User blog comment:Songuyenca/Tip to make money at lower level?/@comment-5042346-20120604184156

There are several ways of handling this and I do not pretend to know the best. I'll just tell how I went around this issue.

I got myself the Post Office as soon as possible and acquired sufficient to buy the Park Bench (Level 6) and Dino Painter (Level 10) as well as the Coffee Shop (Giving some good returns). Later on I also bought the Berry Patch. All without investment.

If you read the blog of Oioiaussie, she advices in her [Blog Buy playground? A common misconception! against Playgrounds and in favour of Venus Fly Traps. This will cause you to have less money now but the returns are higher for the following [[Level]]s. I personally have started with playground however and now have 11 Venus Fly Traps as well.

Summarising, get yourselves high profit Decorations. Accept an initial investment to get continued returns.
