Tips & Warnings
Mortgage your property to the bank for half the cost you paid for it. Sell the buildings back to the bank for half of what you paid before putting it up for mortgage.
You can't collect rent when a building is mortgaged. To get a property out of mortgage pay the mortgage value plus 10 percent.
Trade with other players at any point in the game. You may try trading for "Get out of Jail Free" cards or other properties. Properties that have buildings on them can't be traded unless that player sells them back to the bank.
