Martin said that it was likewise important to determine the return on financial investment on each residential or commercial property, indicating just how much you acquired it for versus just how much you can make back from lease.

However, not all residential or commercial properties are developed equivalent. Although the most expensive ones begin being the best investment, this changes as soon as homes and hotels are included.

Those wanting to win should aim to buy the three light blue cards which are The Angel, Islington, Euston Road and Pentonville Road, as these can generate the most cash once hotels are contributed to them.

After that, he recommends diving up the orange cards comprising of Vine Street, Marlborough Street, and Bow Street.

Martin highlighted that these are the residential or commercial properties that players are more than likely to land on after they've just left prison.

The worst set to buy in his opinion are the expensive greens - including Bond Street, Oxford Street, and Regent Street.

Therefore, Martin shared, it is vital to purchase one of each colour, so you can block challengers and have some take advantage of when it concerns doing offers later on down the line.

Martin included that if you have cards that are not part of a set, you should mortgage them to the bank for additional money to purchase houses, considering that they're unlikely to generate much earnings for you.
