| Internet Business Guide Review |
| I have discussed this business with several Buyers with about the same reaction from each. The interested Buyers are concerned about declining revenues for this site due to the sub-prime debacle.To better understand why this is an unlikely event for this business perhaps an example will help.
The average appraisal costs $450 (according to the seller who is in the appraisal business). The average price for a one year advertisement on the site is $150. The Seller continues to have a 90% renewal rate because the price of one successful lead from this site generates a gross profit of $300. The cost/benefit ratio to an appraiser means they keep their ad running. |
