Route map (Tijuana → checkpoint → seller → laundromat)
Start in Tijuana at the Black Market Goods Shop. Buy 5 Avocado crates ($750). Drive north to the San Ysidro checkpoint, cross with ~10% detection. Sell at the Smuggled Goods Seller in Downtown San Diego ($1,500). Walk to the Laundromat and wash the cash (~10% fee, ~$1,350 clean).
Why Avocado crates first
Avocado crates have the lowest detection rate (10%) and the cheapest buy price ($150). They are the safest first-hour cargo. Stack 5 per run for ~$600 clean profit. Detection-adjusted yield: ~$65 per crate.
When to switch cargo
Once you have banked ~$50,000 clean, upgrade to mid-tier bundles from Otay Mesa. Detection rises to ~30% but per-crate yield triples. The Smuggling Route Optimizer models this trade-off against your wanted level.
Vehicle by route stage
Tayora Cambria is the free starter (128 mph, 8.6s 0-60). Buy the $35k Auvio R3S (155 mph, 3.9s 0-60) once you can afford it — it is the cheapest sub-4-second vehicle. Save the Voltera Roadster X (999 Robux) for daily loops only.
Daily reward timing
New Civilians receive ~$7,500 + $100 welfare = $7,600/day. Bank it before spending. The Code Yield Optimizer models weekly cash inflow from ElDiabloIsntGettingBuffed ($10,000 Cash), the daily $7,500 reward, and the Starter Pack lump sum.
Wanted level and Police confiscation
Un-laundered cash may be confiscated during a Police pursuit. The Confiscation Risk Planner models per-tick hazard — at wanted level 3+ in HIGH police density, survival probability drops below 90% in 5 minutes. Launder immediately.
Long-loop pivot
Once the basic loop is boring, pivot to the Autoshop multi-level garage (sell to the black-clad NPC) or the white-house tunnel route. The Smuggling Route Optimizer compares all three against your wanted level and vehicle speed.
