Subject: Retaining a Cell Tower Lease When Selling Property
When selling property with a cell tower lease, keeping the lease is a
good option. Done properly, you get the best of both worlds: full value
for the property and ongoing lease payments, with the option to sell the
lease in the future should you desire.
Selling a property and cell lease together will rarely yield the full
value for the lease; however, selling the lease in advance of selling
the property may also not be attractive. You may not have other places
to invest the proceeds where you will get the same return, for example,
and taxes can take a big bite. Additional options, such as 1031
like-kind exchanges, are complicated with short deadlines.

Yeah only CLECs here, because you sure aren't going to find a
CenturyLink sales person in the last two decades that would tell you
they sell BRIs. Even before then, I latched onto friendly order
writers and the few repair techs that could handle writing an order
for me as long as there was an active BTN to bill against. But they
are all moved on now. Then again last time I priced it, in this
CenturyLink area, a BRI is MRC of $79 + CALC, so not exactly friendly
pricing, even if you do end up with two lines. (And woe be on you, if
you want something reasonable, like hunting between those two
channels/lines in Centurylink land).
I don't see ISDN technology going away, because the basis of BRI are
some of the very same protocol suite in use on PRI, and PRI is a very
active business. But BRI line cards could be gone as wasting space on
the switches.
