I think if you broke it down to specifics we could help.

I currently have little to no money, but got the idea to help manage the property and offer specifics, from Brandon Turners "Buy and Hold Real Estate Investing" book.

Through my PM research, I landed on T&H realty's website and it did look impressive so I am glad to hear first hand that they deliver what they portray.

Hey BP family, I am looking to connect with some general contractors in the Charlotte and north of Charlotte area, specifically by Lake Norman.

For example, if you are looking to connect with other members near you, want to learn from people in a specific area you’d like to invest in, or have a desire to find people interested in certain topics, you could use the search feature here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/search/users

You can learn most of what you need by reading a few books and digging into the forums for specific questions. 

Since you want it to be as easy/quick as possible, I'll give you three things you need to learn...as a starting point:1 - How to Analyze Markets to find the Micro-markets that are good to invest in.2 - How Money Works, so you can develop an unlimited number of strategies which will allow you to be able to take advantage of as many opportunities as possible.3 - How to design your own REI Plan by reverse engineering from your specific set of financial goals back to where you are now...then execute it by turning around and just following the breadcrumbs.4 - (OK, I said it wasn't as easy as "just one thing")...Learn what the meaning of the number sequence "1073751824" means, and how to base EVERY decision you make on the meaning of that number sequence.5 - Learn why it's so important to follow the 2 Golden Rules of REI, of which GR#1 is:  NEVER, under ANY circumstances, ever, EVER, spend your seed money (your starting cash). 

If there is knowlege of what their trade area demographics are you could theoretically use that to hone in on specific markets where there is no MCD's currently, but that would mean overlaying the current competition map as well to find those holes in their overall location strategy.  

Think of this for what it should be, flipping your "cash".Third, as your cash increases, take some (NOT ALL) of it and invest in cash flow,...the rest keep flipping, repeating steps 1 and 2,...and then 3 again, until you reach your financial goals.REI isn't a series of one time events, it's a system of continuous steps, all leading to a specific financial end result.

The split is very firm specific.
