I am a bit surprised how quickly prices are jumping up. Even on some off plan pozo projects. For example, in this building in Palermo that won't be done until 2027 the prices are already over $5,000 per sq. meter which seems like they keep raising the prices every month. Just wow...

I don't think you should really be comparing pensions in Argentina with first world countries. Odds are people paid in a lot more into their pensions in these other countries vs. Argentina. From what some locals have told me, many of the lower and middle classes haven't really paid that much in...

On the Google Reviews it's very poor rating. Only 3.8 which is a very bad score for Google so may want to check out the reviews. I have not eaten here before. I would probably check it out for that low price.

Thanks, everyone. Very helpful. Doubtful that I will get a car here but I guess one never knows. Worst case scenario it sounds like I could easily rent it out each month and make some extra cash and values on it probably will go up so I may add that option. Thanks.

Another question. I see some buildings sell garage spaces. I am not sure I will need a car here but in case I do buy a car if I don't buy a private parking space, how much is it to rent a space in a building? Does anyone know how much the rent is? To buy them I am seeing anywhere from $25,000...

Really the price of most electronics here are nuts! The cost of an iPhone or MacBook here is crazy!

I went to Uptown and it is super cool!

Sounds like maybe this guy paid off the government or something to prevent from being extradited. Seems like the new President had no interest in protecting a criminal. Hopefully he is sent back quickly.

Wow! Thank you. All of this is super helpful. Can I ask @earlyretirement what is the best time to get the inspection? Do I need to make a formal offer first? Or at what point would the inspection be performed? Super helpful advice on asking to see the actual monthly bill. That is amazing they...

Thank you all again for all this precious information. It is good to know the process isn't just frustrating for me. Thank you @earlyretirement for this breakdown. Something I wanted to point out is that on 3 apartments in a row on the Zonaprop website the realtors have used incorrect actual...

Thank you!

I have seen some Africans on Florida street. I am not sure where they are originally from but we spoke to a nice man and he was selling some jewelry. I was surprised that there aren't many black people in Buenos Aires. We only saw two our entire trip. I didn't even see any tourists.

Follow up question? Do people get home inspections down there? I asked my realtor and they said no one here locally gets these. And since there are not mortgages it doesn't sound like anyone cares but can someone recommend a property inspector here to make sure there aren't major problems? Thanks.

Wow that would be cool to have a 22nd floor apartment. The view must be great! Do you know @Post-it if there are any units for sale in your building? Or in this building MEET PALERMO are there any more units for sale?

OMG @Wally! Terrible. I was wondering, why don't the realtor's allow you to talk to the seller? In one property I saw, I wanted to ask the owner some questions about it and the realtor said that was impossible and to just ask them the questions and she would find the answers. I like the looks...
