Building lease for hostel
I am considering opening a hostel in BA, but have serious concerns about doing business in Argentina. I might do it if I can limit my risk to the yearly lease and found the right property. Also, I wonder if BA is not over-saturated with hostels now. Any advise appreciate, especially if you are or have owned a hostel. THANKS
Things, I will never understand-
Why do mongers complain, getting fooled and charged overprices when they were too lazy or stubborn to learn spanish?
And why has anybody, in his first / second / third vacation here the genius-idea af starting a hostel?
Forget it.
BA is absolutely saturated.
If youwant to get the habilitacion, you must have residency or a manager (who will fool you any second, you are not in).
They will fool you till you got the habilitacion.
They will fool you by faked or real inspectors even if you have a habilitacion.
Do you know the rental / hostel / hotel / resto - business? Just to know, where to find the clients or do you think, you can use some forums to get them for free?
The ultimate point of ex-pats with few cash but high expectations. Why do they think or hope earning millions of greenies without any idea of calculation, comerce, taxes and labor-laws.
To KISS (keep it short and simple): Don't
