That will help out a lot.

Don't worry about the locations of the bunker. For the time being, I would set it to research as there are some items you will need at a later date.
You should have a frogger chopper. You can use that for VIP work solo and getting about in. Easy money is seeker, use the chopper, done in less than 5 mins.

Currently, biker sales are times 2. However, in true R* style, the upgrades for businesses are so expensive the return on them is minimal at low level.

Do you have a Twitch Prime account? If you have the Rainforest Prime. set up a twitch account, link it to prime, then link prime to your Social Club account and that is worth 200K a week. Easy money for nothing.

Use the Helicopter to complete the treasure hunt and Mauds bounty missions. Both give you items (Revolver and a hatchet) with lots of RP and 250K each when you complete the item tasks. Do them in the contact mission "Pier pressure" There you can run around the pier, and the beachfront killing as many people as your murderous heart desires without the cops showing up.

Make sure you spin the Casino wheel each day.

Also, do the flight school. Its good money and RP and helps bring up your stats.

If you are interested in your stats, some of them are easy to increase, just a time sink. Driving is easy, just drive on the wrong side of the road along the hard shoulder. Flight, just nick an aircraft and keep on landing it as LSA. So basically bunny hop up and down the runway. Strenth, fight people in pier pleasure mission. Walking around in stealth mode does that one. Stamina, ride a bike, run. Lung capacity. Swim under water.

Check out the GTA Online Reddit. There are loads of tips in the FAQ's and always the most efficient ways to make money.

I would avoid Doomsday Heists for the time being as they are a pain at low level with minimal vests. See if you can get some normal Heist invites. However, buy a Heavy armour combat vest. this gives you greater protection in these heists, A lot more. Only works in them though.

Oh and if you want a solo public session for whatever reason.....

Alt-tab out of GTA. Open up Resource monitor, click on the memory tab, locate the GTAV process, Right click, Suspend process for 6-7 seconds, then restart process, back to GTA. That should empty the lobby and you will be alone.. This can be helpful if the lobby is a mess and you just want to get on and do solo free roam stuff.

Thanks for the tips mate. :D

Completely forgot about the helicopter where is it stored? Will have to look out for it I've claimed it. Guess it might appear on the maze bank roof where my office is?

So far I've claimed all the free stuff. Done a few bounties, set up the money laundering business using the biker hide out.

The chopper is located on the elitas website. You will see it near the bottom.
You then call up Pegasus and it will be delivered to the nearest heliport. :)

Absolutely not imo, thats one big waste of time for a new player... reserched items still have to be bought once they are complete and they arnt cheap, also it's a lucky dip as to whether you get anything worth having,

set your bunker to turn the supplies into weapon stock and sell every ~2hrs 20mins for $210,000

I find bunker is the easiest "afk" money besides the nightclub. You won't get 210k per sale (210k is every 120 mins or so with bunker upgrades) based on a full stock of weapons either stolen or bought. But it's absolutely worth doing.

For me I purchase supplies for everything, I don't steal them as it allows me to sell cars, run contract missions or prepare for the casino heist or other random things. But if you don't have anything else to do just yet or lack the vehicles/businesses it's perfectly fine to steal supplies to keep yourself busy playing for now.

Without the workshop and staff upgrades is $150K for 25% Plus you will need more crates to keep it supplied as efficacy is not as good. The work to keep it supplied is so inefficient as a Solo player as you can make money much faster elsewhere, import Export for example.

Managed to find a session on lunch where people weren't blowing each other up for no reason got all the bounties done and did the 1st treasure hunt where you get the double action revolver only about level 12 I think. :(

Have you got the 250k for the headshots with the revolver and the 250k for the kills with that hatchet?

Same applies to research, I agree with cainer, it's better to make money as soon as possible and invest it back into the bunker research upgrades for improved efficiency and other businesses which to improve overall cash flow to get things running smoother.

Import/Export is fantastic solo, if I'm looking to make some money I often purchase supplies for the MC businesses and bunker and use the time waiting selling cars and doing some of the contact missions/steal diamonds before selling the bunker and MC and repeating.

@Matt_West_Mids another tip incase you didn't know, every 48 minutes of real life time you get billed for your business's etc, the timer starts when you join a server so it's worth changing server every ~45 minutes,
you get billed even more if you're signed in as a CEO or MC president at the time,
it's best to only sign in to CEO/MC when your doing the sell missions or VIP work

Sorry if this has been asked before but I was wanting to buy this for my pc and install lots of different mods to use in single player.
Does it matter where I buy it from? Steam? Rainforest etc?

Where ever you buy it, you'll need to use Rockstar Social Club so I would just get it for the cheapest price directly on Social Club as it'll probably be the cheapest price available.

Doesn't matter where you get it from. I got mine from cdkeys and it always uses the Rockstar Launcher anyway. I've been playing LSPDFR and recently started online. Haven't played story mode yet although already completed on console.
