If it’s healthy, the project has resilience and profitability baked in from the start.Example: Putting Numbers to the ConceptConsider a hypothetical project:Total Project Cost: $10 millionProjected NOI: $800,000Market Cap Rate: 5.5%Yield on Cost: $800,000 ÷ $10,000,000 = 8%Spread: 8% (YoC) - 5.5% (cap rate) = 2.5% (250 basis points)This spread of 250 basis points signals a strong deal, offering a margin for risk and reward.

Sometimes the long game gives better returns than short-term cash flow, especially when you’re planting the seeds now to own more later.

Will plant about 60 acres this year.  

Fake plants are great too and add freshness, nobody cares that they are fake. 

Major companies like Intel (building a $26B chip plant), Amazon, Facebook, Google, Honda, Anduril, Microsoft, and LG are expanding here, which is driving a lot of long-term demand and appreciation.

I am new to the game too but I am have been finding some things that are at least planting some seeds and building relationships with people.Ive been going on Zillow in the area that I am focused on and looking at rentals available.

Will have artificial turf, plants, etc up there.

I am not sure about the power plant you are referencing but the amazon data center isn't supposed to be completed for 15 YEARS...

Your resilience and experience will be a huge asset on your comeback.

As for hanging plants, that sounds like the realtor is looking for problems.
