What level do you have to be to get missions for Simeon

Most of the early game missions are triggered by phone calls from Simeon, Lamar, and one of Lamar's friends. These should start up at about level 4. As you level more options in free mode will appear.

I personally had problems with these events triggering automatically on day 1. Day 2 seemed to be better in that regard. Though be weary, there still seems to be issues with the servers not remembering everything you've accomplished.

Long paste, thanks to GTAForums iirc - as of 1.04

If you want to grind, have someone host the job 'Coveted' under missions - 950 RP, $12k payout and is fairly fast once you have it down. As it isn't given by any character, you can Replay it from the post mission menu.

Mission Name / Cash / Rank req. / RP gained - all values on hardmode, solo.
