Quick flip vs long hold: the math, not the vibe

Quick flip vs long hold: the math, not the vibe
Same name, two strategies. Which depends on renewal drag, not optimism.

The tradeoff
— Fast flip (wholesale to other domainers): cash in days, thin margin, no carry cost.
— Long hold (wait for end-user): 5-20x, but every year of renewals + opportunity cost eats it.

Decide by
— Renewal cost vs expected hold time. A $10 .com you'll hold 3 years costs $30 to find one buyer.
— Your liquidity: holds need a portfolio that can sit.

📌 Pick of the day: track 'cost basis + renewals' per name in a sheet. A name held 6 years isn't a $9 buy anymore.
