Home Foreclosures are the Buyers Fault

Buyers were not dumb, they were wishful and greedy
Did you read your local paper over the past few months and come across an article about a neighbor that is losing or has lost their home, because today in our local paper in Palm Springs, California Logic read about a couple that lost their home and their life savings (75,000.000 dollars) but when one reads between the lines of blame directed at the real estate agent and the mortgage broker and now without trying to point blame at an individual or company, there is the blame it on the system by our own government officials mentality.

So you can clearly see that the couple claims that one of them is legally blind and the other is on dialysis, what dialysis has to do with reading, understanding and signing document papers is beyond me.

What these home owners remind me of is when a down and out celebrity comes onto a talk show blaming everything under the sun for why their lives and careers are dead and gone but at no time does one look into mirror and see what they have done.

If buying a home was easy Logic would have bought ten
Look we can sit here and blame everyone involved in the process. What really went on is the equivalent of what the Diamond Industries, De Beers does to push diamonds or the Travel Industries, Travel Industry Association of America does to push tourism is the National Association of Realtors pushes housing and this is in part to why people bought something they could not afford. I mean when is the last time you were in a department store of a car dealer and they asked you hey do you know you can afford this? No they are there to sell you what ever is not bolted to the floor.

People we all come in contact with sellers each day even Logic who encourages you to invest in Domain Names or sign up and utilize our Email Marketing Service to grow your business because we are all in the business of selling you something a true American way of life today since we really or barely produce any products here in America anymore The Boeing Company excluded.

People need to understand that you are going to more then likely be told and encouraged by sells persons that you just got to have this and you are nothing if you do not own one of these and on and on but what all of this housing market really gets down to is Americans lack of doing their homework.

Then there is the greed factor that why buy a 4000 square foot house or one house when we could buy and 8000 square foot house or buy 3 or 4 houses because these babies are going up every week and in fact they were until the numbers got out of perspective.

There is only one thing that for most American’s was not going up it was their income a major ingredient in the value any property and without the increase in income nothing can sustain a continued upswing. Those growth numbers would require that the medium income rise along with the housing market but it never did and in fact unemployment is rising at an alarming month over month number that can continue sending America into trouble.

Investing in Real Estate
Like any investment there are risks meaning things that go up and go down so why does America’s tax payers which Logic is proudly one of become responsible for an investment gone bad? If you or I buy a stock it is because we believe it is going up up up and the person that sold that very stock sold it because they thought it is going down down down and as the stock buyer the stock goes down where is the bail out for us? 

Do not buy into the, I misunderstood the paperwork
Look when a person buys a home they are making (in most cases) the largest purchase of their lives and if they truly did not understand what they were reading about the financial obligations and because of the property price why did the property buyer not hire a real estate attorney to advise them and review the obligations unless it was because the property buyer knew the risks and never thought the values would decrease some of the issues an attorney would have questioned and Logic calls this not facing reality. 

Domain Names Ride Out Recession

Domain Names are a good business model
While we Domain Name Investors are not reading a whole lot on the subject of domain names in the newspapers or magazines these days with all of the media coverage on the state of the economy and the up coming election the world of domain name investing on forums and online trade groups is alive and well.

Logic has been reading about some great domain name sells at DNJournal.com and realize that buying and holding is a wise idea for Viper Names because for a good example we recently read a story about a guy that bought a name for 60.00 (the going rate if you encounter no other bidders) off of a dropped domain name site and years later he sold it GasPrices.com for 8,000.00 dollars only a little later to see it sell for 225,000.00 dollars but fear no evil about this mans loss because he made several million dollars a few years later for only two names.

He went on buying and today is one of the major buyer, developer and seller of names and sites and some are related to cities being like Victorville.com. One name I thing he bought for thousands of dollars and sold it only a few months later for 1.8 million dollars so we can all see he is making great money. If you have been a reader of this topic of the Logic Talk Blog then you know like the man we are writing our commentary about owns over 85% off his names in the .com (TLD) Top Level Domain the extension following the name you buy and to buy .com extensions is the only way to truly invest in domain names, to us a .com is like the real estate investor world location, location, location.

Learn about domains before you burn your money
We offer you basic to advanced education about how to buy a domain name that will have a true value to others at a future date on our site here Domain Name Buyers Guide and we offer the latest domain name tactics here on this blog Domain Name Investing.

Logic has two names that match this story
We went in and looked at our domain name portfolio here Domain Name Portfolio’s and found some names we liked to share for today’s story one being MicroCharts.com a term used for the stock investing world of futures, Micro Charts. Charts are good way to watch and document anything including the futures and domain names. We also own a single word domain name that is a city in Kentucky Knottsville.com a little place or location but at least Logic owns a city domain name so I wanted to share it with you.

Investing in domain names appears to be riding our the Recession
Living in an economic dowturn time has several advantages and we will mention a few positive ones because all we are reading about is how bad everything is so we can look to the bright side of these times. Look at Viper Logic we developed a great business product Viper Mailer an email marketing software here Email Marketing Authority for small, medium and large businesses to grow their customer loyalty and to utilize a service that has the best (ROI) Return on Investment a few years ago and sales went ok but nothing to really pay the bills then the economy went bad and with some effort by us to enhance the product and to become the Email Marketing Industry Authority on the subject sells took off and today 2.5 years lter the product is Viper Logic’s hottest offering.

Next the youth of America has had it really good looking at the past 12 to 15 years when most of these children were very young and now today they are nearing graduation from High Schools and Colleges are entering the roughest economic time to find a job. Great timing and Logic means this because this country was really getting into the luxury items on barrowed easy money so all f this correction brings back value to the special things in life like High end Cars (over 100,000.00), Mc Mansions (over 1,500,000.00) and then we see theatre box office sales at all time highs a great back to basics for family values.

However welcome to a true recession proof investment that shows no near future signs of coming down off of the great ride it is experiencing and there is a theory to why this might be so recession proof if there is such a product or service that exists. We think that it is because of the value owning the correctly worded domain name for a company’s product or service is worth what ever they have to pay because the payback is near immediate.

A great example of this can be seen right here at Viper Logic see we have several products our Email Marketing Product Viper Mailer and the domain name is ViperMailer.com but one other way to get to us is through EmailMarketingAuthority.com and we have Viper Gate a domain name seller and web site hosting site at ViperGate.com buy again you can get to us through ManagedWebSiteHosting.com and both of these generic keyword names best describe who and what we are gaining great natural traffic looking for detailed information on both of our products.

Companies understand what good domain names can do for their sells
Companies that what to get to their audience understand the value of owning keyword domain names and the value associated with those domain names so they will pay what it takes to capture these site visitors and when you utilize this style of approach and own thes names and their associated sites with informative information then you have a fixed marketing cost and do not need to advertise as heavily to get these buyers to your sites.

A little education on Domain Names and you will be a solid investor
So to wrap up this domain name investors encouragement article it is to be treated no different then any other investment it all starts by doing your homework and then you begin buying names turning some along the way for a profit will not hurt you and can add fuel to your wallet to advance into greater names to add into your portfolio of domain names. So come along with Logic and join the Domain Name Investing industry.
