GTA VI has properties in its story and Ultimate Edition Upgrade, and a developer says you can buy garages, but Rockstar has not announced buying homes or businesses. Prices, income, staff and laundering that appear on other sites are unsourced.

Story property is not a purchase menu
A character owning real estate shows it exists in the fiction. A named garage or compound shows a location is part of the advertised content. Neither says whether you can buy it, what it earns, or whether prices change. Until Rockstar describes the rules, treat ownership systems as unknown.
