Schedule 1 Property ROI Calculator
Compare every Schedule 1 property — motel, sweatshop, bungalow, barn, docks warehouse — by cost, loading bays, employee limit, and payback time at your current revenue.
"Days to afford" assumes you save every dollar. Real payback will be longer due to ingredient + employee costs.
| Property | Cost | Loading Bays | Employees | Area | Days to Afford | Payback Days | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Motel Room | $75 | 0 | 0 | Hyland Motel | Now | 1 d | Your starting property. Single room, no automation possible. |
| Sweatshop | $800 | 0 | 1 | Above Fat Dragon (Chinatown) | Now | 1 d | First step up — one employee, no loading bay. |
| Bungalow | $6,000 | 1 | 5 | Northtown suburb | 5 d | 8 d | First real production property. 1 loading bay, 5 employees. |
| Barn | $25,000 | 2 | 10 | Westville outskirts | 29 d | 32 d | Large rural property with 2 bays and room for 10 workers. |
| Docks Warehouse | $50,000 | 2 | 10 | Docks | 60 d | 63 d | Industrial-scale property near the waterfront. |
| Manor | $200,000 | 2 | 10 | Uptown | 248 d | 250 d | Endgame property — luxury setting, maximum prestige. |
Every Schedule 1 property and what it's good for
Property upgrades are the main progression loop in Schedule 1. Each property unlocks more loading bays (which let you stack more production stations) and more employee slots (so you can hire chemists, botanists, and packagers to automate the grind).
The ROI calculator above tells you, given your current cash and daily revenue, how many days you need to save up for each property — and how long the property "pays back" its cost at your current revenue rate.
Schedule 1 property progression path
- Motel Room ($75) — Your starting room. No automation, but free housing.
- Sweatshop ($800) — Above Fat Dragon (Chinatown). First employee. No loading bay.
- Bungalow ($6,000) — First real production base. 1 loading bay, 5 employees. Huge step up.
- Barn ($25,000) — Westville outskirts. 2 bays, 10 employees. Rural privacy.
- Docks Warehouse ($50,000) — Industrial waterfront. 2 bays, 10 employees. Pair with Docks customers.
- Manor ($200,000) — Uptown endgame. Maximum prestige + employee capacity.
Schedule 1 property FAQ
What's the best property to buy first in Schedule 1?
The Sweatshop at $800 is the fastest first upgrade — it unlocks your first employee. Save up to $6,000 for the Bungalow as soon as you can; that's where production really starts scaling.
Should I sell my old property when I buy a new one?
No — you can own multiple properties simultaneously, and stacking properties means you can have multiple production lines (one Bungalow for weed, one Barn for cocaine, etc.). Don't sell unless you're cash-strapped for a higher tier.
How are payback days calculated?
Payback days = property cost ÷ daily net revenue. It's a back-of-the-napkin number that assumes you save every dollar. Real payback is longer because of ingredient costs, employee wages, and reinvestment in supply.
