I also didn't pay any IVA to my realtor but I did have to pay it to the Escribano/lawyer who said he couldn't waive it at all as there was no way to get around it as it was all registered. The one thing that was a pain and added to my stress level was getting CASH here. My realtor helped...

I saw this online about the change of law in rentals which seems to be a hot button.

I will be the first to admit I can't afford to move back to the USA! Nor would I want to. For what I'd pay in rent cost alone in NYC I finance my entire life here in BA.

I had no idea Apple Pay worked in Argentina!

It's not great. Not bad. I'd say kind of like a Carl's Jr.

A friend of a friend went through this process a few months ago. He is in the USA now for Christmas until February but I will ask more details when he returns. He said he took his financial documents from his pension paperwork and had to get it all translated by an official translator along...

Interesting article that I read today on Milei and Mersosur. https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/12/18/milei-mercosur-argentina-economy-trade/ What Milei Means for Mercosur The new Argentine president pledged to dissolve the trading bloc. But what if he ends up saving it? By Max Klaver, a...

I love great empanadas! I think that is the best food Argentina does well. It's hard to find a bad empanada. I wanted to start this thread to list the most delicious empanadas in Buenos Aires. Service is very quick and easy and you can get them to go. I always get a box to take back to my...

I don't think the pizza is all that great in Buenos Aires. They ALL think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread (and that's all theirs tastes like). Since the taste is fairly bland anyway, I usually just grab a cheap and affordable slice. I go to La Americana near my place. Although I...

This is totally correct @FuturoBA ! Most of my friends in the USA I don't actually know if they have a positive net worth or not. They drive fancy cars, live in a nice house, take nice vacations but I had a few friends like this that all of a sudden declared bankruptcy. Their life was all fake...

Wow this looks incredibly delicious! There sounds like there is a big need for restaurants with spicy food. Is your background in cooking? You should open a closed door restaurant! It sounds like with the lack of spicy foods whoever cracks this nut will be popular! Thanks for posting that...

ANYONE in Argentina that has been around for 40+ years knows what they are doing and reputable. No way you would make it this long not offering quality products or services. Most people fail in Argentina very quickly. Those that have been around 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 years are probably the best...

Yes there is no point to free steaks if people are looting and breaking into cars. I do not want to see it come to that. It is still very safe but I don't want hyperinflation to set in and things to get desperate for people. I would rather pay more and have all the l locals benefit too. Yes...

Great trip report! Thanks for taking the time to post it.

I use Cabify and Uber without issues. Uber I have linked to my USA Visa credit card. Cabify I set up with my USA phone # but I have to pay cash for those trips. Both work well.

Kudos on taking the time to put this crime section together. My only experience with crime was when I was here for a business dinner. One of my business associates had a Rolex watch on. I told him to be careful and NOT wear that out. Sure enough, he told me the next night he was robbed on...

I have been coming to Argentina for the past 2 decades. BA today is a shadow of its former glory days. BA used to be one of the best spots around the world for night life and party scene for guys. It is still good but most of it isn't in your face like it used to be. I used to stay at the...

I'm not sure where that is but the apartments look beautiful!

I love San Telmo but I dont' like the direction it is heading in. I read earlyretirement's comments about Soho turning into 'Disneyland' and I think to an extent the same thing is happening in San Telmo. It used to only be like that on Sundays but I see it more and more with only tourists and...

I haven't seen this kind of shared interest in a fellow forum member in decades! I found this forum from a Twitter post of Buysellba. It's quite remarkable. It looks like if Airbnb had a baby this website would be the result! It is beautiful. I love the idea of an all encompassing website...
