I created a new family so this was a bit more difficult than selecting the Landgrabbs.

I found that the easiest business to buy out was the grocery shop. This cost $7,000 to buy into and $20,000 to buy out. This is fairly cheap if your sims have a high paying job.

To buy out a commercial property you must first partner with the company. To partner with a company you must go to the world map and select the option "partner with this company." The option will come up when you have enough money and you won't be able to even see it if you don't have enough. Once you are a partner of a business you can then spend some more cash and completely buy out the property. You buy it out the same way you partner with it, select the business from the world map but this time it will say "buy out this company." Like before the option won't even be visible unless you have enough money. The following is the amount of money that each business in the game costs to be partners with.

Diner - $6,000
Bookstore - $7,000
Supermarket - $7,000
Bistro - $12,500
Spa - $15,000
Charity warehouse - $15,000
Theatre - $18,000
Office building - $18,000
Hospital - $30,000
Stadium - $35,000
Science lab - $40,000

To get the trophy however you need to own the business so the following is the cost to actually own the property.

Diner - $18,000
Bookstore - $20,000
Supermarket - $20,000
Bistro - $25,000
Spa - $35,000
Charity warehouse - $35,000
Theatre - $40,000
Office building - $40,000
Hospital - $75,000
Stadium - $80,000
Science lab - $100,000

As you can see the cheapest one is the diner and it will cost you $24,000 in total. Once you buy any of these properties you will unlock the trophy.

To buy out a commercial property in town you first need to partner with the owners. The option will only become available once you have enough simoleons (money). The cheapest commercial property to buy out is "Scowned!" it costs $6,000 to partner with them and then a further $20,000 to buy out the owners. So all in all you will need $26,000.
