Wait until you can als get credits from other players…
Best way to win/get hated a Monopoly: BE a monopoly. Get streets of the same color. Build houses. Build more houses. DO NOT, NEVER EVER upgrade to hotels, focus on building as many houses as you can.
Many people forget: No one can force you to upgrade to hotels and return your houses to the pool. If no more houses are available in the box, no houses can be built. To build a hotel, you must build 4 houses before - but those houses need to be build. Don’t just pay everything in one go, skip the (unavailable) houses and build a hotel. No - if you cannot get 4 houses down, you cannot get a hotel.
If people don’t realize what you’re doing, they’ll be in great trouble soon…
Also helpful to collect colors and oftentimes overlooked: If someone hits a street that is available, they must buy it. If they don’t, it will instantly trigger an auction where every player can bid. This works both ways - forcing players with little money to lose this opportunity, as well as getting things cheaper if you trigger it yourself and no one wants to/can bid against you

You’re not wrong as far as the rules, but who hurt you?
Probably everyone who’s made them sit through interminable games using house rules. Never again, if we’re playing we’re playing by the book.
Those are the book rules and they make the game insuffferable if used right.
It was a well known copypasta that was posted a looooot on 4chan and reddit. He’s pulling from it to put it into lemmy terms.
Ah so.
