GTA V Online
After doing a quick search, I realized this didn't have its own thread. Anyone still playing GTA online? I'm on ps3, and I'm looking to possibly hook up with some people to do some heists or w/e.

GTA shenanigans is always fun! I play it on pc but I'm too far from it for the week.
(if anyone has PS4, I gots some shady biker and CEO businesses set up!)
And now I wait...
Ready to do some Import/Export, but would love some MC, CEO, heists, or just other shenanigans. Usually on 9pm PST.
With half a mil to spend, here are a couple of options based on if you're going solo or have at least 4 people:
Solo:
If you're mostly running solo, you can get the executive office and run the Headhunter and Sightseer CEO missions back to back for roughly $25k per completion. They take anywhere from 5-13 mins each to complete, and there are cooldowns between. However, if you start Headhunter, complete it, then wait the 5 min cooldown and do Sightseer, by the time you finish that, Headhunter should be ready to run again immediately. This lets you grind them out back to back, which can be done easily enough solo with a Buzzard.
Group:
Another option, if you have people to play with, is to get any apartment with a heist planning room and do heists. I don't recommend doing these with randoms because you'll probably be pulling your hair out before long.
If you've three other people you know or are willing to learn how to do the heists proficiently with, this will pay off in the long run.
You can do the Criminal Mastermind challenge and get about 12 million (with the Loyalty and All In Order Bonuses). This requires the same four players to complete all heists, in order, on hard, without anyone dying. You can fail the missions and redo them as many times as you need, but if anyone dies you have to start all over from the first heist.
This is a one time thing, but well worth it.
Long term, once you've about $3-$5 mil saved up, you can look into setting up one of the MC businesses. In order of startup expense and profitability they go Cocaine Lockup > Meth Lab > Counterfeit Cash > Weed Farm > Document Forgery.
Each of these come with three available upgrades: Staff, Equipment, and Security. Staff increases the speed of production, equipment I believe increases either the quality or amount, and security helps reduce the risk of getting raided by cops or rival (NPC) organisations.
A fully upgraded Cocaine Lockup selling a full load of product in the opposite county nets about $420k per sale, or half that in the county your business operates in. Production happens as long as your online and takes roughly 3 hours to fully complete. With three businesses, you can easily pull in over a mil a day.
There's a trick some people use where if you're in your apartment, clubhouse, office, etc and are watching the TV, it won't kick you for being idle, so you can step away or do whatever else and still have your businesses producing.
With the most recent DLC, you can by a car warehouse for a little over a million. After that, you can Source high end vehicles in the area to steal, Gone in 60 Seconds style. Get them back to your warehouse and you can sell them for various amounts based on the modifications made to them (so as to render them unrecognizable from the original vehicle).
At the highest modification investment, which is $20k, you can sell most of them for $100k, so that's $80 profit in a relatively short amount of time and with no cost involved to actually source the vehicle. So if you go to steal it and it gets blown up or whatever, you've wasted nothing but a couple of minutes and can immediately go source another one.
I'm rambling at this point, but yeah that's pretty much the rundown without going into -too- much detail.
TL;DR:
If you're playing by yourself and want to make money fast, grind Sightseer and Headhunter CEO missions back to back. If you have 3 other people you can trust, do Heists and maybe go for Criminal Mastermind challenge.
Try like the dickens to do the daily objectives. Those are 25k a day, 100k after 7 days in a row, and 500k for doing it 30 days in a row (and a platinum unlock). Each time you hit the milestones, get the reward (so each time you hit 7 days consecutive, you get 100k more).
@Kresslack is dead on for the pro-tips on what makes money, but if you can, I recommend waiting until R* discounts them again (unfortunately, offices just finished their 50% off). When the Buzzard and the Armored Kurama are discounted, those are must-haves.
Also, you can fidget with the network settings on your PS4 and set the MTU to 800. From what I understand it basically limits the packets your PS4 will send/receive, which splinters you away from other online lobbies, putting you in an online lobby on your own. The benefit is you'll be able to run CEO crate missions and MC supply stealing, and sales without anyone bothering you. Nothing to worry about now until you're ready to do that (buying an office, an MC clubhouse with a business).
If you haven't already, I can help you finish the Fleeca heist, which is a cool 175k for pretty easy work.
I sorry
Not much time right now, but I'll have more in January. I'm salivating that we could be 3/4 from running heists like a champ.
