Armored Vehicles Mean Easy Money
In the beginning hours of the game, one of the easiest ways to make money is to rob an armored vehicle. They appear as blips on the minimap while you are driving around. Take out the drivers, then shoot the back doors in the center by the handles to have it open. Collect the money, which is often worth over $5000, then escape the cops.

In the ocean near the north side of the map, you can check underwater to find a crashed airplane. When the airplane crashed, a briefcase full of money (around $12,000) also found its way to the sea bed. You can swim to find the wreckage and the briefcase. After you collect that briefcase, you can then immediately switch to another character and then switch back to the one who was located near the briefcase. When you do, the briefcase will have reappeared. The character who is underwater will collect the case again and his supply of air will return. You can repeatedly use this trick to quickly amass a small fortune.
Note: This is only available if you are returning to the game on the PlayStation4 from the PlayStation3 version. Complete the main storyline. Find the four murder mystery clues written on various walls in Los Santos while playing as Michael. A sound will play after each clue is viewed. Take the submarine and swim out into the ocean with the scuba gear to find a drowned woman chained to concrete on the seabed. Go to Richard's Majestic film studio after nine p.m. and step into the yellow mission circle. Once in the office look at the letter on the desk. It will lead you to the mineshaft.
