Nice one bro. You're spat on with the way you put the information together. Keep it up!
Never clicked on a post notification so fast!
Una de las mejores ciudades del país, sin dudas!
salut, Sito~Love it, you made amazing -😎
Gracias por compartir videos de Mar del Plata !
Glad to see you back in Argentina. The COL is always of interest to me. I've lived in Costa Rica since 1997 and have dual CR and US citizenship. I want to experience more places in Latin America.
amazing presentation! Good luck! please tell us more about life in M del Plata, how much money you spend a month, cultural life, etc... Gracias!
Glad to see you back, bro. Greetings from Vegas 🎰
Me encanta esa ventana con puerta hacia el balcón. Muy bueno. Te recomiendo sacar en DNI de residente, eso te va a facilitar todo.
Es hijo de argentino, tiene ciudadanía
Thank you for the tour inside your new apartment, it is clean, a lot of space and good for you. I don't know if you can do another type of videos that you haven't done before because I've been watching your videos for a long time and I know your style of video. Can you make a video to see what kind of business a foreigner can do, from low-priced business to high-priced business? If you can do that, great.
That’s a good apartment for a reasonable price. Here in Buenos Aires landlords are asking at least 500 dollars for a monoambiente
Planning to move to Argentina for my retirement
Great choice
Same
Same! And I’m born in MDP 😊
Me too 😂
Moi aussi j'ai passé 3 mois à Cordoba je vais en faire ma terre promise
Very cool apartment!
Nice find, I pay $400 but I have a temporary contract. Happy with it since I have a pool and gym. I submitted some videos of it.
How do you like it there and how long are you going to stay ?
I like Mar del Plata. Was there two years ago. Saludos desde México 💚🇲🇽
This is one of the places i am looking at buying in after living there for perhaps a couple of Years . Thanks for sharing and all the best to you & yours .
……Abe ( UK )
They seize it… just rent
@@mlbonfox8199 ….” They ?” ……are the Local Gov there not to be trusted ?
I recently read that “ El Loco !” …..Milei has removed all Rent controls so as to let the free Market decide the price of Renting …….i know this will cause a large increase in prices in the more popular districts which , according to the laws of basic economics, will result in the less well paid folks moving to cheaper areas .
I have noticed on my travels that in the Capitals as well as the Cities with over 1 million population that there tends to be more employment and Business opportunities however, the negative ( certainly in the UK ), there is more crime like Theft from shops, Breaking into property, Stealing motor vehicles, Street robbery etc
Perhaps there are other big population areas outside the Capital with good priced Apartments , good shopping , good quality Utilities , good Business opportunities and less crime involving theft .
I will also be looking at La Plata, Mendozas, Tucaman and San Luis .
Thanks and all the best .
Te felicito por el departamento! Está muy lindo y conseguiste un muy buen precio
I'm moving to Argentina next year and I've been enjoying your videos a lot! Do you have any recommendations on which months are the best to find housing in Mar del Plata?
I would like between April and October. That is the off-season here.
Es verdad, de mediados de noviembre hasta abril, es imposible conseguir un alquiler anual, puesto que lo alquilan temporario por el verano y los precios son otros, lo que vale un mes, te lo cobran por semana. Generalmente, en las zonas turísticas es muy difícil conseguir alquileres anuales, a veces hacen contratos de 8 meses, de marzo a noviembre, en la costa. En Pinamar pasa lo mismo.
Great video. I will be moving from Miami to Mar del Plata this year. I will love living in a place with four seasons.
Compra ropa de abrigo, porque el invierno es frío. ☃️
We are looking for a retirement city and Mar Del Plata seems like it could be a great choice, but is it if it is that difficult to find a rental ?
Thx !
Will you make a video about the Pros and Cons of Cancun, Mexico?
I actually thought moving there (just for the beach and weather)
@@ThoughtfulThinker101 Cancun… happy to be alive - I can imagine what happened; sadly, those things are common. You’ve gotta keep moving while in Mexico - you get too comfortable, people can tell. The wrong people.
@@ThoughtfulThinker101 and - very glad you’re alive.
Sorry ‘that’ happened to you 🙏🏽
Do the apartments come fully furnished?
Are utilities included? If not, how much?
Love it !!! ❤ I’ll be there in march to explore retirement opportunities! If Biden is re elected, will move abroad for sure
What about renting an hotel room long term like an year rate?
