why are them being called "investors"?
as far as understand they just buyers on real-estate market. Investor is the person that makes money by "investing" them into certain projects: real estate, agriculture, IT or [better] into war and regional conflicts.
friend at Phuket runs real-estate shop said almost all clients-turn-customers are from RU, KZ and UA buy condos to live, not to "park money" or "speculate".
