OMG. When you said "13.5 years on
www.BAExpats.org" I finally checked the site. It seems oddly familiar but for me back in 2006-2008 I remember searching about Argentina and what life would be like there. At that time this was not attainable for me but it was a nice dream to live in Argentina. I recall a site I found of a person (Asian) who promoted a lot on the benefits of owning property. I was really envious of this person and appreciated him sharing his life. I do recall he promoted a lot on Recoleta and beautiful apartments forsale/rent. Anyway life went on and now in some way has come full circle. I wonder if the owner of buysellba.com is the same person, unless there is another east Asian expat that is doing the same thing still.
Anyway.. people can be crazy when they want to monetize information. I'm glad I found this site and hope it goes up from here!
I posted on
www.BAExpats.org for a long time but I NEVER gave my identify or promoted my company. No one knew who I was until a few months ago when a member of BAExpats posted my identify. But I had NO agenda other than post helpful information. The owner, didn't even know who I was for 13.5 years. He just found out a few months ago.
I'm not sure who this Asian person is but I never posted my identity on the website. But on other blogs like Travelersur -
www.tinyurl.com/sawthefuture2 I did post under ApartmentsBA and told how real estate was going to skyrocket. (Read all of those old posts. I tell people I can really see the future. I've always had that gift. If you read those old posts you will believe it).

Yes, if it was on that site or others, it was me. I'm American but my parents were originally from South Korea. But I don't know anything about the culture or the language. I wish I learned but never did. I consider myself first and foremost American where I was born and raised and grew up. Then Argentine and now also Mexico where I will get my Mexican passport next year.
Yes, life has come full circle. I was the largest buyer of residential real estate In the world for Buenos Aires. I bought up much of Recoleta and Palermo Soho -
https://buysellba.com/news-/-media?blogcategory=ApartmentsBA. You probably read about me in many of the Global newspapers or magazines. It was hard to hide my identity as I was buying up hundreds of millions of dollars in real estate in Buenos Aires. I also was on 4 episodes of HGTV's House Hunter's International. I'm told they were the highest rated show in the history of their network.
There is only ONE earlyretirement! Ha, ha.
Basically EVERYTHING I predicted would happen in Argentina happened. In the USA too for that matter. I totally predicted what was going to happen in the USA real estate market and I bought at the bottom there too. Now I'm doing it all over again in Buenos Aires. I thought I had a once in a lifetime chance to buy stuff cheap there. But I have a twice in a lifetime chance and buying up much of Buenos Aires again.
I sold 95% of my portfolio in Argentina and my investors as well in 2018/2019 at the absolute peak. I watched it fall almost 5 years in a row and it's at bottom now and loading up again. It's funner this time. I already have the investors, know how, network (lawyers, bankers, developers, Escribanos, accountants) and I'm hiring my exact same team -
