in Australia, the most popular model for retirement villages is the leasehold deferred management fee.The developer sells a lease often at about a 15% discount to neighbouring non-retirement properties, collects a significant service charge to pay for services and collects a "deferred management fee" which is a capital payment when the owner sells the property. This "deferred management fee" is often called a departure fee, generally at 2% to 2.5% of the purchase price for each year of ownership.
