Quick Answer
For larger stock gains, save assassination missions that are not required for story progress until late game. More cash before investing means the same percentage movement produces a larger return.
Money Route
| Timing | Focus |
|---|---|
| Early game | Spend lightly; keep weapons, armor, and supplies covered |
| Midgame | Preserve heist gains as investment capital |
| Before assassinations | Save manually and invest across all three protagonists |
| After assassinations | Wait for movement, sell, then consider the reverse opportunity |
| Post-story | Buy properties, garages, collection cars, and expensive extras |
Before You Invest
- Make a manual save before each linked mission.
- Handle all three protagonists, not just the active one.
- Wait in-game time if the price movement is not complete.
- Confirm the mission-stock relationship before buying.
- Keep the money route separate from 100% cleanup so goals do not conflict.
Property Spending
Buy assets that unlock activities or improve routing before purely expensive collection purchases. In the early game, task stability is more valuable than owning every property immediately.
