Maximising money
Said that I don't like the house farms, the best way is to give short jobs to your characters, and to plan accurately with your visits... Let's say that you could use 8 or 12 hours when you go to slee...

I am sure it has been discussed at length but what is the best way to maximise money for someone who logs on 2 or 3 times a day? Ideally I would like to keep playing for free but buildings and land are taking too long to save up for. I have seen the thread about the pink house, anything else? Thanks.
I don't like house-farming, but there's no denying it's the best way to make money. As a compromise, what I've done is create rectangular "blocks" for my houses, about six houses wide and two houses deep, surrounded by streets. Instead of all one kind of house, I deliberately patchwork it blue, purple, blue, pink, brown, white, purple, and so on, with the unique houses thrown in there as well. Toss in a few trees and flowers in the gaps and they just look like suburbs. Perhaps more importantly, I don't build huge blocks of houses that look like crap.
On the outskirts of my town, I keep Cletus' farm, the Muntz house, and a small knot of about six brown houses, lined up tightly so they look like a trailer park. I start my tapping there and check back as I play to collect the "taxes" a few times per play session.
If you have the donuts for it, buy the items that cost 40 donuts as they give you the best payout per donut spent. If you only get one, buy the news van as it gives you a 4-hour job at Channel 6 that pays as well as the 8-hour job. I have that and the cop car as well, which I move around the city.
