    Apartment Rental Apt. Rental in Pesos...?? Light Blue Rate..??

    The real rate is the blue rate. Would anybody here accept anything less than the blue rate for their dollars ??? If not why do you think an owner should ?? Because your opinions aren't based on any other logic than " f*ck everybody else except me " which is a perfectly fine attitude to have...

    Banking transering $ abroad from apt sale

    Wow, so much new stuff to think about. Does that mean that since I am a "permanent" resident then they will not ask me how I brought the funds into the country? And if they do ask, what if I have records of bank transfers to each friend and get copies of their passports - would it be enough...

    Banking transering $ abroad from apt sale

    I'm a little confused now, after so much recent talk about needing to be a resident to have a sane apt sale here I got this response from a bank when I asked them about their services for doing the sale and transferring the $ abroad. Does this sound right? "Lo ideal en tu caso es que te tome...
