nope

best semi passive stuff is still nightclub( which requires other businesses for max passive income) and bunker, you still have to do the sale missions to get the money

arcade and night club also have another passive income which only requires to visit a safe from time to time to collect money but it is only peanut money
around 5k every ingame day for the arcade while having bought all arcade machines
and 10k for the nightclub at max rep level
Why do people still use those outdated methods nowadays. I mean, it's useles, mere pocket change !

Cayo Perico gives you a solid 1.2 to 2.1 million GTA$ in a little less than a hour, and you can do that all by yourself (in fact, it's more profitable alone than with friends)...

Pretty much what cruste says.

The auto shop doesn't make money passively.

The closest, I guess, is how you can customize a car every once in a while and drive it over to clients, and that'll make you something like ~20-40k$, I guess. You're better off with vehicle cargo[gta.fandom.com] instead, though, as that can get you 80k$ instead (though you do have to fight some enemies).

The Arcade and Nightclub both generate a tiny bit of money completely passively (you just have to go pick it up from your safe once in a while), but it's not a significant amount.

Both the Nightclub and the Bunker can passively generate goods for you to sell, but you still have to deliver them yourself. It's probably the most "hands-off" way of making money.

For the Nightclub, you need other businesses to "feed" your nightclub production. For the bunker, you can just buy supplies.

Bottom line: as far as "passive" income is concerned, the bunker's probably the closest you'll find. And/or a nightclub, if you already have various other businesses, or plan to buy them.

Are you counting the panther? Because without it, net max solo's "only" about ~1.7m. Still very nice, but you're not going to be hitting over 2m.

"A little less than an hour", after a lot of practice. Doable, yes, but don't give people who've never done it false hopes of quick & easy cash without effort. I've seen plenty of people on this forum raging about how frustrating Cayo Perico can be at first.

Once you get the Sparrow (and Phantom Wedge for that Longfin mission), it's more "boring" than hard. Actually, this heist must be the easiest in GTAO.
It's true that invisible walls are frustrating, and Pavel talking 24/7 is tiring for the ears, but hey... I don't mind bearing some ridiculous russian accent for so much cash.
But I get the fact that grinding Cayo can be tiring, for sure.

It's certainly not hard once you know what you're doing. Don't get me wrong; I totally agree that Cayo Perico's a great moneymaker, especially for solo players, and I love that R* added it, as much as I might have gotten tired of doing it over and over by now.

I just wanted to temper your comment so as to not give players who haven't done it yet false hopes that they can just buy a sub and make their money back in two hours right off the bat.

Once they get used to it, yeah, but it might be a while before they get to that point.

Hell, I consider myself a pretty decent player (not the best, but decent), but I don't think I've ever done it under an hour. I think the best I've managed is something like ~65-70 minutes. I could probably get it under an hour if I really pushed myself, but I probably average closer to an hour and a half if I'm just doing it "normally".

Not saying it can't be done under an hour, obviously, but it's not something everybody's going to be able to do casually.
Oh come on, it's not THAT hard. If you're taking 1h30 or more to do it, that means you're not doing all missions one immediatly after the other, which is perfectly understandable since it's just a game.
I made a guide explaining how you can complete Cayo from 25k$ fee to the finale within 50 minutes, in case you're interested. Personally, I don't frankly understand using obsolete methods of earning $$ when you can get so much from Cayo (1.1-1.7mil as opposed to 300-400k for CEO buisness), but... people enjoy GTA the way they want :approved:

It's not hard, it just... takes time, I guess?

The ~65-70 I mentioned was me trying to do it all in one go as quickly and perfectly as possible. That's with a sparrow and using the longfin approach, just like you mentioned.

I'm honestly not sure what I could do to make it much faster. I could imagine getting it under an hour if I really pushed myself, but not by a lot, and it would require constant focus.

When I say an hour and a half, I mean just the Cayo Perico stuff, but not playing optimally, and being more casual about it.

Cayo Perico is the supreme method of making money, yes, but not everything is purely about money.

"Obsolete" methods can still earn a fair amount, and they offer a different experience.

Just because something isn't the absolute peak of efficiency doesn't mean it's suddenly completely worthless and obsolete.

I don't know why I'm bothering spelling it out, though, when I should just...

You can also pay 770,000 for two drivers to deliver them for you and cut your profit (after cost of the modifications) by about 60%! Yes, I'm still ass-mad about this. No I won't stop being ass-mad about this.

No, you can purchase the supplies.

It's called, work smarter, not harder.

Pointing out the obvious...a passive business works in the background without you doing anything. All you got to do is make the sale.

So why on Earth would you just do Cayo and have your nightclub sitting idle?

the nightclub requires a massive investment in mc business, gunrunners and/or ceo so the nc generates the warehouse stock to sell.
once you make profit on the initial investment in those businesses is when you shut them down and chill with passive through the night club.
not saying its bad but deffo a late game investment for some pocket money not a main source of income.

Because you have to be in a public lobby to sell it. Even if you suspend process it's still annoying switching lobbies. I stay in my private lobby and don't gotta deal with anything, it's not worth the effort to me. By that time I will have done half the setups for Cayo. Anything that involves me having to mess with a public lobby isn't worth my time but that's just personal preference.

If I need a change of pace I'll go do something else sure, usually a heist of some kind and let the host keep his money.

Or you can set it on your firewall once, and never have to worry about it again.

Solo public lobby all the time.

Yeah I wanted to look into this but haven't got around to it yet. Doesn't this kill all multiplayer though? I'd still like to do missions and heists with people from time to time.
