Tip of the day "Value vs Price"

If you have been building big expensive towers its time to change your strategy. With the recent change in rent values bigger is not better, once you go over the 500K mark for building cost the return values on your buildings plummets and while it might seem your making more money in reality due to the different sizes of the buildings and depending on your street space you will end up making less or breaking even compared to smaller buildings.

If you concentrate on building smaller buildings with a more even return investment ratio in most cases you will be able to fit more of them on your street to equal a greater income or at the very least in equal income with a short return wait. The "Green House" and "City Center Cottage" in one day return 100% of their investment cost meaning you can build faster without losing any money.

If you tired of building 500 little houses then consider building building a "Nova Tower Block" costing 300k and returning 270K or 90% of your investment in a single day(Can also be applied to all other buildings between 150k-500k with only a small difference in return rates).
