It took me way too long to realize how fucked up it is that you build houses on your properties and as soon as you collected enough rent money evict all those families, tear down the houses and build a hotel instead.
The best way to win the game is actually to aggressively build houses and never upgrade to hotels. I’m pretty sure that the rules as written don’t allow anyone to buy houses if there’s not any house pieces left so if you can get a bunch of the cheaper properties and max out houses you can stop any of the rest of the players from being able to jack up the rent on their properties.

this strategy assumes people follow the raw, which usually isn’t the case
Every strategy based on the rules assumes people follow the rules.
