Grand Theft Auto Online is one of the better multiplayer experiences out there. With a world to explore and live in, the game provides plenty of different customizations and modes to keep players busy as they spend time in Los Santos. One of the crucial customization elements in the game is properties.

Properties serve multiple purposes. Mainly, they can act as a hideout for players to hang out in without worrying about getting killed or hunted down by police. Some properties are also businesses, so extra cash can be earned. Luckily, there is plenty of properties to choose from in the game.

Updated January 15, 2022, by Chris Birsner: It's nearly eight years since Grand Theft Auto Online launched and the player base continues to be extremely active. This is partly thanks to Rockstar Games continuing to update the game at a rather frequent pace. It's because of this that players who are diving into the game now need to figure out how to get started. Once you have a good amount of money, you can look into purchasing a property. And luckily, there are even more properties for you to check out, from facilities that will earn you money to places to store all the various objects and vehicles you'll earn along the way.

However, there are also contracts that you can take on that involve major heist missions that could give a huge payout.
