When you advertize on your car you get to write off a portion of your car as a business expense, no?
Actually if you get a Wi-Fi connection on your laptop your car could BE your office.
So where do you get these signs? Online? cost?
christian, u r a wild dude! but i hear u. u managed to make ur car a moving billboard withOUT it looking cheezy. pretty darn good job - EXCEPT (i have to be a stickler about stuff like this), you misspelled foreclosure ... u left out the 'e'. hahahahaha. hell, not that it matters tho.
I've gone the simple route....with a twist. I have :
I Buy Houses . com
694-9400
On the back of my Audi....but with a twist. My Audi is silver, so I put black lettering on it with smaller reflective yellow lettering on top of the black lettering....so it looks like the yellow writing is outlined in black. It shows up MUCH better during the day and the reflective lettering is as bright as police lettering at night. The proof of the pudding, of course, is whether or not it buys houses....and the answer is YES! I can DIRECTLY attribute 2 purchases to it this year.
Christian,
Tell me about your "Win this car for free" advertising...its different enough that i would call just to find out more.

Just bought two magnetic signs...
I HAVE BUYERS
4 HOUSES

(Yes, I am a bird dog)
12x24
Black lettering on a Bright Yellow Background
only cost me $60 bucks from a local sign maker
We'll see what kind of response i get
Nievana, you done crossed the line. Some smarty is going to ask you for your liecense as you are offering real estate.
Make a small change. Come on you know how. Missspell, that does it.
I drive a 1981 VW pickup truck Diesel, it gets 54 MPG and has gone over one Million miles. Of course it is pristine. a lovely gray with black underings and a red accent stripe. Special wheels and it is pretty. Everybody ohs and ahs, mostly elderly women, they identify it with their past some of them I have dated. Prior to the flood of course.
On the back of the tail gate is a sign, a light gray background with heavy black lettering. and it says. BIO-Diesel.
Now you would think everybody would stop and ask. My god growing your fuel instead of having to dig for it? Now that is really something. Do you know how many people have asked me about it?
One. Just one and he is a fuel engineer.
I have had more luck putting a sign in the mens lavatory. "For a good time call Jill" Jill was selling real estate in Hollywood. She got a lot of calls but most of the callers were distracted. So we added to the sign. "Dont call Jill she is busy selling really cheap Real Estate"
Now she gets calls, Some even about business. Go Figure.
The best (come on) sign I ever did was an experiment in human behavoir.
Sign on front of house House for sale by Owner, Call Eva. 888 123-5656
Then we crossed out the name Eva and the telephone number and added.
Still for sale CHEAP. Call Mortgage Assoc. ask for Mr. Simon Legree.
888 123-5656.
Oh my god the calls poured in. By really clever twisting (a means of motivation which bends the caller to your will and direction) we sold the house to a Real Tor. Who should have had it to begin with from the REO.
Another sign that worked.
This house is in foreclosure, the bank does not want it. Will somebody please buy it? the Bank Examiner. (aka Lucius Foster) 888 123-6869
What you are after is a response. The rest is up to you.
When I was a child I had a Model T Ford touring car. No roof. I painted it white and then wrote many little sayings all over it. On the back was Dont Laugh Lady Your Daughter May Be Here. Now that was a big hit in Beverly www.HIlls.The PTA wrote a letter to my mother, I think they suggested Castration but would settle for Decapitation.
It Pays To Advertise Lucius

fmmp,
Any luck with getting pictures of how people have their advertising setup on their autos???
I would be interested in seeing what people have setup..
Wu-
If Florida had front license plates, I'd get a vanity one that said "RVO VOM"!
Check the parking lot at the next REIA meeting or conference...you'll get a ton of ideas...
I have a trio from Brad3 my dns company is having server problems <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_evil.gif">

I get mine at www.banditsigns.com
They start at $50 for a pair and are pretty good quality..
I have seen a number of vehicles in the parking lot at our investment club with the "I Buy Houses" and a phone number. I think this is pretty effective and simple. Does anyone know the tax advantage of having the signs on your vehicle as opposed to tracking the business and personal mileage?

I thought I posted these before, but for some reason can't find them in this post. Remember, the key is that you really only have 5 secs to catch attention and deliver a message. You need to attract the reader then deliver an action...
Message then action...
Sell Your Home Now...Call 555-5555
Don't confuse them with anything else. Make it look professional and like you know what you are doing...it's that simple.
Here are the pics of my advertising...I have changed the message since then, it was an experiment at first...but now it's a mainstay.

Hmmm, So how do we enter to win the car???
Enquiring minds want to know!! Raffle, drawing, pin the tail on the ..........!
I want to thank FMMP for putting the pics of my Explorer up.
To answer the question someone asked in an earlier reply to this thread, the lettering on the Explorer is made of Vinyl. I had a local truck lettering company (the kind that does police cars) design and letter my Explorer and it only cost $500.
I think they did an outstanding job and they only had it for 2 days.
I have only had about 5 calls from it since I had it done in November, but at least it gets my name out. Plus, I think it says a lot to a potential seller when you pull up to buy their house in a new vehicle with lettering all over it----it shows commitment and that you aren't just some "seminar graduate" or that you watch too much late night TV.
The only thing I have to add about the car signs is that, I would think twice about showing up to someone’s house with lettering all over your car. The sellers do want some type of privacy and as soon as you leave the house the neighbors will be knocking on the door asking them whats going on. I did pull up to a sellers house with my magnetic car signs on. I bought the house and had to return to the sellers house to pick up some things and they asked me to remove the car signs before I came over. My assumption was that people were being nosy and came a knocking.
I'm all for advertising on the car, it's just that if you do something that's somewhat permanent, you have another vehicle to drive to buy the house.
The other good thing about having somewhat permanent advertising on your car is that it’s probably less likely to get stolen.