This looks like a fantastic deal. I lived in Buenos Aires for 10 years. I purchased a home in Mar del Plata in 2009. It was one of the best decisions of my life. I wish I could find an apartment for 270 dollars in downtown Mar Del Plata. If you can pay all cash up front you will cut thru a lot of the red tape in Argentina. I live in Chicago, Illinois, and that apartment in downtown Chicago near the lake front would cost you at least 2500 dollars a month without any of the utilities. Man, you have a great deal.
Jesus is coming back. Believe He died for your sins and rose again then repent to be saved.
@@IamaproudChristian22 What?
Man I’ve been living in Chicago all my life hate it here I’ve been looking to visit argentina it looks amazing
@lzaza9858 I, too, was born and raised in Chicago. Chicago has been very good to me and my family. But I just have a better lifestyle in Argentina 🇦🇷. But no knock on Chicago. Except for those cold winters.
Tell me about Bariloche and Argentina. If I were moving to Argentina I'd be very curious about Patagonia
Why you are not posting anymore bro?
Hey man, you from the states?
So, $270 to start, then after 4 months 25% increase rounded to $328, then at 8 months up to $410...that's 52% by the way...so legally binding. Price increases here in Australia are about the same its like a land grab...no inflation driven but supply driven. Great video highly informative.
The price goes up in pesos. Since there is so much inflation in Argentina when they do increase the rent by 25% it’s still going to be around $270 a month.
@@sitopoema While the value of the dollar gains against the nearly worthless peso.
What is a good website to find an apartment on?
With or without furniture?
Depends who you talk to. Some say it's impossible to find an apt for $550 now?
Ooh! Do you come with it? ❤❤❤❤❤
why MDL and not BA?
I'm glad it works for you, but as you said having a 75% increase in your rent yearly is out of the official increase rate, so it's just plain illegal considering the law today. So if you ever have trouble with your landlord you have that on your side lol (even if there's a contract mentioning the 75% yearly, a contract cannot be above the law)
That is exactly the problem 😂 socialism doesn’t work.
What does that have to do with any of this???
Crickets. He literally dodged the question like EVERY clueless MAGGAT 😂
@@MacroAnarchy
The USA is partial socialists so as Canada!!! 😂😅😊
Hello sito, please can you do something on English taught masters in Argentina?
Why do you choose Mar del Plata to live?
Great video, I'm in usa want to move argentina. But it's a little sketchy 55 percent increase
The 55% increase is in pesos, not in dollars. Allow me to explain. For example, if your rent is 100 usd (50 000 pesos) in January 2023, the 100 usd in January 2024 will be worth 100 000 pesos if inflation stays at the current rate of 102%. This means if your rent increases by 55% at the end of the year, your rent actually decreases by 45% 😂😂😂 . Of course, this is very difficult for Argentinian people. They earn in pesos, and you earn in dollars. I hope you understood Economy 101. Inflation doesn't affect your rent or expenses at all because you have dollars. Dollars
increases as much as inflation.
❤❤❤
Any reason you can't just do a contract to pay in USD?
Nobody from Buenos Aires has done an update on apartment prices since the Milei Administration took office.
Because this mofo is an argie doing commercials….
Hello. It's a very useful video. Is the area where the apartment is located safe? (Mar del Plata). .
Mar del plata es una hermosa ciudad, pero no es de las más seguras. Si quieres vivir en la costa y buscas tranquilidad, te recomiendo Pinamar. Tendrás bosque, mar y mucha paz, menos en verano, que se llena de turistas, pero mar del plata es mucho peor en verano, un loquero de gente. Saludos desde Pinamar
What's the website where you were able to find apartments?
Instead, just to go the area where you want to live.
Hi are you still living in Argentina?
Whats the name of that complex?
Do you have any advise on renting cars in Argentina? I'm planning a trip this fall and would like to know what to expect. Please advise
Personally, I’ve never rented a car in Argentina. The one time I did try to rent a car they needed a physical credit card that they could put on file and I only had my digital card on my phone. So I was not able to rent the vehicle. So mainly Make sure you bring a physical credit card.
@@sitopoema Thanks for the tip. I'm planning a road trip up to Santa Fe with a local, but he doesn't have a drivers license!!
❤❤❤
The bidet is possibly an Italian heritage 😂
I didn't understand the part where they ask you for property collateral and the pay stubs... can someone please explain? Do I have to prove these if I am a foreigner looking to relocate?
Proof of income, yes!!!
wow Argentina is very affordable compared to crazy price Oz
Im willing to pay $600.ooUSD/month. Where should I look to rent?
