Sample Table
| Category | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| Location Factors | How does location drive tower rent? | Rent follows network need. Sites that solve clear coverage or capacity gaps command stronger terms, while over-served areas earn less. |
| Elevation & Terrain | How does elevation impact rent? | Higher, cleaner lines of sight reduce the number of sites needed to meet goals. If your height saves tenants money or time, rent improves. |
| Market Conditions | Do urban sites always pay more than rural? | Often, but not always. Hard rural gaps or corridor sites can outprice average suburban parcels when alternatives are scarce. |
| Zoning & Permitting | How does permitting difficulty affect rent? | Hard jurisdictions raise tenant costs and delay risk. Parcels with smoother approvals often capture better economics. |
