Schedule 1: How to unlock the Barn

In Schedule 1, the Barn is an upgrade from the initial Bungalow, offering expansive space for various operations. Its acquisition allows players to scale their businesses, manage inventory more efficiently, and explore advanced gameplay mechanics. However, unlocking it requires specific actions and investments.

Follow these steps to unlock the Barn:

1) Financial preparation

The first requirement is to accumulate sufficient finances. The Barn costs $25,000, which is a big expenditure, especially in the early stages of the game. To achieve this goal, players must prioritize successful projects and good financial management.

Make sure to clean the amount before proceeding to purchase the Barn. The best options for laundering the money are the Laundromat ($4,000 one-time business cost) or the Post Office ($10,000 one-time business cost).

2) Locate Ray’s Real Estate

After successfully acquiring the funds and laundering them, head to Ray’s Real Estate to initiate the purchase. However, the game does not prominently mark this location on the map, posing a challenge for players.

Make sure to unlock the Downtown area before purchasing the Barn. Ray's Real Estate is located in the Downtown area on the far right side of the map in Hyland Point.

3) Purchase the Barn

When you find Ray's Real Estate, contact him to begin the property acquisition process. Ensure that you have the $25,000 needed to execute the purchase.

It is important to note that Ray doesn't take cash; he only accepts online payments. After you've purchased the Barn, you can use it.
