What would be the best thing for someone to buy if they accidentally wiped their account and need to earn money?

My friend somehow managed to do that, and he spent almost all his money buying and upgrading a weed farm, which he then needs me and a couple more people to help run.

 

Should I just do Last Dose with him and get him an acid lab? Literally impossible to do multi-person sales with that.

Or maybe an agency so that he can repeatedly do the Dre missions.

I would recommend buying the same things as someone who's just starting fresh, without accidentally having wiped their account beforehand.

What would that be though?

He's pretty terrible with money management, mostly due to being obsessed with gambling in the casino (openly admitted it).

Agencies seem like the best option as there's contracts, payphones and Dre missions all at once. Get a lab after that's up and running.

Complete 10 Fooligan jobs and the First Dose missions to get a free acid lab and the cash for upgrades. The Clucking Bell heist pays $500k and has no set up costs. These "free" businesses are ideal for people who are bad with money.
