Can u sell properties in gta 5 online

One of the earliest and most important investments of your criminal career in Grand Theft Auto 5 Online is the purchase of an apartment, house or garage. But, eventually, there comes a time when you'll want to sell property in GTA 5 Online.

Each piece of real estate takes up one deed allotment for your character, and you may only have three active deeds in total. So be smart in what you buy, and know how you're going to sell it if you need funds quick.

Here's everything you need to know about how to buy and sell property in GTA 5 Online.

GTA 5 Online: How to buy property

To purchase real estate in GTA 5 Online, pull up your smartphone and select the web key (the white wireframe sphere against a blue background). Then, select the "Dynasty 8" link in the lower left-hand corner of the homepage.

Click "View Property Listings" on the following page. You'll be looking at an interactive map of Los Santos and Blaine County that shows all the apartments and garages you can purchase. You can filter by cost and location.

If you click on the house-shaped icons on the right, the Dynasty 8 website will display the home, apartment or garage you are inquiring about on the left side of the screen so you can review the price and unit details.

Remember, garages are purely used for car storage. They lack the basic amenities you find in apartments or houses. That's why apartments and houses can be much more expensive than garages.

GTA 5 Online: Why you should buy a home

You don't need all the things you get with an apartment or house in GTA 5 Online, but it's nice to have a home base. It can be nice to just hang out in your house and watch the in-game television shows or listen to talk radio while you wait for your friends to log on.

You can also practice your endurance by downing whiskey shots and glasses of wine, and, of course, a free bong typically comes included with every home — at least in our experience. You can also spend money on new decorations for apartments and homes if that's your sort of fun.

On the practical side of things, you can set your spawn point to specific homes you own. So it makes sense to purchase real estate strategically. 

If you like stealing helicopters and planes, buy a place near an airfield in the middle of the desert for quick access. That's an easier solution than trying to break into the main Los Santos airport.

How to sell property in GTA 5 Online: The smart way to do it

As we said, you only have three deeds to use in GTA 5 Online. That means that if you buy three apartments you will have to sell one of those properties before you buy a fourth.

You also cannot sell a piece of property in GTA 5 Online unless you replace it with something else. This can be frustrating if you have millions of dollars locked up in real estate in GTA 5 Online that you never use. In that case, find an extremely cheap property to pick up, like a garage.

You will be refunded some but not necessarily all of the difference between the two properties. It's a janky way to sell old real estate but it's the best you can do until and unless Rockstar Games allows GTA Online players to just sell real estate, period.

Buying property in GTA Online is an expensive decision, especially early in the game when money is tight. Hopefully, you’ll eventually be able to upgrade your apartment and business, but can you sell your existing properties? Here’s everything you need to know about property management in GTA Online.

Grand Theft Auto 5 is almost a decade old, but millions of players still log into GTA Online every month, making it one of the most popular games in the world.

With Heists, races, and missions to complete, there’s always plenty for you to do around Los Santos. On top of all that, players can also invest in property. Whether you’re buying a luxury pad in a skyscraper, or a new garage to house your car collection, there’s plenty to choose from in the San Andreas property market.

What happens when you’re ready for an upgrade though? Can you sell them off and get your money back? Here’s everything you need to know.

How to sell an apartment or garage in GTA Online

Plenty of GTA Online players have properties they no longer use. Maybe you bought a basic apartment when you first got to Los Santos and now want a penthouse sweet. What do you do with your existing property? Can you sell it?

Unfortunately, not at the moment. Currently, there is no direct way to sell any property you own in GTA Online. While the sad reality is that you’ll never get all your money back, the good news is that there is a way to recoup some of that hard-earned cash.

Players can own a maximum of six properties in San Andreas county at one time, and to get some of your money back, you’ll need to swap your expensive building for a cheaper one.

While you won’t get all your money back, you will be refunded the difference between the value of your old property, and the price you pay for the new one. For example, if you buy a $2 million apartment and exchange it for a $250,000 one, you’ll get $1.75 million back.

To do this:

1. Open your cellphone and go to the internet web browser
2. Go to Dynasty 8 Real Estate on the ‘Money and Services’ menu.
3. Choose a property that you want to buy. If you want to make as much money as possible, select the cheapest one.
4. Purchase the building, and select which property you want to sell to make room for the new one.
5. The money will be deposited into your account, and you’ll no longer be able to access the building you sold.

Unfortunately, this is the only way to get money back from properties in GTA Online right now. While it’s not ideal, it’s better than being stuck with a building you don’t want.

Hopefully, Rockstar Games can update this system to be more straightforward in the future. Otherwise, players could be waiting as long as GTA 6’s release.
