  • Buy 3 Alta Street, Apt 57. It’s a luxury apartment with 10 car garage that enables heists for just $223k. It has immediate access to LSC and gun clubs with a central city location and a great view. Steps in front prevent ram raids on you as you walk out. It is the “best” apartment on a weighting of factors most players would consider important.
  • Buy the Zentorno for $750k; the best car in the game. See full car statistics herehttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...hzDGuNMzwNtjVjIJzdRmrHu6Y/edit#gid=1868604557The Adder has a higher top speed but you never spend long at top speed. The Zentorno is equal or superior in the stats that matter (acceleration, braking and handling) and costs $250k less. Most importantly, it has no back window, making it more bulletproof than the Karin Karuma Armoured from behind. Honourable mentions to the Tourismo R and Voltic, but the Zentorno is the best in slot.
  • Buy the Karin Karuma (Armoured) as soon as you unlock it. Best four door in the game, it includes 100% armour and tiny armoured windows make it invaluable on many missions.
  • Complete the Flying School with all golds. I finished it and earned $300k+ whilst leveling my flying to 80/100. Youtube if you get stuck, there’s some tricks. (Use tape to hold the air brake to 80% on the 3rd last for example).
  • Grab a mission from Gerald and ignore him, you can now no-longer get stars. Go down to Vespucci beach and begin clobbering people. Every 20 hits on a non-dead NPC levels your strength by 1. Women seem to only ever take 1 hit. Some men take up to 4. As long as they make a sound when you hit them, it still counted. Sprint between every hit and you’ll be leveling you stamina as you go. It took me two ingame days (1.5hrs IRL) to cap Strength. I earned 2 bars of Stamina along the way. I recomend during the night or rainy weather, putting a hair/rubber band between you controller’s analog sticks whilst in stealth. The population is too low to grind strength efficiently at these times, instead grind stealth, takes 45mins to cap stealth walking in circles while you go make a coffee and dinner.
  • Grab a friend or random, set up a 1 lap race of Criminal records and take turns winning this 30 second race. You need 43 wins to unlock all performance enhancing mods. Critically, Turbo unlocks earlier at 19 wins and racing brakes at 39 wins. Braking makes you go faster ;) You cars are now open to all performance enhancing mods.
  • Weapons, whilst you’re low level make sure you have: Micro SMG (shooting from your car), Special Carbine (shooting on foot), Homing Launcher (burst vehicle damage) and the Sniper as soon as it unlocks (long range safety kills). These are your four best-in-slot utility weapons until much later in the game.
  • Finish of capping your driving by following a 1-50 insane jumps guide on youtube.
  • Cap Lung Capacity using a pool of water close to a grocery store. Dive down and gorge on snacks while you’re under to extend the time you’re underwater and improving your capacity.
  • I’m choosing not to grind shooting but if you want to, you need a friend to go into the gun range with or just hunker down somewhere safe and pick headshots off police alone. Headshots raise it much faster than body shots.

Major problem with that car,it is bugged and disappears from your garage,only way to get it back is by a R* support ticket,it is a known bug from the 360/PS3 version,so when it goes missing you are down 750k and waiting on R* to give it back.

You can only have one personal vehicle out of the garage at one time, if yours is miles away, run into your garage and pull another out and go back in. voila it's back.
Usefull if you've had to call the insurance.

Call insurance then log out in town, log back online and it also magically reappears in your garage(s) no more going to get it ;)
