TIP
Always wear night-vision goggles. You can't really see without them, and will get lost. With night-vision, burgling a housing is made easy.

Your Joking or is something wrong with your Monitor. the ambiant light is just the same as any other in the game. Those goggles are just a gag in the game play. You should turn up the Brightness or adjust the Contrast if you have a problem seeing.

Update: Do the mission early in game.

Get the Van. Park on the corner of the street where Big Smoke lives.
The Corner house has three items to steal.
Park close to it.
Use 'sneak' mode to move quickly to the items.
The Radio is right by the door, get it first.
Move to the TV set and get it second.
Go for the VCR next.
Watch the 'noise meter' don't trip the arlarm if you can.
After getting these three item (or tripping the alarm) go to the next house.
Get One item the TV.
Return to the Corner house and get its three item, and go back for the one in the other house.
Keep rotating between the houses
You should be able to get the 10,000$ in one night of this mission, without hassles.
As the cost of items is the same there is no need to travel to 'rich' neighbour hoods.

If you like taking the time to explore do any any house you can.

omg the infinite sprint achievement actually does work. I just finished and got 11200 dollars. I tested it and ran from the LS locker all the way to the south-eastern safehouse in Las Venturas.

[lil weasel]

Yes it does. It almost makes the Collection of the Gang Tags, Snap-Shots, and Horseshoes fun.

I tried the other method of Snatch and grab doing the Burglaries and found it is working on the PC (It didn't work well on the PS2, for me anyway.)
I parked by the corneer house. Endered moved quickly in Crouch mode to the TV. I Grabbed it and ran to the door setting off the alarm. After putting it in the truck I went back to the same house and found the alarm had reset. Moved to the VCR grabbed it and ran to the door. Repeated with the BOOM-Box, then went to get the TV from next dor and then back to the corner house.
Grabbing and Running without care of sneaking. It worked. I cleared 30,000$ in one night.

I always rob houses in ganton and the houses near the house CJ buys the one near the vinewood sign, i always do the burglary mission in Los Santos, it's a better city in which to rob houses than in San Fierro or Las Venturas.

[austinsuh]

This is what i do; i get a weapon that kills in one shot (desert eagle, shotgun, etc.), enter the house, sneak into the owner(s)' room, and kill them. This gives a countdown. I quickly get something near the exit of the house (usually) a TV), and quickly exit the house. I put the good i have snatched into the truck, then go back and be free of alarms. I did try the method of using the silence pistol, but sometimes i miss and that is a real bummer. I prefer my way also because its more violent

[lil weasel]

Violent, yes. But inefficent, as you waste the time to grab 1 or 2 items going for the occupents.
As the value is based on items taken you have reduced the take.

It's back?

I know it has been over a year since this topic died, but I have gotten it unlocked and updated the tutorial with some information posted by other forumers as well as new maps showing where the vans and lock-ups are.

Thanks to everyone who has posted in this topic. I am glad so many of you found my tutorial helpful.

Over the next few days I am going to be reading through the suggestions posted by other forumers in this topic, and trying them out to see wither to add them to the tutorial or not.
If you have any suggestions or think I've missed something in the tutorial, please let me know.

This topic seems to be made immortal, they have sort of pinned it, placed it in the line of topics always visible.

I think the easiest place to make over 40 robberies in one night is in East Los Flores, see map:



There are a large number of homes grouped together and you'll always find some open doors. Aim for the south-eastern houses in the red circle first, you never find gang members in them. Other homes inside the circle may have gang members, but not too often.

[lil weasel]

You only need two houses next door to each other.
The best are next to Big Smokes house.
The one on the West corner has three items, and one in the middle has two.
You park the truck with its back door near the corner house.
Then on the PC you can rush in grab the TV and run out.
Go back and grab the VCR and run out.
Go back and grab the Boom-Box and run out.
Run to the other house and grab the TV.
Go back to the corner house and repeat.
Ignore any occupants.
It doesn't take long to gather enough to earn 35,000$ in one night.
I found on the PS2 if the cops are called you have to go to the other house, but on the PC it resets on each trip back to the same house until you have stripped it.

Yes you only need two houses/apartments, but you depend on finding two near each other that are open. I find it easier where a large number of apartments are grouped on a small area. There are always two beside each other that are open.

I prefer a house with 3 items in the sitting room, I don't bother with the bedrooms because the distance is so long that the cops will come. I run all the time.

I take those three items, then I steal one item from the next home. Then I return to the first home and steal those three items again.

The reason why I tend to only steal one item from the second home, is that I usually can't park the van close enough to both doors. I don't want to take even one single step to drop the item, I want to drop the item from the doorstep.

Maybe the homes next to Big Smoke have the doors very near, I might try that next time. If I'm lucky and both are open through the night...

On my last raid (same place as on the map I posted) I got 51 items and earned 52010 dollars.
I read someone have gotten 56 items in one night so I just need to practice a bit more.
