Scion's Tip #8 - Dont be scared to sell early on.

On the official blog and in other forums i see a regular sentiment expressed, namely that people will be unlikely to sell their properties. Even if offered considerably more than the property is currently values at.

If your of this opinion i would caution you to rethink this approach. Currently (pre-restart) there is no advantage between two streets of the same length and purchase price, each is as good as the other.

If one is cover in a specific configuration of buildings then it is just as valuable as an empty street and the cash required to rebuild that same building configuration. Any Cash left over at the end was pure profit.

However as the game goes on if you are able to sell one of your developed streets and replace it with an undeveloped one then you may be at an advantage. This is because the undeveloped one can be built on with whichever buildings you can currently afford maximising the total return of the street. without first having to demolish/sell the existing buildings to make space.

There are however a coupld of proviso's to consider.

Firstly this assumes that you are able to obtain a street that is the same length (or longer) as the one your selling and that you will have time to build the buildings before the rent is calculated.

Secondly it doesnt account for the increased cost of negative chance cards as your net worth increase. If your unlucky you may find that the negative chance cards exhaust your available funds before you can bring the replacement street back up to the same rental income as the original. (note even destroying and replacing buildings you face the same effect from chance cards....however in that case the street rental is allways maximised)
