Your first building
Step
When you load in, find a building you can afford and buy it. Once you own it, tenants move in and rent starts arriving automatically. That rental income is the engine that drives the rest of the game.
- Start cheap look at the lowest-priced buildings first and pick one your opening cash can cover.
- Buy the building once purchased, tenants fill it and rent flows in.
- Stack properties every additional building you own adds another stream of income.
Three ways to grow a building's value
Table
Once you own a property, you have three levers to pull. You can pour money into upgrades, bring in more tenants, or sell the building entirely and reinvest the proceeds into something bigger.
| Upgrade | raises the building's value and the rent it generates. |
| Rent out | adding tenants increases the number of income sources on a single property. |
| Flip | selling a building frees up capital to put straight into a more profitable one. |
Offline earnings and the idle loop
Tips
One of the biggest features added to Investor City is offline earnings — your properties accumulate income even when you are not playing. A short daily login to collect what has built up is enough to keep your empire growing.
- Buildings generate income while the game is closed.
- Log in to collect accumulated rent and reinvest it.
Venue and retail businesses
Summary
A large update introduced two new business types: venues and retail. Each operates differently from a standard building, which means they bring in money through their own separate structures.
- Venue businesses a new type with its own income mechanics, distinct from rent.
- Retail businesses another new type with a separate profit structure.
Cars, planes, and taking a break from investing
Tips
You can spend money on fast cars and planes, then actually drive or fly them around the city. These are side activities — the main game is still building your empire.
- Fast cars are available to buy and drive.
- Planes let you fly freely.
