Real Estate Empire

This is a great game to learn the basics of real estate investing. It teaches to you start small and work your way up. It also teaches you how to "fix and flip" by focusing on fixing only the necessary things to increase value but not overspending. I would highly recommend this game if one is thinking about learning the very basics of real estate investing.

This is a game for simpletons. There is nearly nothing to do at all except buy something with a key click, click a few more times to fix a few minor things, and then click to sell it. You are rewarded with profit margins bordering "ludicrous" making 30-50 dollars per property. All of the prices look as if they are set in the 1920's. 70 dollars to re-carpet and entire house and other ludicrous repair costs bordering completely inane.

This game is nothing that I thought it would be. There is nothing to help you to really understand what to do. The tutorial was helpful but you can still be lost playing this game. It needs to be programmed more interesting so it will keep your attention. You can get bored fast with this. Waste of my money.

I'm a bit of nerd, so I'm into business sims and I figured I'd like this game. It's a single screen -- one neighborhood -- and you're constantly purchasing and upgrading properties, buying and selling with other computer players. The object is to make the most amount of money before time runs out (48 game months). Which isn't hard even on the hardest level. It's simply repetition of the same actions on the same screen, over and over. And you watch your money go up. Honestly, it's the kind of game that's fun to play the first time, but then sits on your shelf for months afterward because you don't have the motivation to play it again. If I were you, looking for a real estate sim, I'd maybe check out Donald Trump's Real Estate Tycoon (Jewel Case) first.
