Because if you can make a 50% down payment it just seems that it is better to invest in other properties requiring less cash

I have a buyer with certain amount of cash but doesn't qualify for bank mortgage.

Do cash buyers typically shy away from investing in 55+ communities or is this not a barrier? 

Probably cash flow or break even often requires 30-40% down. 

Tampa, Orlando, Miami, Broward, Jacksonville and their surrounding areas are all booming right now and can be great long term hold plays that still will cash flow if you find the right deals.

So, if you buy a property in a cheap market for $30k cash and invest $30k cash to rehab it and then it appraises for $80k after rehab you can refinance out your entire $60k investment and hopefully have a good cash-flowing rental. 

There may be tax advantages, cash flow, and other benefits.
