I may actually start out on a team that is already fairly well off, so I get the opportunity to learn a bit before I start looking into teams really in need.
I clearly still have some thinking to do. But thank you all for the input! I greatly appreciate all the help so far!

I'll chip in with what little experience I have and agree with mentoring on a team that is already well off and experienced first. For me, it was hard starting off with a rookie team right off the bat. You start feeling too obligated and needed at every meeting, it becomes pretty stressful with a new team.
