These real estate buyers are constantly on the
look out for overseas markets where real estate
prices are depressed. They take advantage of the
situation by investing in properties that have
good prospects for price appreciation when the
market rebounds. A good example was when a
financial crisis hit Asia in 1997 while many
construction projects were well underway. When
such projects reached completion, real estate
prices in the region were at an all time low
because foreign companies and expatriates, who
were expected to move in, postponed their plans.
Many of those investors who rushed to make
purchases are now enjoying their profits.
