Back in the 90’s I knew a guy who had a 5 acre tract that sloped up to a level ridge top. A cell phone provider leased a 1/2 acre of the back corner for a tower.
He put both of his kids through college with the lease money and now has a nice retirement supplement tied to the CPI.
My son brought a place it a cell tower on unfortunately.
The pervious owner sold the land under the tower instead of leasing it.
Wife has a cousin that gets $1500 a month income for the cell tower on his property.
I used to do this. I still can, but the cellular tower construction industry is A ****ING MESS.
I would do it because there is good money in it, but don’t expect complete satisfaction. If you have a good, experienced lawyer (Who perhaps used to work in the industry) then you’ll get treated right.
But at the cell company end it’s their job to lead you into a tar pit.
