How to unlock the American Dream achievement in Grand Theft Auto V - Definitive Guide

This is a pretty simple achievement. The guide will contain the way that I used and it takes maybe 20 minutes.

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

[AUTOPOP] For this trophy you must own all three components simultaneously. The "Insured Vehicle" component of this trophy is automatically covered, as you will get your first insured vehicle for free as part of the tutorial missions. If for any reason you lose this vehicle, you can call "Mors Mutual Insurance" from your phone to get it back or steal a cheap car (not a "Premium" one as they are untrackable) and take it to a Los Santos Customs shop. Select Loss/Theft Prevention then buy the "Tracker" and "Insurance".

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.

Online real estate is purchased via telephone. We go into it (arrow up), then go to the Internet, section real estate and money, and there we find a company that sells Dynasty 8 real estate. The cheapest garage for two cars is located in the suburbs and costs $26,000, but you don’t have to take it, but take the cheapest apartment for 80,000 with two parking spaces - the trophy will be counted!

I put a tracker on the car, got insurance, then bought a garage through the phone, then saved up for a house and bought it through a stand on the street, they didn’t give me the trophy, I saved up again for the house and bought it through the phone, the trophy immediately popped up, so it’s better to buy everything through telephone...

To receive the trophy you must:

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!!!

I advise you to play in a closed session with a friend. My internet is bad, but I got it! Buy for 80 thousand. If you don’t spend a lot, then you should definitely reach lvl 15, and maybe even earlier!

Around level 20, armored cars will open; we find/buy/steal)) sticky bombs and rob armored cars. Velcro costs 600, 9k-12k drops from an armored car - the profit is obvious, especially since armored cars appear one after another ad infinitum)

the garage can be purchased separately (they are cheap) or at the same time as the house

It is enough to buy only a house with a garage.

To get this trophy, you do not have to buy an apartment through your phone. You CAN buy it on the street. For those who have a problem with their phone in the game (it doesn’t connect to the Internet), we buy an apartment on the street through a billboard in this very place. Before purchasing, I already had a car with insurance. You can’t buy through other billboards; you will write that you don’t have enough money (even though your apartment amount will be several times higher).

I got this trophy on Level 19 using a glitch that I accidentally discovered myself, the method is this: Create a shootout in the editor for 30 or 40 kills and for 30 or 40 minutes. I set the following parameters (PS. I don’t know if this affects the glitch or not, but it’s better to play it safe) Create a firefight (either regular or team, it doesn’t matter) and place objects all over the map as much as possible, especially at least one tank (it’s better to hide the tank somewhere- any further, so that other players don’t find it, because you will knock out all the players, kill all 16 players, win the match on a tank, and they give you a billion bucks and 400,000 experience... and one more minus, only once a glitch with money and experience is triggered on your created skirmish, the second time you will not receive the same amount, you will have to create a new skirmish (PS. I repeat once again, I don’t know exactly whether the glitch needs the parameters that I described above or not, but it’s better play it safe) I understand that I’m not the only one who came across this glitch, because recently I’ve been noticing a lot of players on the Internet with 1000 levels and players who have a reward of a billion or more on their head

In addition to the apartment, you need exactly the same insured vehicle. You will apply for insurance almost immediately, first online, when they tell you to find a car, and then just buy any apartment with a garage!
