In 479 monthes (3 hours and 2 movies for me XD) I made the entire map fully upgraded banks, all 10 trophies, 100 workers, over 1 million dollars and counting, $343500 total rent, total value of $19240244

The basic design is okay, but it lacks any.. well, any point. You can make up your own - e.g. fill up every property with a fully upgraded bank. But that's not too fulfilling. There needs to be some end point where you win; otherwise it just turns out to be Whack a Mole (repairing all of your properties), but it doesn't speed up and there's nowhere to go from there.

There needs to be the ability to either take out mortgages, or otherwise borrow money. Otherwise the game is wayyy toooo slowwwww...

the value increase on the house when you make the decking upgrade is bugged. it should increase $6000, but its increasing only $600.

What the hell is up with this city? The only buildings here are banks, all owned by the same company, all look exactly the same, except for facing different directions.

ima noob: Your strategy fails. The property will break and when broken properties don't earn rent.
For anyone finding the game hard the fastest way to get to banks is to build a property, renovate it and sell it quickly and repeat on larger properties. I found the final upgrade on the one bedroom house isn't worth it in terms of material costs. Relying on rents takes way too long.

needs a challange to it rather than leave your computer there for half an hour with a teir one house and come back with plenty of money

funny game but please auto repair things with idle workers !!! Also supplies are too expensive, and the return on investment looks the same in % whatever the building you are placing.

its an idle game y do i have to repair every 5 min i should be able to watch a show and keep the game on at the same time

It needs a speed up button, and as a tip, rent your houses until you have all the upgrades, and then keep it until all the houses around it have the max upgrades for maximum profit.

Either a speed up button, or (and only if this is due to the game) make it so it doesn't stop if you go to another tab. Its a good game, but 3/5 for playability.

oh, and, i find it a bit racist that you you don't have to pay your mexicans perpetually. You give them money up front and then you own them. Abraham Lincoln would like a word with you...

Welcome to Banktown!
Seriously: Very nice idea, but rather terrible execution. Aside from repair being a chore more than a gameplay element(have me hire separate repairmen and deduct from my budget regulary, same "effect" and less annoying), it's basically all banks as optimum, mainly because there is no effect, e.g. having a school and police station nearby could increase land value, and the bank "draws" from the neighboring tiles value to determine it's rent, while not having value of it's own. There would have been plenty of options...build a cheap park to raise land value? or a prison that pays high rent but strongly lowers the value? Still, looking forward to the Sequel if it fixes those things.

I never knew putting 50 banks in one spot with no people around can be so profitable. Maybe it's because I haven't paid my workers in over 10 years ever since I smuggled them from Romania :).

the problem is not the game being slow, is that if not visible on screen it will automatically pause (or run very slowly ...)

Too much repairing or need of a repair all button.I mean do you really have to repair every house every 3 months of the game? Noted that when i destroy a broken "need repair" house and rebuild on it, my new house is broken and needs to be repaired.

Uhm, yeah. Save doesn't work. I played for an hour and refreshed the page to make sure that my progress was saved. It wasn't. 4/5 for the concept, 2/5 for the playability. If you aren't going to add a fast forward button, at least make sure that your continue button works.

For those of you that think this game is slow, let it be a lesson to you if you are ever going to rent. It takes 10 - 15 years for a landlord to make his money back from the initial investment in his property. Even after he makes his money back, he still has to buy materials and pay labor to make repairs. Landlords don't make the kind of money a lot of people think that they do. Add in the cost of insurance, property taxes and savings for future repairs, and a landlord doesn't start to profit until 15 - 20 years after he purchased the property... And that is assuming that the neighborhood hasn't turned ghetto by then. Pay your rent, and respect your landlords house. You may live there, but it isn't your house to do as you please in.

Not a bad game, only problems were that it's a little bit slow and when you buy the bench for school/police station/banks the picture changes to fence.
