I have a few paid for rentals that i am currently studying on selling on contract for deed to establish a solid retirement income minus the rental hassle.

Our preference is to keep the existing loans and the great terms we've established--if at all possible.  

I am looking for regular networking events in the Long Beach or surrounding area to establish contacts and exchange resources, thanks!

I got several hits, and chose to go with someone who established themselves as a cash buyer who could close within 2 weeks.  

Not only will my established and establishing connections help me in the field, but continuously working with both of these types of businesses will help me gain a better understanding of their specific financial statements and tax opportunities/implications.

My goals in real estate are to own rental property and to be able to establish a positive cash flow from these investments.

Yet establishing a 'trusting relationship' for long-term projects must be earned and its going to take time.

@Jeff Meachen It will likely take months to establish the executor of the estate and for it to be ready to legally sell.  

Establish Lead Generation systems that are working 24/7.  

I don't understand you comment.Partnerships can be established as long as both partners agree to the terms ahead of time.
