Watch for hot bargains, keep an eye on properties that have been on the market and might be picked up on the cheap, play to your strengths, take a fixer-upper and make it beautiful or grab something uptown and hang on as its value goes through the roof. Try your hand as a speculator and hope for a lucky break or earn your money the old fashioned way with elbow grease and sweat equity; it's all there to be had in Real E$tate Empire, the game that's part game, part simulator, all fun!
