FAQ
What does USD 200,000 buy in Buenos Aires?
About 89 m² at ~2245 USD/m² (offer price, grade B).
What taxes apply to a foreign investor?
Personal Assets tax (~0.5% per year on the property) and income tax on rent (~21% for non-residents under the applicable regime). The ITI transfer tax was repealed, so the sale is not subject to it.
Are there restrictions for foreign buyers?
In urban areas such as the City of Buenos Aires there is no relevant restriction on buying. Limits apply to rural land and border zones (Law 26,737), not to city apartments.
How does a non-resident repatriate capital?
Through the financial FX market (MEP/CCL), not the official one: assets are bought in pesos and sold against dollars offshore. It is legal but adds friction and depends on the prevailing FX policy, which has shifted several times.
