@Bram Klein The tear down, hauling, and site prep will vary substantially by area but prepare for $10k per site as an extremely rough guideline.  

She left and old one in its place so it had to be hauled off. 

My new favorite toy!

Obviously, you had to be a risk-taker, crystal-ball gazer, in it for the long haul, diversify your holdings, kind of investor.

RE investing is a long haul game.

Of course my method for building that wealth is through real estate.What this means is that I don't have the newest latest and greatest toys that everyone else seems to have (smartphones, tablets, fancy headphones, etc.)

I have been toying with an idea to have 4-6 1,200-2,000 sq foot shops, with a shared conference room and office area.

Living near a port city and seeing all the trucks moving containers from the ships to the distribution centers says those fun toy drones will NEVER replace high capacity trucking.If we come to the point that only managers(Chiefs) can afford homes, condos and rentals, then where will all the little Indians go and what will the Chiefs actually manage?

You pay taxes on 401k withdrawals whether you are 40 or 60, so the 10% penalty you get is what you have to factor in with your decision.It's impossible to say whether stocks/bonds in your 401k or real estate that you acquire will do better over the long haul.
