Should I buy Vehicle Cargo or go with Cayo Perico Heist? ($2.3M) (Solo player)

[it's social suicide]

I have heard that Cayo Perico can be done on solo, and it gives 1.5M per 1.5 hours.
I have 2.3M at the moment, have a high-end apartment (Eclipse 3) and Lvl 43.
I've only done the first heist - fleeca job.

What do you think?

Definitely the sub for Cayo Perico.

Are there any prerequisites before I do the heist like a hangar or a boat, cuz I don't have it.

Nah, you should be able to buy the sub immediately after seeing the cutscene intro in the Music Locker at the Diamond Casino (if you haven't triggered that yet, use the north side entrance of the casino building). I won't lie though, at rank 43, some of the setups may prove difficult, so try to rope a friend or two in if you can, while getting the hang of it. It's still very much doable though and you should earn that initial investment back fairly quickly.

yeah, can be done solo, also can be done in invite only session from start to finish including set-up missions which is a blessing

This Cayo Perico guide may also prove helpful...

No.
The Kosatka is the prerequisite.
It's the hub where you start all the prep missions and the heist itself.

The next purchase should be the new Sparrow helicopter that can be stored in the submarine and spawned next to anywhere on the map (without the need of being an active CEO/MC). It'll make the prep missions much faster, as you can exit and enter the submarine with it.

The Kosatka is also a spawn point with a warderobe and a bed.
And it's an actual vehicle that you can cruise around with and dive (unlike the static money waster that is the super yacht).
And it can fire cruise missiles (upgrade) and torpedos.

Can I use the Frogger instead? it's the helicopter that comes with the criminal enterprise starter pack.

Frogger is kind of useless. If you have armored car like karuma better use that until you get oppressor mk2 or sparrow.

You can't enter the submarine with it.
But you can carefully land it on top, then walk inside.

Sometimes the submarine is a little buggy and the helicopter can slide off and drown though.

The Kosatka comes with a free Dinghy which you can spawn next to you anywhere in the water.

also there is only an 11 minute cool-down after you finish the heist

as you get better at it the whole set-up/heist can be done in an hour with more than a million each time, also has only $25k start-up fee

[Paprika]

for money, cayo perico. do it once per day, quite good money. it gets boring if you grind like a robot. just give 1 hour per day and it wont be boring.

[Lee Joseph]

cayo heist ruined the grind for me. Takes 1.5 hours for 1.5m depending on the source you get. It makes all the businesses pointless

As long as you prefer grinding to playing.
