Business optimization

[karok]

Hey there,

 

I just came back after a couple of months off GTAO and I'm have a question that I haven't found answer to yet. 

 

I only have 3 businesses, which are Crate (which I don't use), I/E and GR bunker. I'm usually buying supplies for the bunker, and doing my I/E business in the meantime. Then I solo sell 1 bar of supplies at a time. 

 

I don't have everything I would like, but it's enough for me, without having to grind all day long. With the consolidation of businesses in the nightclub, I only have crates and GR supplies going on. I didn't even upgraded to fill 50% faster yet, because the 1,4M required will be almost impossible to get back with those 2. 

 

Is it worth it to buy the MC club and run it with my GR and I/E, and add a tech in my NC, or it will take too long to get my investment back from buying everything? 

 

Or is it best to keep running GR and I/E, and don't invest to upgrade the NC and just forget about making money with it?

 

Thanks!

If you are looking to get a Biker business going then I would recommend going for the coke and meth factories.

Update your bunker first. Then afk a couple of full loads and sell in the city.

 

Joining a well organised sales crew will also help with multiple veichles, and you'll make some money when helping them.

My bunker is upgraded. I was talking about the cost to upgrade the nightclub to get products 2x faster. I can't break even that 1,4M just with 2 tech working on crates and GR supplies without playing for months.

 

So I was thinking if I get coke and meth + 2 more techs, that could get things going faster for my NC. But the cost of the MC + the coke and meths labs is steep (2M+). Is it fast to break even these starting cost?

Don't bother with the NC until you can get the best 5 businesses going. NC is a bad source of income without them (even with those 5 it's kinda meh). Get coke, meth and cash going and upgraded first.

This, and joining a good crew will sort you out the quickest.

My advice is to fully upgrade your bunker, use the AFK method along with full bunker solo sales. It's easy if you have the right Bunker (Farmhouse or Chumash recommended):

 

 

There's a contact mission based method that works really well for AFK money making too:

 

Personally I don't bother with the MC businesses, I find them too fiddly to maintain if you're doing the bunker as well, and their sell missions are generally incredibly tedious.

 

That said, if you're intending to use AFK money making techniques in the longer term, and you have a Nightclub, then it's worthwhile buying Coke, Meth, and Counterfeit Cash businesses, in that order (and leaving them stock - no upgrades). After you set them up, just leave them running but with no supplies. This will generate extra passive income in your Nightclub (from cargo).

How long do you play for?

How often do you play?

Can you leave it AFK overnight?

How do you play? i.e. what do you do when you play?

How much "work" do you want to put in?

 

All of these will make a difference to your best method of earning money.

First off in what timeframes are you looking to break even on your investment?

 

Nightclub ain't a sprinters moneymaker like I/E or CEO crates.

Gunrunning and MC are a 5k moneymaker.

Nightclubs are a marathoners moneymaker.

 

You make a fair amount with very little effort.

 

You make 350k at max capacity on just the 2 products

 

In the end it will be as profitable as you want it. The question is how long do you want to wait?
