Taking over Diaz's mansion during the story gives Tommy his main base, the Vercetti Estate on Starfish Island, and unlocks property purchases across the city.

Asset properties such as the Malibu Club, the film studio and the boatyard come with their own missions. Finishing them makes the property earn money each day, which accumulates at the property until collected.

Safehouses and 100%

Other properties are safehouses for saving and storing vehicles. Buying assets is also part of the story's final requirements and of 100% completion.

FIELD NOTE

Buy the Malibu Club early: its missions are part of the main story and it pays a steady income.
