I read there was some backlash against foreigners receiving free public healthcare but I didn't read anything about private medical insurance. I don't have any DNI or residency status here. Can I still buy a health plan from any of these providers? Will they sell me a plan? Any help would be...

How big were the 2 bedrooms in this building? I looked but no more larger apartments for sale. Only smaller studio apartments. I don't see many larger 2 bedroom apartments. In many projects it is just tiny studio apartments. Why is that?

Wow this looks very nice! Most of the properties I am seeing online are very old and ugly and need severe renovations. Or I have found most listings on Zonaprop are of new buildings that haven't even started yet or will not be completed for many years.

I still find taxis very cheap here. Uber too compared to most places I travel to.

I have found the locals to be quite friendly. I am surprised that more people here don't speak English. I always see various things online saying that Argentina has a high English fluency rate but I don't find that to be the case. Although the locals all seem friendly when I try. Google...

I don't think you can sign up for Mercado Libre without having a permanent resident ID - DNI. I just use my friends. You can ask your friends and most likely they will help you and you can just give them cash. That is what I do. Or if you have a doorman in your building I am sure they would...

I agree. It will take time for the system to change. Seems like the governments are hell bent on controlling crypto.

Yes the problem is that many sellers will NOT agree to work with any escrow accounts. They don't want to talk to anyone and just want cash. They don't understand things. Even with Escribano involved some sellers just want cash and don't want to fill out any forms or talk to any bankers or...

So true @Scottishgaucho! I posted this in another post but posting here too. Forget buying an apartment in crypto. It isn't really accepted here for anything from the sounds of things. I saw this guy in Argentina now that is big into crypto. He is saying Bitcoin is illiquid here at any price...

Forget buying an apartment in crypto. It isn't really accepted here for anything from the sounds of things. I saw this guy in Argentina now that is big into crypto. He is saying Bitcoin is illiquid here at any price. And even gold and silver with a 50% discount! That is insane. Locals only...

Actually the worst thing about BA is all the dog sh*t. I slipped and almost broke my arm on dog sh*t and ruined my favorite jacket.

Actually the comments about all the dog sh*t are real. Last week I was in Villa Crespo and was talking on the phone and not paying attention. And I slid on some dog sh*t and fell. I think I fractured my hand but the worse thing is dog sh*t was smeared all over my favorite jacket. People here...

What an idiot! Not sure why anyone would go there. Rough. I always imagined how valuable that land is there.

I went to Siamo nel Forno and it was very good. Not on this list. https://www.instagram.com/siamonelforno?igshid=sfb681r1ma05

Had pizza here and it's really good! Pizzas about 14,000 ($14 USD) each. Prices sure have gone up since last year.

I can't believe the prices at McDonalds. It's been a while since I was here but it's gotten a lot more expensive. A Big Mac extra value meal with large drink was almost $10 USD.

I've been here a few times over the years and never recall it being this bad. I went out today and can't find any bug spray either. I had some natural spray that I found but it didn't work! I think without DEET it is probably worthless.

This is the best piece of advice. Avoid Airbnbs on busy streets. I had rented an apartment on Airbnb that was fabulous in the photos so I booked it. I loved the property minus all the buses. Avoid streets like Las Heras unless the apartment has double pane windows. You might want to see...

Thank you for these links and advice. Very helpful. Thank you! Extremely helpful advice. I sent you a PM if you can see when you get a chance. Wow! 600 purchases??? I sent you a PM if you don't mind answering when you have time. Can you guys keep this topic on cash. NO owners have any...

Wow but this sounds so risky. I assume they have armored trucks who you can pay to transport the cash? No way I will be walking around like a drug dealer with this much cash. The property I am looking at is almost $200,000. I won't risk that. My realtor said I can send it to her cueva and...
