Anyone had a tower installed on your land? They are offering free WiFi at the highest speeds they offer for allowing them to install the tower (approx $100month value). But i have heard rumors that being that close to the tower sometimes is not always good. They are pouring a slab and setting up a fence and all the safety things but also curious am i underselling my property value? I am currently paying $60/mnth and its great speeds but we are also trying to get our cost of living down so this would help.

Several years ago, my dad agreed to lease a 75' x 75' piece of land to Verizon. They were going to put a 185' tall, stand-alone tower on it. The lease was for 20 years, with Verizon having the option to cancel out every 5 years. The lease was $700 per month, with a 3% increase each year.
Verizon sold that part of the business, before they installed the tower, and they cancelled the lease after 5 years. Still, pretty good money for nothing.

I signed a lease with AT&T about two years ago and they just completed the tower about a month ago. Are you talking to Nexlink directly or have they outsourced the work to a Site Acquisition Specialist?
A few things to consider:
•Access – as folks have stated Nexlink will likely want 24/7 access
•Electricity – will they run their own lines/box or leverage yours
oHow/when will they pay you for the electric consumption?
•Payments
o Free Wifi, Monthly Lease Fee, Option Payments, etc
•Taxes
oWho will pay taxes on the improvement if the county assigns it an appraised value?
How/when will they pay you for the taxes due?
•Other Provisions
oDemo/removal if the tower is no longer being used or monthly rental isn’t paid
oRight of First Refusal provisions on land sale
Be careful as you don’t want to impact the ability to sell your property in the future
oImpact to your finance company (if you have one)
Mortgage Company might need to sign-off on it

Nowhere near the scale of AT&T, Verizon, etc..they will be under FAA heights, etc..
Their offer is right in line with what these companies do.
I have built many a tower like this, and used programs to find dead spots so I could talk to land owners about this very thing.
If it's a self supporter, requires FAA licensing, etc..more money IS in line.
Is it guyed, or self supporting? If guyed, how tall are guy post (unless they use augers anchors, in which case are they fencing around each auger), any livestock in the area.
They will require access 24/7, 365.
Make sure you get a dedicated feed just for you with the alotted band with being 100% yours. Lots of companies say you get so and so speed, and you do if its available. If it's fri night though, and everyone is online, and you do not have a dedicated drop, it won't matter if they gave you a bazillion MB per second lol.
When lightning hits that tower and it will, its coming straight to the origin. Make sure it's not your house! Power company needs to drop a dedicated line.
Any other questions, just ask.Last edited by MadHatter; 04-17-2019, 12:38 PM.

Have a buddy who is right next to thier tower and has the fastest non fiber connection I know... Tower is on the far west side of Cleburne.
Not sure if that's enough money for them to build and have full time access to my land though
Will say that we were customers and themat is a side companyLast edited by catslayer; 04-17-2019, 12:54 PM.
