You are using the official exchange rate yes? Just so folks know, the current blue rate is almost double that. This means a $800 rental could only cost $400 if you have dollars to convert.
@@axelpaff3306 It is NOT “illegal money”. It is the exact same money that you would get from a bank or ATM. You could say it is an unauthorized exchange rate since the government does not approve of it. Whether it is illegal changes with the laws and administrations. Some years it is and other years it isn’t. The highest rates are generally when it is illegal though.
@@Surfbird11 It is an illegal quote from illegal exchange houses and unauthorized banks, only the government can sell dollars and at their price, everything else is illegal
@@LifebyMelissaAndrew The Rent prices seem a bit higher than they should be? I know you can rent a decent Apt in Buenos Aires for Four hundred U.S. a month. Not shit places either. Saludo!
Very informative. Thanks. After viewing numerous walking videos around Buenos Aires, I have never seen any sign or other indication of a public restroom. How does one go about making necessary "pit stops" when touring the city?
I am on the same boat.. in the later part of 2022. Dolar Blue rate hovers around 280 pesos a dollar.. so go figure SS reciepients can live pretty well in Argentina.
Every lease with the landlord is unique. There's no specific way rents have to be paid. You need to first determine the best way for you to pay and then go from there.
In theory you should only be paying in pesos. If a landlord wants to charge you in dollars you shouldn’t accept, im pretty sure that’s illegal. Pesos are the only legal tender in argentina (although the dollar is widely use in the informal market, but if you are signing a lease and writing everything down, then you should only be paying in argentine pesos). Im sure some people will try to take advantage from foreigners and try to charge them in usd (i mean its not really take advantage, they are just trying to not lose the money due to inflation, so who can blame them) but it’s definitely better to pay in pesos because your rent will go down each month as pesos are worth less and your dollars more.
@@LifebyMelissaAndrew if the rent is paid in pesos, why you want to pay at the formal rate? Formal rate is two time more expeansive than the blue rate.. so USD 800 means USD 400, is that right?
Good content. There are people such as me that love the sound of the city in the background. I'm like Joe Pesci in the movie "My Cousin Vinny" 🤣 Horns honking and sirens are a mother's lullaby to me.
Wow I'm just shock someone mentioned Mr Kunal Desai I thought I'm the only one trading with him he helped me recover what I lost trying to trading myself
Show more of the apartments with far less personal commentary. I don't care that you love pools--the next person may hate them. Or that you have dogs & hate to walk to find space for the dogs to do their "duty." If you had deleted some of that personal commentary, you could have shown twice as many apartments.
Thanks for your feedback. I like to share a few things about dogs or children since I have lived there. I have a different perspective from those that have not yet moved there. Like the summers in BA are miserable and many escape to the coast or look for a pool. I will do more of these videos in the future to show more apartments as well.
if you dont want commentary then just go look at apartments yourself... most people watch a video like this to learn things from someone more experienced. Thanks Melissa
Wrong calculation for the $ dollars . Since on the street the exchange rate is double on the street for the USD$
Amazing prices....I live in Manhattan in a tiny studio and iam paying $2.100 American dollars!

Yes, this is the official rate. Thanks for adding information about the blue rate!
I was wondering if you paid in pesos. Because I know about the blue rate. Thanks
Blue dollar it's illegal money, she is using the correct dollar oficial

What about the blue dollar if you pay*change in the blue dollars market it’ll be half the price right?
I'm interested in seeing the lower priced apartments because I live on social security benefits.

Hello do we pay in pesos or dollars. What about the new law. Rent control etc

@@agme8045 Thank you so much. Some of the listings are in U.S. dollars
Why not blue dollar rate applied?
Blue dollar tends to change everyday...I'll let the audience apply those rates if they are exchanging with the blue dollar.

Are these prices monthly or yearly?
monthly, but actual market rate is double. that means that will cost you half what the prices in the video
Investing in Crypto/forex & stock trading now is very cool especially with the current rise in the market now
Most especially having an expert Trader like Mr Kunal Desai
Wow I'm just shock someone mentioned Mr Kunal Desai I thought I'm the only one trading with him he helped me recover what I lost trying to trading myself
Most intelligent words I've ever heard Crypto is the best
Talking about Mr Kunal Desai I think he is the best trader I have ever met
he helped me recover all the money I lost trying to trade myself
Do you know whether a DNI is needed to rent apartments on Zonaprop? Is it available to tourists as well? Many thanks
Zonaprop is only a listing tool. You’ll need to contact the realtor to move forward in the rental process.
800 is too high!
Old video two years ago.
Palermo it looks like NYC
❤❤❤
