Steal From Armored Cars

  • As a steady and consistent robbery target, armored cars are perfect. Armored cars appear as blue dots on the map. There are a number of armored car robbing tips on our tips page here. You can get $5000 from a armored car robbery. Although there are a few ways of getting the back doors open, you can drive into the water and viola, they’ll open!

 Playing the Stock Market

  • When doing the assassination missions for Lester as Franklin, he will always hint about stock prices. If the hint isn’t strong enough, go onto your browser and buy a shit load of stock for the company mentioned before you start the mission. You can usually double your money or more once you sell the stock afterwards 🙂 – goodkidmAAdcity

Buy Sonar Collections Dock in Paleto Cove

  • Every radio active waste you collect with a submarine gets you $23k. You just hop in the sub and the Trackify app opens up showing you exactly where the waste is! All the waste is fairly close. Around a 25 second trip to each one! It’s an insanely effective way to get money. I’m going to make what I just spent on the business in ~5-10 minutes! How fun. – ItsFPJ
  • The dock costs $250k and you get $23k back for each barrel. There is a total of 30 barrels so you can make something like $440k profit. – OSS1E

I initially did it with the worst driver, worst gunman, and best hacker, and the worst gunman crashed and I somehow didn’t pick up his loot. Ended up with 130k for Michael 70k for Franklin and I decided to redo the mission. I want to experiment with different setups for the heist. – n1ch0la5
