There must be a default safe house at least. But renting houses, that sounds a little unlike GTA. Buying houses has been in every GTA games I've played before, why would they take it away now?
well, most of the stuff in gta4 sounds unlike gta lol
and i have read that you cant buy new properties and profit from them, but i was wondering if this meant you cant buy new safe houses either
You can't buy properties, like...on the top of my head...like sunshine autos. But no one does actually know if there is a possibility to buy new safe houses.
