Other than the missions how do people earn money? :2cents:
I earn on the Vercetti estate and own about 3 businesses. But do they earn money too? :confused:

Like there's no place at the Ice Cream Factory or Car :car: showroom :home: where money adds up? Does it all collect at the V estate?
 
You need to complete the missions for each property in order to collect the money (which fills up like a timer over the course of 24 game time hours.)
For example at cherry popping you need to make 50 drug deals, and then you can collect 2-3000 each day at cherry popping's property. And after you complete the vercetti missions you can collect 5000 per day there.
The best place to buy (50,000) is the car dealership because you can win races which pay off 40k (30k actually, you spend 10k on the entry fee.) And you can do that race over and over.
 
I got the boatyard and the Kauffman cab company. I'm earning from the Kauffman company but not the boatyard -where can I find its missions?

Also, I got around 50,000 quid right now - whats a good business to buy?

Lastly, anybody got a VC map of where all the businesses are?
 
I've bought the Malibu and completed its missions and am now getting 10 grand a day. i bought the Car Dealership and finished everything there and i get 9 grand from that, plus the five grand i get from the estate and 2 grand from the boat docks. I am getting around 26 thousand a day from that. When i get around to it i will sell more "ice cream" at cherry poppers. I've sold 70 so far, but am not earning money. I think you have to sell like 175 or so but im not sure.
The boatyard mission is one of the boats sitting in the water. go through all the checkpoints and you will earn 2 grand a day. I waited until i had around 200 grand to start buying properties that would make $$.
 
i sold 100 ice creams and now make 3000 a day from the ice cream place. the film studio is about 60,000 and is on prawn island, it has funny missions as u need to help a director making xxx movies. ;)
 
"Ice Cream"

Sell 50 in a row without exiting the vehicle or getting busted. After you get 50, you can exit and it will say mission passed. If you get busted, die from an explosion or water, or you exit before the 50 deals, you don't get the diploma
 
OK. I have done the Love Fist missions. I have done everything. The only missions I have now the Docks, everything else is finished. I have 80,000. Where shall I go from here?

And could someone direct me to where this Phil Cassidy is?

Have you done the Malibu missions? I got Phil's as soon as I completed the last Malibu mission - the bank heist.

Taxi: 100 drop-offs, not in one shot, just 100 total.
Police: Level 12, in one run (brown thunder mode makes short work of this)
Ambulence: Level 12, one run (start from the hospital in vice point, the one near the mall)
Fire: Level 12, one run. really easy, just dont run over teh people as they bail from the cars on fire.
 
Space, the only problem with all those missions is when you accidentally run over the cops and hit their cars... that's when it gets interesting

Rjenson are the Police at the scene of the fire when you arrive? :Police:

Not always, but they're driving around as normal, and when you're zipping from one place to another, you'll see plenty.

As for the Brown Thunder missions:
Once you get 3 stars, you'd better hurry for your Hyman hideout, take the star, then change clothes, or the police heli's will shoot you down:(

Never happened to me.

Although the r3 missions have a health regen. (at least ambulence and vigilante) get a vehicle smoking and complete a level in one of the r3 missions, the smoke should go down a level (fire->billowing black smoke->solid stream of gray smoke-> bursts of gray smoke->no smoke)
 
Brown Thunder is when you do vigilante mode with the Hunter.

There really is no difference between the two, except the name change.
 
Finally I found the answer on how to make from Cherry Poppers, but I own the strip club in Washington Beach as well, and I can't figure out how to make money from it. Anyone know?

Yeah i guess so somewere they saud 600 somwhere they said couple times enter and exit the room,I spend couple minutes doing everything so I don't know what works what doesn't,I think viper man's right.
 
So I can't do it in one sitting? Or can I just go in there sit down, and then maybe go fix myself a sandwhich in the kitchen while Tommy gets his little dance?
