yep, Argentina is a nightmare regarding property, rentals, being a landlord etc.
I've been through it all, and not only with argis, actually more with foreigners taking advantage of the system, (rentals).
I have a good friend, Carlos, real estate guy........the stuff that I experience through him, (with other clients), is just outrageous......and many times "good" "solid" "high professional high income" "sophisticated gay world travellers" etc etc etc.....the ones u would bet ur pants u could not have trouble with...... actually I've had 2 bad experiences the last 10 years....long contracts, apparently perfect clean deals. Both turned out expensive........and both was on a very creepy level. We always make fun about this type of stuff now.......just like with bad workers fucking stuff up and cheating u like hell. He had one scammer, local one, trying to fool around seriously and cheat..... problem was that the owner of the apartment was a high level government guy, (former gov)......owner pulled down his pants and put a .22 through his asscheek......then he said, now we are even, stop what you are doing because next one will be painful!!!!! Hahaha!!!!! After that the guy stopped conning around........(meaning, not paying rent, occupying apartment instead of just leaving, and calling for his human rights......and that of course many many months). The trick with occupying apartments is a big problem...... impossible to get rid of people......no legal way.
The rental income in Argentina is not really interesting if u look at current prices.......but if u look back on your return on investment with your purchase price they are quite high!!!!!
F.ex. to get maybe 1000 euros monthly in Germany u would need for sure 500.000 minimum. Here I guess you would get more.
