Maybe there is a good chance that the property lies in an area that is going to be redeveloped or taken by eminent domain?

Make sure there is no eminent domain proceeding, epa cleanup issues, or pending litigation etc. that would affect the property.

I have one that is three years old and thinking of selling it along with the domain name.

I don't have much of an opinion on your specific company/brand name, but as a technology guy, I would definitely spend the $10-20/yr to reserve and hold one or both domain names.You probably will want to set up one or two email addresses for you and your partner.

@William Leahy I haven't built my own sites yet (need a little more free time to just sit and focus on it), but I did pick up a number of domains and right now I direct them to my Facebook pages for the rentals which is a very quick and easy place to start with marketing and Facebook allows you to  redirect people to Airbnb or VRBO. 

mindy i am in houston for the last 8 years. i can tell you this much... pre-harvey we had arguably some of the most overvalued real estate... post harvey we will see a lot of communities simply not get rebuilt.there is actually a lot of rental capacity in houston so i dont think its a similar situation to what NOLA had and comparisons in recent history are going to be hard to find.in the short term , people are still gutting houses... actually theres a shortage of drywall in some of the suburbslabor is also in shortage... but i think theres a lot of people laid off from oil and gas from the last downturn that will welcome the work with open arms.... but the problem is some of these floodway communitites simply wont come back.there is no good solution to the problem houston has at this point without MASSIVE infrastructure development and buying properties in floodways with eminent domain (which i am sure many will be happy to have happen to their flooded house)ive personally talked to 3 diff people that said they are planning on taking insurance money  and fire selling house the first chance they get.  

Are you finding it is it important to use an email with your own domain?

We have four in-house brokers that do mainly leasing and some investment sales.

One thing I do is buy a list of people who have had there credit pulled by a mortgage company that ALSO have criteria that tells me they would be a good prospect for me and create "purls" they are domains, for example bob smiths purl would be bobsmith.yourwebsite.com (all done automatically) and slap that bad boy on a 50 cent postcard and mail to people based on zip codes.

I like being the "master of my domain" so to speak.
