Brief analysis of ROI on Q1 and Q2 Houses

Day 5,162, 13:23 • Published in Republic of Moldova Romania

Hello!

Disclaimer: Not investment advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Which houses can generate a positive return on investment? What is the required initial investment? Is owning a house a must in eRepublik? I started with these questions in my mind and decided to my own little research.

Before proceeding please consider the following:
- I gathered information only from 4 neighbors of the Republic of Moldova;
- I am not obliged to be an employee of someone in particular;
- Price and salary data is valid as at eDay 5,162 11:00 AM;

The following table shows the average price of the first 3 market offers:

This is the main investment, the other being a small amount of CC for travelling, which can be offset with leftover moving tickets from the Weekly Challenge (still an opportunity cost 😃 )

The average net salary between eDay 5,159 and eDay 5,162 11:00 AM for eMD was 2,488.86 MDL, which translates to an average of 17,422.02 MDL for 7 days of work.

Let's consolidate the data:

Buying a Q1 house seems the only answer to my questions, unless:
- our imaginary eMD citizen compensates the difference from his 'normal' salary, or
- he earns a higher than average salary (is that sustainable for the employer?), or
- the price of a Q2 house is subsidized by someone else.

I did not gather information regarding the cities property taxes and bonuses, which can increase/decrease the net return.

Thank you for your time!

Great article!

There is always a bonus to the duration of the house. 🙂 In small towns it's 20%, which makes the house last 8.4 days instead of 7.

Thank you for your comment! You are right, I think it's possible to generate a small 'profit' with both houses bought when you account for bonuses. Of course, even without the duration bonus you can call the energy boost a profit.

Nice to see another capable reporter, keep up the good work! 🙂

Both Q houses are "profitable". They should be put together.
When I buy both houses Im not thinking about the return of CC they could provide. Its great! But I just want more energy. And in my opinion all the players should buy at least these two.

Io Stefan Voievod Day 5,162, 23:58

Thank you for your comment! I agree that even though you can have a negative return, it's still worth it to buy both houses for the energy boost. Depending on your salary and house duration bonus from your residence it is possible to benefit from both: a postive return and an energy boost.
