Purpose of loan:
I currently have a portfolio of 500 domain names with some of the rarest and best names in the world including:
-  OrlandoTravel.com (Current developed site)
-  Gamble.us
-  Dinner.tv
-  MovieReviews.tv
-  RapidMoney.com

Domain Names, in case you're unfamilar with them, are like online real estate and prices are rising at astounding rates. Businesses are finally realized the power of having a great name and are paying millions for them (see dnjournal.com for all the biggest public sales each week). I'm looking for a great financial partner(s) to help move my business forward.

With an additional $25k I would look to buy another big domain name. At today's prices, I'd expect to afford a strong 2-word generic with natural type-in traffic and, more importantly, one that I can develop.

I'd consider myself an expert in this field and appreciate your consideration in helping me build my dream.

My Professional Background:
I have a BS in Marketing followed by extensive experience in Marketing and Brand management including:
-  6 years managing the national advertising for Lexus automotive
-  2 years as a Sr. Marketing Manager for an INC 500 technology firm
Currently a Sr. Brand Manager for one of the largest newspaper companies in the US

I'm very smart, well-experienced, trustworthy, and successful. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to view my linked-in profile or resume.


My financial situation:

My "B" credit score is due to the debt I've incurred building my portfolio of names. 80% of my current debt ($60k total) is from purchasing names, but the revenue they earn in PPC advertising alone ($2,000 per mo) is more than double my minimum monthly loan payments. This excludes my 6-figure income in my regular career and the upcoming affiliate revenue from my newly developed site OrlandoTravel.com which is expected to generate $4000 per month once the SEO and SEM campaigns start to take hold (expected in 6 months).

I'm very comfortable managing my debt and hope you can see that my income from my current job(s) far exceed the payments on my outstanding debts.


Monthly net income:
-  Current Career = $7,500 net per month
-  Existing Domain Portfolio Revenue = $2,000 net per month

Monthly expenses:
  Housing: $ 2,600 per mo. (short-term rental)
  Car expenses: $ None
  Credit cards and other loans: $ 60,000 (80% is from purchasing of current domain names)
