Landlord Tycoon

Start with one rental house. Retire a real estate tycoon. You're 22, with $15,000, a day job and a single rental in Tampa Bay. Hunt for motivated sellers, negotiate the price, line up a mortgage and collect rent every month. Grow a portfolio that pays you more than your job does, and keep it growing for the rest of a long life. This isn't a tap-and-wait idle game. Every property runs on real numbers: price, down payment, mortgage rate, rent, occupancy, taxes, insurance and upkeep. Interest rates drift, the economy cycles through booms and recessions, and neighborhoods rise and fall with the local news. Buy well and your empire compounds. Overleverage and a bad year can sink you. 11 CITIES, ONE EMPIRE - Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, Austin, Los Angeles, Cheyenne, Washington DC, Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte, Boise and Seattle - Each city has its own satellite map, prices, economy, property taxes, state income tax and hazards - Buy in one city, sell in another, and watch your whole portfolio on one map 8 KINDS OF PROPERTY - Single-family homes and multifamily apartments - Retail plazas, warehouses and industrial parks - Vacant land you can build on - Beachfront condos, hotels and resorts, and self-storage facilities PLAY IT LIKE A REAL INVESTOR - Negotiate: make offers, take the counter or walk away - Flip foreclosures: buy bank-owned wrecks, rehab them and cash out - Cash-out refinance to pull equity and buy more - Run 1031 exchanges to defer capital gains tax - Choose lease terms, from 12-month leases to weekly vacation rentals - Hire property managers and set maintenance levels - Run hotels by nightly rate, season and occupancy - Trade stocks, funds and crypto on the side A LIFE, NOT JUST A LEDGER - Climb a career, pick your lifestyle and pay the cost of living - Rise through the ranks, from Side Hustler to Real Estate Tycoon - Your net worth is tracked for your whole life, and the game ends when you do MADE TO RESPECT YOU - No ads, ever - No account or sign-in - Plays offline; you only need a connection to make a purchase Tampa Bay is free to play forever.
