The Real Estate Royale is an exhilarating and lucrative feature in Yakuza 0. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the mechanics, staff, stores, and payouts of the real estate game. Whether you're new to the world of Yakuza or a seasoned player, this guide will provide you with all the information you need to conquer the Real Estate Royale.
Introduction - Conquer the Billion Yen Mark
Starting the Real Estate mini-game might feel overwhelming at first, but fear not. Take your time and ease into it. Once you unlock the option to participate in Real Estate in Chapter 6, start by acquiring a few properties and familiarize yourself with the basics. Before splurging on the more expensive elements, build a solid foundation of knowledge. In no time, you'll be on your way to hitting the billion Yen mark.
Buying Properties - Start with a Simple "Look"
To purchase most properties, simply walk up to the door and select the "Look" interaction. While not all shops have this option, exploration will lead you to plenty of opportunities. Each area boasts 10 different stores that you can level up progressively. The prices vary depending on the location, with the Leisure Kings Area being the most affordable and the Gambling King Area being the most extravagant. Don't fret about choosing specific purchases; aim to buy them all eventually for maximum profit.
Hiring Staff - Unlock the Power of Talent
When you start, you'll have access to basic and relatively cheap staff members. As you progress through the game, you'll unlock the ability to hire more specialized staff. Completing specific Substories can introduce you to unique characters who will join your Real Estate team. Keep an eye out for these opportunities, as they can significantly boost your staff roster.

Managers - Financial Savvy & Economic Influence - Choose Wisely
Managers play a crucial role in your Real Estate success. Besides their salary, they possess two vital skills: Financial Savvy and Economic Influence. Financial Savvy helps you defend your property during Money Battles, but it's not essential. Economic Influence, on the other hand, is paramount. It ranges from -2 to +2, affecting your profit percentage. Negative influence reduces profit, while positive influence enhances it. Make strategic decisions to maximize your returns. Keep an eye on the manager's current day, represented by a number, and switch them out if their influence is waning.

Security - Problem Solving & Safety Influence - Adapt to the Situation
Security staff members are primarily required for protecting areas for short periods. Once you've achieved 100% share in an area and defeated the billionaire associated with it, remove the Security as they no longer serve a purpose. Problem Solving reflects their ability to handle In Trouble situations, while Safety Influence determines the likelihood of enemy billionaires initiating a Money Battle. Security members may also assist you in fights within their stationed area.
Advisors - Make the Right Investments - Boost Your Profits
Everytime you collect profits, you have the opportunity to invest in your properties. This process involves selecting a property and choosing from the available investors. While investing is not mandatory, it significantly boosts profits in the long run. Initially, you'll have access to more affordable advisors like Tomomi Takada and Hiro Chiba. As your wealth grows, you can consider investing in higher-ranked advisors. Each property requires a specific amount of points to rank up. When investing, pay attention to both the cost of the advisor and their skills. Aim for skills marked with circles or double circles, as they excel in their respective areas.
Money Battles - Defend Your Territory
Occasionally, you will face a Money Battle challenge from rival billionaires attempting to reclaim their territory. Engaging in a Money Battle can only occur while in the Agency Menu within the Real Estate office making a collection. When prompted with a Money Battle warning, your goal is to prevent your manager's Financial Savvy from reaching 0. An effective strategy is to invest money only when your manager's stars are almost depleted. This approach saves you millions in the long run. Remember, you can refill your manager's stars by simply swapping them out with another manager.
In Trouble - Handle It Swiftly
When attempting to gather profits, you might encounter an "In Trouble" warning. This freeze puts a halt to your progress on the Payout Meter until the issue is resolved. To locate the source of trouble, consult the map for a large red icon marking the trouble spot. Each area has only one specific location where trouble occurs, and familiarity will soon make these spots easy to identify. Trouble typically involves facing a group of enemies, and while the difficulty may vary, even the "hard" ones won't pose much of a challenge. Dispatch the trouble swiftly to resume reaping your profits. Remember, after dominating a specific territory, these problems cease to occur.
Discover the Wealth of Each Area
Below, you'll find a breakdown of the properties in each area, along with any relevant notes. It's worth noting that progress within each area follows a similar pattern. Once you reach a certain percentage, you'll face the billionaire associated with that area in a mini-game. Practice these mini-games beforehand to gain a significant advantage.
