Your father has passed away, and you’ve inherited his money. Now you can buy your first apartment and start your business.
Your goal is to build a thriving real estate empire: buy more apartments, rent them out, maintain good relationships with tenants, and adapt to market changes and crises.
Buy and manage apartments
You start with a single property, but you can expand over time. Apartment prices reflect the real market — they change based on location, size, and condition.
Every apartment is different: some need renovation, others are luxurious but come with high maintenance costs.
It’s up to you to decide where to invest — whether you’ll buy a smaller flat in the city center that rents out quickly, or a cheaper one on the outskirts where there’s a higher risk of troublesome tenants.
Choose your tenants wisely
Every tenant has a story. Some are quiet, pay on time, and keep things tidy. Others will cost you nerves and money — they might damage furniture, disturb neighbors, or bring pests into the apartment.
Before signing any contract, you can screen tenants — check records, read about them, or talk to them. But you can never be completely sure how it will turn out. Your task is to find the balance between profit and peace of mind.
Deal with major and everyday problems
The life of a landlord isn’t just about income. Every apartment needs maintenance from time to time. A tenant might accidentally flood the neighbors, a pipe can burst, the stove can explode, or gas might start leaking.
Sometimes the problems are small; other times, they’re catastrophic.
You can fix them immediately — but it’ll cost you money. Or you can postpone them — but you risk the situation getting worse and the repair becoming even more expensive later.
Keep track of everything
Everything has its price. You pay for repairs, utilities, taxes, and insurance. At the same time, you collect rent, sell properties for profit, or take loans for further investments.
The market changes — inflation, crises, or price surges can all influence your decisions.
Over time, you can hire property managers to take care of some apartments, or accountants to oversee your finances. But as your empire grows, you start to lose oversight — and even a small mistake can have big consequences.
A market that never sleeps
The game follows the real-world market. Apartment prices are based on actual data — some areas are booming, others are declining.
An apartment in the city center earns more, but the competition is fierce. In rural areas, you can buy cheap, but finding tenants is harder.
Speculation is part of the game — you can buy during a crisis and sell when prices rise. But you never know when the next crash will come.
Master the market
Your goal is to become a respected real estate owner. It’s not just about money — it’s about balance. Keeping your tenants happy, your apartments in good shape, and your lifestyle growing.
From a small-time landlord, you can become a real estate tycoon — but only if you can master the economy, people, and a bit of luck.
