How to unlock the American Dream achievement in Grand Theft Auto V - Definitive Guide
So you start by loading into online as a new character and when you then get the option to pick a direction use executive (others should work haven't tried, please comment if other ones work) pick your options and then as soon as the introduction is completed where you go and pick up your weapons and other things you are given the achievement, you are given a free apartment with 10 car garage which is why you don't need to buy one.
Please tell me ways I can improve the guide if you vote thumb down as this is my first guide
Edit : Thanks to DragenKnite for telling this is also given when doing the biker route, I would assume you get it doing the other ones too
To get an Apartment and Garage you need to be at least Rank 5 and have $80,000 cash in the bank. You will get money fairly quickly by holding up stores, winning competitive match types, finishing missions and races or by collecting vehicles for Simeon or selling them at Los Santos Customs. Once you have $80,000, open your web browser and either click the "Dynasty 8" advert or go to the "Money and Services" tab and select the Dynasty 8 website (www.dynasty8realestate.com) and scroll down until you see the "0112 S Rockford Dr, Apt 13" property that costs $80,000. It comes with a garage so you won't need to invest money in a separate one. As soon as you purchase the property, the "Apartment" and "Garage" requirements will be fulfilled.
You must buy a property from the Internet via your phone, this is because the trophy won't unlock if you buy one from the "For Sale" signs in front of the various properties dotted around the map.
During your time on GTA Online, you will need complete various jobs and activities in order to save enough money to buy an apartment, garage and an insured vehicle. Near the beginning of your Online experience, Simeon will tell you to grab a vehicle and bring it to the nearest Los Santos Customs shop. Here, you can respray and insure the vehicle for free, because he is covering the cost.
As for the apartment and garage, you must be at least a Rank 5 before you can purchase property. Once you are of rank and have enough money, pull up your in-game cellphone and check the real estate advert, "Dynasty 8," on home page of the Internet. Find an apartment with an attached garage that is both affordable and suits your needs, then purchase it through the website. The achievement will unlock immediately after purchasing the apartment and garage if you still own your insured vehicle.
Many people have reported that if you try to buy an apartment or garage through the real estate signs on the actual property, the achievement will not unlock. In order to avoid this, just make sure you purchase property through Dynasty 8 website on the Internet. A big thanks to Just Blaze for confirmation on this glitchy aspect of the achievement.

1. Have a car with a tracker and insurance (it can be stolen).
2. Buy real estate with a garage (can be for 2 cars. Costs from 80 thousand). Buying a detached garage does not give you a trophy.
Video guide of what to do and where to click when we save enough money.
Notes:
1. The trophy is buggy, and if the statistics server is unstable, the trophy may not appear, although you will receive an apartment (and the money will be withdrawn accordingly). You will have to buy another apartment when the server works stably (and you earn money for it).
When purchasing a second property (second apartment), the first one will be automatically sold for about 60% of its initial cost. If the garage of the property being sold (garage or apartment with it) contains more cars than the parking spaces in the new one, you will lose some of the cars.
2. It is advisable to buy an apartment after receiving a tracker and car insurance.
3. Buy ONLY through your phone!!!
