Then base rent on that as rent is usually about equal to a mortgage payment in the real world.Here is an example.Let's say, just for example's sake, that yearly rent is in fact 10% of the retail price of the property.This would mean that if you have a store front that cost $12,000 to buy then yearly rent would be $1200 making monthly rent 1200/12 = 100 a month.Another method would be to base it off of the upkeep costs and standard profit off of weapons, which is detailed in the core books in a round about way. I'm pretty sure that the raw materials to make something cost 50% of it's retail price. So there is 100% profit. This means that upkeep * 2 = rent. If I remember the percentages correctly.For an added level of complexity mascarading as realism you can use a section of town modifier. 0.75 for bad sections, 1.0 for average sections and 1.25 for good sections. Multiply the rent by that amount to arrive at the final cost.</blockquote>
