Facebook Ads for Real Estate Investors can be another powerful tool to generate motivated seller leads. There are various types of Facebook ads you can run, such as image ads, video ads, polls, carousel ads, lead ads & more. 

The top three ad types that we run for our wholesalers & investors include image, video & carousel ads. Lead ads are simple to set up and generate the cheapest leads.
