I believe MA sold them at 10k peds initially, just like NI shops are sold to players at 10k peds (now players are selling it for 30k peds) . Only fools will buy this shops/hangers for 30k peds (at least not for me, i cannot justify spending 30k to buy an item which cant generate more peds return each day/week), i only invest money in products that give consistent payouts; and has a appreciating value, this are assets
In my perspective, shops/hangers are not assets, unless you can accentuate their worth/value by earning more peds for you every week after u bought the shops/hangers. Estate deeds are only worth 500 peds when u pawn it to a bank, remember that
