You, like many cell site landlords, may view your wireless lease as an income generator, but we can help you turn that income stream into significant wealth. Our typical clients have used their proceeds to purchase properties, pay down mortgage or other debts, or invest in high-yield instruments. How you use the proceeds is entirely up to you. Try our Reinvestment Models to see how much better off you would be.

While we cannot tell whether YOUR own site is at risk for termination, we can share these facts with you:

• Cell site leases, regardless of the stated, maximum term, typically can be terminated by their tenants in 30 to 90 days. This cancellation clause seriously limits the value of your lease and your ability to rely on the rents for any length of time greater than the stated termination period.
• Mergers and acquisitions continue to take place in the wireless industry, and many merged entities have announced their intention to eliminate redundant cell sites across their service area.
• We, as one of the largest private leaseholders in the United States, have seen dozens of our assets terminated.

Many landlords who are concerned about losing their lease income have opted to sell their leases, thereby eliminating the risks while gaining capital to take advantage of more substantial reinvestment options.

A host of factors go into the determination of lease value, and we can give you an idea of the range of values. You can also access the Wireless Bluebook to view the purchase price of leases in your area. The final price is determined by a review of your lease, an analysis of your site location including population growth projections and a number of other factors.

No. Once the transaction is complete, you are under no obligation to return any portion of the proceeds, even if the site were to become decommissioned. If you plan or decide to sell the underlying property, the proceeds of the transaction are yours, regardless of the property ownership.

Unlike monthly rental income, which is subject to the ordinary income tax treatment, our single-payment lease purchase or hybrid / bifurcated lease purchase options may give you a more favorable long-term capital gains tax treatment, while the non-recourse loan option allows you to defer your tax payments. We will be happy to review the tax scenarios with you and recommend the solution that best suits your unique financial needs and goals; however, you are strongly encouraged to seek professional tax advice on this issue.

Absolutely! You can join the Wireless Landlord Association (WLA) to enjoy the Site Promotion Service which is provided free of charge to all WLA members. When you join the WLA, we will include information concerning your properties in our online site database, which is promoted to all major carriers. If WLA is able to bring new or additional wireless tenants to your property, you are obligated to either pay WLA a success fee of 25% of your new monthly rental amount procured by WLA for the duration of the lease term, or monetize your lease through Wireless Capital Partners for a 20 to 40-year term.

The Wireless Landlord Association is an advocacy group created to support the specific needs of current and prospective wireless landlords and leaseholders. In addition to the Site Promotion service which is free of charge, members may upgrade to the Premier Plan to gain access to the Rent Continuation Program and our range of professional services. Please visit the WLA website for more information.
