I would take a look at the BiggerPockets Meetups under the tab Community-->Networking Events.

The other half has a nice,retired, and disabled lady on a fixed income who's not going anywhere unless some unfortunate, sad events happen.I've been living and renting out this duplex for a year now, and its solid, no issues, and essentially turn key.

I'm hoping we can make this a regular event.

What would I do with a liquidity event?  

Not sure if I will use a property management company or what but I'm curious:After reading 7 years to 7 figures, it occurred to me that I could possibly just offer a free apartment to someone that will manage the property for me!

The buyer would potentially provide a down payment (agreed by both parties) and then the seller will hold a promissory note for the difference between the sales price of the property and the down payment provided by the buyer.In essence, the seller then becomes the bank/lender and then must follow all of the same laws that lenders must follow in the event of a default and formal foreclosure proceedings must occur.In regards to the renting of the property.

Failure is not an event.

The networking at these events are unmatched.Thanks for the book suggestions.

I like collecting rent while renovations occur, but it does complicate things.  

It DID however, occur to me, maybe I could wholesale this deal, as it is in a great area, and great price, despite the work needed.
