The word "investor" is conflating two things. On one hand you've got "investment" where someone pays up front for materials, construction workers, and equipment, producing a building, and then makes money by selling or renting that building. This is good, because it resulted in a building that people can live in. On the other hand you've got "investment" where someone purchased a preexisting building, in a way that's disconnected from the process that caused it to get built in the first place. This is usually neutral or bad.

So yes, it's sticking it to different investors. But that's a good thing! Stick it to the investors for whom "investment" means pushing dollars around, rather than the ones for whom investment means construction.
