Buy five income-generating properties

Properties open after Nervous Ron, and you can buy one by walking up to its For Sale sign or using the map marker. Any five will do across all your characters. The Vanilla Unicorn, vehicle storage and free properties do not count. Note that Michael and Franklin cannot buy anything until after Friends Reunited, and Trevor can only buy in Blaine County until then.

Complete a Booty Call

Go to the Vanilla Unicorn in Strawberry, buy a private dance from a dancer, which also ticks off the Hobbies entry, and build up her like meter by flirting and touching when no bouncer is watching. When the meter is full, she may offer her number. Sapphire, Juliet, Nikki and Infernus can all go home with you, but only some dancers will. Then call her up, pick her up and take her home.

Rob a store
