    Paying for real estate in Buenos Aires with Bitcoin or crypto?

    Based on what I heard today, going through a money exchange firm and liquidating crypto and getting cash isn't legal. I don't have any crypto anyway. I will just do it a legal way or try to find a seller that has an account outside of Argentina and wire directly. That sounds like the easiest and...

    Is buying a property and listing a fake price normal in Buenos Aires?

    Thank you to everyone that gave me advice on this post. I just met and did a consultation and I understand things now. It was very confusing, especially on understanding everything with the payment of an apartment in cash. Thank you to all for all the good advice.

    Is buying a property and listing a fake price normal in Buenos Aires?

    Thank you to everyone that answered! I didn't even think about the tax issues! I don't plan to sell it anytime soon but it is a good idea to think about this. The realtor and the lawyer didn't mention taxes. I would feel more comfortable using the real price but the seller refuses to sell using...

But now they are telling me that they won't move forward with the transaction unless I use a fake very low price on the title deed! The realtor told me this is...
