Choose for your schedule
Four Property decisions
A fast all-online payback can still take much longer across your real day.
Compare all-online payback, but keep the current account price in the model.
Cash invested in a Property is no longer sitting on hand; surplus Cash may still need protection.
Buy next or keep saving?
Use three gates
- 01
Unlocked
Cash cannot bypass a visible level requirement. The calculator reports the lock separately.
- 02
Affordable at your current price
Enter the screen price and Cash on hand to see the shortfall. Do not assume the sampled Newsstand price is universal.
- 03
Worth the delay
Compare blended payback with the next level, gear, or safety goal. The Jobs page can turn a Cash gap into expected base runs.

Properties FAQ
Which Property should I buy first?
Use the first unlocked Property whose live price you can afford without blocking a more urgent goal. Newsstand Front has the quickest sampled online payback, but its $590 price came from an account that already owned one.
Which Property has the fastest payback?
In the five checked price samples, Newsstand Front is about 0.98 all-online hours and Pizzeria is 1 hour. Account-state pricing can change the order, so use the calculator with your screen.
Do Properties earn while offline?
The checked interface states 25% of normal income while offline.
How much do Properties earn overnight?
At the observed 25% rate, eight offline hours produce two times the displayed hourly income before the optional +10% bonus.
Is the +10% group-and-like bonus permanent?
The checked interface described it as permanent. Recheck the live requirement and bonus text after an update.
