How To Sell a House or Commercial Property

You cannot actually sell your house or property but you can exchange it for a new one. If you have a house worth $1,000,000 then you can use the value of that house to partially pay for a house that's worth $2,00,000. This means that overall, you will only need to pay the remaining million dollars for a two million dollar house.

You can make a profit with this method too. If your house is worth $1,000,000 but you exchange it for an apartment that's only worth $500,000, the remaining $500,00 that doesn't go towards the apartment goes into your bank.

If you want to go ahead with the "sale" of your property, follow these steps:

• Open your phone or computer and head to the internet browser.
  
• Open up the Dynasty8 website

• Click on the new house or property that you want to buy and you should be asked which property you want to exchange it for.
  
• Make your selection but remember that there is no way to undo this once you've confirmed the sale.
  
• Once you confirm the sale, the exchange will take place and you will have a new building.

Selling property in GTA Online is just one of the many ways that you can make money to spend on life in Los Santos. We have a guide that will show you how to make money this week. It's filled with handy tips and tricks for making a quick profit.

One of the earliest and most important investments of your criminal career in Grand Theft Auto 5 Online is the purchase of an apartment, house or garage. But, eventually, there comes a time when you'll want to sell property in GTA 5 Online.

Each piece of real estate takes up one deed allotment for your character, and you may only have three active deeds in total. So be smart in what you buy, and know how you're going to sell it if you need funds quick.

Here's everything you need to know about how to buy and sell property in GTA 5 Online.

GTA 5 Online: How to buy property

To purchase real estate in GTA 5 Online, pull up your smartphone and select the web key (the white wireframe sphere against a blue background). Then, select the "Dynasty 8" link in the lower left-hand corner of the homepage.

Click "View Property Listings" on the following page. You'll be looking at an interactive map of Los Santos and Blaine County that shows all the apartments and garages you can purchase. You can filter by cost and location.

If you click on the house-shaped icons on the right, the Dynasty 8 website will display the home, apartment or garage you are inquiring about on the left side of the screen so you can review the price and unit details.

Remember, garages are purely used for car storage. They lack the basic amenities you find in apartments or houses. That's why apartments and houses can be much more expensive than garages.

GTA 5 Online: Why you should buy a home

You don't need all the things you get with an apartment or house in GTA 5 Online, but it's nice to have a home base. It can be nice to just hang out in your house and watch the in-game television shows or listen to talk radio while you wait for your friends to log on.

You can also practice your endurance by downing whiskey shots and glasses of wine, and, of course, a free bong typically comes included with every home — at least in our experience. You can also spend money on new decorations for apartments and homes if that's your sort of fun.

On the practical side of things, you can set your spawn point to specific homes you own. So it makes sense to purchase real estate strategically. 

If you like stealing helicopters and planes, buy a place near an airfield in the middle of the desert for quick access. That's an easier solution than trying to break into the main Los Santos airport.

How to sell property in GTA 5 Online: The smart way to do it

As we said, you only have three deeds to use in GTA 5 Online. That means that if you buy three apartments you will have to sell one of those properties before you buy a fourth.

You also cannot sell a piece of property in GTA 5 Online unless you replace it with something else. This can be frustrating if you have millions of dollars locked up in real estate in GTA 5 Online that you never use. In that case, find an extremely cheap property to pick up, like a garage.

You will be refunded some but not necessarily all of the difference between the two properties. It's a janky way to sell old real estate but it's the best you can do until and unless Rockstar Games allows GTA Online players to just sell real estate, period.
