Your background in construction and problem-solving mindset is a perfect fit for real estate.

Flipping or rental properties seem like a natural fit for you.

You need to assure them that you will not tolerate any of these things and will be on top of the property 24/7/365.

You will be 100% leveraged and you are paying top dollar, because the turnkey company needs to make a profit as well.Real estate is not for everyone and it can make your life miserable.

In our situation, property managers won't likely fit into the pie since we are looking to sell the property in the open market.However, you can always leverage your "rock star" agent who found you the deal (assuming it's not an offmarket deal or from a wholesaler) to check up on the construction every so often.

The one you can scale.I know successful business owners in the fitness industry, tanning salons, real estate, window coverings, maintenance, billboard, ATMs, etc.Generally, I would be skeptical of jumping into a business based on YouTube videos hosted by and featuring people that are likely primarily trying to sell you their respective courses.Small businesses can indeed be great investments, but they are hard.
