I'm hoping to get some insights from y'all on what I might be able to bring to the table to potential partners/mentors on my first few deals.

I understand what he is bringing to the table i also have a great skill set and experience to offer. 

What can I bring to the table to be attractive enough to qualify as a co-sponsor for example?

@John Warren At 62 units, at $1,000/month rent average, that's $31,000 in move-in fees left on the table?

Any perspective you bring to the table would also be appreciated by the others in the group.

Interest rates are low, they won't always be and when the tables turn and our ARMS for our commercial properties get out of hand  paying them off will be more attractive.As people age generally their risk tolerance goes down. 

Anyone flipping houses that does not have a license leaves big dollars on the table. 

Or is it time to take some chips off the table @Steve Milford?

Or should I save a bit more and bring more money to the table in this market?

Just make sure you find the right partner, work out all the terms ahead of time, making sure that both/all partners bring something ($/network/skills) to the table.
