I see you didn't buy any media firms, and a lot of them are on sale. Usually they can provide huge profit (if you have the money to purchasing them ofc).

Thanks for all your help but have a few questions, like how do you use .rar file. As for media should I price them at CPM right below competition. Also how high should I put content development.

Are there any good guides out there for real estate development?

.rar is a compressed file type (forum attachment needs to be compressed), use software like Winrar, WinMount or 7-zip to extract save file inside, if you don't have them I compressed it with zip file as attached.

media firm profit comes from 2 sources, local ads income shown as grey part of the pie chart, and obviously the other from AIs. If a media firms income mostly come from local, CPM affects little, usually you can set it quite high, since its mostly affect by quality and rating percentage. If there are enough AI retail stores, then you need to concern more about competing media firm. If you chase other media firms CPM, you'll face similar "price war" problem like normal product. Usually just keep blank pie chart portion as small as possible with try and error to reach a equilibrium point, since AI don't just concern CPM, but rating point as well.

As for content budget, just follow the trend of current quality. There's a threshold to keep current quality from going down. The higher the quality the more budget to keep it even or going up again. Most of the time keep quality at 50 is enough.
