As for the apartment and garage; you need to be above Rank 5 before you could purchase your own properties. Now; there are multiple ways using which you can buy a property but we would advise you to use internet Real Estate to buy them.

Note: Many people have confirmed that buying property from the property sign outside the buildings will NOT unlock the Achievement/Trophy; so we would advise you to stick to internet.
