Financial Comparison:

“We moved into Riverside to take advantage of the security and the resort style facilities and banked $145,500”

It seems too good to be true.

But many over fifty-fives are finding that selling their current home and buying a home in Riverside Gardens Estates beautifully appointed Lifestyle Village is actually leaving them with a substantial tax-free cash reserve.

Depending on the value of your existing home this could amount to several hundred thousand dollars. This could be re-invested to give you a regular income or that new car and or caravan and a wonderful ocean cruise or any combination you choose as the choice would be entirely yours.

Here’s an example of the financial benefits you could enjoy.
