Again, thanks for taking some of your precious time to help me on this and I truly appreciate your help and advice.

But if you can find a way, set aside some of your precious time for learning painfully slow lessons, and screwing up, and don't believe anyone who tells you they have a sure-fire way for you to bypass the learning curve of this business, or that your time is too valuable to waste on failure.

My view is the land is precious and using it for HQ or factories is not making best use of the limited properties that is needed for the tech talent.
