My questions before heading to Buenos Aires

[Drjosh]

Hi Everyone, I have some questions before traveling to BA:

1. Are there places where I can find authentic US-brand shoes that have been imported from the US in Buenos Aires?
2. When renting a place in Buenos Aires, who pays the realtor fees, the landlord or the tenant?
3. Where can I find raw milk in Buenos Aires?

Thanks in advance.

Hey! You can find authentic US-brand shoes at malls like Alto Palermo, Paseo Alcorta, and also at Complejo Los Arcos, but they’re really expensive here.
From what I know, the tenant usually pays the realtor fees. I can’t help you with raw milk since I don’t consume it, but I’m sure someone in this forum can assist you.

You can also find authentic US-brand shoes on Mercado Libre, but like Camile said, they’re really expensive. As for raw milk, you can get it at La Recría, I always buy from them. They have lots of organic and agroecological products.

@Drjosh just make sure you don't get info from idiotic posts like this one:

realtor fees

easier just to find a cheap place on Airbnb and not have to worry about Argentine weird rental situations with insurance and all that. most of the time these only apply to people with DNI numbers who are renting for 1-2 years

did you end up going?

Wow I just took a look at the X and all kinds of people calling Argentines racist.

What was idiotic about his post? I thought kind of the same as him. It was hyped up. The restaurants and food weren't all that great (I posted while I was there). I thought the girls were nothing to write home about and the people aren't nearly as friendly as in other parts of Latin America.

The long term rentals are crazy. You either have to ask someone with a property to cosign for you or pay the entire year up front! I had to pay a whole year up front. Airbnb is not always easy to find a long term rental. I think @Darksider415 has been renting long term. I read their post. @Darksider415 did you find your rental online? Which portal did you use. Did you use Airbnb at all for Long term rentals?

That is my experience. Many owners are totally flaky on Airbnb. I tried to ask owners to do a deal outside of Airbnb and Airbnb immediately sent me an email saying it would kick me off their platform if I broke the rules. I guess AI is helping them immediately spot when people are trying to do that.

A bunch on Zonaprop want you to have a co-signer or pay all up front. What happens if you pay all up front and there is a problem? Anyone go through that? I can't imagine anything works well in Argentina if there are problems.

I found mine on MercadoLibre, but I also have a DNI and income en blanco in Argentina.

If you don't have local income declared and a DNI, forget about it and find a property owner who is willing to let you pay, or get a cheap Airbnb.

Yes the DNI is essential with local income. And not just local income but DECLARED income which 50% are in black here. If you're a foreigner you will probably have to pay 6-12 months up front. That's what I had to do before I bought my place.
