What do you bring to the table?

Question

After a lot of reading and watching videos (besides this being common sense from my point of view) is that I need to bring something of value to the table.  For anyone who may not know, the "table" is where I come for ideas, whether it's for a transaction, renovation, structure, etc.  I have no money to bring to the table, but I have no problem providing sweat equity and I'm also about to become a certified residential home inspector.  What value does anyone else bring to the table?

Drive, passion, and willingness to learn, even through failure.  I have little capital to invest at the moment, I am working on saving capital right now, but that does not stop me from looking over deals and analyzing houses and properties.  I am constantly checking out the for sale magazines that include a lot of the realtors listing around town, my browser home page(s) are pretty much Zillow.com/Realtor.com/Trulia.com or some other MLS.  I look for all kinds of properties and even though I don't know what I'm doing (yet), I still crunch the numbers and play around trying to find value that works for me.

I wasn't really sure...at first I was just trying to bring cash to the table and play the game. Not that I didn't try my luck at a few hands, but constantly got pushed out by bigger pots.

Strategy flip: I'm still bringing the money, but now I'm looking for the deals directly. Long-term is to still setup a portfolio, but in the meantime I'll be driving the leads into my funnel and pass them along to you!
