We have a local meetup that meets in person as well as streams via Zoom every month if you are interest.

I also want to give back to the community (who hopefully helped me improve my deals) by analyzing one deal for a random person a week and also helping out newbie investors like myself.

Be ready to compensate that person. A

You will need to have absolute trust in this person as they are your eyes and ears, so be thorough in finding the right one.

And deliver it in person.   A

I could even name names of self-proclaimed expert on Bigger Pockets that has moved up in to the rank of expert Status without having much cash flow or net worth to back up Their persona.

I have met with the top three in person a few times.

The person who received the 1099-INT needs to file Form 1040 Schedule B and subtract the amount of interest that should "belong" to the other person as a "Nominee Distribution", and then issue their own 1099-INT to the other person for that amount of interest, so that the other person can appropriately list it on their own return.

As such, I would not classify this person as a landlord. 

If you have one person managing the property, you may consider paying that person a management fee, separate from the 60/40 split.
