But domains also hold risks. If you don't really know what you're doing you could spend $100K on useless, lame domains that will generate no revenue and have no re-sale value. At least with real estate you could buy an acre of empty land out in the middle of nowhere, and in 10 years I guarantee it will have gone up in value.

But a recent change reduced the school tax portion from about 1.5% to closer to 1.2% in most areas. After homestead exemption it gets the taxes closer to $6,000. But the school tax will go back up again... @ Bryan – it was about 2.7% and I almost put $8,000. But a recent change reduced the school tax portion from about 1.5% to closer to 1.2% in most areas.

But the school tax will go back up again…

Good point on the carrying costs: also there are many other expenses for home ownership in this regard. And domain names, if chosen correctly, appreciate much much faster. hmm i though it was at around 2.7% for property taxes in texas: like $8,100 per year.
