Yes, you can buy apartments, houses, a strip club, other businesses...etc.

I haven\'t gotten anywhere near that far yet, though. Some
of the places you buy are save points/garages, while others
generate money for you.

Just when I think the game can\'t get any better, somebody tells me something that makes me think it is.

I just bought an apartment building. I can\'t collect rent or anything. It\'s just a save point with a measly one car garage. I think I could have used my $7,000 more wisely.

Yea some places dont make sense worth buying. Although later in the game it may make more sense. Im only at about 7%.

this game is amazing....altho i dont want to waste anymore typing when I could be playing. This game is better than GTA3 in every way and that says alot. Motercycles are finally back, the game is amazing going in stores awesone just driving around is cool missions seem a bit more complex and way more fun then in GTA3. GET THIS GAME. NOW! Now im back to play till my thumbs fall off, then i can use that as an excuse to skip school tomorrow and play more.

Robbing stores isn\'t very lucrative. The only store I found I could rob is The Jewelers, and I usually get no more than $50 without being noticed. Hopefully, there are banks in the game, and they only put crap stores like The Jewelers in Vice City as a warm up.

I can\'t wait to buy the condo penthouse.  with 3 parking spaces in the garage...and the best part, a heli-pad on the roof complete with your own personal helicopter!

And there is at least one gang on the first island i\'ve found.  They hang around the small housing area near the river, you can see the skyscraper built in the background.

And I hate the blurry trails left behind moving objects.  I know the first game had them but they are shown IN FORCE in VC.  Turning off the trails makes the graphics much improved in clarity and crispness.  Back to playing....

The Condo Penthouse? Ive only found the condo, for 4,000. Didnt decide to buy it although I may cause it gets annoying having to go ALL the way back to my apartment complex to save.
This game kicks all ass.

Well this condo penthouse is 14,000 and it\'s on the second island.  And let me tell you how fukin cool it is to fly those helicopters.  There are 2 or 3 rooftops with helicopters on them.  I\'ve flown the green police chopper and the blue news chopper, and really they fly the same.  They are touchy but i\'m so glad now that I can fly over the city without much effort.  I tried to find a normal airplane using the news chopper but maybe they don\'t show up until a few more missions are completed.  The second island opened up sooner than I expected.

I kinda figured the second island wold open up kinda quick considering they were only closed because of a "storm warning."
Anyway, I havent really explored the second island yet but the airport would be the first place I would look. Im recently trying to beat \'death row.\' Its a pain in the ass.
These missions are further in-depth then GTA3, some of them are even sneaky type covert ops. Then theres others that are just strait bust in and start shooting, and hopefully your the one that comes out alive type deal.

I think I robbed a pizza place...didn\'t get me much.
However, what\'s really lucrative is heading to the mall/crowded
areas, and watching for cops chasing down peds. If you go
hit the ped (don\'t know if shooting works, though), you get
$50 for being a "Good Citizen". If you continue to beat them
down while they are on the ground, you get $50 for every
kick, until their body disappears...

Can someone tell me if the apartment that you buy (1108
something-or-other street) that costs $3K has a garage? It\'s
just a save point, but maybe I didn\'t look for a garage hard
enough. I really want to save one of those dirtbikes...

Those dirtbikes arent easy to find. Although I did find out there kinda easier if you ride near the dirtbike courses. Thats where I found most of mine. Cant wait to get into the memorial stadium. Hell yes.
