I don't think the windfall is as big as you say, or why would you care about large downpayments on income-producing assets that would appreciate over time?

I'll do that when I meet my investments are producing my final goal of $X.

When investing in real estate, having multiple exit strategies is key.For a single investment property, make sure the numbers work for both scenarios: 1️) If you decide to sell the home, the deal should produce a solid return. 2️) If you need to rent it out, the rental income should cover expenses and provide a profit.Flexibility is what saves you when things don’t turn out as planned.

It is already off putting that I could not be allowed even to use a tent or trailer, RV, mobile or tiny house even temporarily.

Like the push to get tiny houses accepted and zoning changed,   a "cleanly well run rooming house" business model has yet to get much muninicipal acceptance tracktion.  

You need to look at return on equity, how much cash flow can be generated putting your equity to work vs the cash flow this property will produce.

I've seen concepts of tiny homes having been built from storage containers, but not entire senior communities.

If an asset is throwing off a certain yield that is not commiserate with it's risk, then investors will then begin paying more for that asset, thus decreasing it's yield....or start paying less for the asset which would increase it's yield, until it was at the proper risk/return rate to produce the yield that is truly reflective of it's risk.The problem is novice real estate investors get the risk/reward correlation backwards.
