Tips

You do not need to have six separate controllers and/or people to 100% this game, as the game has a "pass the controller" feature you can play with. When you set up the game, it will ask if you want to pass a single controller or if you want to use individual trophies.
Do not purchase a property for full price, ever! Instead, put the property up for auction, bid once with your main character for M1 (), then withdraw () with the other five players, netting you the property for M11.

Step 1: (broken down into parts, so it's easier to follow)

Part 1: Start a local game with six players, using the Free Parking house rule. This ensures the game will last long enough to obtain trophies, and keep cash flow going among the players. During the dice roll competition, to see in what order the players will go, ensure that your player has the highest roll. Note: It will not count if you and another player roll the same amount and tie. Doing this will net you the Pole Position trophy.
Part 2: Roll the dice with Player 1 and purchase any property you land on via the auction tip provided above. This will net you the Good Start and Bargain Master trophies. Now, with Players 2-5, auction any property they land on and win the auction with Player 1. Doing this will allow you to accumulate properties very quickly, and will hopefully allow one of the proceeding players to land on a property you've purchased, on their first roll. If they do land on one of your properties with their first roll, this will net you the Precocious trophy.
Part 3: Now, play the game and continue to collect all of the properties with Play 1. collecting one property of each color will net you the Collector trophy. Once you own every property on the board, trade two of your properties (from different color sets) to another player, in exchange for M1, and then repeat the trade, taking back your two properties and completing two color sets at once, via one trade. Doing so will net you the Business Master trophy.
Part 4: Now that you have control of every property on the board, or at least have every property of two different color sets, it's time to place some houses and hotels. The cheapest colors to work with are brown and light blue (the front stretch of colors after passing go). Placing your first house will net you the Investor trophy. Once you have four houses on every property for a given color, you will be able to place a hotel. Placing your first hotel will net you the VIP trophy. You will want to build a hotel on each property of two different colors. The cheapest to do will be brown and light blue. Once you have those 5 hotels placed, you will get the Now We Can Play trophy. Keep placing houses on the rest of your properties, until the bank runs out of houses. Once the bank runs out of houses, you will get the Out of Stock trophy. I did this by placing one house on every property around the board, then starting over and placing the second house on each property. This ensured I didn't bankrupt the other players while trying to place enough houses. Once you start getting three to four houses on the second half of the board (red through dark blue), your rent should be M700 or more. Once someone lands on a property and pays more than M700 in rent, you'll get the Great Income trophy.
Part 5: With all of those trophies out of the way, start going to every player, EXCEPT your own player, and declaring bankruptcy. Once every other player has declared bankruptcy and you've won the game, you will get the following trophies: The Master, Your Way and Champion.

During this step, you should have earned the following trophies:

Good Start
Investor
VIP
Pole Position
Bargain Master
Precocious
Business Master
Out of Stock
Collector
Great Income
Now We Can Play
Your Way
Champion
The Master

Pole Position

Be the first player to start
To earn this trophy, you need to win the opening dice roll event. It will not count if you and another player roll the same number, and tie for first. I ensured I rolled a 10, 11 or 12, before proceeding to try for this trophy. Anything lower than that and I simply restarted and tried again.
Bargain Master

Get a property for at least 10% less than its original price (Auction)
To earn this trophy, you need to purchase a property for at least 10% less than it's original price.

Precocious

To earn this trophy, you need to land on a property and purchase it on your first roll and then have another player land on your property with their first roll, and pay you rent. With every players, auction any property they land on and win the auction with Player 1. Doing this will allow you to accumulate properties very quickly, and will hopefully allow one of the proceeding players to land on a property you've purchased, on their first roll. If they do land on one of your properties with their first roll.
