Buy An Agency From The Internet

This is where many might trip up. Upon logging into GTA Online, Lamar will call you about a new project an old friend is working on. To actually meet the old friend, who is Franklin, you have to buy a certain building from the Dynasty8 Executive.

Be careful not to buy the wrong building, because in-game purchases are not refundable.

There are four variants of the proper property currently available:

buying an agency GTA Online

Little Seoul

$2,010,000

Vespucci Canals

$2,145,000

Rockford Hills

$2,415,000

Hawick

$2,830,000

The icon for these properties looks like an upright rectangle with horizontal lines across it. If you don't have a lot of money already, unfortunately, two million dollars is not easy to come by.

You can either wait or try to do a heist to make some of the money. You can also buy a shark card, but it will cost about $25 or $30 of real-life money to afford even the cheapest property. Also, note that you don't need to add any extra amenities to the property.

You can also buy the starter pack for $9.99, which comes with one million dollars of in-game money in addition to some other goodies.

Go To Your Agency

Once purchased, go to the location, and once you enter, the cutscene will trigger that introduces you to Franklin, Lamar, and Chop. It's rather beefy, which will be good news for those who are desperate to know what the protagonist has been up to all this time.

Register As A CEO

Go to your interactions menu and register as a CEO to use the computer. From here, you can start doing contracts while Franklin says he is busy chasing down a bigger lead.

Unlocking The Dr. Dre Mission

Even at this point, you still cannot do the mission for Dr. Dre. Complete at least one security contract and then Frankling gives you a call to come to the golf course where the special VIP contract becomes available.
