NIMBY: Go On Be Honest, You Want a Cell Tower (or the Lease Income)

Cell towers and cell phones have gone hand in hand for the last 40 some years. I don't know about you, but I can't do without my cell phone and neither can my wife or 5 boys.

Anatomy of a Cell Tower Lease: Hire a Consultant!

When it comes to cell tower site leases, there are two types: the original lease that is put together before the site is built and then if you decide to sell there is a lease that 'wraps' the original lease and often times extends well beyond the original lease term.
