I don't know about you, but personally, i kind of like the 3 hour buildings. I started making them two weeks ago and leveling them up. They provide good money even if i don't collect all the time. Also most people don't rob them either.

I went from

35,000 to 50,000 per hour this way in about a week.


Go Go 3 hour buildings!

What did you do with your empty space before you getting those 3 hour buildings?

I like them too.

What i don't like is losing 40 stun grenades over night cause someone robs them all.

They work pretty well for me as well. But I am able to check them constantly.

3 hours were fun until you get to around lvl 110 then they just have peanut change.

It all about the 24 + 48 hour.
Even 12 hours are hard to manage but the financial reward are good as 2 of the 3 main type b buildings are 12 hour buildings.

I'm currently upgrading the 2nd Italian Restaurant to level 10. It's a bittersweet moment as it marks the end of an era and now I get to watch them become the new Laundromats as they march to obsolescence. The final gift to me comes in the form of an Upscale Club (and an Underboss' House), which the long upgrade time allowed in terms of savings.

Collectively 3 hour buildings account for over $20k of my rated income.

I like them very much!

2 Ice Cream Shop (Lvl 10), 2 Wedding Chapels (Lvl 1), 2 Underboss' Houses (Lvl 1), 2 Art House Cinemas (Lvl 3) and 2 Fancy Restaurants (Lvl 3)

I get around 90k each 3 hours when I collect them!

Nice!

I'm a fan as well. I have nowhere near the collection as some of you do, but the four I do have are some of the more rewarding buildings to collect from. I have two lvl 6 Italian Restaurants and two lvl 10 Ice Cream Shops (one is being upgraded to 10). As Duke said, they are hardly ever robbed for some reason, and when they are, I really don't care.

Hi, everybody :)

I should have explained this more in the first post but i'll do it down here :)

I had several buildings which i sold because they either looked like crap or didn't produce enough money for me.

2x warehouses
2x electronic stores
2x history museums (although they might be good at higher levels?)
1x sports bar (from a goal)
1x shoe store (from a goal)
1x dog pound (from a goal)

and after all of that real estate, i built:

2x Art House (both level 2 now)
2x Italian Rest. (level 4 each )
2x Souvineer Shops (level 5 each)
1x Underboss House (level 1)
2x Collection Agencies (level 2 & 1)
2x Fancy Rest (level 3 each)
2x Laundromats (level 6 and 5)

And i still have room for another Underboss House

If i total it up, my 3 hour buildings give me: ~35,000 every 3 hours.

Still a work in progress but its coming along nice.

Not sure if i should invest any more into laundromats or not.

@ Duke
Get them both to level 6 or 7, so that people can rob them for the rp/xp ratio :)

Normally I can collect 3 hour buildings 5-6 times a day. So somewhere between 90-110k a day. I'm not complaining about that.. And I still have room, that helps :)

Anyone who spends gold on wedding chapels, UPGRADE THEM!!! A level 3 wedding chapel pays out 11.3k/hour, 33k per collection. Getting almost 68k every 3 hours from these 2 buildings is pretty huge, and i think they'll be the only 3 hour buildings i keep along with ice creams toward endgame.

Level 3 has a 1055 roi, level 4 is 1326. I plan to take mine to level 5 for the added 156k every 3 hours, even tho that roi is a bit higher at 1776.

Gold buildings and upgrading isnt talked about that much on here, anyone willing to spend gold should upgrade those gold buildings ASAP tho maybe some dont have great roi's.

Agreed. I'm always a little confused seeing hoods full of high level gold buildings at level 1. If you want something really simple, proceed based on sticker price affordability in this order:


High level gold buildings
Nightclub, Loft, Movie Theater
Gold equivalent Type Bs

Go Go 3 hour buildings!

hey duke, 3hr buildings are decent income generators especially if you are able to login more consistently. unfortunately, i am not very good at it and i'm lucky if i collect more than 4x/day. instead, i have concentrated on 12/24/48 buildings which currently make up three-fourth of my income.

you should do fine with 3hr buildings especially if you make an effort of collecting on time.

I'm having problems trying to build/figure out what 12/24/48 hour buildings are best to level up.

My "BEST" list seems to be:

Loft
Movie Theater
House
Internet Company
Beach Inn
Upscale Club

What else should i be building/leveling up that is 12/24/48 hour?

Which buildings should i be staying away from due to their lack of income/build time/upgrade times?

Not sure why Internet Company is in there instead of Dominican Restaurant, but, otherwise, those are the best of the non-gold buildings. Eventually the later vanilla Type Bs work their way in, but Loft, Upscale Club, and Beachside Inn hang in there for a long time.

Is this the optimum level of these buildings?
I'm a little confused by this...
