The hype and puffery of Panama's real estate roar manifested itself last weekend at the City's annual Atlapa convention, an event which visitors will remember less for its investment insight and more for its plethora of beautiful women, free snacks, and complimentary mouse pads embossed with seductive floor plans.

Wandering down Park Avenue in New York City recently, I was accosted by a small Indian man who I think was trying to sell me a hotdog. It was an amusing confrontation in that the man tried to guilt me into giving him money, if not for the hotdog, because he had no legs. I saw cause in his appeal and handed him a crisp one dollar bill whilst noticing the parallels of the street I was on, and our beloved Balboa Avenue of Panama City.

This is a plea to real estate agents and travel agencies alike. PLEASE pull out your thesaurus and spare us the cliché tropical dreamscapes and definitions used to lure investors to your sites. Panama property investment is great: but it's not PARADISE!

Homes in Panama come in a variety of types and sizes. Set within the former “Canal Zone,” minutes from the city of Panama, Albrook was home to a U.S. Air force base before turned over to the Panamanian government in 1999. Today, there is a domestic airport, huge bus terminal, large shopping mall, and several new housing developments which offer great options for investing in homes in Panama.

I snuck into Atlapa the way I usually do to avoid the long lines: through the back door. Simply carry a large box and when you get to the guard, sign your name as something that sounds like a delivery man such as Cletus. The convention floor was bright and lit-up like a spaceship, hundreds of people buzzing around like confused galactic gerbils trying to decide which cheese to eat. Mountain developments, beach projects, city ventures: Panama real estate appeared to be hotter than a fast ferret in a forest fire.

Shortly after I celebrated with friends the fact that Nikki Beach was coming to Panama, I went home to figure out just what the hell Nikki Beach actually was. I had feigned excitement and enthusiasm the way you might around a doctor boasting of a successful surgical procedure: caught in this middle ground rut where you don't really understand the subject, nor do you want to kill the mood. "A 40 hour hyper-evasive chest thoracoscopy. How exhilarating."

That a country is cheap to live in, to me, is not a good enough reason on its own to visit. On the same grounds by which I find it irrational to buy trail mix solely for the cashews or to convert to Hinduism exclusively for the cool elephant god, the influx of stingy travelers and investors to Panama who come just because the country is inexpensive, to me does not make sense.
