Argentina · Buenos Aires first
Buenos Aires: the spread, with the paperwork done.
In Palermo and Recoleta, short-term revenue runs well above long-term rent. We'll open Argentina with units that are registered with the city, approved by the building and consented to in writing by the owner.

Why Argentina is next
Buenos Aires pairs a wide spread with room to agree terms.
Since DNU 70/2023 returned leases to the Civil Code, owners and tenants can agree terms freely, including written consent to sublet.
The risks are real and modelable: 21% VAT on short stays, peso volatility, and buildings that can still prohibit short-term use. We open only once we can verify all of it unit by unit.

First look at Buenos Aires.
Waitlist members hear first about launch dates, pricing and founding spots.
Before Buenos Aires.
When does Argentina open?
After the Lima pilot hits its targets for landlord consent, occupancy and operator profit. Waitlist members hear first, with dates and pricing.
Is rental arbitrage legal in Buenos Aires?
Short-term rental under 3 months is allowed if the building's co-ownership rules don't expressly prohibit it, the unit is registered with the city, and the owner gives written consent to sublet.
How do you handle currency risk?
Every unit is shown in pesos and dollars, with the lease currency stated. Many owners agree USD-indexed terms since the 2023 reform; we model both.
Does VAT apply?
Yes. Short-term stays pay 21% VAT, unlike long-term housing leases. It's built into every unit's numbers. Confirm your structure with an Argentine accountant.
Can I start in Peru while I wait?
Yes. Peru comes first, with the Lima pilot and founding pricing. See Peru →
