That line is been stated and promoted literally thousands upon millions of times.     

There are plenty of no-load funds out there (Vanguard, Schwab, Fidelity, etc) so there's literally no reason to be using your employer's plan. 

Banks won’t loan money to purchase land (usually); so any buyers will either have to be flush with cash up front (which severely limits your buyers pool) OR the seller has to make it easy for an interested party to purchase the land.Seller-financing works great with land, as do land contracts.
