Land as equity

Assuming that a JV is looking to build an phase 1 infrastructure for $50M. It is formed with 2 partners, (A) 1 has cash 70M and (B) the other has land appraised at 30M. Assuming (A) will take 70% shareholding in the JV and (B) 30%. 

Sequence can be using the 70M from (A) contributed as equity in the JV, the JV buys the land at 30M and partner B injects in the 30M cash as equity. In this case, the capex will be 50M (phase 1 infrastructure) + 30M (land purchase by JV).

Or

(A) puts in 70M as equity and (B) contributes the 30M land in exchange for equity, in this case, capex for JV remains at 50M (phase 1 infrastructure).

Presumably, depending on the scenario above, it will have implications on the capex and eventually project irr

Qns: am I missing out anything in the above two scenarios? It seems like the second scenario with the lower capex seems better at the proj level
