What Does a Newbie Have to Offer?

I've only been here on BP for a few days and I'm already noticing how many people are looking for mentors and how many people there are who are new to RE investing thinking that it would be great to partner or work with someone more experienced. They're seeking an education, practical, real world, hands on experience.

Yet many feel that they have little to nothing to offer in exchange, and either they don't have the money to pay for a coach or they've been burnt one too many times from late night TV "gurus" and have become cynical to paying cash upfront.

If you're an experienced investor, what could a new investor with little experience or cash offer you? What would you be willing to accept in return for letting someone tag along with you for a day or even possibly partnering up on a deal knowing that they lack experience and knowledge....?
