Couldn't find any streets on Nassau so have bought some local land in Yarm. Will local to buy some streets on Nassau when I can.
Name: OCUKEGON
In terms of bringing in cash, Is it advantageous to buy loads of streets around me at the start? What about filling 1 street with lots of houses or 1 house per street?

Just noticed an error with the game, if someone builds a hazzard on your street simply build a bonus building on it next time you get the card and the rent will start coming back in even though the hazzard is still in place
Is there really much point in spending big money on a building? I just put up a building which cost about £2 Million hoping to make good returns on the rent, only for someone to demolish it an hour later, and for someone else to then put a hazard on the same street a few minutes after that, aagghhh. Next time around i'm just going to scoop up a lot of streets, and fill them with cheap houses like someone mentioned earlier. At least in that way im only losing £50,000 on a property.
Find it kinda irritating that i have to wait for the next day's rent until i can do anything again. Wish there was some other way we could make money in the meantime

good find!

ive found a long road in america in the middle of no were with about 20-30 building spots. just gonna fill it with buildings and rake in the rent.
500k for a building to bring in 450k rent or 1,000,000 on a road to bring in 100k rent.

Thats the way i see it, works on several levels because if you fully build on on street places someone has to knock down a building before they can put a hazzard on the same road, seems to work well, then when you have some cash sell a cheap building and put a more expensive on in its place.

I don't think thats an error. Hazards and bonuses are opposites of one another and so when their numbers are in equilibrium there is no affect.
a 500k building only brings in 450k rent on a million pound road. On a cheape road a 500k house will bring in a lot lot less than 450k

Erm, this looks weird.
On a shorter road with nothing built on it:
Green house: 50,000
Rent Per Day: 7,000
On my longest road with a bonus and 3x 4 sided fortresses:
Green House: 50,000
Rent per day: 42,000
On another:
50,000
10,000
And another:
50,000
6,000
Can people check theirs? See if we can work out how this is working?

Nothing odd about it, same as normal monopoly, It's a percentage of the streets vale. More expensive the street cos, the more rent from the same building.
Which is why I think starting with 2x1mill streets is the way forward. Leaves 500k to build houses on each. And you will make 3mill in the first day

Being top of the local leaderboard comes with its disadvantages:

Yep. You don't have much to do. It's more like Fantasy Football than Football Manager.
This game is useless!
Log in this morning to find that someone sabbotged my main road (demolished my park the built a factory). However according to the timeline they did it less then an hour ago but I only got £1m rent (should have been over 6m), has the timer been reset?
I don't think I will bother playing after the reset, too much dedication needed!
Just reread above and I think I spat my dummy out
Oh well.