For a country thats in not so good conditions, they sure make it hard.
Looks like europe
Where are these prices????? all I see is 3000 USD plus
Is it still doable to find apartments at around this price in Mar del Plata?
Yes, the laws have changed now making it much easier, but you still have to have a guarantee for the property. Also prices have gone up significantly throughout the country.
HOW FAR IS MAR DE PLATA TO THE CITY CENTER IN BS AS?
I'm guessing you're done making videos?
A todos los que tengan ganas de mudarse a Argentina para el año que viene, les recomiendo que esperen al resultado de las elecciones presidenciales y las medidas económicas que tomen. Porque, por ejemplo, hay un candidato que plantea dolarizar la economía. Entonces, si llega a ganar, deberán replantear los números que están manejando ahora.
Dolarizar?
Entendés que el 80% de nuestros ingresos de Argentina resultan de la venta de soja a Chlna?
En unas semanas entramos formalmente al BRICS.
Europa nos quiere comprar gas, Brasil nos quiere comprar gas.
Milei dijo que no comerciaria con Chlna.
Ahí nomás queda descartado.
Q comentario boludo
Area.
Floor tiles are 60 cm square.
Easy to calculate sq metres.
Living Area ~17.5 m2.
Kitchen ~3.5 m2.
Bath ~2.0 m2.
Bedroom ~8.0 m2.
Around 31 or 32 m2, which is a normal size modest 1 bedroom in much of the world. 345 sq feet.
Size of a small studio in old buildings in WDC, NYC, Boston.
Quite small contrasted with modern USA or UK construction.
Or the approximate SF inside a big RV with slide outs. Not that I plan on living in an RV.
Contract is in pesos or usd? Is that legal arranging a rental contract in usd there?
Having the contract in USD doesn’t follow the regulations here. But most people are starting to rent that way, but my contractors in pesos.
Nice apt. How is your Spanish?
Hey, thanks for the comment, my Spanish is pretty much fluent
so what happened? U get evicted? lot of inflation down there $1 is 1060 pesos amigo
So, I've heard how the exchange rate could make Argentina a nice place to stay... but just after a couple of videos I'm seeing it's not gonna work for me.
That's WAY too much chaos and lack of basic stability.
Such a shame, being the beautiful country it is, and the fact my grandma was from Buenos Aires...
Bro I thought your dad was Argentinian. Couldn’t you get citizenship through him? That would make your life soooo much easier.
Hello, i really appreciate your information on accommodation. Can we connect ? Need guidance.
Is it better to pay in dollars?
In pesos is the only way it should be and it’s best that was
Amigo que paso con este canal? Estaba bueno
I’m from USA and I’m trying to move to Argentina, my only concern is how does tax work for a US citizen? Do you pay tax for USA and Argentina, or just Argentina ?
If you are a US citizen or resident you pay US income tax regardless of who is paying and where you live. You may have to also pay state income tax based on your last address in the States. If you reside in Argentina more than 180 days per year (may be different now) you have to pay income tax to Arg AFIP, regardless of who is paying if your citizenship country does not have a double taxation treaty with Argentina. US does not have a treaty with Argentina.
@@Gus2828 thank you!
Hello! I want to buy a house in argentina sometime in the next 2 years but don't know a whole lot about its laws, you mentioned argentina gets a lot of inflation, is that just with housing/renting or just in general with everything? You said there was almost a 100% increase from last year and that just sounds absolutely bonkers to me any advice or insight you could give? Thanks mate
100% Inflation in Argentina for everything products or service. I know it’s crazy.
With everything, mostly food. But at least for right now, everything is absurly cheap for sameone who doesnt get paid in the national currency (peso). You can rent beutifull departments for around 200k maybe 300k (200-300dollars) just gotta know where to look.
The average expat is, of course, unlikely to have such a guarantor as your girlfriend's family member. So, highly unlikely to get such a deal. But don't the Argentines use credit reporting agencies? And suppose you agreed to prepay the rent for a year?
When I was looking around, I found an apartment that was being offered for people not from Argentina and they were asking for one year upfront.
I heard that there are paid guarantor companies in Argentina. After paying some money to these companies, these companies were making a guarantee. Could this be true?
Se puede pagar un seguro de garantía, es un gasto extra mensual, y se presenta un recibo de sueldo, si lo tiene.
Question: was your apartment unfurnished?
Yes, it came completely unfurnished. Only thing here was the stove.
This apartment would be $1800 in Los Angeles 😎
Are you sure only 1800?
