    Daily maid rate per hour

    It is not a bad rate at all, you could offer 4000 for 6 hrs and tell her if she is done in less time you will still pay her 6 hrs plus trip. See if that works.

    Cartoons for the illiterate me

    Daily maid rate per hour

    The less hours they work, the more they charge generally. If you want a persona once a week, it will be more costly than 3 times a week, for example.

    Real Estate New Building

    Just remember right now it is a buyers market. Have a reputable trustworthy escribano and run everything through him. Also buy from a reputable real estate agency ( there is a history of construction company scams in the country ).

    Currently overstaying and can't afford the ferry or fee. Do I have other options?

    It won't come up. Forget about it and do not stress over it. If/when the time comes you have to leave, just sell some stuff and pay for it or try to get a small loan from family or friends. I have never seen anyone deported in my life ( except for narcos and people involved in serious crime )
