🏘️ Fargo-Moorhead Property Tycoon
A Vision Realty strategy game · 10 years · ND vs MN tax tradeoffs · Real neighborhoods
Build a Fargo-Moorhead Real Estate Portfolio
You have $750,000 in starting capital and 10 years to maximize your net worth. Buy, hold, and sell properties across real Fargo-Moorhead neighborhoods — but watch out for special assessments, lock-in effects, and shifting school district demand.
New Construction Exemption
ND homes get up to a 2-year property tax exemption — boosts early cash flow.
Special Assessments
ND lots often carry infrastructure debt. Read the certificate before you buy.
MN Homestead Exclusion
Reduces taxable value — but phases out as home value climbs.
Market Events
Rate cuts, lock-in effects, flood disclosures — react or get left behind.
Build a Real Estate Empire
A hands-on 3D browser game that teaches the math behind real estate investing — cash flow, yield on cost, leverage, and market timing. Start with $20,000, buy lots, build and renovate, ride the market cycle, and grow your net worth to $500k to become a Portfolio Tycoon.
Buy Land
Tap any lot in Old Town to see its price and buy in. Two richer districts — Riverside and Downtown — unlock as your net worth grows. Watch the Market index: buy under 100, sell above it.
Build & Renovate
Build anything from a starter home to a mixed-use tower — bigger buildings yield more per dollar. Renovate for a permanent +40% rent bump, and borrow from the bank to scale faster. Just remember: interest never sleeps.
Collect & Compound
Rent arrives every 10 seconds. Hot buyers, hailstorms, rate cuts, and off-market deals land as event cards — read the numbers and choose well. Reinvest to compound your way to $500k net worth.
