Property Management in Buenos Aires: What Foreign Investors Need to Know
How to manage a Buenos Aires property as a foreign owner — rental agents, short-term platforms, maintenance and repatriation of income.
May 28, 2026
Long-Term vs. Short-Term Rental
The choice between long-term (traditional 2-year lease) and short-term (Airbnb or local platforms) rental determines your yield, management complexity and tax obligations. Short-term rentals in prime Buenos Aires zones generate 7–10% gross yields but require active management. Long-term leases deliver 4–6% with minimal oversight and more predictable income.
Finding a Property Manager
For foreign owners not based in Argentina, a reliable local property manager is essential. They handle tenant screening, maintenance coordination, utility payments, and monthly disbursements. Management fees typically run 8–12% of rental income. Roffo can connect you with vetted property managers whose interests are aligned with yours.
Repatriating Rental Income
Under the post-2024 regulatory environment, repatriation of rental income has become significantly easier for foreign owners. Funds can be transferred through official banking channels. The Roffo tax team advises on the most efficient structure for income repatriation given your tax residency and the Argentina–origin country tax treaty status.
