Some players just spend their time killing each other in the free-roam world, not really focusing on the bigger picture laid out in front of them. The more elite players plan, budget properly, and grow their crew of AI and real-life friends. Property is a massive need for the player who wants to live in the most lavish apartments and mansions. There are ways to flip these properties to make lots of money. This guide will help players learn how to make extra money by selling real estate in Grand Theft Auto 5 online.

When players are first introduced into the online world of Los Santos, they are given very little. Aside from a pistol and a hunk-of-junk car, in order to improve, the player needs to make worthy investments. By owning an office, players are now able to do bigger missions with cargo and a massive payout. These missions take time and effort to accomplish. This money can be used to buy bigger properties like their own private yacht, a large scale apartment or private mansion with a yard, and any vehicle they could ever imagine. It’s all about grinding to make the players way up the Los Santos ladder. Another venture in generating money comes from selling real estate. Real estate comes from purchasing different types of home properties like apartments, garages, and yachts. These are nice pads for chilling with friends, having a drink, hitting a bong, and seeing the outside world of Los Santos from a safe distance. Each property comes with its own perks and quality-of-life improvements Players can flip these properties to generate thousands of dollars if done properly. Here is how to make money through real estate in Grand Theft Auto 5.

How To Purchase Properties in Grand Theft Auto 5 Online

For starters, in order to sell a property, the player must purchase one first. Players can do this by accessing the pause menu/smartphone and heading into the web browser. Head to the Dynasty 8 link. Here, players will be able to view all of the property listings. A map will present itself with the locations and prices of available properties to purchase in Los Santos. Clicking each icon will give a small description of what to expect when purchasing the place, like what types of amenities come with it. For example, the high-end apartment comes with a master bedroom with a pool table and a telescope in the living room to view real players out in the streets. Aside from apartments, players can buy garages as a location where they can store their vehicles. These are much cheaper than in apartments and homes. Also, when players die, they can set these properties as locations they can spawn in. Here’s how to flip these properties to make some money.

How To Make Money Selling Properties in Grand Theft Auto Online

In Grand Theft Auto 5 online, players have access to 6 deeds. It was previously 3 deeds but the game updated to allow more. With 6 deeds, come 6 potential properties for the player to own. If the player wants a new property outside of these initial 6, they would have to sell one of their previous properties. There’s no actual way to directly sell properties in Grand Theft Auto 5 online but this method gets the job done as well. When players are buying another property outside of their initial 6, they are forced to sell one of their current properties. To get the most bang for the players’ buck, purchase something cheap like a garage. The difference in price will be added when selling one of the player’s high-end apartments. For example, if the player has an apartment that cost over $1,000,000 and they want to sell it, purchasing a garage for $5,000 to replace the apartment will provide the player with $995,000 in their pocket.

Now when should the player do this? Always maintain at least one main home. Players don’t want to end up out on the streets again like at the beginning of their playtime. At least having one pad where they can hang out with their friends is ideal. Also, having one place to maintain all of the vehicles they own. It’s recommended to select the player’s favorite to keep. If there’s a new, high dollar property that players wish to invest in, this is a perfect time to sell one of their old homes. Grand Theft Auto 5 online is constantly introducing new properties and goodies to purchase so its always good to have that option open. Another example of when to sell a property would be with the Diamond Casino. If the player wishes to gamble a large sum of money, this is a great way to make money in short notice. Lastly, investing in a business is at least over $1,000,000 in Grand Theft Auto 5. Even for the smaller spaces, this is a hefty investment. Use the money flipped from selling a property to purchase a business.

Grand Theft Auto 5 online strangely has plenty of real-world financial lessons to teach. In a game about killing hookers and transporting drugs, it’s surprising to see how much effort went into making the dollar value actually be valuable. There are no cheats or methods to climb all the way to the top with infinite money, houses, cars, and boats like in the story mode. Players have to earn their wealth in Grand Theft Auto 5 online. Real estate is just another method of getting closer to absolute control of Los Santos.
