Do investors inside the community neccessarily care any more than ones outside it? It brings to mind the stupid xenophobia of thinking being oppressed by "their people" is better than having open elections where an immigrant can run.
Investors inside generally have different incentives. They are close enough to drive by and see how things are doing. Wreck the building and they will notice. Investors from outside can be fooled.
Also if the investor is just looking for a place to save money outside of their unstable country they may be better off losing money on the deal!