@@ricardorodriguesrr18 If you're on the westside (Santa Monica, Culver City): $2400
yall taking advantage from us
Yeah every South American country I’ve researched seems that within the last year because so many people have been migrating since 2020 that this type of stuff is super common. They definitely are taking advantage of foreigners. But you know what. They do that in every country. It’s sad. Where is there a place to live where people are moral and honest?
@@ijadamaatsara i was saying american are taking advantage, im south american.
Wow, nice apartment for the money!! So, basically Sito I think your GF's family signed as your guarantor on the apartment. Perhaps you could find out if a lawyer can do this instead if you don't have family or friends in Argentina. I would be interesting in know this. Thank you again!!
A "guarantee insurance" can be accepted, but most ask to have between 1 to 2 guarantors in case of late payment of rent or possible compensation
Hello ! I want to come to Argentina in December and stay for 3 months. I want to rent an apartment in Buenos Aires but the prices online are crazy! Do you have a good agency I could contact directly or a good website I could check? I don't want to seem like the foreigner that everyone wants to rip off.
Those months is going to be nearly impossible because it’s summer break and everybody picks up the prices and nobody wants to rent out their apartment for cheap during that time
WOW -- If you don't know someone there (?) of some means - how do you obtain that co-signer equivalent ? -- You better be wealthy or at least have some serious $ on hand ! -- I remember it was 135 before & it's doubled from that I think ? + They want some serious protection !
1 euro to buy a house in Sicily if you think to live with pension
How do you NOT become a Tax Resident of Argentina if you buy a property?
Por la propiedad se pagan impuestos, no importa quien sea el dueño.

Could I get an apartment in BA for USD400 for one year? I just want to hang out, learn Spanish and guitar lol. Seriously.
Easily. My Airbnb is $400 a month and it's located in a good area near a metro station and some parks. You can go cheaper if you dig enough and don't care to live near everything
You said there is increase of 25% every 4 months ?
That is going to become Expensive in the long term .
So it is not going to be cheap at all .
There is more than a 120% inflation rate per year so even with the 25% increase it’s still not enough.

How safe is Argentina when compared to lets say Minnesota??
Hola, no sé qué tan segura sea Minnesota, pero va a depender de la zona que busques. Hay zonas que son muy seguras y tranquilas, con mucha naturaleza, en las ciudades, va a depender de que ciudad y que barrio. Luego hay zonas muy marginales. En la ciudad de Buenos Aires hay zonas muy seguras. Mar del plata no es tan segura, y hay pueblos rurales dónde duermen con la puerta abierta. Depende mucho de lo que busques
Lo que no pasa, que suele verse en USA, son los tiradores que disparan a los niños en la escuela. Que yo recuerde, en la Argentina hubo un solo caso de esos, hace muchos años.
Yo Vi el caso George Floyd... Quemaron todo durante las protestas.
No, en Argentina eso no pasa.
Sí pasa, cada tanto salen los villeros a saquear todo, además de los robos y asesinatos diarios, y otros tantos males que en Minnesota no existen, como el 140% de inflación.@@aliciadelvalle4921
No wild bears here!
The stupid government chose the worst possible way to deal with the currency problem - more regulation. If the market were allowed to decide things like price and lease terms then there would be no shortage. New president there now so things will be looking up soon.
I might want to make an investment there
Chabon sos la persona con mas cara de Argentino que vi en mi vida...
Y eso es de tener un padre argentino

@@lalimassonRight now, apartment available for 170,000 pesos per month?
@@max0192 ese departamento es barato a ese precio. Por la calidad del mismo. Claro que se consigue mucho más económico en mar del plata, pero no en esas condiciones. Ese departamento en la ciudad de Buenos Aires cuesta el doble
Great info. However, a month to complete anything is not a long time. The "BS" is the people who want to cover there A$$.
Please not. BS is in quotes
😂 in Italy cost almost the same price
Buenos Aires is not cheap to live
$270.00 a month? That's nuts........que increible. Voy a mover alli
Waiting for retirement to enjoy Argentina is like waiting until 6 PM to go to the beach. Try to do some remote job and invest NOW in Argentina as real estate prices are depressed. When economy will be skyrocketing, prices will, too.
Smart comment!
Dios... Nos invaden de todas partes.
It looks to be around 40m² ... not huge but big enough for one or two people.
Thanks, but no thanks. Too complicated! Too risky!
Rainy, cloudy and chilly. No thanks
Dude they had you sign your life away!
