This is a big reason not to do it. My county ordinance excludes ham radio
from their definition of communication towers. I would even be concerned
if Remote Ham Radio changes the use to commercial status.

Also, I believe that cellular antennas are quite large, can your tower
support this windload?  You also may need to supply electricity 24 hours a
day which can put some big spikes in your house during lightning events.

No experience, but caution -- beware of zoning issues that apply to
commercial installations as opposed to ham towers.
