Mafia Wars - Buying Properties

Published by bozoplay under Uncategorized Edit This

Through much trial and error I came up with the following table based on equal return on investment with 10 Casinos as the base. The idea here is that you can have too many low priced properties and not be utilizing your money properly to get the best return. The basic rule is buy the highest priced property you can afford and secondly buy in multiples of 5 or 10 if you can.


A
B
C
10
Abandoned Lot 5 10 13 43
Commercial Lot 1 1 2 6
Downtown Lot 0 0 0 0
Beachfront Lot 0 0 0 0
Villa 7 15 21 70
Restaurant 5 10 13 52
Apartment 5 11 17 57
ValuMart 5 11 17 57
Marina 2 3 5 17
Office Building 2 3 5 15
Hotel 2 3 5 17
Casino 1 2 3 10

Some simple observations:

  • Avoid buying the Downtown and Beachfront lots until you have enough cash to develop them at the same time. The return is too low to let them sit vacant.
  • Focus on the Valumart, Apartment and Villas first. They have the highest rate of return.
  • Buy as high as you can in column A and work down to the Abandoned Lot.
  • If you do not have enough cash to buy in column A, work across in B, then C if you have no other option.
  • Save your money until you can buy the next higher valued property in column A, if you have reached the number in column C .
  • Avoid selling properties, unless you need cash to buy weapons, armor or vehicles. You only get back 50% of you initial investment. This is a very poor return.
  • Make sure you leave enough to cover the upkeep of these purchases.
  • Once you have completed the numbers in Column C, use Column “10″ as a guide only. Continue to buy the highest value property you can afford.
  • Check the payout clock. Try to buy before it resets.
  • The best time to buy properties is when your health is below the minimum to fight. Your enemies can’t get lucky and ambush you in the middle of a purchase.
