What You Should Know about Cell Phone Towers?

As a commercial real estate owner, you want to get the most out of your investment.

There are many ways to get additional income streams for your property, and cell phone

towers are an increasingly popular and lucrative option. Cell phone companies want to

expand their coverage areas, and they are willing to pay top dollar to rent space on your

property to install new towers. Before you sign a lease, there are a few things you should

know.

Monthly Revenue

When you lease your property for a cell tower, you will have a stream of monthly

revenue coming in. For some property owners, this revenue stream is helpful, but a lump

sum can be more beneficial. Selling tower lease agreements can give you access to a

lump sum for your cell tower contract, which gives you access to the entire value of your

lease in one hefty payment. Wireless Capital can help you get the most money from your

lease agreement in just a few simple steps.

Zoning Restrictions

Depending on where your property is located, there may be some local zoning restrictions

that bar you from getting a cell tower lease. You should check with your local

municipality to see if there are any restrictions. In some cases, you may be able to get a

special consideration or bring your request before the city for consideration. Other areas

have no restrictions, so you won't have any issues when looking to become a cell tower

landlord.

Cell Tower Lease Rates

When you look to lease your property for a cell tower, you will want to know about the

cell tower lease rates. These rates depend on a number of variables. Larger cell service

providers pay more than small providers, and the companies pay different rates

depending on the demand for their services. While some leases have been reported at

around $100 per year—an extremely low figure—the usual rates are in the thousands.

Some companies will pay anywhere from $3,000 to $60,000 to lease space on your

property. Be sure you understand the rates being offered and the term of the lease before

reaching an agreement.

Reasons to Sell Your Lease

While there are many reasons to sell your cell tower lease, the most popular reason is

access to capital. Instead of waiting for money to come in every month, you can see your

full payment for the lease so you can spend or invest in a way that makes sense for you.

The other important reason is risk management. You may be concerned about service

provider mergers or buyouts that could render your cell tower redundant. When you sell

your lease, you won't have to worry about the business aspect of cell phone towers, and

you will still walk away with the money you deserve for renting your space.

If you think that becoming a cell tower landlord sounds right for you, consider looking

for cell companies that are willing to rent your space. Once you have agreed upon a lease,

don't just sit around waiting for your payment every month. Consider selling your cell

tower lease to get the most out of this unique business arrangement. For more
