Growing Your Wealth in Mafia Wars

First and foremost, you will obviously want to do some jobs to get some money. But pretty soon you won't need to do any jobs to make money, only to level up. This is because your investments will make money without having you having to do anything.

At the very start, when you are doing jobs, choose the ones that offer you the highest payoff with the least amount of energy used - good pay/energy ratio. Alternatively, you can choose jobs that have a high experience gained/energy used ratio. The more benefit to you with the least energy lost is the right direction you should take.

As soon as you are paid, it is a wise decision to bank your money. Yes there is a 10% money-laundering fee that the bank will charge you, but this is much better than losing everything in a fight.

When the time is right, remember to buy properties with a good return on investment ratio.
