# Marketplace
Buildings are the backbone of your empire in CityVerse Tycoon. Acquiring and trading buildings strategically can significantly impact your success. Here’s a detailed guide on how to buy and sell buildings using different payment methods.
Nobody starts at the top. Just as every great journey begins with a single step, every self-made real estate tycoon begins the journey to their first building purchase (and the many that follow) with their own humble first steps. In CityVerse Tycoon, your journey begins as a Renter in a Landlord’s building. You and nine other renters need to upgrade that building, and pay rent in the form of a percentage of your earnings. Congrats on taking your first steps in the CityVerse!
**Leveling up to Owner status = Double Bonus time!**
Now that you have a taste for ownership and its many benefits, it’s time to start thinking about taking another giant leap forward. As an Owner, you’re just a few steps from becoming a **Landlord**, with buildings full of rent-paying tenants!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.cityversetycoon.com/cityverse-mode/marketplace.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
