sucker"
-I'm living on an expired visa, not sure if/how much of an impact this will have.
-I'm living on a fairly modest salary, $9k/month, and am looking for something less than $4k/month. I do have a fair amount of money saved up in the US, in case I needed to make a large downpayment.
-I work in Munro, but I really, REALLY don't want to move into provincia. If I were to live somewhere close to one of the Belgrano Norte stations, I could get to work in under half an hour. These stations are in Retiro, Palermo Chico, and Belgrano by the stadium.
Anyone have ideas for how I should proceed? So far, I've just been looking at listings that show up on clarin, zonaprop, mercadolibre, etc, but considering that I have to have my coworkers help me every step of the way, it's slow going. Most of the places we call tend to be already reserved.
