If you could invest 2,000. What would you look for?
$ 2000 is too small an investment, need at least $ 5000 to earn an earning of $ 500 per month.
Thanks! Got it. What about to create new names instead of buying a 4/5L.com/org/net? And does it make sence to invest into new endings like .blackfriday? xyz? (wtf), shop, tv or citynames?

500 $ per month via domain parking?
I would diversify it as much as that limited amount offered.
I would invest about 45% in .com (about fraction traffic on .com) because historically that is where best returns have been. I would ask myself what sorts of businesses are just emerging but scale so that there could well be thousands in cities around the world. I would split the .com between made up pronounceable brandables, words borrowed from ancient or other languages, and two word names where the second word is an extension I can get at hand reg cost and sell as pairs.
I would put a bit in single word .co, io or .ai.
I would search for one good .org at low cost.
I would buy one nice .ca because I am a proud Canadian, eh?
I would put the rest into low cost new extensions that made elegant domain name phrases.
I would spend $50 on silly domain names because I sometimes like silly names and my grandchildren would like those best. We would consider horses, monsters and silly rhymes

It is just off the top of my head at 3:30 AM here but I edited my post with $ amounts in each section. They would be mix of hand reg, registrar marketplace and NamePros acquisitions to make the dollars go far.Can you please break up the portfolio allocation here.
I'm a relative newcomer and I would say remember two pieces of advice.
1...buying is easy
2...selling is hard and dedicated
I started off with little money and I have spent under $2,000 so far but the estimated value of my 126 name portfolio is $64,000.
This means that the potential return on investment is roughly 37 to 1.
However, I have a list of another 900 domain names to be registered and their estimated values would be $406,000.
The science comes when determining which of the 900 domain names I should register next.
All are hand registrations by me and I usually come up with the names by watching news programmes, both foreign and domestic, social media, dictionary words of the day, my own environment and reading NP as much as possible.
I have .coms, hyphenated names and less popular domain extensions but I view it as spread betting as maybe, just maybe I might just get lucky once and a domain name which on paper looks un-impressive may just win The National (horse racing).
Good luck with your endeavours and remember, don't always listen to good advice!!!
Who appraising your portfolio ?
Just buy one premium single word domain name between 2-5K. Renew 5 years, add a lander, forget. rinse and repeat.
Quality is king. Quantity of sh*t is a headache.
That is a good strategy but turnover could be very slow. I would prefer cheaper names and quicker turnover. I think it's easier to make money that way. Expensive names usually take much longer to sell. But it's up to each individual to choose a strategy that suits them. This strategy suits you so is one you should follow, but it won't work for everyone. There is a whole load of money to be made with cheaper and faster turnover domains. Neither strategy is really better than the other, as both work. One downside to buying just one domain name is that it could take maybe 5 years to sell, so you'd be waiting 5 years for a profit. Of course you'd also save yourself a load of time as you'd have less to sell.Just buy one premium single word domain name between 2-5K. Renew 5 years, add a lander, forget. rinse and repeat.
