I'd honestly be impressed if GTA V employed some sort of entrepenurial-based minigame similar to what Rockstar gave out in GTA: VCS, where Vic Vance was responsible for managing the internal network of his self-made drug empire.

 

Not to mention if we would have the ability to deposit funds into local businesses and invest in them and receive profit back. That would be really cool considering the high availability of banks in the Los Angeles area.

 

Lastly, debt collection should also be re-introduced. GTA: SA did this really well wherein if CJ owed a casino a hefty debt as a result of a bad round of gambling, then the owner would first remind him of his financial obligations, and if no response was made, loansharks (usually Mafia/Triad thugs) would surprise CJ and attempt to gun him down.
