Best Properties to Buy in GTA 5: Fastest Payback
The story-mode properties that earn a weekly income, ranked by how many in-game weeks it takes for that income to repay the purchase price. Quickest first. This is the list to read before spending heist money.
Payback figures are the wiki's, based on the listed weekly income. Properties that earn per event rather than per week, and those that earn nothing, are not ranked.
