The short answer
In ROB RUN, buying a house means buying into a plot-and-base system. There is no standalone real-estate menu that gives you a safe private house.
Find a plot
A base can only be set up in a settlement that has an owner. Find a vacant plot and pay the rent at the sign next to it. Higher-level districts require special documents from the Black Market.
First-home route
- Save for a land plot title and the plot rent.
- Buy the land plot title from Lenny’s Black Market or the Construction tab.
- Open the map and choose a level-1 settlement.
- Find a vacant plot and pay the rent at the sign.
- Place the trailer and basic structures.
- Add a Laundering Desk, storage, a key locker, and a first-aid cabinet.
- Close the doors when you leave.
Launch-week prices have been reported around 25,000 for the land plot title and 75,000 for the purchase, with another route targeting roughly 75,000 total. Check the current UI before you save, because Early Access prices can change.
What to build first
The first useful base is not the most decorated one. Prioritize:
- A Laundering Desk so you can move cash into the bank.
- Storage for loot and supplies.
- A key locker for a personal vehicle.
- A first-aid cabinet for healing and respawn.
- A security system once you have something worth protecting.
If the plot supports a house or garage, the key locker lets you buy and store a personal vehicle. That is useful for cargo work, but it also gives raiders another reason to visit.
Your base is not a safe zone
Other players can raid the base, and the seven-day wipe removes plots and bases. A first-aid cabinet gives you a respawn point, but it does not make the building invulnerable.
Before buying, check the server timer. A base is a per-cycle project, so avoid spending everything on a plot that will reset soon.
Protect the investment
Read the base-protection guide after you place the first structures. A gate system, a house system, fuses, and clan alerts are more useful than adding decorative rooms before the base can survive a raid.
