$18,000.00... cost to take down and move...

You just need to spend a small fortune on proper anchor points at a proper land site, replace all the nuts and bolts, hire a large crew who can do it and erect a gin pole, and go through FAA approval. It's possible to self fund through cell phone rental space on your tower. however, you'll need to get FCC approval, which can done without an extensive hassle.

When I looked into this with a tower engineer, we could get an existing tower site with anchors, the total cost for a 1000' tower was in the neighborhood of $100-$125K.

And I suppose you'd want to set up a trust or llc to own the thing -- I'm thinking it's one thing to own a tower, fence it and post it "no trespassing," and quite another to own a tower and knowingly allow people to recreationally climb and jump the thing (perhaps inciting neighborhood minors to a little climbing misadventure?)...
