Best properties to have before GTA Online Summer Update 2024

1) Auto Shop

The Auto Shop in Grand Theft Auto Online was introduced as part of the Los Santos Tuners update, which brought a record number of players to this game. Now, these gamers wouldn't have happened if the missions added by this DLC weren't entertaining.

If you want to play these missions, which are a series of exciting mini-heists, you need to own an Auto Shop. This property also serves as a customizable garage. Some vehicle modifications, such as classic paint jobs, will already be unlocked when you get this property and can be used free of charge in it.

As such, the Auto Shop is an essential property you should own before GTA Online Summer Update 2024 comes out.

2) Salvage Yard

The Salvage Yard, which was added to the game with The Chop Shop DLC, is the newest business you can own before the GTA Online Summer Update 2024. This property lets you run the recently added Vehicle Robberies, which are mini-heists focused on stealing a specific vehicle. Occasionally, one of these cars might be available for adding to your garage.

There's also a towing service that you can do if you buy a Tow Truck as part of the business. It's a slightly different, more relaxing experience for when you just want something simple and peaceful to do in the game.

3) Agency

The Agency grants you access to some of the best missions in Grand Theft Auto Online from The Contract DLC, which also includes Franklin Clinton from story mode. While the missions themselves are quite profitable, this property also lets you earn passive money, which will increase if you play a certain number of Security Contracts.

However, the best reason to buy an Agency before GTA Online Summer Update 2024 arrives is that it has a ton of exclusive and useful features. This includes the ability to install Imani Tech on eligible vehicles as well as an armory that lets you buy almost all available in-game weapons and also upgrade them to their Mk II variants.

The Bunker sales can generate up to $1 million in profits per batch, while the Ammu-Nation Contracts will let you earn up to $50,000 every 48 minutes (in-game day). In addition, you'll also be able to unlock some essential weapon upgrades, attachments, skins, ammo types, and even vehicle weapons.

The Nightclub is one of the best businesses you can have before GTA Online Summer Update 2024 comes out. It offers a steady passive income in Grand Theft Auto Online of up to $50,000 per in-game day (48 minutes) as long as you keep your Nightclub popularity high.

The establishment is also perfect for using it in conjunction with the Gunrunning (Bunker) and MC (Motorcycle Club) Businesses. You can manage all of this from your Nightclub PC, where you can assign technicians to source products for these businesses.
