There has been some discussion in the forums about whether selling buildings is a good idea, but it seems clear that when expansions start to cost over a million, some aren't worth their space. What are the first 3 buildings you would sell to gain space at higher levels? Mine, mostly because of space, payouts and cost to upgrade are:
Chinese Restaurant
Arcade
Sports Bar
Those are three excellent ones to sell.
Clothing store, IMO it is only worth the space for others to rob for the RPs.
Gas stations, lotsa space for little income
Guard Dog Training Centers, if including defense buildings, space is better filled with Gatling Turrets.
Warehouses, if you didn't upgrade them to much....a lot of space, little $$/hr
I was thinking gas station as well, but I already upgraded it to level 4, do you get more money for selling upgraded buildings?
You get half what your last upgrade cost. Honestly, selling these things shouldn't have much positive impact on your income regardless.
For a mathematically rigorous answer to this question, sort the spreadsheet by $/hr/sq. The answers aren't surprising, however. Basketball Court is very low ranking, but I doubt most people would eat the sunk cost in gold. Gas Stations, Pawn Shops, Gun Shops, Delis, Diners, etc. rank low if they are unupgraded, but most of the time they will be upgraded. Beyond all that it is, in order, Warehouses, Clothing Stores, Electronics Stores, Chinese Restaurants, History Museums, Arcades, Meat Factories, and Fish Stores.
i dont sell anything i just rob til i get enough to expand. i also keep my clothing store and warehouse so ppl can rob for respect i like to return the favor and they are two of my favs to rob
I agree with babytway. I don't sell any building.
@ Tramp Stamp
You can improve on this by cutting the results in two ways: level 10 $/hr/sq and current level $/hr/sq. Evaluating against level 1 probably doesn't tell you much unless your building is also at level 1. Level 10 would look at the structure's potential, while current evaluates immediate impact.
@ lvl 10 assuming perfect collection, here are the top 5 lemons in terms of $/hr/sq.
1. Basketball
2. Warehouse
3. Gas Station
4. Clothing Store
5. Pawn Shop (hm... that's funny)
If you're selling to make way for a building right now, then it would be a good idea to look at the current levels of your buildings when sorting.

I sold my wedding chapels, adult movie theatres, warehouses, gas station, Italian restaurants, ice cream shops and all other buildings that were not 12/24/48
Most of them were high, some level 10. I lost about 30k per hour.
I regretted it for the first week but definitely not any more.
My hood looks nicer and I know exactly how much I collect now per day.
If your having problems, I feel bad for you son
I have 99 problems but the yids ain't one. COYS
Ya know, I was about a million bucks away from my first Hotel, and your post made me remember to dump my ice cream shops, wedding chapels and Adult Movie Theaters. Good call. Hotel is under construction and dumping those buildings freed up space for the 2nd hotel and the Gentleman's Clubs in 2 more levels. No expansion, no more 1 and 3 hour buildings. Yay!Originally Posted by silverbackspur
agreed. lvl10 income/area is the metric i use as well.

When it comes to buildings I'm a hoarder. It's not like I have a problem. If I wanted to sell them I would, I just don't want to... OK Jeez get off my back about it already.

I just updated my economy breakdown tab. 10 buildings make up about 75% while the other 25% comes from the remaining 56 money buildings.
