How to Get Venture Money

Collect Money From the Cash App

Your Venture earnings are stored in the Cash app on your phone. You'll need to transfer it to to your wallet before you can use it. Make sure you regularly withdraw your cash since there's a maximum balance, meaning you'll stop earning money if you max it out.

Complete Ventures In Each Tier To Maximize Income

It's best to complete all the objectives in your current Empire Tier before purchasing and moving on to the next tier of Ventures, since the succeeding ones can be fairly expensive.

Completing each Venture as you build them lets you have a large surplus of cash, allowing you to purchase more properties without worrying about needing money for other things.
