Real Estate
As you gain money and capital, you should at some point invest in real estate. It keeps a returning amount of incoming, even when you’re not playing the game. The more money you invest, the more money to see returned over time.
You buy real estate by going to the parchment that’s next to the entrance of most houses & stalls. You select it with A, where you can see the price to purchase the house. It’s worthwhile to track down the owner and use expressions on them to gain their adoration.
Rent
Once you purchase a house, it’s usually a good idea to start renting it out. Rent immediately starts paying you the small dividends.
- Rent accumulates once every 5 minutes you’re playing in-game.
- Rent accumulates once every 60 minutes if you’re not playing Fable II. You will receive it next time you load.
You can increase your rent price, but it will give your Corruption points. You can lower your rent, too, to receive Purity points. You can also enter into Redecoration mode and upgrade your furniture around the house, upping the houses value (and rent).
Resell
There is more uses than purely renting out property, however. Using Redecoration mode, you can buy a house, redecorate with fancier furniture, and then resell the house for a profit. This is a great quick way to turn around your investments!
Sleeping benefits
Another benefit of a house is you gain special benefits by sleeping their, depending on the bonuses (you can view them by going into the parchment menu, they’re listed down below). This can make you more attractive, gain special abilities, improve your pre-existing abilities, and have many different effects. It’s worth while to check out these special bonuses before purchasing a house!
Beginning your investments
I suggest starting out purchasing the Stalls in Bowerstone Market, as well as a house there as soon as you can. They’re low cost investments with a pretty good return on the rent. With the added capital you get from the stalls, you can begin investing in larger real estate purchases, furniture upgrades, and more.

Some words used in this may be confusing to some readers, the makers of this website ‘think’ they know the terminology.
“As you gain money and capital, you should invest in real estate”- You cant get capital without having something you own rise in value beyond what you payed for it, its not money you have but money you could potentially have, by selling the item. Since you haven’t bought a house yet, you dont have any form of ‘capital’ what so ever.
And “Rent immediately starts paying you small dividends”- Dividends is money you get from owning shares in a company. Obviously nothing to do with this.
This is just a game with a really simple version of a property market. Just cut the crap and dont use words you have no clue what they mean.

Josh, capital is essentially anything you have beyond raw Gold. Your potions, books, food, whatever you can sell for Gold is capital. I know I couldn’t afford my first house until I sold off a lot of unused books, clothing, etc. You accumulate a lot more than just pure Gold from doing quests.
The dividend portion I am technically wrong about, but I was not using it as a economic term. It was just the first word to pop into my head for a small, reoccurring payment.
Not trying to be argumentative here, but the terms I’m using aren’t really advanced economics ideals that I’m addressing incorrectly, just some basic word usage that does make sense if you’re not over-analyzing it. :)
