Pros and Cons of Investing in 55+ Communities

I've talked to a few people about the pros and cons of 55+ communities with SFH. The tenants generally are easier on the properties but also can have higher HOA's. Do you have to be 55+ to buy or only reside? What is the BP communities' experience with this type of asset? Any pitfalls to avoid or horror stories?

The biggest problem is the typical very high HOA in 55+ communities that makes them poor investments.
