Virtual Real Estate is moving so fast that soon the analogy will be switched around, and virtual real estate will be used to make predictions in real estate instead of vise versa, and those who will master the domain name investment skills will profit in both spheres of space.

Am I the only crazy one or does everyone think this way?

This is domain discussion.

Are you suggesting audio related domains?

In other words, those that are successful in investing in domain names will be able to transfer their experience into real estate investing?

I finally get the point...

I agree to a certain extent.
Afterall, you are aiming at lucrative 'customers'...

Correct. Currently people look at real estate history to predict what will happen in the domain name market, and to learn investment stratagies.

For example, if you have 10 acres of land, and 1 of them is unbuildable (a steep hill), if you group it with the other 9 acres, it will still sell within a timely manner as long as it is at market price. If the one bad acre would be sold on its own, it would take ages until someone actually finds a need for it.

Same could be applied to domain name investment. If you have 9 really marketable domains and one which there is no market for, you can group them all into one profile and sell the profile, which would generate more volume on the market and better liquidity on the investment.

If you just sit down and study some of the tactics used in real estate investing, you will see that these tactics are picking up in domain name investing.

Generally speaking, the tactics are being picked up so fast that it seems that in the near future domain name investors will be developing new tactics which could be applied to real estate (and any other property-ownership investment). No other investment vehicle is exploding so fast in growth, it literaly grew to where it is now in just about 10 years. (Do we have any seasoned investors to correct me?).

We still havent seen the emergence of domain name financing ;) However, some companies are already giving out loans using domain names as collateral. I think it will come.

Maybe we can have companies give loans to others just to buy an expensive domain...

Hope it comes in the near future.

True, and in just the past 5 years we saw the formation of;

1. the Business Web - .BIZ
2. the Information Web - .INFO

These extensions are paving new prime land, as the WWW real estate reshapes beyond .COM.

However, such new domains are slowing down.

People still prefer the good old .com over all others...

The degree of that preference should wane over time as people become familiar with, and see good usage examples of, the expanded choices web addressing today offers.

Absolutely, I love this business but it is a tiny industry to be compared in size or stature to real real estate is bordering on lunacy IMO Just the realestate market in one city is bigger than the domain industry. Great industry loive it but lets keep it real I don't think TRUMP or TOll Brothers will say lets stop building and buy houses.com

How can we compare the virtual company known as google.com with the real company as General Motors? One is up in the internet, one produces real metal cars.

Hmmm, gross/net (pun intended) profits perhaps? Market Value?
From Forbes 2000
Forbes 2000
General Motors
sales profits assets market value
193.45 3.69 479.13 20.15

Google

(all figures $bil)
Considering how long each has been
in business....and that Google MV is
2 1/2 times GM. The future is evident.

As A Real Estate Investor I Would Like To Say Two Things.

1. Land Is Finate. There is a physical limit of land on this planet available for ownership, however with the explosion of Country Extensions, New Country Extension Variations and Sub Domains etc. there is no physical limit to Virtual Real Estate.

However for those of us who believe that '.com Real Estate' is the Equivalent of Downtown Paris, London or New York, there is a physical limit of Virtual Real Estate Available For Development.

2. My comparison of Physical Real Estate and Domain Real Estate is this.

When I buy a property I try to do this with as little down payment as possible. My property purchases are selected as such that Rental Income will cover my Interest Payments. If this criteria is met than I can sit on my investment for many years waiting for a boom in the marketplace.

This is the same as finding a domain that can earn you annual parking income equivalent to the yearly registration fee. If your name earns its reg. fee whats the hurry to develop or sell.

And Never Forget, A lot of fools have lost their shirts in Real Estate!!!
