I know its not for everyone, and I definitely wouldn't recommend it as your sole source of marketing leads, but I'm getting a tremendous amount of traffic and daily inquiries from CL now and its actually been great.If anyone else here is struggling with the same issues I was having and might be in need of some helpful pointers, feel free to send me a message.

Hey BP,I was doing my daily Craigslist Lead search and came across someone with a crazy situation that I could use some help with. 

I am really searching daily for a decent deal where I can make somewhat of cash flow, and get my feet wet in the real estate world.  

A good agent will be able to send you daily feeds of new properties on the market for you to sift through, can pull comparable sales ("comps") to give you an understanding of how the asking price compares to what's actually sold, and to give you a perspective of how the market has been doing over the past 12 or so months.

Get that sucker to the first page and leads will be coming in daily.

Thank you for your presentation at the SDCIA this month and for creating, maintaining, and constantly improving a valuable tool I use daily in my business Property radar.

To keep a good perspective, I try to balance my traditional workload with the work I do for investors so no matter what the market is doing daily, I can still work towards my bottom line.  

Balancing between "Happy Wife, Happy Life" and "Take the Risk" is tough, daily, but I am learning to do it.

We've just been looking daily for properties to come on the market

At least once a day these days, I'll get a PM, email or phone call from someone who starts the conversation with something like this:I'm very interested in getting started in real estate investing and am looking for a mentor...Typically, the next line is a request for me to mentor them.To help all of the new investors who have done this (or are planning to do this), I thought I'd take a few minutes to clarify a few thoughts I have on this topic...especially given that I'm sure there are plenty of other BP contributors who deal with the same exact thing on a daily basis...Let me jump right to the point:  The vast majority of people who ask me this question aren't really looking for a mentor...they're looking for a coach.
