    Newcomer Saturna, Nails

    These prices are extremely cheap! Am I seeing it correct that the exchange rate will be around 980 pesos to $1 USD if we bring $100 USD bills and exchange at exchange house? And if we use credit card it will be around 940 pesos to $1 USD? Am I understanding that right? It seems a bit confusing.

    For Sale Total apartment closing Costs with all final fees taxes and commissions in Buenos Aires when buying residential real estate?

    I have a long-time friend who lives in BA and seeing some. I'm making the short list but then will go see it but strange as many owners don't answer or allow me to see it in person. It's getting frustrating! 8 out of the past 10 properties I selected they said I can't see now! My friend...

    For Sale Total apartment closing Costs with all final fees taxes and commissions in Buenos Aires when buying residential real estate?

    Thank you @Johnny ! Your place looks beautiful. DH and I need more space but that looks nice. What part of town is it in? I think we got the IVA figured out. It's only on the commission amount paid to professionals. It seems to be like a service tax but most say they will waive it if you...

    For Sale Total apartment closing Costs with all final fees taxes and commissions in Buenos Aires when buying residential real estate?

    Yes, every realtor that we spoke to said there is 21% IVA tax on every professional bill. Even the legal bill. So that drastically increases the costs on all the fees. Here is the property I'm interested in: https://www.remax.com.ar/listings/venta-departamento-5-ambientes-recoleta-c-terraza

    Hi everyone. I have been lurking on the board for the past few months and love the format of this website. I saw there is an older forum but this forum seems funner and the posters seem more intelligent over here. Besides, every other thread over there is talking about this forum. Dear...

    Are Foreign expats in Buenos Aires the ones that couldn't hack it in their own countries?

    Interesting post. I'm a females expat in my last 20's and I have been backpacking around much of Latin America. I have noticed a trend with these passport bros. Especially in Colombia and Venezuela and I met a few in Peru as well. Many of these guys that I've seen or met up with I have...
