    Who is responsible for the monthly (expensas) on a rental? Landlord or Tenant?

    Our plan is to rent a car initially and drive around the areas to see if it feels like something we like. Also if we are going to be far, we want to be 1 hour or under to the capital. We like to live in a more calm area less hectic but able to be close to the city when we want to check it out...

    Who is responsible for the monthly (expensas) on a rental? Landlord or Tenant?

    Did you have to go through a real estate agent first? and after spoke to the owner? Ideally for me would be transfer from US account to US account. I have heard people buy dollars transfered via USDT but I have not done this myself if transfer to US account is not an option.

    Who is responsible for the monthly (expensas) on a rental? Landlord or Tenant?

    Hi. I have not called them yet. From their website, it says "Si sos extranjero y no contás con DNI argentino, contactanos para que podamos evaluar tu caso individualmente." so I made an assumption there is a possiblity.

    This seems to be the common theme for South America when it comes to selling anything, it takes time. Thanks for the confirmation of the monthly expenses going. This will be something we need to be mindful of.

    Yes Nordelta looks amazing, however Escobar is also very nice. This is from our initial search online. Question. Do you live there? How do you like it?

    New DNI - What's next? How to build credit?

    Thanks for the suggestions on the bank. What it sounds like to me is store cards/credit cards are just not worth it? Unless it is 0% 12 month and we want to spread our payments?

    New DNI - What's next? How to build credit?

    Will definitely have to research about AFIP, it sounds like if there is any income or money in local accounts, it raising a risks and potential tax obligation.

    New DNI - What's next? How to build credit?

    We will investigate about AFIP and monitributo. She is currently unemployed but it sounds like at least having a bank account is important. Even if it is a small balance.
