    What buildings should i still have?

    I was just wondering what buildings are still worth keeping. I'm currently lvl 60 and want to increase my IPH. I'll just like all the income buildings and levels, and if anyone could please just tell if I should sell or get more/upgrade buildings.
    Thanks!

    Laundromat x2: lvl 7 l Pizza Parlor x2: lvl 5 l Fish Store x2: lvl 2 l Souvenir Store x2: lvl 6
    T-shirt Stand x2: lvl 5 l Warehouse x2: lvl 9,6 l Comedy Club x2: lvl 1 l Clothing Story x2: lvl 3
    Beachside Inn x1: lvl 1 l History Museum x2: lvl 3 l Chinese Restaurant x2: lvl 4 l Seadfood Restaurant x2: lvl 3 l Meat factory x2: lvl 2 l Italian Restaurant x2: lvl 3 l Arcade x2: lvl 6,7 l Gas Station x2: lvl 5 l Internet Company x2, lvl 1,2 l Beach nightclub x1: lvl 1 l Loft x1: lvl 1 l Shoe Shop x 1: lvl 2

    I have an income of 30k an hour

    Just give me a heads up on what buildings I should sell (if i should sell) and what buildings I should put more money into.

    Thanks in advance!

    This may seem like trolling, but is actually good advice. All those buildings listed are junk and upgrading any of them is not really helpful for increasing IPH.

    i would keep the t-shirt stands and level up the ones that get due hourly or every couple hrs cuz they're good for helping with case events when i need a couple bucks every few hours. i have recently found limited time buildings to be good as well. depending how often you log on, nightclubs i like too. in general, my advice would be to focus on 6/12/24 hour buildings, depending how often you log on. to save up for the limited time buildings, upscale clubs, etc. i'd try to rob ppl. if you are seriously dedicated, go through your rival list with a pen and paper; write down all the names that you go to rob, make a list of crappy iph rivals, and a list of "cashcows" (good iph rivals). after a few hours of going through your rival list, you should have a number of cashcows. then anytime you log on, search for these cashcows, this will help with obtaining money to buy the limited time buildings, etc.
    so in summary, i find the limited time buildings are good for iincreasing iph.

    Pretty rough going here. Buy houses and upgrade one to L4 and then the other to L4 and then alternate until you have enough for loft upgrade to L3, then alternate upgrades of t-shirts until you have enough for a second loft to L3. Then upgrade Beachside Inn and Internet Companies (max L5) to get both of your lofts to L4, and then start saving for your nightclubs. Try not to gain any experience points during this unless you are getting 3stat/xp. If you need to upgrade other buildings while you are saving, use Italian Restaurants and/or buy Movie Theaters. Other buildings worth taking to L5 are Dominican Restaurants and Upscale Clubs (available at LV70). You might want to buy the Dominicans now and fit their upgrades in (to LV5) along with the Beachside Inn and Internet Companies, upgrading whatever is cheapest at the time. Tis true that most everything you have is poopy though, if you've thought about starting over.

    Sorry, and good luck,

    PS

    TMI apparently didn't read the 30k IPH part. The advice on supplemental income is valid however.

    Also, don't delete anything until you need the space and then only when you have something better to replace it with. Built is built, and it's not so much that it's a pain to collect. But nothing there outside the Loft is inherently worth upgrading. My advice is based upon the situation you are in. It's going to be almost impossible to build nightclubs based entirely upon robs, so keep collecting what you've got already.

    - There's no reason to delete what you've already got unless you're out of space.
    - Get two movie theaters stat. You've got enough income to buy them in a hurry. (Upgrade them like so: buy and take to level 2, buy another and take to level 2, then alternate theaters to upgrade.)
    - Take your loft to L2 then buy another.
    - Use your lofts and movie theaters to get your hourly income up to 80-100k. At that point you can start saving for a nightclub and get there comfortably in under a month.

    This is good advice...also get some Dominicans and you can mix them into the upgrades as well...I think if you can have your Lofts at L5, MTs at L7 and Dominicans at L5, that will set you up nicely to start saving for your NC....

    and if you can collect 18hrs, the Wholesale Warehouse is a great low level buildings, but only if you can collect it somewhat regularly...you can then take this to L4/L5

    If you need to save for any of the above upgrades, if you can collect 5 or more a day I'd use your Italians as your save upgrade....if you are a twice a day collector, then go with Houses as your save upgrade

    When you get to L70, buy some Upscales and work them into your priority upgrade schedule...

    That should keep you busy for awhile.

    I forgot to add Brownstones...if you have room these are a good low-level building, although I never really get around to upgrade these...on my top 2 accounts, both have 2 L3 Brownstones...so not def not a priority, but a decent building to have at the lower levels....

    Agree with murf about Dominicans and wholesale warehouses. They are good upgrades, especially out to about level 5. They won't give you as much money as lofts and MTs, but you need upgrades in between your main upgrades so you're not idling upgrade times, and these are fine buildings. If you can tapjoy yourself 20 gold, maybe you can get two smoke shops. They have an eight hour collection cycle, but the upgrades are very fast and cheap, and they give respectable cash, sort of like Dominicans.

    Also, figure out whether you can get away without banking cash. If yes (search the site for info) then that's a 10% boost on income right there. Are your defense stats good? One more thing, it's not a bad idea (imo) to cultivate some three or one hour building for ready cash, especially if you bank. I like underboss houses and art house cinemas for this. But all this is secondary. Mainly you got to build your nightclubs. And for that you need income, and for that you need mts and lofts.

    Also if you're not a tycoon, buy the Goodfella upgrade. It's the best gold spend in the game

    So... when I examine the hoods of some who are advocating "selling them all" I see some of those buildings still there. Apart from the 1-2xp/rob buildings for rob-trade are you keeping them for decorative purposes?



    EDIT: My apologies if this seemed trollish and snide. I'm adding a smiley to indicate comicalness.
