100 %, just came here to say this . <| sep |> You can ' t separate them . 1 . 25 mil is a good start , but I wouldn ' t recommend blowing it on an office . You still need a warehouse and really to earn money fast doing CEO stuff you need a buzzard which is another 1 . 7 mil and you have to be rank 43 i think . Instead I would spend it on one of the cheapest apartments you can run heists out of and get a decent lower cost car . Find 2 more friends and do the heists . You can all earn an extra 2 million each by doing all the heists in order with the same crew . Plus the heist earnings are pretty good too . It will take a while but the heists are fun and you don ' t have to deal with griefers during them . Also when you start gta online I recommend turning on passive mode a lot of the time as you explore so people can ' t mess with you . Then disable passive just when you want to participate in something you can ' t do in passive mode . There is a lot to learn about gta online and you are in the right place . Read some of the guides here . It really is not that intuitive . I ' d say it takes a few 10 s of hours to really learn the ins and outs but when you do it ' s a lot of fun , especially if you have friends who play regularly .
