As you are starting from scratch. If you have not bought it yet, buy a premium online edition.. cdkeys have it for 9.99.
This will give you a massive head start and as the game stands you need one.

It will give you a CEO office, a bunker, clubhouse a decent car and 1 million.

There is no getting away from the fact the game is geared to make R* money by making most things out of reach. However grinding can get you the starting cash to make the game easier to make money, like a Kuruma, and a Buzzard. From that point, life is a little easier.

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.
