How to start a Heist as a leader in GTA Online: Complete list of properties required for each Heist

GTA Online wouldn't be the sprawling empire it is today if it weren't for all the super lucrative cooperative heists the game features.

Heists are essentially a series of overarching missions featured in GTA Online that encourage players to work together as a team and execute a grand robbery. Players can either play a heist by joining another leader's crew or meet the requirements necessary to start a heist as a leader.

This article explains how players can have complete control over a GTA Online Heist by earning the status of a leader and building a crew of talented robbers.

How to start a Heist as a leader in GTA Online

There are several reasons to start a Heist as a leader in GTA Online. The leader gets to decide who plays which role and choose what setups they want. In the finale, the leader gets to decide the amount each player receives. The most important reason to start a heist as a leader, however, is because the host gets the biggest cut of all, which is around 40%.

To start a Heist as a leader, the player will need to have unlocked level 12 in the game, and invest in all the equipment required for the Heist, including a high-end apartment, which costs a sizeable fortune.

The cheapest high-end apartment in GTA Online costs $200,000.

After these requirements are met, the player will receive a call from Lester who will invite them to their garment factory. When the player accepts the heist, they will automatically become the leader and will be able to invite fellow players via the lobby or friends list.

The leader of the heist will also need to invest a good chunk of money in hiring NPCs. The only exception to this general rule of thumb is the Fleeca Job, which Lester will so generously cover the expenses for.
