I’ve said it in the past that I started domain investing with zero dollars and I don’t take money out of the kitty for anything other than domain related purchases. But I have made one exception and I am going to make one more. I built my portfolio by making websites and flipping domains and have been able to make consistently good income since 2007 doing it. Three years ago I took out a good amount of money to buy some land. An opportunity came up for a piece of land that was too good to pass up. My wife and I agreed that all land purchases would be through the nursery as we are heavily invested in the nursery and the point of our savings was to diversify our savings in case something happened to the nursery or to the family i.e. I need to leave the family business. So I bought it with “side money” to keep our agreement intact and because I knew I could flip it. And I still could, its already worth double what I paid but it provides good cash rent so I’ve kept it. It turns out another piece of land has come up and its too good to pass up. Its a sizable chunk of change and will make a big dent in my capital but if they accept my offer its a good investment. I won’t know for a few weeks if they are going to take it but I’m holding back on a few of the big purchases I was going to make in order to keep some capital free. Life is about making money and there are a lot of ways to make it. Compared to domains, land is a very poor return but banks sure love to lend you money when you have it. And the ability to borrow money is almost as important as having it in the business world. Here are today’s names. Click for current price.

Take a look at some of the names coming Here is the FULL LIST
Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. I Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by me, Shane . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything I say is based on my own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or my opinion is correct. I hand choose my names but I am paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good
Diversifying is a great idea. That’s why many ended up in domains. Lately I have been grabbing some bitcoin and more lll.cc’s. As for land I always go to the government tax sale site. I picked up 25 acres near us for under $10k. Also Govdeals dot com is a great site for picking up government surplus everything including property. Good luck with your investments.
