Bureaucracy & Friction

Argentina's dual-currency market complicates rentals. Premium or furnished apartments aimed at expats are heavily dollarized and often require payment in physical USD. Navigating local contracts (in pesos) requires a 'garantía' (local guarantor), which most expats cannot provide without specialized agencies.
