I recently started Assassin's Creed Brotherhood – and I see I now have the ability to make "investments" in shops, which seems to involve and upfront outlay of cash, and sort of a "dividend" system of randomly getting a return on that investment. Its been a while, but I don't recall this system from AC II.
It seems like there are a million shops, and they all seem to also have a "risk" rating, which I assume is somehow related. I'm a little overwhelmed by all of the choices, and it seems I can only be "invested" in one shop at a time (unless I misunderstood something). So which shop (or kind of shop) is the best bet for investment?

The economics of Brotherhood are much simpler than they seem and within hours you'll be submerged in cash.
You want to make sure you invest in banks early on. They will carry your money earned every 20 minutes, but when the banks are full, they don't keep piling it anymore. You don't want that nagging you all the time.
Because landmarks are sometimes larger investments, keep them for later, you'll be able to buy more buildings (blacksmiths and doctors first, tailors and art merchants last) and enjoy the rebates right away.
Don't neglect secret passages. Those will come in handy and they're cheap.
