OP ED: James “JB” Bryson-

I certainly have much to critique about the way things are done in my adopted home here. I still feel that despite the “boon” we see in Panama City, there lies a 3rd world underbelly we can’t seem to shake. With every “Four Seasons” or “Hard Rock” or new Mega-resorts we see pop up, it is still inceasingly hard to get shit done here without dealing with an archaic system.  That being said, PANAMA IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE MOST STABLE PLACE TO BE IN LATAM. Period.         The presence of the CANAL is without question a major factor, as the world as a whole cannot sit back and watch if there was instability in Panama. Too many hands in the cookie ar to let that happen.  All around the region, it is dripping with violent instability, communist oligarchies, and an overall poor quality of life for it’s natural citizens. See Equador below:

So, PANAMA is in the unique position to take the LEAD in all of LATAM and a better version of itself. Gone should be the days of “Gringoe SCAMS” and getting the fast money. The need for REAL living and Tourism developers to be here is high. Those that can show a professional, sustained, and proven predigree of success in Real Estate are needed RIGHT NOW, to remove any concerns people have of coming here. Many RETIREES are even growing in areas like INDONESIA, THAILAND, and VIETNAM, as US options that existed 2 decades ago are less and less viable.

Step up to the plate PANAMA,,,,,don’t take a pitch. Swing for the fences and work with PROVEN groups.
