When you build a Deed-type Plan the corresponding Location is flipped to its open side and you become the Owner so it can be used like any other Location; during Upkeep Owners collect any mint coins on Deed Locations (pages 18 and 8).

Count the total stars from Buildings in each player’s Neighborhood — the most stars wins; ties are broken by smallest Neighborhood (fewest Buildings/Plans), then most circles, then age closest to 42 (page 9).
