Homes become billboards in exchange for mortgage payments

Palm Beach County residents are lining up to turn the facades of their homes into billboard advertisements in order to subsidize their mortgages, thanks to an offer from California-based Adzookie. The firm, which covers mortgage payments for each month that the homes keep the ads up, launched its campaign last week and already has 44 homeowners signed up in Palm Beach County. To be eligible, homeowners must agree to stay painted for at least three months and can receive payments for up to a year. [Palm Beach Post]
