The economy in Grand Theft Auto 5 Online is looking to be a fairly flexible animal.
Apparently the most important feature is that you will lose a lot of money if you die. This makes banking money amongst the most important things you can do, as at any moment, a griefer can swoop in and blast your face off, picking up that $100,000 you were just carelessly wandering about with.
But before you bank the money, you need to make it first. So here are some methods to do just that.
Fencing Cars
The easiest and most efficient method for making money is by jacking cars and selling them. A couple of rules come into play here, firstly that you can’t sell more than one car a day. The second is that you can’t sell a luxury sports car. You’ll need to pick up a mid-range vehicle to steal.
Once you have a suitable car, drive up to any Los Santos Customs shop and enter it. Inside, you will see an option to sell the car. Select this option and you’ll be reimbursed about 6000 to 11,000 dollars per car.

How To Sell High-end Cars
In GTA Online, you might notice that the game repeats the cars you already own. The trick is to store a high-end car in your garage and then sell it every 48-minute mark at Los Santos Customs.
Simeon’s Totally Legit Business
Remember Simeon Yetarian? Franklin’s old boss? Well, it seems that you can do some jobs for him by ‘repossessing’ certain vehicles that he expresses a desire in having returned to him. You should be able to find information related to this in your phone’s text messages.
Jobs
You and your crew can do various jobs in GTA 5 Online. These vary quite widely and give different rewards based on the difficulty level of the job. However, doing many of these will net you juicy rewards and will also provide you with more contacts, enabling you to do even more jobs.
It’s not easy money, but it’s quite a lot.
Robbing Stores
You can rob stores in GTA Online to make some quick cash. Stores that you can rob are marked on your radar. It is recommended that you wear a mask before starting any robbery as you won't be recognized the next time you will rob the same store.
You can read our GTA 5 Store Heists Guid e for more on how to go about robbing different stores in the game.
Best Missions To Farm Money
You can take this mission when you are Rank 6. Call Gerald on your phone and take the mission to retrieve and deliver cocaine to his apartment. You will need the firepower for this mission but you can complete it in five minutes may be 3 depending on your shooting skills.
Completing this mission successfully will net you $3000 which is good money at the starting levels.
After leveling up your character a bit, you will unlock even more lucrative missions from not only Gerald but Lester as well. For example Violent Duct and No Hay Bronca are two missions which on average will net you around $9000 and take around 3 5 minutes.
Around level 20 22, you will also start receiving missions from Lester. Completing these missions will net you $10,000 on average.
Note. The patch blocked the replay mission option but you can still do it by repeatedly pressing RT just as countdown ends after the mission and mission will re-start. Make sure you don't keep it pressed, you basically need to spam the RT button just as the countdown ends after the mission and hopefully, it will restart the mission.
