An ideal way to invest for your furture retirement

Paris, France -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/18/2014 -- With the rise of LGBT retirement homes – Europe's First LGBT +50's "Active Retirement" Village has found a way to help "younger" members of the LGBT community to save and prosper in their future retirement in the South of France by becoming a "Grandlord".

Most Continental Europeans prefer to rent rather than own their property - while in the case of people in the US & UK it is the opposite. Danny Silver M.D. of The Villages Group snc states "here in France at "Le Village-Canal du Midi" there is a big demand from Continentals who are asking to be put on a "waiting list" for yearly rental – therefore as our permits allow us to offer a few Villas on a "Guaranteed Rental" program, we are making them available so people can invest, have a guaranteed income and then move in and retire, (when ready!), to one of the worlds, (a UNESCO World Heritage site), beautiful locations and "Le Vie en Rose"!

Demand for "Active Retirement"

Paris, France -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/08/2014 -- The gay community are the newest group to fuel the booming retirement housing market, which already offers developments catering to art enthusiasts, musicians, military veterans and university alumni.

It's not just the age of retirees that has changed - these days, a growing number are demanding 'active retirement.'

One previously marginalised group in particular, the LGBT community, has tapped into the "joie de vivre" with the increasing accepting attitudes towards the "gay and grey" available in France with buyers keen to snap up one of the one level, eco-friendly villas at the new The Villages Group - Rainbow development.

The Villages Group - Rainbow, a 7 hectare gated community of affordable one level eco-friendly/energy efficient "village-houses" with concierge services nestled in the heart of South West France, is a private oasis for the Gay & Lesbian (LGBT) Community who want an "Active & Healthy Lifestyle" in a warm, friendly, healthy climate set on the banks of the Canal du Midi; between Vi neyards & Olive groves and near to several typical Languedoc Villages. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site

The emphasis is on active living and the wide range of activities on offer includes tennis, archery, aerobics, equestrian events, sailing, boating and swimming in the village's outdoor and indoor pools. Social engagements abound, with a focus on arts and crafts, music, dance, wine and theatre. Owners enjoy special membership to the stunning nearby golf course and free bicycle hire. The development even boasts access to four ski resorts, all within a 55 mile radius.

The Villages concept is certainly not a place where the older generation go to live out their remaining days in seclusion or to go back into the closet.

The great weather, French gastronomy and picturesque location provide perfect reasons to spend your latter years at "Le Village-Canal du Midi"

Paris, France -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/18/2014 -- While some senior Gay, Lesbian & LGBT look to retire to a life of style and fun in the South of France, all types of investors are trying to find a way to "cash" in on the Pink Money.

Danny Silver, MD of Europe's first LGBT "Active Retirement" Village; "Le Village-Canal du Midi" say "it is a "fluke" of the market. Whilst ownership is going nicely for "non-French" citizens; the Continental Europeans tend to rent their retirement, rather than own property. In fact that goes for all property! We are receiving daily requests from the Continent to rent and ownership from predominantly USA & UK. Our permit/license allows us to offer a very limited number of villa's to the "own-to-rent" market. Therefore we are doing just that – and offering guaranteed income to the lucky few. Plus, you can just imagine the capital growth in this unique market".

Mr. Silver continues "that some people are not ready for retirement, so either they own early and receive a nice income until they are ready to retire – or use part of the year and rent out the summer months for a guaranteed income".

A new website - http://www.villagesinvest.com – has opened for everyone's benefit – or rather the lucky few.

But the future is not all bleak!

Paris, France -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/26/2014 -- LGBT adults face unique challenges as they get older. Studies show as they get older, Gay/LGBT seniors are at far greater risk than their straight peers for depression and isolation which may cause associated health problems. A recent survey of gay seniors living in San Francisco found that 58 percent of LGBT men and women age 60 or older live alone, compared with just 25 percent of straight older adults.

Older gay men and women are less likely than straight seniors to have children to depend on, either financially or emotionally. They're also far less likely to be married and often don't have a long-term partner.

Stories abound of Gay men and women who chose to hide their sexual orientation after living most of their lives in the open. This rather than face judgment or discrimination from the staff or residents of retirement communities.

It is not all "gloom"! There is an ideal and affordable choice. "Active Lifestyle" Retirement in the warmth of the South of France at "The Villages Group – Rainbow". A sweet pension plan! Management; all activities & entertainment program; full maintenance; weekly villa-cleaning controlled by the owners at just $100 per villa (if 2 people - $50 per person) per week.

Early Birds! for those a few years from "retirement" – secure a place now and enjoy first-class income – 100% fully guaranteed! - until you are ready to "move in". Make money and look forward to the life of "style & fun" you deserve!
