She brings the discipline and planning to the table.

In my limited experience, the hedge funds I know of won't pour you a cup of coffee without you bringing a number closer to $500K to the table.

Experience managing your own properties would be a plus, but an incredibly resilient positive attitude is also something you'd want to bring to the table.

Bring $3000 to the selling table, sell for $120k,minus 6% commissions, minus 5-7% buyer concession.

Cultivate relationships with investors who appreciate and respect what you bring to the table.

I have a hand written addendum contract that I made at the coffee table and made them sign.

I tell them, if there's not enough money to put food on the table after paying rent, it's not gonna work.

If you're looking for maximum leverage with cheap funds, that's a way to go about it...Other than that, lower mortgage is always better... you could always take out a HELOC against your rental that you're paying for in cash if you wanted to sell your primary and had to go to the table with cash.

A couple apps that might be useful for the Summit:- Card Munch - to digitally store business cards- Expense Log - to log expenses from the trip- Open Table - to set dining reservations- Urban Spoon - to find restaurants- Family Feud - to play during the boring sessions (just kidding)

However, I can only deal with the cards that are on the table, and offering something at 530 bps above the 10 yr treasury is very attractive to those with their money in CD's.Offering equity or a partnership arrangement opens up a whole can of worms that I wish to avoid if at all possible.Rents might rise in a modestly inflationary environment, and home prices as well.
