RE: Putting the puzzle pieces together for long term online success.

In general, go for the random cards through the buy option in the game. Almost all cards are more expensive than 4 hive or 800 sim.

That means that in about 55% of the times you get a card that is worth more than that and quite often 3-4x that.

But if you like to start cheap, than a combination of a park and a wind turbine is an ok start. Those cards are cheaper than 4 hive per card on the market.
