[TowerTalk] Got a tower/antenna in a CC&R subdivision?

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Well why not just split the "risk"?

Prepare an agreement where the homeowner and ham split either the increase or decrease in property value? When the property value increases, it's a win-win situation! You could even sell that paper and buy a better rig.

Because it would be a blank cheque (sorry, that's Canadian for check) to 
anyone whose property value declined for any number of reasons. YOU 
would be the reason the property declined, not general market weakness, 
not because the neighbour forgot to paint his porch for 25 years and not 
because the neighbour's house was built over a sacred burial ground.

Your proving otherwise would be very expensive, so much so that it might 
be cheaper to just pay the difference and shut up.

Not sure anyone wants to sign a blank check like that.
