Summary
It’s a busy life being the local drug lord. Between production, dealing, laundering, and networking, the protagonist ofSchedule Ihas to find ways to make money along with laundering it, which means buying several properties to generate both revenue and product.
The player doesn’t have to unlockRay’s Realtyby reaching a certain level or waiting for a call, but it is something that Uncle Nelson will remind the main character about after they start generating acertain amount of money.Each property at Ray’s Reality has its pros and cons,and becomes progressively more expensive, and a successful kingpin will eventually own them all. Visit Ray’s Realty on the edge of Downtown to buy either a Business for laundering or a Property for production, employees, and sleeping.
7The Docks Warehouse
Large-Scale Investment For Advanced Businesses
The Docks Warehouseis the most expensive Property sold at Ray’s Realty, and it has advantages, such as the central location and plenty of space. However, other locations are cheaper, more accessible, and can house just as many employees.
If players have the substantial chunk of change required to buy the Docks Warehouse anyway, they’re likely in a financial position to burn through some money. Even if it’s too early to fully staff the Warehouse, buying property is also a way to launder money in this game, whichmight be the primary motivationfor buying this location at first.
6The Post Office
Decent Laundering For An Economical Price
The Post Officecosts more than twice as much as the next cheapest property, which is the Laundromat, but can only clean double the amount. It’s not really worth the trade-off, but it’s nice to have a convenient location Downtown, which comes in handy later as the region opens up and the client list grows.
Players might want to buy either the Laundromat or The Post Office at first, but choose wait until they have more free cash to buy them both. However, it’s better to invest in something cheaper at first and expand to bigger businesses when there is more money to launder.
5Taco Ticklers
Centrally Located In Northtown
It’s a big investment and not much return, but $8000 is the highest the game can go at this point, sothe real money laundering powerhere is the initial purchase.Taco Ticklersis the most distinctive building in this region, and players will be using it as a landmark and dealing meet-up point when they first arrive in Hyland Point. The Hotel is only steps away, and clients often ask to meet behind the location or in the skatepark next door.
Other than its use as a money-laundering business, it’s just satisfying to buy the property where the player might have made their first sale. This is where Street Rats can hook up with client Kyle Cooley when they first come to town, and selling to him is always easy thanks to his low standards.
4The Car Wash
Central Location, Heavy Laundering
Nestled on a busy corner between Downtown and Northtown, theCar Washstrikes a nice balance between laundering a nice chunk of change while not costing one. Taco Ticklers only launders a couple of thousand more a month and costs more than twice what this business goes for.
It’s well worth the investment, but the main character probably won’t be able to afford even this modest business when first starting and will likely buy the Laundromat instead. For more ambitious players, however, it might be worth skipping the smaller businesses and going right for the Car Wash.
3Laundromat
Small-Time Cleaning
Just when the handy ATM starts to get fussy aboutall the dirty cashthe main character is depositing, they’ll have enough to move up from rentals and buy their own business. TheLaundromatis often the first business everyone buys because it’s the cheapest choice, and it has a decent return only if the player considers that it’s so economical to buy in the first place.
The greatest advantage to the Laundromat is the convenient central location between Northtown and Downtown. That makes it easy to get to the Motel and the Sweatshop from here, two of the most important locations in the game at this stage, especially for those who are still dealing in this neighborhood and want to stay close to their clients.
2The Barn
The Barnis half the price of the Warehouse and can accommodate the same number of employees, which makes it a better deal. When it’s time to expand into bulk amounts, and it’s a choice between this and the Docks Warehouse, players with a limited budget should invest in the Barn first.
The location of the Barn in the far-flung corners of the Suburbian back forty is one major downside, but if the player has enough money to buy the Barn, they should have enough for a basic vehicle. This is one of the few Properties where a car is essential, but it’s worth the effort.
1Bungalow
TheBungalowis located on a quaint lakeside lot on the edge of Westville, and it’s the best deal of any other property on this list. $6000 is pocket changefor a mid-level dealer, even one who’s still trying to organize a decent-sized grow, so this quaint single-level is highly recommended. It can also double as both a meth lab and a mid-size cannabis grow when the player unlocks harder drugs.
The Bungalow consists of three large rooms, so it’s easy to divide into areas for cooking, living, and growing, which is yet another advantage. It’s also one of the few Properties that players can fully equip without the use of a vehicle, provided they have some patience and take more than one trip.
