Taking Over Cargo Hubs Easily
First you have to get a good car then charge through the road blocks then kill everyone you can there will be about two men on the balconies above you. Then, once everyone is dead, a slide door will open with a truck poking out go in here and there should be at least three men inside with tommy guns. Kill them as fast as you can then run up the stairs to outside where you will be greeted by another man with either a tommy gun or shotgun then go down the steps to the front door. Go in and shoot all the men that attack you then run upstairs and turn left to a room with two men in it. Kill them both then go straight forward from the room to the room where the boss is. Aim your gun at him and he will pay more then grab him and he will pay even more (in this room there is usually a guard) then pay him off and you get a lot of respect and money.

Easily Robbing Small Banks
Ok if its a small bank heres wot you do (it's best if you bribe the sargeant at the police station) when you first walk in go straight to the main room where the vault is. There should be three guards, two by the vault. Go up to the first guard on his own casually then walk past just so he knows you're there, then walk past everyone to the guard on the left hand side. He has a shotgun - quickly shoot him then the other guard next to him then turn around to shoot the other guard running at you then get out your dynamite and blow the vault -press R at the vault- then get the money and go to the front of the building and hijack a near by car then race straight to your safehouse that should be quite close.

Taking Verona Warehouse
To take down this warehouse, first when you get close, walk to the part where the entrance is not visible, crouch before reaching the fence to avoid detection. You should see two or three gang people (Tattaligias), anyway start picking them off (go for headshots to save ammo, there are a lot of guys). After you get rid of some, wall cover to the right of where you are, you should see a roadblock, I would recommend the magnum or pistol to pick them off. You are not done yet, be careful, still use the wall to check for remainder of people still guarding the entrance, the biggest challenge is always the front yard. Still crouching walk a little closer and if you are being shot at, look up, some guys might be on the walkway, adjust your reticle until you can hit him, usually there is two. After that, still crouching, go upstairs and peek around the corners for stationary guards, pick them off with a pistol and buy out the guy in the other room. Congrats, you have just seized control of Little Italy. Corleones will not move in to the building until everyone is dead inside. When near windows, always crouch and check to see if there are any, if so, go around to the other side and shoot through the glass to kill them. This was tough but well worth it, every week you can get about 12,000 dollars from this guy.

Tattaglia Compound
When you think you are ready for the challenge, take on a compound. The Tattaglias in northeast Brooklyn might be the weakest family in New York, but that does not mean they are going to let you walk right in. Bring some bombs along and blow up the support pillars in the basements. You may start a mob war, but if you are successful you will have a new safe house with a group of guards.

Extorting Businesses
When you are having trouble extorting business owners, try destroying some of their property and/or hold a gun to their face. For example, when you are trying to take over Good Eats in Brooklyn. you can hold the gun to the man's face then reholster the gun and try extortion again. He will refuse. Simply draw your gun again, lock on, and hold it. Keep doing this until he caves in. Do not forget to reholster your gun to avoid accidentally shooting him. In another example, when you are trying to extort money from the hotel owner in Brooklyn, hold a gun to him twice, break the downstairs cupboard, then finally blow his safe before you beat him into submission. Always buy available rackets first. Take a trip around to either buy another racket or go around the block. Do not attack until you visit again, and instead of enemy soldiers you will find all your soldiers. By doing this you do not have to fight a bunch of enemies and get your vendetta up.
