Do not buy any traffic domains right now. You will get blown away and the suprises you get will be ones involving lower traffic than expected; not higher.
Study domains every day for six-months. After that you should be able to judge a good name without even asking about traffic...you will know that it gets at least XXX when you see it.
Don't be in a rush to spend a lot of money until you know what you are doing. The big advantage that you have is your access to capital, so get some knowledge first and hold onto your money. You will know when you are ready.
Most people don't realize that the great generic names that generate type-in traffic and revenue really aren't for sale at the multiples you will be looking for. The names are worth so much more than the going rate that smart domainers just won't sell them for traffic and revenue....their value is much more as a brand. The odds of you getting the best of a deal at this stage are very low, and if you can't get the best of it you need to sit on the sidelines until you are ready.
Always be wary of traffic names that cannot be spelled or pronounced. Keep it as simple as possible and avoid buying names until you are certain you know what you are doing. You will make a lot of money if you wait. The laundromat theory of buying names for significant amounts of money that will generate investment rates of return (Turn-Key business approach) will likely bury you until you are further along in your understanding.
There will always be bargains out there.
some good advice in there "WhoDatDog"!
I would expound on the "always be bargins out there" part.
This is the area to be key on.
bargins are snapped up quickly!
many times a "bargin deal" will be sold in less than 60 seconds after posting.
hesitate, and you miss out.
however i think traffic/revenue names are the best investments for your plans.
as you want immediate cash flow and expressed that "resale" is secondary.
although you don't want to have an excess of traffic names which, should you have to sell, would not maintain or exceed the original cost of acquisition.
do your research!
