Landlord Tycoon

Start with one rental house. Retire a real estate tycoon.

You're 22, with $15,000, a day job and a single rental in Tampa Bay. Hunt for motivated sellers, negotiate the price, line up a mortgage and collect rent every month. Grow a portfolio that pays you more than your job does, and keep it growing for the rest of a long life.

This isn't a tap-and-wait idle game. Every property runs on real numbers: price, down payment, mortgage rate, rent, occupancy, taxes, insurance and upkeep. Interest rates drift, the economy cycles through booms and recessions, and neighborhoods rise and fall with the local news. Buy well and your empire compounds. Overleverage and a bad year can sink you.
