				 | The Best part about this, is the guy who allowed the name to expire is going to be recieving a check for about $80,000!!! Probably has no clue about the money. He will most likely be pretty upset at himself for allowing the name to expire. |

				 | Because O is next to L I would think the typo would be not so common, especially if the person is a bad typer who does it slowly. Now good typers who type fast can make that mistake, however the stereotypical person who seeks a loan by typing loan.com it into a browser   is probably a bad typer, then again they might be shitty spellers so that might be an advantage.

				 | I thought this domain name would have fetched around $250,000 - but after considering what a fellow Domainers told me yesterday. We guessed that the domain name parked would bring in around $200 per day - it would take years at that rate to get a ROI - however durring that time the value of the domain name will probably increase - eventually one of the big Mortgage places will probably pick it up to direct traffic their way. Whats a few million to CountryWide? |

				 | I believe the domain expired at Network Solutions (called NS from here out). NS then sends the domain name to auction at SnapNames. The original owner is then cut in for a piece of the sale. Ive been told it is between 10-20%.  So, the guy who allowed the domain name to expire - (may not even realize it was valuable) will be recieving a check from NS for around $80,000 (was the estimate I heard). |
