I left last month and can’t resonate with any of this post besides that petty theft is extremely common and I’m sure that’s nothing new

I have seen those. However, I don't think that we are the only two to know about them. If they point a gun at you, you empty your pockets... and sockets!

Is this in reference to Argentina or the US? Our sellers were from the US selling their vacation pad, and I was surprised to hear that they wanted part payment in cash. I supposed it was to pay less capital gain taxes in the US. They bought during the golden era of 2007, so they made a lot of...

The conveyance deed was signed right after I wired the money at the Escribano office, but the paperwork was left at the escribano's. He took the subsequent step (registration of the deed at the Colegio de Escribanos) once the sellers had confirmed that the money was credited on their account...

My verdulero went to pick up some cash from his bank branch. Small money to us - in pesos, equivalent to 1500 USD; to him, one third of all his savings in the bank. The bank teller "marked" him, he was followed to his home while he drove 5 blocks by car, and they stole the money from him. I...

I don't feel comfortable walking around with a bag of money to go to the Colegio de Escribanos. If the seller wants Ben bills, they can meet me where I say and then it is their business how they bring the money away safely. My first property was paid by bank transfer abroad, sellers were...

In our case its usually under $10,000, and mostly food items.

Yes paying cash, most of the times under $10,000.

Why do some stores (Coto) insist on providing a passport number if you don't have the DNI? My wife and I have been here for 3 months and have discovered not have your DNI can certainly snag you up.

Four seasons has a pool and allow their Spa guests to use the pool for the day. So you can try them.

It looks like they offer good returns. I'm not sure though if the returns they are calculating take inflation into consideration.

Has anyone by chance looked into crowdfunded Argentine real estate via Crowdium? It's like Fundrise for the US. If you did, please share what you learned. I just found out about them today.

Yes, real estate price is flat

I am puzzled by "dollar stagnant against the peso" part. Why on earth it's still 15:1 ? This makes the locals buy real estate easier. Peso is not worth sh*t, and for 15 pesos, you can get 1 dollar. If you have a peso income that adjusts to the inflation, then real estate becomes cheaper.
